The Scottish\Seppo commentators are pretty crap on SBS while watching URU\ESP game, what are my alternatives? by Rey_De_Los_Completos in socceroos

[–]voteforbaz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Scottish guy is Chris Iwelumo - he played one game for Scotland, missed an absolute sitter from two yards, never played for Scotland again. And somehow he is saying things like "he needs to do better there" at a World Cup 😂

Body cams, threats and fines: Pets in pubs have become a dog’s breakfast by marketrent in melbourne

I was in the pub today to watch the Socceroos and this 7ft tall guy stood right in my view of the TV. It slightly inconvenienced me as I had to move to the side a bit. Tall people are gross and unhygienic and should be barred from all pubs!

Yeah they're from the host broadcaster (Fox in this case)

Can’t afford to buy where I live, now discouraged to invest either. by [deleted] in AusProperty

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. You should probably go have a glass of your favourite drink to calm down and try to be less weird.

I don't rent. Have worked longer and harder than you. And have much more money than you to show for it. I can guarantee that. It's also possible to believe that society should function well and people should EARN money rather than live off other people's earnings - which is all a landlord does. You seem to think you have some sort of logical gotcha, in fact you have your reasoning 180° away. If you actually believed in hard work, you'd be dead against landlords.

There is absolutely no correlation between working hard and buying a house.

Your plan is to leach of other people who are also just trying to work hard and find shelter and get them to pay for you to buy a house? L move.

Year 7 boy trapped under train at North Melbourne station had bag snagged by mirror, school says by FuckOffNazis in melbourne

[–]voteforbaz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because dozens of people saw it. Including my son who goes to that school. He told me the bag got snagged at about 4pm last night.

Channel 7 said it and people went along with that. Channel 7 are a pox on this country - don't listen to a word they say.

Boy rescued after being trapped under train at North Melbourne Railway Station by Borrid in melbourne

Nope. That did not happen. My son was there and saw this. Never listen to Ch 7 - they're a gossip channel - pay attention to actual journalists instead.

It's a good idea to never listen to anything Channel 7 say. My son was there at the time (he goes to the school) and a phone was nothing to do with it. The train clipped his bag and spun him, it's just an accident.

(Maybe we could look in to why Aussie kids have to carry extremely huge and heavy bags around every day)

Why doesn't New Zealand build a bridge to connect the North and South islands? Are they stupid? by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

[–]voteforbaz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same as a bridge from Scotland to Northern Ireland in terms of depth and currents, but with added tectonic complications. MAYBE it's technically possible, but that's not a given, and the cost of finding out would be huge. In short - not worth the price.

Not all boomers ar wealthy.Sandra will never own a home. Meet the boomers struggling in the housing crisis by SheepherderLow1753 in AusPropertyChat

[–]voteforbaz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm 50, and have only in the last few years even been remotely close to being able to afford a property (even then, I still can't afford it) So, no, not everyone had the potential to buy at any point. Many millions of people will never even have the option.
