After you've retold the story about when you injured yourself around this time of the year on a barbie.

Did you cry like this guy?

My father in law swapped-out an empty gas bottle for the BBQ on Christmas day and didn't close the valve properly on the 'empty' one.

It still had enough gas in it to fill the pergola up with gas without him realising, and when he went to re-light the BBQ the spark burnt it all off and nearly killed him. Was like a big explosion.

They said he was lucky he wore glasses to protest his eyes, lucky that he instinctively turned away from the explosion and didn't inhale the flames down his throat, and also lucky that he had the presence of mind to get straight in to the shower, although he did walk past two other showers to get to his ensuite shower haha.


Got airlifted in a helicopter that landed in the park next to their house and rushed to Royal North Shore in Sydney.

All on Christmas morning.

We laughed about it in hindsight because he was fine in the end, but it was bloody traumatising on the day let me tell you.
I'm glad nobody was seriously injured pal.
Thanks for taking the time to explain in full.

It's a lazy Sunday morning here, i'm on my second coffee.... any more questions?


And Steve Smith embarrassed himself with the Monty Panesar thing.

He did his time, but he will never be at a point where he's allowed to make light of the situation.

When he said what he said, i said to my mates - If i was Monty Panesar i'd be saying "Yeah maybe im not the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least im not a fucking cheat"

And guess what.... that's exactly what he said.


They say we are all on the spectrum somewhere, but Steve Smith is definitely on the most fucked up bit. He's a strange strange cat.


Pat Cummins on the other hand has become probably my second-favourite player/ captain ever behind Steve Waugh. A truly great Australian.

Yeah i've seen every game, and i had started to form a pretty concrete opinion on what i thought of Farke and his perceived (by me anyway) lack of proper leadership, and his stubbornness, but the last few games have put me in my place a bit tbh, so i'm full of hope again now.


I just thought the players started to look really flat, and i thought they'd be starting to turn on Farke a bit tbh because he's not exactly an alpha male with his shitty double combover, sloppy rig, and ridiculous accent, but they really fought for him these last few weeks so hopefully i was wrong and this new formation will unlock whatever potential is in them and they'll keep snagging a few results.

Aye pretty much mirrors my thoughts this season. Cant quite believe the turnaround in the last 2 and a half games.

Problem is it would be so fuckin typical of us to not show up tomorrow.

Young & dumb mate :lol:

Took me a while before i realised the reason i was getting smashed all the time is because there's more drink in a pint than a schooner :lol:


I think we were doing shots or something in Darlo?


I don't really remember getting home, either, but i do remember sat on bench on a train platform later at night and just spewing on the ground between my legs, then changing seats and just leaving it there like a cow pat.

That would have been around 2012, i think.

I was once at a urinal, pretty far gone. Threw up whilst pissing but forced my mouth shut out of embarrassment. Sprayed out of each side of my mouth, onto blokes pissing next to me, and rest went down my windpipe. Had to have Heimlich manoeuvre.

From then on, if I need to throw up, wherever it may be, I just go for it.
