The 2013/2014 Off Season Thread

[Suitman]

Here I am complaining about the media bias against football in this country, while watching the BBC news and finding out that 1000 people may have died in just one town during the hurricane in The Philippines. Just one town. The toll will be in the thousands.

I pray for their well being, and their families, that they maybe able to battle through this tragedy.

Well said Suity.

My grandfather always used to say that a man should think about his own mortality at least once a day.

Serious Q: My son will be 15 around March next year and has asked if he can go to Soundwave with a mate. Thoughts ? Would you let your 15yo dive headfirst into the debauchery that is an all day metal/alternative festival ?

His mate knows people or something. I've been to a few BDO prior to say 2002 and don't want him to get up to what I did basically. :shock:

Metal is the reason music was invented tbh. Earlier musicians were just trying to figure out how to play metal.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I would say no, Gronk.

 

[Avenger]

Gronk - Take it from me. No!!!!

 

[T.S Quint]

Depends on what your boy is like and what his mates are like.
Are they trustworthy?

When I was that age I could have been let go to something like that and not gotten into any trouble at all.
My brother on the other hand would have gotten up to so much shit. So he wasn't allowed to go to things that I was.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

You should let him go Gronk. He'll never have a better opportunity to try such a wide variety of ElephantJuice. Do you really want to deny him of that?

If you're that concerned, keep him at home.

On Sunday I've got my eldest child's holy communion. They just grow up too fast.

Did that mid this year. Did both kids - Yr 4 and 5. Killed two birds with one stone.

There's your answer, Gronk. Tell him he can go if he gets confirmed in the morning.....should have time to go through all the rigmarole if he enrols now.

Personally, I'd be more worried by sending him to the confirmation classes....but to each their own.

Father Bob would probably be up for some metal. Get him to chaperone.

 

[phantom eel]

I reckon go with him, Gronk. Not "with him" in an embarrassing way, but maybe get hold of a ticket as well and just be at the festival somewhere, in case he (or you) needs to check in at any point during it all?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ring ring...

Hello?

Son it's me.

Hey Dad, what's up?

Son I've met some really cool people but they've just started thinking some weird shit about me. I don't want to be here any more.

Dad, where are you?

I'm.. down the front.. or next to a fence. I was talking to a policeman earlier but now I can't see him anywhere...

Click.

If Slim Dusty or Chad Morgan were figuring out how to play metal then they were pretty f**king wide of the mark.
