Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 7: West Coast Wonders v Ophidian Old Boys at The Colosseum

[Elton Johns Wig]

Hello DD, you well?

 

[Braklet]

You can't beat Australia Post, i live at Argyle south of Heathcote and I've received two parcels this year via Argyle in Western Australia which were sent from Melbourne. I wonder what postcodes are for?

US Postal Service no better, they sent a package of mine to a completely unknown post office (luckily in the same state, but still). I only noticed this because they're trying to blame it on a bad label, which I strongly doubt or the Colonial Beach postmaster wouldn't have immediately forwarded it 2 minutes after processing:

 

[Braklet]

Well Sonny, once upon a time before the Sony Walkaman thingo, you had a smallish transistor that would fit in your top pocket with a discrete single earphone that plugged you into the exciting mono world of radio for your listening pleasure!

Yeah, I remember Mom confiscating mine after she noticed me listening when I was supposed to be sleeping. Obviously not nice stereo music from your collection.

 

[Braklet]

It's a miracle they managed to get any footy book i ordered over to Ireland so then mate.

In general Aus Post international to me in the US has worked out OK. Very, very slow, but OK otherwise.

 

[Braklet]

I don't normally partake in Pina Coladas but as its Mrs Turbo favorite drink and its a Gilligans Island Theme party lets go do it

Suggest you find a new tanning creme, Turbo. Looking mighty red there.

 

[Braklet]

The thing is I had all these brilliant stills organised to find out they were WEP format ...bummer.

There are quite a few browser extensions that will allow you to save WEBP images as JPG or whatever you want.

 

[Braklet]

So Princess do you also know 'I Dream of Jeannie' just as well?

Barbara Eden was my first crush, something like age 5 or 6.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

Having my own thread is the best thing ever, took 4 mins to catch up on 9 pages, hmmm if I remove DemurePrincess it would take 4 seconds.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

What else is happening in Kenneys world ?

Not much really, just chilling and enjoying the serenity.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

Just cruising Fleabane ?

 

[kenneyswarriors]

This would be a good sight at the end of today's game.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

And this

 

[kenneyswarriors]

Have to be more involved with the footy this week, as I'm assuming from the little bit of goss I've garnered in this thread thot our future premiership ruck has been moved to the bench to freshen up for a few games.

I'm probably the Boot studder by now.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

OOH, maybe I could sell a few of my Patented Boots

I'd probably even receive a community service award for covering up some less appealing camel toes.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

And now a bit of history, just to prove my lunacys from Historian Kenney.

Bought this Dawn mitre/framing vice a month or so ago, cause why not/only one I've seen/ It's a Dawn.



Sidchrome had bought Dawn and Joplin vices in 1973, Joplin were making the framing /mitre vice for a while.



In 1977 Joplin was wound up and in 1978 Dawn started making a mitre/framing vice - wonder where they got the inspiration ?


The Joplin arrived yesterday, don't really need it but it's also only one I've seen, LOL just bought it for the shared history, easy to show the linage with them both. And can't really see me using or needing them - I just be preserving some Aussie manufacturing history.

You people can probably understand why I have my own thread now - I be Nuts.

Does anyone actually still have a working Sony Walkman?

Just dug out my D-FJ65 model and shoulder case.

Looks to be in working condition, but might need to clean up one of the battery connection points as I was silly enough to leave the batteries in it many years ago, but hardly any leakage considering how long those ell cheapo batteries had been in it.

I reckon it might be even older than some of the Old Boys.

 

[BFew]

We can open for Oassis and watch the Gallagher bros punch on.

I'll be fine opening with you, as long we don't face too many new balls.

Being an Old Boy, you should face the new balls, to wear them in, before I face them too.

And if they deploy any sneaky underarm's like there infamous alto egos (the Chappelle bros), I'll be ready for them with deployment of my extra strong Rexona.

Are you going to submit that pic for the Guinness book of records, in the highest scuba-dive vertical jump category?

 

[BFew]

It's time to charge your Pineapples

How dare you abuse my Pineapple like that!

And if you think that the voodoo cherry is going to work, you might just be onto something there.

[BFew]

The 1978 song that made the Pina Colada famous, and got some dogs in here a bit too excited.

"I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina colada
I heard a dark voice beside me say
"Would you like something harder?""

 

[BFew]

I always imagined you riding a bicycle to school as opposed to walking.
