Since when are we not allowed to talk about stuff you don't care about. Take the elitism somewhere else.

WGMG: Bad case of Strep throat. Every swallow is so goddamn painful. Been like this for almost a week. So shit.

...since when does FFT = the council?

That's probably because you're kiwi...and a chick.

What was the question?

The council.

WGMG: When no one in AF will answer my question!

Who cares where the boundaries of the shire are?

In my opinion your still in the shire when your in Helensburgh, Otford or even Stanwell Park (though a lot people who live there would probably fiercely protest) due to most people in these areas going to schools and later a lot of them being employed within the shire.

:lol: Of course it's still the shire. You're still in the shire till you go over the Alfords Pt Bridge imo.

I've been told by some "shire elitists" from around the Gymea, Kirawee area that they don't regard anything west of the Woronora river or South of Sutherland as the Shire, as south of Sutherland's too far away.

You just described every major shopping centre from Bankstown to about Blacktown:lol:

I used to live right next to Bankstown. Bankstown Westfield is probably worse than Miranda tbh. So many pricks with their rat tails and shorts. Always wearing Henley.

This reminds me of the old "60% of americans have never seen the ocean". That's just fucking sad. Why would you not want to get out and see all the world has to offer? Cretins.

Bankstown and shire in the same sentence :lol:

It's not too bad for me too though admittedly. I'm on the complete other side, in Illawong, which is very close to the Bankstown Shire. Some people don't think Menai, Illawong, Alfords Point and Bangor should be counted as part of the Shire because we're over the other side of the Woronora bridge. Fine by me :lol: But the Bankstown shire doesn't want us either, so we're kind of stuck in the middle...

I don't intend to leave the Shire if I don't have to but I live in partial isolation to the isolation induced Shire patriotism living at Waterfall. I wouldn't live north of Engadine though in the shire. I know people that before they left school had never been south of Bulli or North of Sydney harbour and those extremes were because of school excursions.

I'd say being a hobbit, yeah.

Giving birth to a hobit?

I know plenty of people from the Shire: my grandfather was born in a boat shed on the Georges River in Como in '31 - how much more Shire can you get? I also know quite a few great guys from the Shire, but it's the girls that shit me. Straight out of school, Georges River High was the centre of the world and their little leather jacket will keep them safe in the Big Bad Gong. Seriously, Wollongong SHITS all over Sutherland: more multicultural, cultured, industrious, beautiful and not-wog-bashing than the Shire could ever hope to be.

:lol:

I think some people fall into the trap of thinking Northies, Fusion, Vinyl Room and Hunters are the Hugo's, Ivy, Golden Chief and Beresford of the Shire. Step over the bridge little blind one and see that there are things greater than you have ever imagined over there...

Like people who speak to you without dropping which suburb they live in into every conversation... unless you meet somebody from the northern beaches which is like de ja vu.

Where can I get me one of those?

:lol:

"Dear Sir,

My name is Owusu Mulumbu from the National Bank of Nigeria..."

Hmmm people talking about AF topics in ET for some sanity???

WGMG: Waiting on an email that could change my life.

It's so true. People at my school are saying they never intend to leave the Shire. Lol wut, I can't wait to get out.

I don't understand their move with that one. Why don't they just cut to the chase and rename the team the Knights?

WGMG: No longer Gold. I will wear my original shirts and scarves in protest of that rubbish set of colours

The bends can do that to...That's far more fun.

Relax thats perfectly normal... if you have meningitis.

From the Aural Canal?

WGMG: My ear is bleeding for some reason.

lol
