Cheers man, looks like we could be back in business.

I actually took a photo of the Dandenong sign coming out of Melbourne to send you but couldn't figure out how to send a photo over PM 

[Eoin McLove]

I don't live in Dandenong, I live up in the Dandenongs! Not actually the same place but fairly close to each other

Ah ok, good thing I wasn't coming to use the toilet

An Post. Seems like Ireland is currently the only European country that won't send registered post to the US and of course according to them its Trump fault with the tariffs yet every other EU country has been back sending as normal for weeks now.

Have a shirt here I need to ship since August. Was told in August it would be resolved in about 6 weeks yet here we are now almost in December and they are still not sending.

Reminds me of the whole An Post sending back packages from outside the EU due to their machines not reading them properly yet they blamed the new EU regulations that came in about 4 years ago. At one point Australian post and Japan wouldn't even ship to Ireland for about 6 months because of what was going on.

Absolutely. Everyone fucking at it too like sheep. Moist behaviour.

The lack of priciple in people. For example, FIFA, an example of how low humanity can sink when it comes to chasing cash, are offering lotteries to purchase tickets for the next world cup and lads are queuing up like early 90's Steven Adler ready to suck any cock for a ticket. How hard is it to say "Fuck these cunts" and boycott this shit. Sucking their cocks and handing over the money just encourages them to keep going at it.

Have you met the hardcore footie fans before?

I think people are craving real life experiences more than ever given how fractured the monoculture is, plus how much of life is online now. It's why so many people are prepared to pay utterly ludicrous prices for concert tickets too. Which is really sad.

Also, you can't rule out how strong the pull of, "I was there" on social media is for the young 'uns. Which is really sad.

[Bürggermeister]

It's fucking gruesome.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

People have been paying over the odds for certain events for as long as I can remember. Yes, fuck FIFA and all that, and yes, fuck online life and all that, but the basic principle of demand and supply is... a lot older than the internet, let alone social media.

[Bürggermeister]

Yeah, for sure, but in the look-at-me age with all the virtue signalling, you'd just expect cunts to be a bit more engaged. It's more of a fuck-this-planet gripe than aimed at any specific demographic.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Virtue-signallers tend to be liberals rather than leftists. And the closer the "thing" in question comes to home, one's passions or job, the less engaged people are. I know many "leftist" academics who'll pay way over the odds (in public money, no less) to cock corporations like RELX or Springer-Nature so that they can get their paper published in their favourite prestigious journal. And that's an area in which I find the lack of integrity particularly galling, since I have reason to expect more of academics than footie fans

Craving real life experiences while posting videos of themselves having a so- called real life experiences... A couple of times recently I've passed people on the street doing several takes off themselves causally walking up the footpath while their mate films them. Who influences the influencers, that's the question.

I'm actually looking forward to an absolute shitshow at the World Cup Final. Dunno what the fuck possessed them to put it in the air conditioner that is Metlife Stadium of all places. Putting a temporary grass pitch over concrete, and because Woody and the Maras own the place, they'll go with the cheapest option. And then followed by the New Jersey Transit guys watching train after train leaves empty from halftime onwards, then realising with dawning horror, everyone is actually staying til the end, whereupon there will be tens of thousands queueing all at once to escape the swamp.

Assuming they learned their lesson from the Super Bowl nightmare. But since it's NJT, I doubt it.
