Broncos, a cat and the tolls
I had an enjoyable Saturday afternoon at Wynnum Manly Leagues club punting on the horses in anticipation of the Broncos taking on the Gold Coast Titans that evening. I had never been to the Wynnum Manly Leagues club before and I found their facilities to be very good. Bar / tab staff were friendly and relatively efficient and I could still feel the aura of the great King Wally Lewis as I walked around the place. At one point a horse called King Wally was running in Perth so for an omen bet we had a sneaky go at it, unfortunately the Kings power wasn’t strong enough to get that donkey home.
Oh and a little horse called Apache Cat absolutely annihilated the field in the Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley over 1200m. He gave Weekend Hussler a very solid shellacking before saluting at the great odds of $5.30. Happy times.
The game was good to see but a live but I do prefer to watch league on television. The Broncos looked a little rusty to me and I hope they get things together for the season pretty quickly. They normally get flogged in trials so I guess I should be happy with the win. Good to see a packed house at a local small sporting ground again.
One blight on the weekend was the annoying situation that occurs when using toll roads in this state. I am lucky in that I don’t need to use the toll roads in my everyday life. I can only imagine the frustration of people who are forced to use these things day in and day out.
Can some one tell me why the hell anyone who uses these roads would continue to use the toll booths and pay with physical money. For goodness sakes you slack jawed yokels get a freaking E Toll transponder in your car!
Driving across the gateway on the weekend took and extra half an hour (going North) because 75% of the traffic are trying to fit through 2 booths. I am going to transfer my transponder to on of the army’s new / second hand M1 Abrams tanks and steam role every niffer who is trying to pay for the toll with coin.
Get on Apache Cat and Maldivian next starts!
This is ssssooo typical of you SJ that I can’t help but laugh. Here you are gambling away money that could be in the hands of a charity. You are also at a local leagues club watching the team who destroyed local Qld league clubs. The irony of the situation & you & your life is all a little too tragic for me!
Rehashing similar old topics wouldn’t be so embarrassing for you except that you have a reader (me) with a brain sharp enough to remember you’re cash or credit card “debate” last year!!
We’ve all donated to the bushfire appeal IASM, so stick it in your arse. There’s also another little issue going on at the moment called a financial crisis. Our gambling and drinking was merely aimed at pumping some cash into the economy via a local spoting club. And anyway, did you not see the donation that Tab made to the appeal? We were all part of that in some small way.
Agreed on the Broncos point. They have ruined the game in Qld and taken advantage of the fact that they’re the only NRL side in Brisbane for years to make sure they get all the best young talent from the state. How it can be deemed ‘fair’ that a state with 63% of the population of NSW can have only a third of the number of teams makes no sense to me. And that’s now the Titans have come along, for years it was only 1 team and then 2 when the Cowboys formed. Even until recently it was only has-beens or 2nd rate hackers who would go to the Cowboys because the Broncos had such a history of success that everyone wanted to go there. If you ask me they should’ve won twice as many premierships given the fact they’ve effectively been a state side playing in a club comp.
Fat One, I hope you enjoyed your evening at the local “spoting” club. We don’t have those in sydney.
That’s the best you’ve got??
If that’s the line you want to take champ, you might want to learn when to use “you’re” versus “your”. There are also at least 4 mistakes in your post about laying the copper cable.
Oh Dear Dear Fat One, you have provided me with my heartiest laugh in a while. If only the Marlin would take the bait as easily!!! Then again YOU’RE dumber than a fish!!!
Of course you set that up IASM, how foolish of me.
I’m not sure why I assumed that it was just your usual lack of wit. Oh, that’s right, it was because you’ve delivered about 3 witty remarks in the last 12 months and one of them was “you’re a bunch of bevan losers”.
PS. Note the correct use of the word “you’re”.
King Wally is overrated for the last time. I am surprised he made it out of Wynnum. Glad its nearly football season.
I am also surprised that you can still use cash to pay for tolls up there. How backwards.
Shut up boring AGAIN!
OK Oh Fat One, I’ll take the lure…..please point out where I have incorrectly assigned “you’re” in a sentence within the copper cable story?
Would you prefer the longer version of everything eg. “either you are cash person or you are a credit person?” Do I really have to dumb everything down to THAT level for you??!!! Unlike you I do NOT enjoy rambling on.
For the record, I set you up with the other deliberate typos you imbecile!!!
Skunk, get lost!
You are cash person? You really have DUMBED it down. Again you have shown you are and will always be a DIPSTICK!
Skunk, I see that you are the only one brave enough to challenge me! Pity you are NO challenge! You are a smelly Skunk!
Tigger, I note even your lippyness has been silenced for once.
Fat One, you have been tucked into bed. Have a nice long sleep…
I concede after that tirade Dipstick! Please don’t call me a smelly skunk. I beg of you. I am at your mercy of wise and rich one
See I am unable to put a sentence together. I am at your (you’re, ur) mercy.
You have guts Skunk, I will concede that.
Tigger & the Fat One have fittingly run & hid like the vermon they are.
Hello Fat One Hello are you out there??….. either it’s welfare receipt day & you’re busy lining up for you & your 6 kids or you are not responding because you are admitting you have been crushed & defeated by me AGAIN??
Jesus you’re annoying. You used it incorrectly in the last line of your first response to this post, you imbecile. I never claimed that you used it incorrectly in the laying the copper cable story, just that there were an additional 4 errors in that one.
I don’t want you to ramble, just use correct english. “You are” would not be correct either you pinhead. “Your” would be the correct word to use when referring to SJ’s cash or credit card post.
Your argument about setting up the other mistakes deliberately makes no sense you twit, so just admit you didn’t do a spell check and move on.
PS. The Skunk smashed you.
PPS. Tiger has left you alone at my request because I felt sorry for you. If you like I’ll lift the ban and unleash him again.
Checkmate.
Again.
Fat one, “either you are a cash person or you are a credit person?” is correct you IDIOT!!!! Also any educated individual would have also been able to understand my abbreviation (shortening) via “you’re” within that sentence as well.
I set you up with the deliberate typos & you I both know it.
The only thing that Skunk could smash is of an olfactory nature.
Please please let Tigger off his leash. Surely the rest of the boys you have captive in your dungeon are sick of hearing from him & would be pleased to see the back of him. (& I don’t mean the way you’re keen to see the back of him either!!)
3…2….1….GOODNIGHT…
Your sentence was as follows:
“Rehashing similar old topics wouldn’t be so embarrassing for you except that you have a reader (me) with a brain sharp enough to remember you’re cash or credit card “debate” last year!!”.
The use of “you’re” is incorrect. The correct word is “your”.
Are you sure you aren’t Jethro?
This is the last time I will try to explain it to you, you dim-witted dwarf brain: “you’re” is short for “you are.” Both expressions mean the SAME thing. I was talking about the story when SJ was discussing whether individuals were cash or credit card people when it comes to paying for small amounts. (Are you still with me you microscopic medulla oblongata?) My use of the term “you’re” is entirely correct in this instance. Either YOU ARE a cash person or YOU ARE a credit person!!! I’ll give you 1 more example of using it correctly in a sentence….” …YOU ARE acting like a mentally retarded dumbo & YOUR parents must be ashamed..”
Lesson over, I’ll let you get back to your captive male sex slaves.
PS: If this is one of those times when you are playing stupid just to frustrate me, then hats off to you on a job well done.
You are correct IASM, you’re is short for you are, and they both mean the same thing. Unfortunately in the line you used in your first post above, neither is correct.
Try to explain it as many times as you like, with as much name-calling as you can fit in, and multiple attempts to pretend we are talking about a different line. I’m not talking about the line “YOU ARE a cash person or YOU ARE a credit person” and I never was, especially since you never used it until after I noted your error.
The sentence we’ve been debating is “Rehashing similar old topics wouldn’t be so embarrassing for you except that you have a reader (me) with a brain sharp enough to remember you’re cash or credit card “debate” last year!!”.
You posted this sentence above, on 16 Feb 2009 at 7:56 am, and referred to SJ’s debate in the possessive sense.
Under your argument the following sentence would make sense:
“…………with a brain sharp enough to remember YOU ARE cash or credit card “debate” last year!!”.
Are you calling SJ a cash or credit card debate, or are you saying the cash or credit card debate was his?
You have now intrigued me Fat One. Are you really that stupid that you cannot comprehend that the same 2 words can contain a several different contextual meanings? Your miscomprehension of my sentence does not make it incorrect.
….Please please understand it this time. You are becoming ever so boring.
I shall focus on your final sentence “Are you calling SJ a cash or credit card debate, or are you saying the cash or credit card debate was his?”
NEITHER YOU DOCILE D…HEAD ……
Try to think of it this way; SJ suggested in his story that individuals are either habitual cash users or credit users for meager payments. Consequently for the sake of my post I named the story “you’re cash or credit debate.” Do you get it yet??? I was referring to the story. Try replacing “you’re cash or credit debate” with “how to trap homos in your home” & you may be able to comprehend the sentence.
Do you seriously not find it embarrassing that your feeble brain could only interpret the sentence in 2 ways….both of them incorrect!!!
You remind me of the kids who struggled at school because they were unable to distinguish literal meanings from others.
PS: If you aren’t as dumb as you’re making out then you’ve played a good game here.
