Which is exactly where your argument falls down.

Actually ... I don't like watching (On TV especially) any game that involves men playing with balls. From Lawn bowls to golf to snooker to cricket.

PLAYING them myself however ... different story.

It's like watching porn. Doing it yourself is MUCH more fun.

Do you follow AFL?

**keekwai** · 26th September 2012 13:02

I'm a Sydneysider. So no. But I find watching Rugby equally as boring. I do like to play in a game myself though.

I just find being a spectator boring. So shoot me!

So you would follow the NRL then?

Too old to play games now. Living it vicariously is better for my old bones. I guess you have to have grown up with Aussie rules to really get it.
Still enjoy union and league.

^^ Paul Kelly is great - leaps and bounds before the start was great - much better than the shite band on t 1/2 time.

Cracking match - glad Syddey got up.

The Wobblies have always been over rated...except when they used RWC profits to buy leaguies when the NRL was poor after the Super League war...now everything is back to normal

I think stupid is evenly distributed throughout the world. It's unfair to attach a reputation for stupidity to just one country.
Doesn't stop people from doing it though.

That's a good question. I haven't been in Oz for 5 years. They were talking about bulldozing the entire Eveleigh Street area and moving the abbos ... somewhere else. Redfern was supposed to become a new trendy "Paddington" like place.

What's the progress?

I'm sure you've asked that before ... somewhere, sometime.
