True.

I cringe when I have to say "close to Hurstville".

"close to forest road" hahaha
yeah all its good for is a half decent library

ooh if u want decent public transport, vote iemma out asap
oh that reminds me, i gotta register with the aec

 

[SarahMary]

hey, at least ur not on a line with inconsistent stopping patterns. (only get skipped twice a day so its ok)
ooh i use east hills line
haha my station used to have an indicator board, but some idiots vandalised it, and so they got rid of it haha
ooh howd u get to uni if it doesnt stop there?

You've gotta pick your trains wisely. I'll be finished at 3, but theres no train leaving till 3:50. It's a big pain in the ass

 

[MuffinMan]

are u bosing in your tute? hahaha
umm "bus" ahahaha
its quite close right?
i hate trains cause im chrostrophobic (i dont know how to spell it), but no matter what route i take to the city, id have to go through a tunnel of some sort, except for peak hours...

 

[SarahMary]

Yeah, pretty much. I'm on myspace atm as well, pretending to type notes. The tutor isnt doing anything i havent heard before. No, no buses. Mum comes to pick me up lol.
Pretty sure its spelt claustrophobic, but i got what you meant. I'm not claustrophobic, I just dont like sitting near strange people, and to be honest there's a few of them on the trains. So since it's only 10 mins i just stand.
I don't mind tunnels so much, except for the bit where my ears start to hurt. that kinda sucks

 

[MuffinMan]

id post crap on the nrl thread when parra wins the premiership
which will be soon , so dont u worry

 

[MuffinMan]

tunnels = city via east hills & airport = tunnel
bondi junction = tunnel
city via east hills & sydnenham = no tunnel peak hours only tho
*rant*
eels are crap this year *rant*
oh wells, they'll beat the sharkies this year (ladderwise)

we were talking about the nrl...about 20 posts ago lol
i somehow got distracted

 

[SarahMary]

I'd say bugger off, the dragons will win it, but i'm not hopeful...

 

[MuffinMan]

if they put burt back into the side, we'll win

 

[SarahMary]

Thats a big claim...

 

[MuffinMan]

haha but burts awesome, awesome winger!
plus he can kick
convert
field goal
drop out
etc.
etc.
etc.
and hes better than lockyer

 

[SarahMary]

One man, does not make a team (unless you're Andrew Johns and Newcastle, lol). Personally I think Lockyer's starting to get a little bit past it, so i'll agree with you there. But Lockyer when he was on form a few years back, I don't know about that one

 

[MuffinMan]

lockyer cant convert
hahah
anyways im gonna head to my tute, so i'll ttyl (its in 15 mins)
and plus the world cup is going to be on soon
its heaps better (please dont kill me for saying that ok?)

 

[sando]

the last 2 pages are soooo boring...

I'm so glad Russel Smith (referee) got dropped after his shocking performance in tigers v manly

Funny how both coaches claimed that- 'does he know the rules ?'

 

[sando]

THE LUCK IS ABOUT TO END 4 SHARKS hahaha

Dykes faces three months on NRL sideline

Tuesday, May 9, 2006 - 5:04 PM


Cronulla five-eighth Adam Dykes will miss up to three months of rugby league with a ruptured ankle ligament.

Dykes will require surgery after he injured his ankle in the closing stages of the Sharks' NRL victory over St George Illawarra on Sunday and he won't be able to play for up to 12 weeks.

The news is a huge blow to the resurgent Sharks who had charged into the top eight on the back of three straight wins orchestrated by the veteran half.

Sharks physiotherapist Matt Green said Dykes's injury was similar to that suffered by halfback Brett Kimmorley five weeks ago.

"It is very similar to Brett's ankle injury, with the difference being Adam has completely ruptured the ligament, which means he is likely to require surgery and have a pin put in to stabilise the joint," said Green.

"After that he will be in a boot for about eight weeks before we can do any rehab on the ankle."

The surgery is likely to take place later this week.

Kimmorley is expected to return next week after resuming training on Monday.

 

[Bookie]

FUCK.

 

[copious]

uh oh does that mean Greg Bird is gonna play in the halves with Vagana? lol

 

[DRAGONZ]

Woah, that was such a waste of three minutes .. reading about trains on the NRL thread, how exciting!

@ rewster
I've supported the dragons since I knew what League was. Which growing up in my house meant about 2. I havent changed my mind in the last 18 years and I dont plan to ever. I love the dragons unconditionally. It was more of a lamentation over our inconsistency than a whinge cos we're not doing well.


So in short, I do support the one team.

Awesome, stick around here more to back me up



Regarding Dykes, it's such rotten luck. There was no need for the charge-down, the game was already won .. and he cops three months on the sidelines for being extra-committed. Sucks to be him, NSW lose another potential half .. I think it's really time for Joey to come back out of retirement, because we are FUCKED in the halves.


A few crackers this weekend:

Storm vs Cowboys .. 2nd vs 1st, what else to say?
Broncos vs Sea Eagles .. two of the form sides at the moment.
Tigers vs Knights .. pre-Benji, this was a 40 point win for Newcastle. Now, it is suddenly the match of the round, Tigers were awesome on the weekend.

Should hopefully see some close matches!

One man, does not make a team (unless you're Andrew Johns and Newcastle, lol).

You forgot about Benji Marshall and the Tigers!

 

[DRAGONZ]

You forgot about Benji Marshall and the Tigers!

Brad Fittler and the Roosters.

Mathew Head and the Dragons.

Jason Smith and the Raiders.

Nathan Hindmarsh and the Eels.

Darren Lockyer and the Broncos.

Anti-Brett Kimmorley and the Sharks.

 

[sando]

i'm trying to think of one for Souths.... i'll get back to you
