Rd 9: Live Game Day Thread - Eels v Sharks, Saturday 05 May

[Gazzamatta]

Last night Merrin finger compound fracture in the warm up. God forbid it happens tonight but what would Parra do in this circumstance? Play 1 short?

So people like my Dad who has little education and only operates in cash. Never owned a bank card is a f**kwit and f**k him. He has no right to enjoy a beer at a game of footy cause he holds the line up. Forget his 50yrs of working hard in this country. He is slowing Bazal down, f**k him.

What was it you said? "Hit a nerve"? Lol.

My 89 year old grandmother has, and operates proficiently, an iPad.

Tap the f**king machine, buy your old man a beer you stingy merkin.

How do you mean?

You've got 19 players at the ground, and exemptions are available for that kind of injury.

Simple - Just make a beer $5

It's still going to take them longer to give change from a blue swimmer.

There's no cure for stupid.

Craft beer and cider festival down here, you buy tokens at specific tents. $1 per token, 1 token gets a 75ml tasting, 2 gets you 150ml. Great way to do it with 250+ beers and ciders, you spend 50 bucks, taste 25-50 beers and get a lovely buzz.

So many people going up to tents with a fifty and asking for schooners...

Once I tried paying for my fuel with a $100 bill. He refused. Yet my fuel come to $65. Said to big, we argued for 30 seconds and then I ended up getting my fuel for free...

Well that's a win. You can't refuse legal tender unless it's too many coins, shoulda chinned him

Depends, some times cards play up. At best its still 5 seconds with card. I am sure if had a heap of $5 notes it would be quick enough.

 

[hindy111]

Why not just have 2 lines.....

Cards and cashless?

Because cash services cost money, and it doesn't depend on the amount delivered. Armaguard or Prosegur or whatever just charge you whatever it is to come out and deliver and then collect the cash.

Much more cost effective and efficient to go cashless.

And sorry Baz for giving you a hard time. When I was 11yld catching the bus each morning two teenage boys used to put on a gay voice and call me Baz or Bazal. It scarred me deeply.

Cash = No tax

What beer costs $5.00?

Funny, that's exactly how I got my nickname...

Tough one tonight...Sharks are a decent team and hard to beat at home. If we get the points in this one then we are back on track for an at least competitive season.

 

[Kornstar]

Sooo much faster, though.

Well, it is when everyone is on the same page. I can see f**kwits who are stuck in the 70s kicking up a stink for ages to come yet

I just simply don't like carrying cash, there should be absolutely no reason to carry it these days.

Every time i see "cash only" i instantly know it is for tax avoidance.........and i refuse to spend any money there.

We are going to have digital driving licences soon and people will still only be accepting cash!

Yeah I got in the habit of carrying limited cash.

Not sure what it is, but I spend more when I have cash. I guess I figure it's just a fiver, but if I have to use the card I think about it more. Plenty of people say the opposite so I suppose I'm a weird dude lol

 

[Kornstar]

I don't think we will win (surprise, surprise i know) but honestly i just don't know which team will turn up on either side tonight.

Nope, i feel the same, well my wife is the problem. If she has cash on her it is gone in no time. She is slightly better with cards.

Sharks are the ultimate spoilers.

It'll be ugly, which favours them, but might not hurt us if we can get a little bit of flair happening because they can struggle to catch up on the scoreboard at times.
