The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

There's no way in hell you'd wanna visit my state.

Harsh. I find Perth very livable compared to the other capitals. Though it is off the track for tourists.

EspaDa is a tourist dummy, hence my comment.

I fucking love W.A. but I have no idea why a tourist would visit here. The rest of Australia can lick my balls, but that's where all the touristy shit is.

The one thing about me you don't know is that I like nonstandard stuff . I don't usually go where others do. So make your bed for me and see ya shortly!

 

[CiG]

lmfao.

Okay so why here? Specifically what interests you?

I don't know really; I've just loved the name since early childhood when I saw it on a weather forecast channel and it has stuck with me over the years. I believe it's cool but I have no idea as to its monuments, landmarks & places worth visiting.

There's also a Perth in Scotland just fyi.

I assumed that's what you meant but your phrasing suggested possibly a more general dislike of the place.

 

[CiG]

Fuck no.

Lol please, don't insult me, I know my geography, perhaps much better than non-Europeans .

There's also this football club Perth Glory which is kind of popular outside of Australia.

Mate they're not even popular inside Australia

Dunno about Australia, but they've become kind of known courtesy of Daniel Sturridge's arrival.

I don't follow the sport at all, kinda surprised you even knew the team, but they are small fry here. Less than 10k members - as a comparison there are 2 australian rules football teams in the city with combined 150k members.

You'd struggle to find a pub showing a soccer/football game.

AFL is gay these days and not in the good way.

Soccer is absolute faggotry though.

It's called football. You're not even American, mate...

Yeah, agree, mostly. I don't really buy into the 'game's gone soft' argument but I definitely don't enjoy watching it as much as I used to. In contrast I find NRL has improved a lot, never used to like it but it is a relentlessly fast game these days and I can happily watch a game now and then.

Nah it's soccer.

 

[challenge_everything]

New It's absolutely gone soft.

Have you played? I played until about 5 years ago and I have an xray record the size of War and Peace, not to mention a few concussions. At elite level the game is faster than ever and collisions happen 360deg and at speed. All sports are moving to better protect head injuries so nothing unique about AFL there.

 

[CiG]

Well yeah, all sports are getting softer in general. The NBA has players that flop harder than soccer players these days. Across the board the umpires/refs have become fags and the rules on hard contact have become more and more strong. Just the nature of things.

But no I haven't played footie since I was like 17. Rulings on high contact is the most obvious change since the early 00's though.

 

[EspaDa]

There are still hard-playing guys in football, e.g. Arturo Vidal and Pepe. They are no Gattusos or Nigel de Jongs, though.
