The 2012/13 Off Season Thread

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I'm ashamed to read articles from so-called "professionals" who cannot seem to use the correct homonym in their articles whilst trying to proclaim a point. FFS - the word he was looking for is "dual", and not "duel".

I know it's off topic, but it really irks me. Simple, uneducated errors such as that, coming from a reputable, professional publication, are inexcusable.

I doubt anyone was misled by the error...it hardly impedes communication (as some loose grammar does). It is now 'dual' in the online versions, but I checked yesterday's hard copy and he (or the sub) used 'duel', as you suggest.

They say that a narcissist needs to have he final say on everything.

The error is not a big deal, I suppose - bit it really bugs me!

The point is, if you're going to portray yourself as being better than others you need to be beyond reproach.

Otherwise just sling criticism without the pretense of any highground. Hadley manages it.

I agree.

It pisses me off. If only you could see how f**king cranky I am now! I can't stand spelling mistakes.

Did anyone notice in the Hindy poster from the telegraph the other week where all the eels players said something about hindy - well look at what Willie tonga said:

Easily in the top 20 maybe top 10 best back rowers I've played along side with

What is tonga on... Surely he is joking around

Yeah, i saw that. He has to be taking the piss.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe we (or Tonga) are getting confused with whether he is talking about Hindy at his best or Hindy this year?

At his best Nathan Hindmarsh was the best forward in the world. This year he wasn't even the best at our club.

 

[Gronk]

That YouTube video pissed a few off today.

 

[bartman]

That video was a bigger troll than the one on Robbie or Charlotte.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

What YouTube video?

 

[bartman]

Flick on the TV and catch ABC news in a few mins ME...

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Ok just put it on. Have I missed anything yet?

[strider]

[strider]

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I think they mean that movie trailer made by the (apparent) Israeli-American that has slightly annoyed some of our Islamic friends.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I had to supervise my boys in the bath. I missed it all.
