It's weird and hence why I posted in this thread as a couple of months ago the guy asked me if he could mow my front yard while he had his mower out.
I said sure, if you want to but I was happy to do it on my normal schedule.

I'll confront him and ask him why, people are weird.
We're normally perfect neighbours, no noise, beautifully upkept house, etc but I'm tempted to get my top of the range portable speaker out in the backyard this weekend, possibly just after their screaming baby goes to sleep. ;)

Wedgies ads. Highly invasive. ******* shithouse.

I hve no idea what you're talking about?
If you're referring to ads on this site they're Diss's ads. I dont see any though.

My sites were ad free when I ran them, I hate ads. Easy to get rid of though and if they help Diss pay for the webspace the site is runon then so be it.

As most of us would be aware from the "Things that make you sad" thread Lightning McQueen has had a shocking run of luck with his son getting meningitis whilst on the Gold Coast requiring surgery and LM having to fly up there to be with his son over Xmas.
There's been some good news finally in that a transfer to the WCH from Queensland has been organised but as most of us would well be aware the last few weeks would have taken a shocking toll on both LM's wallet and emotions.
LM is always there for other posters when they're down on their luck and I think the very least we could do is raise some funds for LM to help out a bit to help out a little with the huge hit he would have taken financially recently or even just some pocket money to allow him to let his hair down and start to feel like a normal person again after the horrendous ordeal he's been through.

I considered a gofundme page but Booney pointed out to me they take 15% so its best just to organise ourselves. What I propose is people PM me and I'll give them my bank details where I will collect the funds and eventually transfer them across to LM when we have a final amount.
When people send me money I'll update this post with the amounts and total so everyone can see everything is above board.
I'll just list the amounts and dates received as we don't want this becoming a chest beating exercise (as also pointed out by Booney, he's full of good ideas!).

Please give generously to help out a brother and PM me to get the process started. Every little or large amount will help, they all add up!

Cheers.

Australia became a country on this day 119 years ago!
There's that number again!

Happy Australua Day all!

Great to see we've got past the $400 barrier today, only the 3rd day!
A great reaponse so far from the SAFooty community, it would be nice to get over $500 though so keep the PMs/transfers coming through, it all adds up!

Thanks to some late contributions we have now smashed the $600 barrier, well done all and thank you!
What a great community we have here,

Would prefer it as Vic v WA.
SA's side looks quite embarrassing.
All stars v Vic next best thing but not ideal.
Great cause though, so hopefully a good crowd.

Wowwee!

Haven't beaten the Victory in 7 years, 2-1 down 93 mins in and score penalties in the 94th and 100th minute to win!
Victory coach got sent off, fights were hapoening, never seen anything like that last ten minutes in my life!

Great stuff Mariners!

Wigan announcing their "Pride" game will be against Israel Folau's Catalan Dragons.
Well played Warriors!

Deceptive as North got rid of another 120k debt.
Profit and loss statements mean stuff all these days unless you look a bit deeper.

Anyone keen to help revive an SANFL tipoing comp this year?
I'd be willing to chuck in a carton or two as prizes if the numbers warranted it.
Let me know your interest.
Cheers!

It might be cool if we could revive other comps like the Buns for Crowd, etc too.

Sorry guys, I though a shadow in the AFL forum whilst the thread was here would be the best of both worlds.
No offense meant. I really didn't think its was an issue.
I'm not really fussed where it is and am happy to move it if back if its somehow upset people.

Count me in too, PM sent.

Hmmmm, now I've got to try and remember how to send a topic back to a thread it already has a shadow in, I hope this doesn't get ugly, lol.

Edit: Did it, woohoo! :D

Whilst I'm normally anti conspiracy theories I mentioned a product within earshot of my phone the other day and not long later an ad for it appeared on facebook for the first time ever, take into account my phone, the Google pixel 3XL, is always "listening" as it displays the name and artist of songs playing in the background on its lock screen. :?

Cool, I'll definately run one. At this stage there will be a thread for each round and people can put their tips in there.

Agreed dont get it. Why would you mess with beefo or chicken?
I love fish and I love tacos but don't get the combination.
Might give them a try at the Royal where they have a pretty good mexican menu and will report back.

Glad I shop Mon to Friday 9-5.
Always straight in and straight out.

Hard to imagine how we as a society survived when shops were only open 9-5 Mon to Fri and closed at noon on Saturdays!

My next question is, is anybody here stockpiling goods??

Or are we all sensible?
We always have at least 50 cartons of wine in the garage that cost us nothing as my missus works for a wine company.
Whilst I don't normally drink wine I'm willing to compromise in the case of an emergency.

Our only other concern is dog food.

Does she take online orders and how far does she have delivery?
Just last Thursday I got some flowers sent to my mum.

Perhaps SAFooty members could help out with flowers for their missus.
I'd buy a bunch to help out.

Ha ha Walker you loser

I'm not too fussed despite being a casual but worry for my co workers.
The way I look at it with the missus being a full time worker who can work from home, the fact I get a superannuation pension every fortnight and I wont be able to spend my disposable income at pubs Ill be fine.
Might be tempted to pick up some work at a BWS, Dan Murphys or Woolies to kill some time and save some $.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY all people entering South Australia must isolate for 14-days from their arrival.

This applies to South Australians, other Australians and other travellers, and will be supported by border control from Tuesday 24 March at 4pm.

Exemptions will apply for essential transport including health and medical supplies, health personnel and patients, food and commercial supply chains (i.e. the carrying of goods), healthcare workers, near border interactions, travel of a relative/carer of a dependant individual, and for emergency services.

Other travellers (for example fly-in-fly-out workers in the mining industry or national level sporting teams) could be exempt from this provision provided they had approved disease control mechanisms in place.

The criteria for testing for COVID-19 has been expanded in South Australia from today to include anyone who has travelled from interstate in the last seven days and have new respiratory symptoms.

Please only present for testing if you fulfill the criteria:
▪ You have travelled overseas in the past 14 days AND have symptoms.
▪ You have travelled interstate in the past 7 days AND have new respiratory symptoms.
▪ You have been in contact with a confirmed case AND have symptoms.
▪ You are a healthcare worker with direct patient contact AND have a fever (≥37.5) AND an acute respiratory infection (e.g. shortness of breath, cough, sore throat).

South Australia Police will continue to conduct random checks to ensure those required to self-isolate are doing so.

ℹ More information: https://bit.ly/2vESNiK
ℹ Self-isolation and quarantine: https://bit.ly/2xWFVoV

Got offered a role working at the BWS at Arndale.
Thinking I'll turn it down as
a) other casuals in my line of work would need it a lot more than me
b) I would rather continue to self isolate as my missus and daughter both suffer from immune deficiencies and the chance of picking up the disease in a place like Arndale would be pretty high

It was good that Woolies are looking after their staff like this and I feel like a bit of a prick for turning it down but I think its the right decision.

Some things should never be joked about.

Thanks for the Hard Lemonade LM, between 2 to 3 cartons of beer, a carton of Hard Lemonade and a garage fulll of wine I might just be able to see out Good Friday!

PS What are the odds when I go for a drive out north the freaking connector between Regency Rd and Grand Junction Rd is closed! New road out north was a delight once I got there though!

No. Most people on JobKeepers won't be working at all. Some will.
Any pub workers (that work for anyone except for ALH!) are entitled to the full $1500pf for doing nothing.
I just rang her instead and she was about to get in her car to go to work to fill out the necessary paperwork for JobKeeper as her workplace have been approved for it.

A far cry from what she was earning but it's pleasing to see my little girl's spirits lifted again.

Ever since her split up her loves are her work and going to the gym, now she can't do either and is living like a hermit.
That's good news! :D

Today was meant to be our final day in the country before a 6 week holiday of a lifetime.

Has been so tough watching the daughters so disappointed, heart absolutely breaks for them.

Have tried to make the best of the situation by putting even more value on family time (in saying that we use our time pretty well to be honest)

Who knows what the future now holds, I’m a big believer in things happen for a reason and the sliding doors theory of one bloke eats a bat my world changes. Don’t know what the plan is from here but we are all determined that our life is only improved because of this.
Yeah missus was due back from OS in 2 days time. Feel more for her brother who had to put his wedding off.
Good news is we already have enough money saved for a much bigger trip next year, might even make a side trip to the UK on top of Austria/Germany/Scandanavia to catch up with the missus rellies she missed out on seeing.
Bad news is I'll probalby go to the UK where I never really wanted to go. :?

Strike me pink!

The VFL 2020 season has been cancelled with all 18 AFL clubs agreeing on cost cutting so there's no way the Crows or Power would participate in a SANFL this year.
Sets up perfectly for a 14 round minor round this year with 21 next year onwards preferably.

I'd like to ad to that RIG, love your posts, they're a must read and I'm amazed at how good your memory is.
The insight you bring that most historical writings don't is invaluable.

Downloaded it straight away ,my only concern is it wants to use bluetooth which I always have turned off (unless using headphones) because of battery issues.

Does anyone here have any recommendations for a glazier in the southern suburbs?

Cheers

I used http://www.glenelg-glass.com.au/ once and they were top notch, great price and service and just a decent torp from Glenelg Oval.

I found nothing better around the southern suburbs at the time.

I'm thinking the death penalty might be a bit light here.

My post about spouse’s income was about job seeker not job keeper.
Job seeker payment is still reliant on spouses income isn’t it?
Yes, I explained that.

Edit: Apologies amber and Jim, too many Friday beers and confusion between Job Keepers and Job Seekers!
Amber's right, unlike Job Keepers the Job Seekers has a lot of other things dependent on it like asset and income tests (its basically the old Newstart Allowance aka Unemployment Benefit). And no, most of the 2 million aren't eligible for it or anything else due to various reasons.

smac wrote:AFL have announced no AFL listed player will play State League footy this year so that would officially end any thoughts of Crows/Port in SANFL.

Heartbreaking.

At least one piece of great news has come out of this mess.

They're eligible, you just have to be employed/paid by someone any amount and to have been on the books for the last 12 months. Noone's pulling a shonky.
For eg my son has a full time casual job at SAJC but didn't get anything from them but gets $1500pf gross from Adeladie Oval despite not having done a days work there in 4 months because he's been employed there casually more than 12 months occasionally doing 3-5 hours a week.
I get nothing despite being employed almost full time casual for the last 2.5 years but if I'd kept my job at Adelaide Oval working once every 6 months I would have got the full $1500pf.
Its ridiculous.
Add to that if I'd stayed with the Entertainment Centre I wouldn't have got a cent either (government owned).

Don't blame the people that get it or the businesses using it, blame the ridiculous implemenation of it by an incompetent government. A great idea but an absolute dog's breakfast as far as eligibility goes.

And from Friday June 5, all pubs across the state will be permitted to open.

Hope my boss doesn't get annoyed if I ask for the 5th and 6th off so I can go and frequent pubs myself! :lol:

and then turn up to do your drinking at your work anyway :lol:

Not allowed, I wouldn't have a job to go back to if I did that!

The gyms closed?

Are Oppo RenoZ phones any good? Still haven't changed my phone over. $15 a month with Optus seems too cheap to be real.
It's not their flagship phone, its their budget version so you'll be getting a downgraded camera/processor/etc. No 5G connectivity too.
I had an Oppo a couple of phones ago and it was one of the best phones I've had (but I had the flagship model).

I find it baffling that some ignorants in the media are discussing the credibility of this year's flag.
No matches relying on how many injuries an AFL club has.
It will be the most credible flag since 1990!!
