Schoolies was great

The last time NSW won an Origin series...

1. John Howard was Prime Minister of Australia
2. Peter Beattie was Premier of Queensland
3. George W. Bush was President of the USA
4. Tony Blair was Prime Minister of Great Britan
5. Roger Federer only had 6 Grand Slam Titles (now 16), Rafael Nadal 1 (now 10), Novak Djokovic made his Grand Slam debut in 2005.
6. Shane Warne & Glenn McGrath were still part of the Australian Cricket Team & Michael Vaughan was still full time captain of the English test side.
7. The IPL was yet to run its innagural tournament.
8. Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston were still married.
9. Powderfinger were yet to release their last two albums and have since broke up.
10. The Transformers Franchise had yet to release their first movie.
11. Myspace was more popular than Facebook & a tweet was something a bird did.
12. Children who are now starting secondary school, were still in pre-school.
13. Australia had not yet qualified for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
14. YouTube had not yet been launched.
15. Some NSW'kers could still come up with a clever jibe once in a while.


It's likely that Qld will keep winning, but this worries me a bit, given the fact that 6 consecutive Origin wins for Qld already made evolution regress by about 10000 years in NSW. Besides, I'm running out of room in my banner...

Queenslanders don't like to admit that for years NSW were the ones that were winning Origin.
Like they say ... "No one loves a Queenslander, like a Queenslander". Mainly because no one else likes them.
I may live in QLD, but I am NOT one of them.

Hahahaha

The bitterness is awesome.

Got anymore?

[TheQueenslander]

Inferiority complex anyone?

 

[Led_Halen]

Not even remotely funny

 

[Snappy]

48 In NSW English isn’t a second language

You sure about that ? Seen a dogs crowd lately ?

 

[aphelion]

Yeah, I'd argue point 48 too.

 

[Loudstrat]

Joe Hildebrand. Right wing gimp with a sense of humour that suggests he has spent too much time in in Ipswich.

 

[gUt]

I don't mind these things so this isn't sour grapes but ffs those were horrible.

That means we can't read the rest of the drivel he's spewing out. What a shame.

Too right, I live with them too. And there is only one thing worse than a 'Queensland-derrrrrr'... That is one of the turncoats who turn into one. Queensland-derrrrrs have an excuse at least, they don't know better.

 

[kiwiaus]

After Origin 1, they were going around carrying on like they had won the series. They won one game (with the help of the officials), don't they know there are three games.

Sometimes you can forget that the world is full of small minded people who hate irrationally and are utterly bigoted against things they don't like personally or places they don't actually live. Threads like this are timely reminders.

 

[Knightmare]

Hahahaha

The bitterness is awesome.

Got anymore?

Funny that, because only 2 years ago I distinctly remember the Courier Mail had an article '20 reasons why Qld is better than Sydney/ NSW'

I guess it's only bitterness when NSW does it....

Shut up you inbred merkin.


Theres another one.

 

[Knightmare]

Karl's not too bad.

He's smart enough not to fall for the "A 50k sellout is better than an 82k sellout" bullshit that some of his fellow Qlders fall for...
