Boo!

I like League as well. But I have to say union has improved immensely as a spectacle.

 

[veebass]

Perfect. drool



Yeah, it actually disappears when I use 'active' on passive basses - at any volume. Wrote GK about it already.

Another avenue, if you have any trouble getting it sorted, is to post the issue in the amps section of TB. I understand Gallien keeps an eye on the forum and intervenes at times, if there is a problem.

A polarity check in your good-to-watch wiring required methinks ... or I'll have to send Dan Carter around to sort you out.

 

[kat888]

...although to be fair, given the state of the Wannabees etc, you probably have a point.

Ha Ha! I was referring to what Union used be like when I played it.

@Gaolee 'union rules rugby' - never heard it referred to as that. in the states and territories where they are traditionally played here (NSW, QLD and ACT) they are referred to as 'union' and 'league' ... and then annoyingly the rest of the country calls them both 'rugby'. Then again, the game they play out there in the forbidden zone (VIC, SA, WA, TAS and NT) is truly unwatchable.

I agree with you there. And they don't have enough player bad behaviour incidents....oh wait there, yes they do.

Yes, you see clips of onfield violence on the news and the question is why the hell were they not arrested for assault, cos if it were you or me, we'd be in court.

Yes, always amazed me that they assault each other in front of cameras.
I was actually talking about the off field behaviour, though. Generally they manage to not get prosecuted for stuff that would land us in court.

You probably call soccer by some other name, too. Us barbarians have our regional ways, y'know. I have heard it called union rules and rugby union. Or just rugby, because we play American football instead of rugby league. It all makes for sore places.

 

[Gaolee]

And then there's Aussie rules football where you get a point for attempted murder and more points for successful murder. That's a game I could never quite fathom.

True fact: I experience severe distress to the point of physical pain when I see the 's'-word. Please stop it. It's football, fútbol, fotball, Fußball, fótbolta, футбол, voetbal, futebol etc.

Sorry for the interruption to the Football blog but I just had to share the sound of this guy's Thunderbird. To friggin' stab, shoot and kill for!.drool

And no offside rule, but knock ons are allowed

It is soccer to most here though. Even the National team is the Socceroos

Thats the only sport where you can jump through the air and karate kick a guy in the chest during play, plus the goal judges are always dressed in tidy white suits.. Seriously though, I thought rugby was brutal until I saw Aussie Football.

Drill out, dowels and wood glue, flush cut and re-drill... not real sophisticated, but a careful job and not for a dabbler- well not on your nice 'Bird, anyway!
A little bread, a nice job. Looking good.

Hey, if I had this prob I'd definitely try toothpicks as I've done that plenty of times with strap pins. If that didn't work I'd probably try locktite then after that, drill a hole through the bottom of the insert and screw the damn thing in.

 

[BklynKen]

I learned to really appreciate soccer/football while living in Brazil, but my favorite team to watch is the US national women's team. They're so good.

There's no accounting for i****y...

I can remember many many years ago after playing ice hockey I was chatting with a buddy from down under and I asked him what Rugby was all about. He replied, "It's just like playing Ice Hockey in a high security prison compound with a couple dozen convicted murderers, except you do it in your underwear without the sharp weapons and clubs while the referees look the other way". After watching a few games on TV I think he about hit it spot on.
