Things that please me - Part 5

Do bands still play at the HIFI bar ?

Biffy clyro almost blew the roof of that place .years back.
Fuu they were great gigs.

Great small venue IMO.

I went to wrestling there last year, it was such a great venue for it. It was a bit of a bummer the company never went back there... although they ended up at Northcote Theatre, which is closer to my house.

Got my girlfriend a necklace for her birthday. I went to cut the little tag off and carelessly snipped through the chain. Took it back to store at lunchtime and they swapped it without any questions. I paid an extra $25 for the warranty this time.

JACK WATTS?!??!

There's no swimming there .

 

[Richard Pryor]

Just flew to and from tassie for a brief visit. Don't know why but was two best flight experiences I've had at both ends, security staff polite, babies pretty well behaved on both flights (pretty much only being vocal when ears popped which is unavoidable and fine). No one being dramatic on flights or at terminal. Just all around smooth travels.

Goddamn The Killers are ****ing sick live

Yes, Flowers draws a lot of his live inspiration from Springsteen.

A fantastic showman, excellent voice.

No pressure.
Hope he passed.

Train driver would be an interesting job.

He did.
Mind you as someone who has been on his trains I could tell he was behaving himself.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Seen them 2 years back they were AVG at best .
Noithing like when Sam town came up.
They been pretty poor since hot fuss and Sam's town albums.

yeah Hot Fuss was incredible, Sams Town also very good.
Their other albums just didn’t do it for me.
Went along to Rod Lever Arena last night, and came away a little disappointed. Should have gone to the Hot Fuss concert.

They would be more meaningful if reserved for special occasions.

Precisely

 

[Off The Couch]

Wouldn’t matter - people would still be disrespectful

Personally I respect those that no longer accept invitations to do them - why would you welcome anyone to country that dislikes and disrespects you so much

It's pomp and ceremony most of the time. There are 216 games of AFL footy each year. People aren't interested in seeing 216 welcome to country ceremonies. Just like they don't want to hear the national anthem sung 216 times or 216 renditions of The Last Post. There are fans that have been to the MCG hundreds of times. It still sits on the same land that was home to the same people before Batman turned up. And whatever pre-game ceremonies are on, 2 seconds after they conclude you will be inundated with ads from Sportsbet anyway.

NZ do the haka before rugby tests but do we need one before every Super Rugby game involving a NZ side? What about when the Tall Blacks (lol) or All Whites (lol) or Black Caps play? It would lose its impact.

I'm just a privileged white male but I think the AFL do indigenous round reasonably well then put in a pretty token effort the rest of the time. But they did have Sir Doug Nichols round(s) in rounds 10 and 11 this year and scheduled a game in Darwin in round 9 (and 10) and a game in Alice in round 12. I don't think Traeger Park has lights but it would be good to have games in each of those places as the centrepiece of indigenous round. Most fans know of the Riolis but how many really know what footy is like in Darwin and the Tiwi Islands?

Parent teacher interview just before, it pleased me that we got to sit in adult chairs as opposed to the ones the 9 year olds sit on.

I feel like I’m squatting to have a shit when I go to my 5yos class and sit on their chairs

Our PTIs have not gone back to in person since covid. All done over zoom which sucks when they're trying to show you kids work.

Really? I actually really enjoy PTIs as it’s fascinating to hear that the children that are absolute arseholes at home most of the time are perfectly mannered, productive students and wonder how they flick the switch so seamlessly
