  1. And the fact that the drone manufacturer is actually ‘dji’ makes it even more awkward… however, I will leave my original comment in place, as a form of punishment for my blatant stupidity!
  2. How do you think my family feel?
  3. The first thing that springs to mind for me when I think of such occupations, is Patrick Swayze as Jim Cunningham, the motivational speaker, in the film Donnie Darko.
  4. Further to this, I should say that a portion ($5) of the sale of each shirt goes to the buyers choice of either Cancer Research or MND Research.
  5. off topic, but with a profile name of ‘djr’, could you possibly be the drone operator at training? (don’t mind me, I have far too much time on my hands, and I love a bit of intrigue)
  6. Shouldn’t that have happy faces? Or are they that much of a handful?😉
  7. Isn’t there a positive to be taken from these turnovers, in that the players applying the pressure that leads to said turnovers, are doing their job extremely well? So, what we have are players learning what is required to retain possession of the ball or successfully get it to (or be in position to receive it from) a teammate, while at the same time, we have players applying the kind of pressure that is required to create turnovers. (maybe I’m just a guy whose glass is overflowing, because I was too busy looking at the tap and not at the glass.)
  8. How about a Mc Adamia… that’d be nuts!
  9. Unfortunately I’m going to be jumping back on board the ‘Chemo Bus’ in January due to my test results showing that my health has been heading south over the last three months. As a result of that news, I stacked our final two gigs with as many guests I could find who were willing to join in with our band. No doubt you won’t be familiar with some or all of them, but on the Saturday we had among others, Richard Burgman (Saints and Sunnyboys), Marcus Phelan (Brave New Works, The Numbers and Western Distributors), and Jonny Gretsch (Wasted Ones). It was a fantastic afternoon, the joint was packed, and I couldn’t have asked for any more… at least so I thought. On Sunday we played a friend's xmas lane party he holds every year for the residents in the street (we were neighbours until I moved). As usual I had applied my scatter gun approach to inviting musicians to join in, working on the theory that maybe half would front up… how wrong was I. Most did front which left me with the dilemma of trying to fit them all in somehow. There were Mick Daley (The Remains and Corporate Raiders), Terry Serio (The Elks and acting in various TV productions), Murray Cook (The Wiggles), Richard Burgman again (Saints and Sunnyboys), Dom Turner (Backsliders and The Rural Blues Project) and Bob Spencer (The Angels and Skyhooks). The accompanying vids were taken by a friend and I ran them through iMovie. The sound is not a great representation of what it was like actually being there, but it does at least give you a taste. These are the first time that Bob and Dom have played together, and they’re accompanied on bass by our guy Frank Grubisa (a brilliant luthier by the way), and on drums by our guy Joe Breen and his occasional sub in our band, Luke Robinson. Oh, and if anyone is interested, I’m selling t-shirts I’ve designed for my band; all the info can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1WgnFDSy1m/
  10. What’s with all of these father/son players popping up everywhere? I mean, my father was an aeronautical engineer, but me…
  11. I was hoping for something more in the vein of Hunter S Thompson!
  12. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to have home derbies in each of WA, SA, NSW and QLD, with the rest all played in Victoria? Would be better financially and probably better crowd wise.
  13. Yes, I think the confusion came from the fact that he doesn’t credit the photographs or make mention of where they come from. I should have made the comparison with what is in the MFC app, but hadn’t done so. Guilty as charged!
  14. What are the odds that the North game will be in Tassie.
  15. Oh, I hadn’t realised that as there are no watermarks and I’m sure he has claimed them as his in the past. Interesting.
