Things that make you laugh

Well done Trevor Chappell .... I mean, TDK

Im only a very casual amateurs' league football follower but I had to laugh a couple of seasons ago a northern suburbs football club was playing players and using a variety of different names to play unregistered footballers.

Adelaide is far too small a place - even smaller these days with social media and technology - to try this sort of stuff in this day and age.

With the Indians and cricket, it's actually amazing how many of them have multiple ID's - they just change their names around and play under a different name.. they just love playing the game that much.

This is rife in the amateur soccer league where Ajok Deng becomes Deng Ajok and vice versa on a regular basis. Even harder to track when hundreds of players in the amateur league share the same government issued birthdates.

The new arrivals have added an amazing element to the soccer comps in SA including lifting the standard significant but the league has never been able to get control of the registration element of this. Especially with players playing federation soccer on a Saturday and then amatuers on a Sunday.

This one could just as easily go in the WTF thread.


The office/factory facility I work in, is located in Broadmeadows, Victoria. What I didn't know, was the rear of our fairly large factory, backs onto a Detention Facility - razor wire, the works.

Just heard the reception door bell ring, and as we have very little office staff here this week, I wandered out to see who was there.

2 burly security guards from the Detention Facility. They show me some security footage of a guy, scaling one of our fences last night. The guy is then picked up on another camera, throwing "parcels" over our rear fence, and into the detention facility......no doubt Ice, or some other shit.

It appear one of the packages fell short of the mark, hit a fence and rebounded into the trees at the rear of our boundary. So I escort the guys down the back to conduct a search. This is getting bloody interesting at this point...... far more so that making dies!

So the younger bloke starts smashing his way through the pretty dense under growth looking for the parcel.... I joke that the drug courier has a shit arm.

Finds the parcel, wedged, somehow between the 2 fences on the boundary of the properties.

They want to see what security footage we have, as they may be able to pick up rego plates if the guy has parked on or near our main car park.

You seriously can't make this shyte up.....

Edit - And a very odd post to bring up 10,000.

I'd have taken them down there after explaining a JSA and Hazard ID has to be conducted, and said package was retrieved

Received some emails from our new over lords over the weekend.

Seems I've been signed up for 11 Training Modules that will take about 20 hours to complete. When am I supposed to be doing that then?

During work hours of course

I think my story goes in here because it made me laugh at how unaware people are of the information people can find on the internet and what it can reveal. Also I'd like to share it with the people who may have a 'Played an unregistered player and lost points' kind of story.

In December we (North Haven Cricket Club) played our first T20 for the season. We lost convincingly to the Punjab Lions Cricket Club by 8 wickets. They were way too good for us that evening and had clearly played a fair bit of T20 cricket, we haven't.

Being the cricket nuffie and MyCricket enthusiast I am I do our scores and stats and once PLCC put their scores in I went through their scores and like I do with all the opposition we play against I try to identify who is who so I can remember them for next time if we ever play against them and also look at who is making runs and taking wickets. Because we've played against the clubs in our regular Saturday competition for an extended period of time every knows who is who so that's easy to do then with 'new' teams it takes awhile to identify their players.

When looking through the PLCC team I noticed and made note that at least two of their players had not played a match for PLCC during the regular season. During our cricket training chat the following Thursday I told my team mates that and our Secretary informed me that one of the ASCA T20 rules is-
All players must be already eligible for selection in Saturday games and preferably already have played for the club this season. Email Secretary if in doubt. No players who are dual-registered are able to play in these matches unless they had a permit to play the prior Saturday.

From there our Secretary emailed our Association President and Secretary asking how the rule works in regards to the players we played against. It took a while for them to respond as they said they were looking into it but yesterday our Secretary messaged me to say we have been awarded the win and points for that match because they played an unregistered player.

I didn't really care that we lost to them on the day and weren't really out to get them as it was just an enquiry but it's funny that the result has now been reversed. Funny in the sense that people don't realise that the internet (MyCricket in this sense and also Sporting Pulse when it comes to footy) can reveal information that can be found if people are on the ball and look hard enough.

The same thing happened to Hope Valley in the SAMCA Cup against Nepalese CA

Fracturing the same rib for a third time...……..this time off all things playing cricket.

No I didn't get hit by a bouncer, no I didn't get by a ball hit to me in the field that kicked up.

Dove to the left in gully, fielded the ball one handed and then decided to tuck the arm/elbow in to brace myself and instead fractured a rib with my own elbow. The previous two fractures from union carried a lot more prestige and coolness that's for sure.

I guess 38 years old shouldn't be diving around in the field.....I feel 21 mentally.

Yep the hair. The shaved sides. Suggest it won't last long.

Just witnessed a woman back her Landcruiser into a VW Golf at my local supermarket. Damaged the front panel & smashed the corner light. She got out to inspect the damage, looked around the car park to see if anyone saw and fled, real quick. I was parked opposite & saw (and heard) it all happen in my mirror. I get her rego & am writing a note for the poor bastard who’s car is damaged when he appears.
I give him the details, his reply was “Well, looks like that’s my first call in the morning”...
He was an off duty copper.

Under an hour before he's due to play Novak Djokovic withdraws from the Day at the Drive exhibition tournament. What a flog.
