General off season footy/sport/current affairs chatter

But why should the poor bugger not be on a salary?
He didn't come up with the whole thing. He didn't take all the risks when they were starting out.
He walked into a worldwide sensation and was employed as one of the performers.

You won't get an argument from me. "Poor bugger" was more an "if only" than anything else.

 

[eels81236]

Plenty of people are on a salary and make their employers loads of money. It's standard.

I am one of those poor buggers.
Although, "loads" can be difficult to quantify. Then people will bring in shit loads. How much bigger than a load is a shit load? Is it a true reflection on the size of the shit?

 

[Suitman]

I'm going to take a dump and measure it.
I'll get back to you 81236.

lucky we are experienced here and don't take notice of the sensationalism of the press otherwise people would be jumping to conclusion and posting negative posts about an innocent person. :crazy::crazy::sarcasm::crazy::crazy:

Who's innocent? Whatcha talkin about?

I have not heard any complaints from Sam over the way he was treated, but the press and people on here seem to think he has.

Exactly!

I have to question why 50+ year old men still want to perform for children........surely handing over to the younger generation, e.g Sam, would be a better business move? Considering now 2 of them have had serious health issues........it's not about money though, as according to their MD, they don't really earn much anyways.......

 

[Haynzy]

Maybe they enjoy it and had the chance to get the band back together.

I used to always catch the Cockroaches when I could. In fact a gig that sti ks in my mind was at the pub opposite Parra Station. IIRC it was called Paradise.

Oddly tbe highlight for me was always their cover of Bombora.

Shout out to our blue & gold American cousins. Fantastic finish to an average game. Hope the Eels can take note that even with scores level and without the ball, good defence can win games. Oh and if you're going to commit a foul/penalty/illegal play, don't get caught and play out the whistle

A job as a professional slug runner?

You get paid to root whores.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

It says training provided. I wonder what the training involves.

Don't know why they'd prefer single people. Surely attached people can keep their work and private lives separate.

[eels81236]

I applied. Apparently it takes longer than 2 mins to gather the required information.

 

[eels81236]

I've just flicked on to the ABC and they have the a concert on for AUS day. I wish I hadn't. I'm watching some pelican just murder what used to be INXS.

 

[Bigfella]

If you are getting paid to pay for it, you break even so it's cool, right?

PS - Who is really the whore in this situation?

I think it must be because married blokes NEVER go to brothels so they wouldn't be believable as undercover agents.
