Congrats VK3DRB
it takes a true blue aussie to say it straight up mate!
fwiw I had no interest in repetitive childish football games even before getting into electronics
and if dabbling in electronics has some mystic no go Force tied to it that keep me avoiding it,
then the multimeter and soldering iron stay, FOREVER!
fwiw I didn't mind footy and soccer at school and other sports stuff, but as a later teenager I got put off by the whole thing
after watching ADULTS of all ages carry on like war mongering lunatics, at every game,
and the fights/blues,
morons yelling in your ear with stinking fermenting beer/meat pie/chiko roll death breath,
foul language spiced enough to even send demons packing back to hell
dealing with greasy putrid chuck on the shoes back at home (hey, what's that smell?
)
tomato sauce stains on clothing from seats and walls,
busting for a pee and copping the state of the mens toilets, that I won't get into,
and spare the punters here reading, from utter disbelief and disgust
HOURS to get out of uncooperative idiot jammed car parks,
and the list goes on and on and on...
The nail in the coffin was seeing neanderthal parent tards at kids local footy matches being sore losers
and or bitching on their kid to rough up other kids, 'do whatever it takes to win or else..' BS
Nowadays it's an eyesore watching steroid pumped tattooed players (heroes?!) littering the field,
and avoiding any idiots talking about it, like it's all oh so Fing serious..
You'd think these idiots were related to the footy players and trophy wives/GFs,
and own shares in the footy club.. referring to it as 'my team'
No Thanks, I'd rather sledge a troublesome DUT that's too big and heavy to dropkick into the dumpster
