Also our by and large our comedians, you just rock up at any random pub on 6 o’clock on the dot after Friday and you’ll find one or more that’s funnier then some working comics today (in fact some overdo it on the routine stuff and not alot of riffing).

In fact it’s so good u don’t need sauce (always sauce the pie lol). The best Burger in the world is also from around those parts. Same deal. Had it, best burger ever. Don’t know what they did but legit no lettuce fell out of it couldn’t believe it lol. Best coffee to outside of Europeans places. Some time ago wogs came here settled and the rest is history.

4. Been to a lot of countries, it’s ironic (our land is very arid in the middle), but hands down overall we have the best food in the world. Something in the water most likely (cleanest around any part of the world)

5. Also it’s a huge place, can get stinking hot and super dry, expensive as F but you get what you pay for I guess.

6. No lie or to toot the horn, but if you like a busy life or a laidback one, Australia is the best bet in either options. Which is very weird but true. Also Australians look very different to what some people think we look like. We are multicultural asf. Like a full blown Asian/Italian/whatever ethnic background looking dude or dudette as soon as we open our mouths it’s a dead giveaway lol

It’s a simple how’s it going... wtf you’re an Aussie, if I had a dollar for every time someone said that I’d a free night out with the boys.

Gone off track but yeah, always sauce the pie and don’t overdo the vegemite.


And if you like crayfish or scallops (shell fish not potato), can't go past Tasmania for crayfish/lobster mornay or curried scallop pies :nod:


Seafood is the bees knees, mud crab for me hands down best.

Tassie is actually the best in place in Australia that less people know about. Beaches for days, F all people and the fishing is world class. Caught the biggest KG whiting that me or my dads friends (they’ve been fishing for like 50+ years lol) that they’ve ever seen. we weighed this fat bastard at over 2kgs and 80+cm! Monster and it was caught in a river outlet across from a house camp village onto the port out of all things. Must of been there for a long long time.

Friend has a place on the coast outside Bundaberg

You can walk off the beach onto the Barrier Reef, catch lobsters in the ocean and big barramundi in the creek behind

I have no idea about fishing and even I could do it

but doing it because he didn't trade a guy for scraps feels a bit dumb to me.
Until the trade is made, he has somehow played this correctly. A lot of it has to do with Ben/Klutch lighting themselves on fire so far but still. If Ben comes in and acts a fool, then yeah you can start the crying I guess...but doing so now is very confusing.


I mean, he did take that god awful roster with Horford and RIchardson and turned it into a 1 seed. He did that with less than a full off-season too.

Have we forgotten what a real laughing stock GM looks like? You know one who has burner accounts to trash his own superstars?

Ben for Zion. Half joking.

Pelicans fans seem to be getting sick of his routine of showing up way overweight and it being detrimental to his health.

Let him learn how to take care of his body from one of the best in Joel Embiid.


That guy is going to be a constant injury risk even more so than Joel and that's just hard to believe.

Hell no, Zion is trash (figuratively).

Can't shoot, too fat, always getting injured because he's too fat, and lazy af defensively.

lol Morey would be nuts to not take that deal. If you get Zion for Ben you take it and run.

Zion should lose some weight but he’s also been pretty unlucky with injuries as they don’t seem to be as a result of chronic weakness in a specific part of the body

Zion and Embiid would be pretty tragic. He's not even good defensively.

No more players that don't have a position and don't fit in lineups because they can't shoot.

Zion doesn't suck, but he makes Joel look like low risk for injury by comparison and that is saying a lot, plus his game and Joel's would never match up, not that they are going to trade him anyway. Ingram is a much better fit, with a follow up trade to get us an actual PG from somewhere.

That's not the trade with that team. Try to swindle the Pelicans of their draft assets for Simmons.

He’s not perfect. But he’s perfect for the job as our GM at this stage of our program.


Do you think there's a chance Philly keeps him till the trade deadline?


It would be prudent to be open to all possibilities.

Yes there is a chance. But very likely not.

Why?
- sour relation
- proven wont work

A lot of factors will determine that.
- how the team play with and without Ben
- what is the best offer out there for Ben

Is there a chance he’ll stay? Sure. Lets say we’re on our way to 82-0. Or Ben plays like a superstar. There’s 0 offers for him.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Zion is better than Joel

Let’s get real here

He’s 21 & his marketing rights alone would dwarf Embiid’s
