Universal Love You know you spend too much time around the GFC when...

[GeelongFTW]

you chuckle when the number 119 is mentioned!

Any additions?

 

[bulletproof]

When you change 'global financial crisis (GFC)' to global credit crisis in every document that comes across your desk to review.

Maybe a niche one....

What? I was talking about the Geelong Football Club.
Edit: just got it.

When someone says the GFC was hard in '08, and you think "yes they were"

 

[Micksy]

When you see a sign for Chapman's Rd and yell "CHAAAAPPPYYYY!!!!!!"

Or Mooney St = MOOOOOONNSSS!!!

You don't kick any more - you 'toe poke'

 

[Vdubs]

you name your pets after Mackie, Varcoe

That's where our players are great - I have pets named after about 15 of them. I only have 4 pets.

Your daughter tells your 5 year old son that he will have to leave the family if he dares barrack for another team. Safe to say 5 years later he's as one-eyed as his old man.

You are trying to convince your wife that if your first child is a boy you want to name him Joel Cameron [insert last name here].

The house next door to me is number 119. I always smile when I walk past and see that number on the letter box.

How about filling out numbers for Powerball or Tattslotto by using the jumper numbers of your favourite players instead of birthdays, etc?

This thread is a lie.

You can never spend too much time around the Geelong Football Club!

When your grandmother 70+ gets the 07 tattoo on her ankle, leaving room for more
(her words) and then follows up.
Proving pain threshold is not genetic and ignoring the bowls mates who said
"That's silly, what if you want it removed when you're older?"

I got the middle name. Joel

When you get disappointed that Vardy changed his number, because you live at number 36.

 

[dazbroncos]

the wife, an american with no footy interest at all, is setting alarms at 1 in the morning for you to make sure you get up for games without having to remind her...

One she knows the fixture, and two she has the time differences down.....

GO Catters

At half time during your 11 year old's soccer game you take him aside and instruct him to attack the ball like Jimmy Bartel.
EDIT: oh yeah, and you live in New Zealand.

Spoke with the father in law last night. He was heading to bingo so I wished him luck. He then went on to say he was only one number off the big prize the other night. Reckons he was sitting there waiting for 35 to come out for ages.

My response - Bloody Chappy.

When you inform your mother that you can't see her until the following week because Geelong are playing.

It was my Mum's birthday.

 

[CoolCat75]

...When you remember the years of birth of your kids via association to Premierships - 2007 and 2009 (absolutely true!)

 

[CoolCat75]

...and I'm in IT, and when I'm entering test data, the names Gary Ablett, Joel Selwood, Max Rooke make frequent appearences.

...when you can no longer go to your favourite cafe after you find out the owner is a Hawks man.

Convert him!!

 

[James1970]

Convert him!!

Nah, best to keep away from pure evil, or I'll end up like Peter Cushing waving around a crucifix.

Is tempting though to go in and order 11 short blacks...
