The 2014/15 Off Season Thread

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Have you been hitting the Cognac a bit early today Barry?

Nah, but I have had food poisoning since late Sunday......

Those who are Kiss fans will know where my apparently random posts come from.

The Kiss ones I didn't know. Got the South Park one tho.

Food poisoning's a bugger - maybe you should be on a liquid diet. ;-)

the Kiss ones are in the Detroit thread.

Yeh, had lunch as some place with 'slow roasted' suckling pig, which was very nice, but I suspect not properly re-heated. I decided to avoid alcohol through the worst of it, but might try a glass of wine with dinner.

Mmmm. That pig sounds bloody nice. But given the consequences, I might stick to the steak and kidney pie for tonight. Get better mate.

Can anyone recommend a decent (by which I mean about $100) coffee pod machine? My one that took the Woolies pods just broke and I'm not sure if I should stick with that type or go the Nespresso ones or even something else.

Does it have to be a pod machine?

Depending on the flexibility of your tastes, an Aeropress and hand grinder can be had for about $100ish, or just a Moka pot and hand grinder and you'll get a lot better coffee. If you don't care about the taste of the coffee, please disregard.

I had two Woolies ones both had short lives. Got a Nespresso,dearer but worth it. Cheers

I think probably yes. Pod is the best compromise as I don't really have a lot of time in the morning and just want to press a button. I agree they're not the best tho.

Thanks. That's kinda what I suspected - mine was never great from the start. I'll have a look at some of them.

Ahh...I didn't realise that today's one was a different quiz. I too did ok on the first, but the second one is obviously about 5 years before my time. There's a few players like Terry Randall and Fitzy that I know, but many don't ring a bell.

16/20 for the first one.
10/20 for the second one

I didn't live in Sydney between '75 and '78 so not too bad (no RL in Victoria in the '70's)

16/20 for the first one.

17 for the first one
12 for the second

I've still got all of my footy cards from when I was a kid. I've only got about 10 from that second lot though.
I reckon I'd clean up on an 80s quiz like that.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

11/20 and 4/20. Next step, Mastermind.

To just focus on why I was inAfghanistan and ignore the crimes committed against us in Guantanamo, seems to be a diversionary tactic to try to prevent people from asking more pressing questions around my case ...

Yes David, what happened to you in GB was horrific and people need to be held accountable. Now what was the reason you were in Kashmir, Afghanistan & Kosovo again ?

15/20 for the first one

The second one was hard. A lot of nuffies that I didn't remember or hadn't heard of.

He also stated that in his artcle.
