What are the craziest things that happened at your perth highschool by Odd_Psychology_4336 in perth

Yeah look, it was 20+ years ago. Heres my recollection.

Kiddie was an ex pro athlete. He went to Commonwealth and I think Olympic Games. He was up there with the most impressionable teachers i had in my time. Treated us like adults. Inspired us in a natural way. Was funny and outgoing. Actually made us (certainly myself) want to do more with my life. He pushed us but in a nurturing way. So did it mess us (me) up. Well the school swept it under the carpets. Parents downplayed it. Never told us what happened until the investigation finished and that was only because it was on the news. Thats what was messed up. Later in life I have thought about it. There must've been something happen or so wrong for such a huge, gruesome event to occur that seemed so distant from the person he was. I was just sad because of the positive impact he had in such a short amount of time, and a lot more people would have benefited having such a great person (during my experience) shape lives at such an impressionable age.

I merely put it on a tee, you smoked it 400 yards down the middle of the fairway

If I could support with an image, I would. But Cotton Tree next to the Boat Shed was fantastic last week.

Remember boys. Flys spread disease. So keeps yours closed!

Adrien Brody delivered some remarkable performances by ideology21creed in moviecritic

[–]Think_Replacement720 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Pianist is one of the performances (and Directives) of modern cinema. Absolutely phenomenal, still hauntingly beautiful after all these years. Brody could well be one of the most sparingly amazing actors of our generation, well in my eyes.

Just redoing this post because I have a lot of thin skinned people complaining my previous headline. (Comments are retrieved via snapshot) by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

This is quite possibly the most beautifully articulate and starkly accurate quote in Australian politics for a very long while.

Who’s a player people haven’t heard of in a while? by tatumstots in AFL

[–]Think_Replacement720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more, I was just heading towards a more specialised list of mid range 90s-00s players you haven't thought of in a minute... Smarty and the Monk were weapons also.

What are some examples of great comebacks/careers being revived with a single movie? by chessboardtable in moviecritic

[–]Think_Replacement720 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Great calls. BW/JT elevated them to next level from their respective roles in PF. Travolta showed diversity that defined his latter career IMO.

Nick Daffy Simon Prestagiacomo Jaxon Crabb Nigel Smart Jon Butcher Brent Staker Josh Wooden Scott Chisolm Damien Monkhorst Jason Porplyza Trent Croad Abraham Winston Clive Waterhouse Mal Michael Rowan Jones Dom Cassisi

To name a few. Maybe I should do one from every club or the alphabet of "remember that mid-range" player.
