My neighbour that leaves the outside light on and keeps my bedroom bright all night.

Nose bleeds in the middle of speeches.

Busting my rear trying to get the red mud out of the pool before the hot spell...only to just get it kind of ok and the cool change brings more red mud rain. haha.

Raining on the one day of the week that I was supposed to play cricket.

I know..I will have to drive my kid to cricket...to sit around all day...while he sits around all day!

Feel for the curators working all week in that heat to get a pitch up that might not get used.

And I'm playing in Clayton, which is basically the centre of Melbourne's rain belt!

There are catch up games on Sunday for most of the leagues.

Have just moved back to Melbourne from Mildura and back I with the folks until I find a new place.

They’re both retired teachers and travel a lot, so fairly worldly. But EVERY NIGHT they watch the most garbage tv. Between us we have access to Foxtel, Netflix and Disney+, yet they’ll watch Border Security and I’m A Celebrity.

Now I’m a big Star Wars fan and my folks haven’t seen much, if any of the movies. They suggested we sit together and watch it as a family, which is cool. I suggested to wait for Ep9 to be released on Disney+ so we could watch it all without a gap. In the meantime I suggested The Mandalorian. They tried it for an episode and it was “too difficult to follow”. It literally follows one character! If we do end up watching the movies, I can see me spending a lot of time explaining things.

I just don’t understand how they get any sort of mental stimulation or enjoyment out of what they watch. I know I should just leave them be if they are happy, but it just shits me knowing they are spending their retirement watching compete drivel.

I can relate to quite a lot of that, but I don't think you can judge someone for not liking Star Wars (the other stuff, I completely agree with).

Paging DERO. Big red mud rain fan I hear.

I like red rain once everything has been signed off.

I think the purpose of TV diverged long ago from mental stimulation to mental sedation

Having a cold. Annoys you for a week before going to some other poor, unsuspecting victim(s).

 

[Drummer_19]

Any sort of joint celebrity sing a long during these times we're currently in. **** off, I'm sure Joe who just lost his job is feeling very uplifted with hope after giving it a listen.

Another 4 weeks of home school.

Not just kids that are getting the run-around. I'm meant to be at school to teach my VCE class then return home to remotely teach my junior classes. Not the worst situation, but not ideal.

 

[Zephyr Spirally]

Separating my two (also a boy & a girl) would be great.
I think either would be Rather jealous about the other going to school if they weren’t both home.
As it is I have one angry kid who finishes her primary school work sheet in minutes and one miserable one in Yr 7 who can’t focus in the online classroom and is just struggling on every level.
I can honestly say I have never been this stressed for this long.

Glad mine have all left the nest.

 

[Pweter]

The Furphy ad is very clever but geez it shits me.

Get an actor who at least has a semi decent kicking action then say the leather went through FOR A ****ING GOAL, NOT ****ING 6.

If they're going to play on Aussie Rules, respect the audience. If you need to ask "how did he kick a 6, why did he get 6" then what's the point of the ad.

Rant over.

 

[yodellinhank]

Furphy gives me reflux

 

[eth-dog]

People who use "lol" in a conversation instead of laughing or chuckling.

 

[Drummer_19]

People that park in front of your bins constantly, there's a whole empty street to use, park a bit further up and walk the extra 20 meters.

 

[Runk]

That I am struggling to find any real excitement at all pertaining to this season of AFL.

One of my colleagues says, "LAMO!". Laughing arse my off?

 

[Zephyr Spirally]

Schools still being closed.
My boy is a different kid, skiving off (home) school, angry, bad attitude, doesn’t care about his marks.
I just hope this is temporary but not sure about that anymore.
