Not really. I mean there are eurosnobs who are bandwagoners yes, for example I wouldn't call someone who supports an AC Milan and doesn't support a team in Australian football a bandwagoner.

Bandwagoners who go to once a year gimmick events like all star games are ones who start mexican waves and would think Juventus is the city the team is from. Euro snobs are not.

I mean before Wanderers came along most people would have called me a euro snob, but most definitely couldn't have called me a bandwagoner.

Wouldn't have called you a e-snob as your forum name is sydneycroatia58 lol, so I could only imagine that you had supported your local.

That is unless you're a SU58 bandwagoner? :P

-PB

Uh...yeah. So I get called a Eurosnob all the time. I guess I'm a bandwagoner?

WGMG: slow nights at work. The last night before hospo pay day always sucks.

Like... whats the bloody point?

I absolutely admit to being a bandwagoner with Chelsea. I have never been to England, never met anyone from London, never met or seen a Chelsea player in the flesh and don't watch any games that are past midnight (apart from the big ones). I support Chelsea because my Dad does, and he supports them because they're not Manure. Honestly I'm not going to support or give two fucks about teams like Bolton or Bradford just so I can have a wank about how I pure a football fan I am, that's all pretentious garbage (unless you have a definite connection). I like watching good players playing good football winning football matches, the sooner euro-football oriented people accept this the better. (Not implying anyone here)

The Jerks is a different story however, it's like a tar pit supporting those bastards

I always knew you were a glory hunter ;)

Everyone is

You can support any team in any sport in the world you want. If you do not want to support the local version of said sport. Thats fine too.

BUT.... If you support overseas teams, and also actively seek arguments to shit on the local version than you are a snob.

WGMG: Trying to change my sig and no matter what I do it keeps resetting.

I think it needs to be bigger.

:lol: It keeps going way too small or way too big.

Heres 2 diff sizes that don't take up the whole page :lol: Lose a little bit of the fans but didn't want to distort image.

Cheers :lol:

I also apologise to KA and the rest of the FFT team for basically telling any West Ham fan that might happen to be on the forums to get fucked.

Just kidding :lol:

Wgmg: still waiting on aami to see if their going to repair my wife's car or write it off

WGMG: yesterday I went to the vet and had our 16year old family Chihuahua put down. I've never personally seen something or someone so close to me pass away before, so it was definately an experience. A pretty emotional time for the whole family, particularly my Mum who loved that thing nearly as much as any of her children or grandchildren. I will say though - I didn't really have expectations on how the reactions etc would be like for a lethal injection, but it did seem about as peaceful as I can imagine ending the life of something could be. It was like she didn't even notice what was happening, and just kind of fell asleep. She was more worked up about how the vet nurse was holding her neck still than anything. Though, originally Mum wanted to go to the vets with me to see it happen but judging the state of her when I picked up the dog, I told her not to as she was a wreck. I'm glad she wasn't there for it, regardless of how peaceful it was.

Ahhh that sucks man :(
When our dog was put down in 2009 we all went to the vet except my brother, who didn't want to go. Then Dad went into the actual room with our dog when the injection happened, but I went in after to see him and he just looked so peaceful. A few years down the track you look back on having a dog with awesome memories, as well as the joy of not getting crap between our toes everytime you walk into the backyard :lol:

Yeah, our dog over the last year has slowly but surely been going blind and deaf, so she genuinely believed over the last few months that she was going to the toilet outside or on a pee mat or something, when realistically she was going in the middle of the hallway :lol:

She had these lumpy growths on her side that have been growing over the last 6 months or so, and the vet said they were all fine, but over the last month they grew considerably and her belly swelled up a heap, and the vet confirmed she was internally bleeding, more than likely had developed a form of cancer (prob liver) and she was just in general starting to suffer. He said when I took her in that he would have been surprised if she saw out this week on her own, and it would have been a lot of suffering for her, so the decision to take her in was difficult but easy at the same time.

Our family had a coffee together afterwards, and it was pretty emotional. It was nice to reflect on it though. It was pretty hilarious to look back at the reason we got her in the first place. I was in primary school and we had some people come in and explain to us stranger danger, what to do and where to hide if someone broke into your house, all that stuff, and that afternoon I saw on TV an ad for an electronic security system, so I was convinced we needed a security system at home and pestered the parents for a solid few weeks until they sold me on the idea of getting a dog for security. Apparently 8 year old me was sold on the idea of a chihuahua being enough security for our house :lol:

Condolences pv4.

They are just the most amazing creatures!! I never realised how good they were til i got one. Have had mylo for just over 3 years and i dread that day. Makes me ill just thinking about it.

There is a reason that they are called mans best friend!!

Wgmg?

The attitude of australians on rainy days

The concept that australia is the friendliest place (especially to strangers) goes out the window with a drop of rain

Australians lower themselves to the Europeans with regards to this, the euros just get on with it

The aussies whinge, or assume it will stop raining in 5 minutes. Or are not 'up for anything' when it rains

On Saturday we had 50mm of rain. I was on a jack up barge in the middle of the Brisbane River trying to log the drilling of a borehole. I have every reason to whinge because Saturday was a horrendous day haha.

Its even worse in a place like Perth (WA, which stands for Whinge Awhile)

They normally assume it will stop raining, when it does rain - in 5 minutes, unfortunately that attitude has been transported across to the Pacific side of Australia

Australians should look at the way Europeans conduct themselves when it rains, they actually salivate it, rather than pretend like it never happens!](*,)

Australians just whinge a lot... That's the reality.

WGMG: being told at work by a colleague ( who is female ) that she could not climb the ladder because that is a mans job and she does not do a mans job..

don't get me wrong if someone can't physically do something i am more than willing to help or if someone physically can't do something i am again willing to help but when you are just a lazy cow then gtfo!

also to add she then reported me to upper managment and put in a formal complaint against me for not assisting her..

should be a fun week at work next week ..

What industry?

Wgmg: wife and both daughter's are sick as dogs. Wife has a bad flu , oldest has her asthma playing up and the youngest kidling can't do anything as she is too young to give medication

When you get raked over the coals by HR next week, be sure to slip in a casual reference to Fair Work Australia and reverse sexism :lol: See what happens.

WGMG: Taylor Swift trying to be a pop-star

Nothing wrong with her trying. The issue is that she appears to be succeeding.
