[muzby]

Bloody insane hailstorm whipped through here this afternoon. Golf-ball sized hailstones, wild winds, ice cold rain...

Intense!

I believe everyone else in the New England calls that "Monday".

Sub Tropical climate Bushy, get used to it

I should point out that I am still in the New England. I move to Coffs on Thursday :lol:

Pretty stoked. Got this for my birthday

Was a distinct lack of PS4 though.

 

[Misanthrope]

You were a Bears fan before you jumped on board the Storm?

Respect.

Should an ex-steelers fan be throwing stones?

plus, I'm sure those 21-22 seasons produced some classics

Has the topic of ffb fantasy comps been raised yet?

If I had to guess, it would be 5 different games of them beating Manly at North Sydney Oval.

Just make muzby + JM sit down and watch the 92 semi vs St George on repeat.

Great game, the Dragons had the Steelers easily covered all game.

 

[Red Bear]

Only 2/5 are beating Manly

Another is a game I was at (Norths v Parra in 97), one of the Bears games I saw live that stands out (along with getting f**king thumped by Newcastle in our last season, and getting thumped by St George in 96).

Also this is wrong

1997, SEMI FINAL | BEARS 24 – 14 EELS

After a torrid season the Bears head into September for what will prove to be the last time, facing an old rival, the Bears show their class, scoring four tries to three and Jason Taylor maintaining a clean kicking sheet.

Played finals in 98 as well, when Jason Taylor had his nose broken two weeks in succession, and somehow the bulldogs player (I want to say Britt, but may've been another player) avoided getting sent for a blatent cheap shot attacking the head.

Have to go into town, might check out the ABC shop and see if it is there.

Sadly, the truely classic Norths games generally involving completely f**king up in grand final qualifiers.

 

[Misanthrope]

I began the arduous task of packing today. A few observations:

- I am taking way too many card games.
- I own more novelty hats than a grown man should.
- I do not own nearly enough stuff that could be considered smart casual.

 

[afinalsin666]

Smart casual is overrated.

You're going to Uni Mis, not trying to pass the dress code of the local RSL. The fact you wear pants is an achievement for Uni on campus life.
