And another thing ...

[Scarfman]

Those bloody toilet traders from the Wallabies have raised a grand total of $160 for Movember. Well done, Softcock Crew of the Decade.

How about spending less time thinking about your hair and more time getting your game face on.

This makes me furious. Some of these kids weren't born in 1984 and I reckon the Grand Slam means more to some of us fans than them. Deans seems to have a Softcock-Only selection policy. Wallabies need steel not porn moustaches.

I could understand it if it was just the backs. But the forwards are in on it, too!

God help us. $160. :banghead

Did you hear the Scot commentator on the weekend? he said something like "you can't drop the ball if you have a moustache like that"

I raised more than that when I did it years ago. (Digression Some of the girls I know are solid believers that you shouldn't do Movember if you're not raising money, and they've swayed me onto their Dark Side. One of the girls I know believes that you just shouldn't do Movember as she doesn't like 'taches - which is good, as she inspires people to do it and raise money just to spite her.

 

[TheRiddler]

Anyone else noticed that the Wallabies are leg shavers?

Not sure what would be more worrying, that fact that they are or that you noticed

I've got absolutely no problem with the Wallabies doing Movember, and I'd wager that a few of the 1984 team had solid samples of man hair on the upper lip too.

Doing something like this on tour would be a good team bonding experience, through growing a mo this MOvember I've come to know several workmates better, including our GM and my practice lead.

There is nothing soft about growing a mo, and while the Wallabies haven't raised much cash they have raised awareness for mens health issues substantially. Prostate Cancer is a massive killer in men, and depression is seldom talked about. MOvember has raised over $60m for prostate cancer research in 6 years, a great effort imho.

The only point of Scarfies on which I agree is that $160 for the Wallabies is a piss poor effort. Alas I've raised just $40, however if a few people want to sponsor me then I could raise more for charity than the entire Wallabies team, now that would be something!

For $40 it's not exactly been worth it either, check out this dodgy tache, I really should be selling used cars, not consulting in business intelligence.

Here's my donate link if you want to sponsor the MO, all tax deductible of course: http://sl.im/3bdz

Who cares, they're girls. Grow a mo, and a pair of balls Ash. :baxter:

When I got my vasectomy ... that's always a party stopper ... When I got my vasectomy, they told me to shave the smalls. No way. Sure, you can stick a needle in there, make a small incision, pull my vas deferens out through the hole, cut it and burn it (x2), then tuck it al back in again, but I'm not taking a razor to that!

In the end I used some of that depilatory cream. And boy, did it sting. :shaking

 

[Gagger]

I would have thought your regular back, sack and crack would have covered that Scarfie?

 

[cyclopath]

Best part of not getting the shave is one can use a few pubes to close the wound and save $1.50 on sutures!

 

[Lindommer]

Well, you'd know Pedallist!

 

[cyclopath]

Well, you'd know Pedallist!

Aye, I would.
And shaving the legs aint all evil - feels SWEEEET on the bike in summer!!

 

[rugbywhisperer]

And your point is - nothin live smooooth all over

 

[Gagger]

Wow, that's very broadminded of you RW....

 

[PaarlBok]

Also tried the Movember thing. Do have some problems now, my sheepdog bitch ran away and my colleges at work gave me money for shaving blames. Telling me my beard look like a frighten dogs ball hair and like a farm ring tone, three short ones and two long ones.

Skorsie is that you on Moses photo?

 

[Scarfman]

OK - I got most of that. But why do farm telephones ring differently to city telephones Paarl?

That's our Mosebro in the photo. Lock up your very young children.

 

[Pfitzy]

Up until I was about 12, we had a manual phone exchange in our little town - had to crank the phone to get through to the post office, then ask for a connection. Our phone number was two digits and a letter!

Moses - stay out of school zones during pickup hours, or you'll get arrested son. Dead set!

 

[Moses]

Now that I've put my dodgy mug up I'm just waiting for the sponsorship $$$ to flow in!

Can I interest anyone in a second hand Falcon?

 

[PaarlBok]

Our far out farm phones used a few phones on one line. So they give every household a spesific ring. They went through the towns phone operator at the nearest town. So when you phone from the outside, you get to this towns number and give the telephonist the name and she put you through. The baddest thing about this is that farm 1 can listen to farm 3's calls. When you finish talking you give the phone a single bell, so the others know they are able to either make or recieve calls. It was that old hand slining models. I grow up with this and remember as a kid we love to take the used phones, schocking the shite out of each other.

I am not sure if they have them anymore. Not sure if you get mobile reception across the country.

The two short and three long rings was our Boer way to describe a young man's beard.

 

[Thomond78]

Let me get this straight; $160. That's about €80, or €10 a man in the pack. Three pints, give or take. And that's the best they could fucking do?

I'm sorry, but that's fucking disgracefully tight-arsed.
