Not as bad as dentists.

Scratch at your teeth with the metal probe. Give them a quick clean with the electric toothbrush and some toothpaste that feels like it's got sand mixed in with it. Whole session takes about 15 minutes - "that'll be $220 please".

Merkins should wear a balaclava and carry a knife they rob you so blatantly.

Meanwhile, my rl nickname actually is Horse. A cruel ironic joke. I mean what?

"try losing a little weight"

I cop that one all the time.....apparently it's the direct cause of my sleep apnoea, along with everything else. The fact that I have lost 10 kgs doesn't seem to come into it.

Up bright and early. Three hours until my flight. Gonna devastate that in flight entertainment.

love these 3 day working weeks

 

[Dani]

2 day working week for me. Now 5 days off

Had my first bath in at least two years last night. f**k, I miss baths. Showers are good for cooling down, getting clean, and/or having a quick toss, but they've got nothing on a bath for relaxation.

Man up, pleb. :lol:

 

[Bulldog Force]

I have a cold too, although it's only minor because I had a worse one in Feb. Soothers do the trick nicely in this case

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Man up, pleb. :lol:

You would understand what I'm going through if you were a man.

so f**king pissed off!

I was badgered to write an article back in January with a short deadline. I busted my arse for hours, took time off work etc to write it in time. It was about Edward larkin, the first NSWRL full time secretary who was pivotal in fixing the RL finances and getting the game booming from 1909 onwards. He later served as a politician and as a soldier, where he died at Galipoli on April 25, 1915. His body was decimated by machine gun fire and his remains were never recovered.

The magazine decided to bump my piece for some advertising.

Then I see today that none other than that Union-loving, league-hating journo Peter Fitzsimons has written an article about him for SMH.

f**king magazine editors and their piss poor f**king timing.

Fitzsimons is a massive knob jockey but he can write a good book. His books on Kokoda and Tobruk were fantastic and his knowledge on Australians at war is second to none.
