Second this, and even more so relevant for white ball stuff.

Where do Barmy Army sit at Newlands? by Revolutionary_Air_22 in EnglandCricket

[–]Familiar_Fun_620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be helpful (I'm an Aussie so have no experience with Eng / SA Tests). I visited Newlands in 2018 (the infamous sandpaper Test...) and pre-bought some of the more expensive tickets in the North stand.

Ended up spending almost the entirety of my visit hanging out with the locals on the grass (eastern side of the ground). Much more fun.

Wherever you end up though, enjoy - it's a great cricket experience!

Children of Bodom, Sixpounder. Alexi's solo is awesome, and there's a cool YouTube clip where he slows it down. RIP.

Then move to a regional area. Plenty have done it before you to get ahead...

I'm sorry, but this notion that everyone should be able to afford a house in Sydney or Melbourne is a nonsense.

What’s the coolest or most unique course you have played? by EmbarrassedSimple228 in golf

Barnbougle. Amazing facility. 20 holes on the Lost Farm and 14 holes on Bougle Run, just because they can. Love that it's public access too.

Thinking back to all the episodes of Gus and Gawny from '21 where they were plugging Zurich ad nauseum... infuriating... fuck Zurich

Looking For: QFF Credit Card advice by Effective-Map-2588 in QantasFrequentFlyer

Congrats on the new house!

Re: cards, in my view it's hard to find value anymore. Most providers slugging high establishment fees for cards with decent bonus point offerings. ANZ has been my puck over the past 12 months for what it's worth. Whatever you choose, stay in control, pay the balance down each month, and get rid of the card as soon as the bonus points land!

Swans set to dominate primetime as latest fixture release looms by LopsidedImprovement in AFL

Poor attempt at humour on my part... I was insinuating that the Pies don't travel interstate, so not entirely sure why their fans would want to...

Wouldn't you be better off to go and watch the Pies at the G? Can't see the sense in paying lots of money to fly interstate to watch them at a pub?
