The totally off-topic thread

[TheRealTMA]

Probably needs a ‘credit card chastity belt’ instead.

Yes I was tempted to say that but I knew someone else would jump in.

I saw a $2.5K+ invoice on his desk yesterday, another thing he "needed".
...

And I struggle to justify spending $250 on something I "need"

Good to see the Australia middle order in total control at Port Elizabeth.

How very sporting of the South African officials, JohnK. Obviously our cricketers are at fault for tempting them.

Brioche hot dog rolls sounds good but in reality, stick to normal bread rolls.

I thought it was the crowd not officials. Sadly for her the past is coming back to haunt. I can’t see it letting up. They aren’t doing anything wrong, just provocative. And that isn’t illegal.

 

[Denali]

Why the Sonny Bill masks?

 

[TomVexille]

Supposedly she and SBW were "caught" in a public toilet years ago...

 

[Denali]

Oh, I remember now. Some freak creeper took photos.

Nothing wrong with someone enjoying a healthy sex life, when youre young and stupid. Public toilets, NOT ideal but thats the joy of being young and dumb, you sometimes do really dumb things.

So they cough shame the wife to get a reaction out of the husband?

 

[Denali]

Hahahahaha friend went to Hunter Valley because she thought she was seeing Ed Sheeran on the Green, she just found its James Blunt.

Me: Didnt you look it up?
Her: I was looking at the wineries.

Correct, but we can call people who are publically provocative, but are not found in beach of 'rules', grubs, low life and hope they get their own medicine served back to them. I think 'karma' is an apt expression made often here.

Oh the irony!

Rabada risks two-Test ban with Smith send-off in Port Elizabeth

"Rabada stormed down the pitch in Smith's direction after the LBW dismissal, screaming in his face while making physical contact."

Didn't realise cricket now was a contact sport, and only one team going over the top? I'll also bet that he will be let off with a warning.........

 

[serfty]

I'll also bet that he will be let off with a warning.........

I doubt it, he'll likely get at least three penalty "points" and that's enough with his 5 current such points for recent prior offenses to earn a two match suspension.

I really hope that does happen, but I'm a cynic.

So if he does get suspended I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet.

Sure. Agree there and it’s not something I’d think anyone here would get involved in. But that also means there’s no room to stop it. It’s been a price for her to pay for stuff she did as a 20 something and again alcohol a common theme. Why do young women (and men of course) drink so much?

 

[Bindibuys]

My husband has several guitars, he likes to collect unusual musical instruments during our travels.
Seeing that he is an accountant by trade, it’s more likely that MY credit cards get put in the safe.
Now.... let’s go have a look at that jock strap.....

 

[VPS]

Ready to come home after six weeks in NZ and the flight from WLG delayed so will miss connection to Adelaide tonight -

 

[Bindibuys]

Well that was a waste of 10 minutes, the only thing of remote interest in the Russel Crowe auction was the Pro Hart painting, which I could put next to my David Hart piece.

Our cricketers are not nice people.

"We didn't step over the line. We came close to the line but did not step over the line."

What line? And who determines the line. It's unfortunate that someone's family wss brought into this affair but it's time the Aussie cricket team started playing cricket and stop all sledging.

Hope Rabada gets nothing. Nowhere near as bad at what Lyon did to de Villiers and Warner taunting Markram at the other end.

You can't dish it out and whinge when they dish it back. Hope South Africa scores big and Rabada a century but I'm hoping for too much.

Don't worry - you'll get there. Its a bit harder when the digits are doubled and there are 2 more zeros on the end, that transportation toys seem to attract.
