Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 16: Baghdad Bombers v Geelong Gumbies at Abdu Prison (Heritage Round)

[GWS Goose]

Sweet! So I can starting racking up my sins again.

Confessions are a great loop hole

 

[Jabba73]

Always the glass half empty type.

That’s the nicest thing you have ever said about me, please take it back!

I would have described the Gumbies as lovable flexible characters who entertained a generation

You could describe them as the Beatles of kids TV and because it is your opinion, we would still let you have it, despite it being patently incorrect.

 

[GWS Goose]

Yeah I’d be interested to know who instigated those conversations just for curiosity’s sake.

I only found out about this 2 minutes ago, but I m invested now.
I want explanations from each of the protagonists.

[Jabba73]

Only cause we are top lazy.
Recruiting someone already attending committee meetings sounds like it could really save some work

Except gab213 bi longer attends committee meetings and is not in the LG.

His talent is being wasted.

Brace yourself in case it plays out as predicted. We are not immune here.

I’m not ashamed to say that I have loved the time I’ve spent in America, took 4 holidays of lengths from 2weeks to 8 months there between 2006 & 2017, and at one stage was looking into my options to move there - for the last 8 years I’ve had no interest to return and can’t see that changing any time soon

I was actually in the US on 20 Jan 2017, but on the other side of the country in Portland and while it was a clear blue state you do meet folks who aren’t that way inclined. I was staying in a hostel, and over dinner one night another guest was talking with me & a staff member about the pending inauguration and that while she didn’t vote she thought it would be cool to see what Trump would be like and couldn’t wait to see what he would do - she was a young, 20 something latino who had one kid that was at that stage being looked after by her mum with another kid on the way, she was also unemployed; basically, the text book definition of the person Trump wants to deport but here she is supporting him because he’s different

With that timing, it meant I was also there to witness the Womens march that occured on Jan 21. There was an estimated 100,000 involved in just Portland and at no stage did it feel dangerous to be amongst a crowd of that size, but can’t say the same for various places I’ve visited in the US, including the capital of Washington DC - I was in the capital in 06 and it would still top the list for cities in which I felt the most unsafe


I know we’re not going to be immune, I’ve got family who I know will be rejoicing in today’s result - the only way it would have been better for them is if Hanson & ONP lead the way out here

 

[Falconista]

Please, I hire someone to fold my washing.
I'm not wasting my time with menial tasks.

Careful, I've heard rumours that these people steal geese from ponds and eat household pets.

 

[cats_09]

You do seem like the type to pay for a blue tick

How long until you must pay for a blue tick and support the orange man, or else your account will be closed…

 

[GWS Goose]

Well can you tell me do you feel Breaker Morant had a fair trial then?

This is obscure yet relevant reference.
I enjoyed that more than you'd expect

[GWS Goose]

Me either mate.

Should we let sleeping dogs lie?

No.
Flog that dead horse
Both of you are hiding something.

 

[GWS Goose]

You jealous you didn’t manage it? Time for a rebrand to the Fumbles

I thought you'd be avoiding talking about rebrands.

 

[GWS Goose]

Where's all the Gumbies at?

We are the outliers in the league.
We are all.gainfully employed.

[GWS Goose]

I’m watching the menendez bros on Netflix. Not bad so far, I like real crime shows.

I spend far too much time watching true crime.

Is talent the right word here?

In Baghdad we torture your children if you lose a qooty contest. Why are you posting this in a Bombers vs Gumbies thread.

Get a good job like mine, when you can log onto big footy during the day.

Yes

He has more talent than Linda Lovelace and that's a lot of talent.
