Just sent son (28) a text, said… the bombers are a farce.

His reply. Why didn’t you force me as a kid to be a Hawks fan?

My reply…. It’s more fun this way!!

[Wedgie]

Me!

Check in at Port Broughton Caravan Park.
Lovely girl gives me the number for the boom gate.
Me: "What a coincidence, that's the same 6 numbers as the last 6 numbers of my phone number!"
Her: "We do that for everyone so they can remember it"

There was a tie in our work's footy tipping comp so they awarded the winner on the points margin thingy, pretty stiff IMO, I would've thought that only separated the weekly winner.

There has been a few funky rules added over the past few years so I don't bother with it anymore.

In the COVID year they introduced two joker rounds but failed to tell everyone, it was stupid as some weeks all games didn't go ahead and you some where changed on the day, I was cruising along out in front late in the season and then someone bounced past me using a joker, just not a fan full stop.

Reckon I've told this a few times in here, but I ran the footy tipping at my old work 20 years ago. The prize money every year went to 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Pretty standard stuff.
One year, three of us were tied on top, so easy to work out I split the pot three ways and we went on our merry way. The lad who came 4th got the shits cause, and I quote "I came second so should get 2nd prize money, you three should split the first place prize money". Even after explaining the "past the post" theory on place getters, he was still going on about it.

Mate, I kid you not, I was in one comp where that was paid out that way, the 3 tied first placed people shared the first placed prize money and 4th got more than them 3 as the were deemed 2nd, there were huge scenes and the shiela running in gave no f***'s whatsover

[MW]

Not only was I running it, but one of the tied for 1st place getters so no way in hell i was paying out 4th place as 2nd!

:lol:

I ran one at work where I had two mystery rounds, rounds 10 and 20. The slips were placed in a welded coffee tin and people crossed their names off of it when they put them in the slot.

Round 10 sat under my desk for 12 weeks until the week I went to tally it, it wasn't there.

I asked around frantically and ended up finding out that our janitor binned it, he had only done it a few days prior so I dragged him outside, put him on a pallet, lifted him on a forklift and made him search through the compactor for about two hours until he found it

I'm guessing you're not employed in the rocket science industry MW.

This lad...so he used to get RDOs but refused to take them. When he retired, the company offered to pay him out on them and he refused the payout.
Very strange man.

[Lightning McQueen]

gee, thats rough, he was only doing his job

He took a tin that was securely placed away from anything he needed to touch and it was clearly labeled, it sat there for 12 weeks and then he grabbed it for no reason whatsover, he wasn't in the tipping comp, it was sheer stupidity.

I asked him "Why the f*** did you decide to reach under my desk and take it after all this time" He shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know".

I did work experience with the Salisbury council.

During my week there was a union meeting to vote on getting more RDO's, I think it was gonna go from monthly to fortnightly.

I was sitting in there and everyone except for one older bloke voted yes, they asked this fella why he objects? He replied with "That's one extra day per month I have to sit with that f****** cow of a wife of mine"

Just won the footy tipping comp I was in

Was five clear then finished with 8/9 whilst my nearest rival got nine (I picked Brisbane).

Checked the final leader board last night and she got given 11 (2 bonus points for getting all nine) and another bloke who played his joker ended up getting 22 this round

Where do these rules come from?

I don't do tipping anymore...too stressful.
I placed 8th one year and 13th in another on the sportsbet app tipping and did my head in.

Exaclty, he was a bit of a seat sniffer at the best of times.

They did this at the pub a few years back. Can't remember exactly how it played out but something like 3 people shared 2nd place prizemoney so the stand alone 3rd placegetter collected more than them. Lunacy!!
