WGMG: Roar fans who lack class.

WGMG: Working on ANZAC Day. Yeah sure, money's going to be beautiful, but I was hoping to spend the day with the missus.

So all of em.

nah, people like Scouse, Zimbos, Clockwork Orange aren't bad, probably a few others. Those who have done nothing but heap shit on Perth after winning are pissing me off. Some of them aren't even Roar fans as well. It's funny how they expected us to come out and dominate Brisbane 1-0 up away from home :lol:

Probably would've been worse if Brisbane had lost tbh. All the Melbourne fap threads would've crashed the forum.

Australian and New Zealand political leaders say a Kiwi journalist's description of Australian World War I soldiers as "lazy bludgers and thieves" is disrespectful to the soldiers of both countries.

Jock Anderson made the comments during a Radio New Zealand panel discussion last week about a new book by former Australian Army officer and Department of Veterans Affairs historian Graham Wilson.

In Bully Beef and Balderdash, Mr Wilson questions myths surrounding Australia's WWI and WWII volunteer forces, including the legend of the bushmen who transformed into natural warriors on the battlefield.

"Occasionally, they've actually been quite good soldiers, but there was no way that they can hold a candle, in my opinion, to the Kiwis."

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said Mr Anderson's comments were a black mark on the Anzac spirit, just days out from commemorations on Wednesday.

"While I have enormous respect for the New Zealand forces and support one point that (Anderson) put forward, which is that our forces have and continue to be magnificent in the work that they carry out, denigrating the Australians as part of that analysis I don't think is appropriate," Mr Key said.

He had seen the Australian forces during visits to Afghanistan and Gallipoli, and said they did a good job.

"The spirit of the Anzac tradition is alive and well. That was a tradition forged on the battlegrounds in Gallipoli, and to take away from their efforts I personally find quite offensive," Mr Key said.

Australian Defence Minister Stephen Smith said Mr Anderson would come to regret his comments.

Mr Smith told reporters at Leeuwin Barracks in Fremantle on Monday that the comments were "disrespectful" to those who fought for both sides of the Tasman.

"Anyone who has been to Gallipoli, who has been to the New Zealand monument at the top of the hill, who understands the contribution that our Kiwi brothers and sisters made in Gallipoli alone - let alone other conflicts, including and up to Afghanistan - would dismiss those comments with the disrespect they deserve."

WAGMG: A group member being a cockhead and adjusting a tripod when surveying, meaning our results are too far out and we have to repeat the practical. That's 3.5 hours we wasted the first time and another 2.5 probably on friday to fix it up. It also means that it reduces the time we've got to complete the practical by almost 2 weeks. Added to the fact that so much other stuff is coming up to be due. I wish I could punch his lights out atm.

WGMG: AF. You can't win with that lot.

If it makes you feel any better, i only have one, on Monday the 4th.

2nd year, mate? What uni are you at?

Speaking of group work...

We had an assignment due in today, just me and one other guy. A mature age student. You're cringing already, aren't you?

I'd put together all the powerpoint and the entire summary. All he had to do was put in his references in APA formatting. He fucked it all up so bad I had to re-do all of his references, fix every single one of his numerous spelling mistakes and organise all his crap for him. He couldn't type faster than 5 words per minute so I had to do all that for him too. He may as well have just sat in the corner and done fuck all.

Uni group work is ridiculous. Quite frankly I'm surprised we've never had an American style mass-shooting because of it.

The bottom line is, even if you're friends with people in the group, don't trust anyone. Do your part, but stay up a little later at night and do everyone else's, just in case the worst case scenario decides to occur.

WGMG: So im sitting on my PC minding my own business, I start to stare out of my window thats right infront of me and out of no where a fuckin bird just flies into it head on. Scared the shit out of me.
