A Boy Named Crow Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 3 hours ago, jonesy said: Brings me nicely to a seethe. I see loads of foreign students coming and going from Edinburgh Uni where I live. Some of them are dressed in this weather (15 degrees!) like it's sub-zero with massive, long padded jackets, hats, gloves (gloves!) and scarves. Not sure why it annoys me - maybe because they over-dress at this time and then complain about the temperature when it's colder in January/February. It's all relative. If you're used to living in a hot country, then 15 degrees feels bloody freezing. It makes no difference that it's going to get even colder for the next few months, the poor buggers probably think they're going to die!

Absolutely hated that! Played with work twice a week in my old job ended up falling out with folk week in week out and it was taking into work because some fat wank couldn't track back and when they would attack they would take the ball into the corner and try use the boards or try skin a player 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just got scunnered by years of Italian and Spanish students complaining about the weather. I mean, what exactly did they think they were coming to when they signed up to come to a wee island in the North Atlantic in winter? Aye, I just shake my head at Brits in Sydney who complain about the humid heat in summer and the absence of heat* in winter. Places have seasons, folk should do their homework! I do understand where they're coming from though, their suffering is real, even if they should've known better 😂 * I say absence of heat rather than cold.

Its funny I was just talking to my son about this at the weekend. I help coach his 9s team and as a defender (like his Dad) ive tried to instill the same mindset about tracking back even when it seems completely hopeless. Your footsteps will put pressure on the attacker to shoot if he knows he cant take his time, what if the keeper saves it, what if it hits the post? Last game he chased a long ball over the top which our LB missed. Attacker had an air swing and by the time he set himself he'd steamed in and put it out for a corner. The look we shared and the small nod I got from him was worth millions. My biggest seethe in my 5s days was folk calling off 10mins before kick off. Personally that should be a custodial sentence.

In Noosa it was like the Med. In Melbourne it was 35 degrees one day and 15 the next and I had to wear a bloody jumper so I had planned. In Sydney it was warm then hot, then the feckin weather went to pot. My wife reckoned the Bush fires caused these bloody dry thunderstorms (local called it that). Took insect repellant, mosquito spray etc. Only saw a few spiders on the Brisbane Street lamps. Not bitten once surprisingly. Now if we'd gone in January..... Ah the summer of 2019/2020... now that was some caper! I live right in the middle of Sydney, so there was never really any danger for us (in hindsight anyway, at the time it was mental...), but the air was like the aftermath in a disaster movie for weeks and weeks. Once covid is not a thing, you should come back, see the place in a better light 😉 Edited October 28, 2021 by A Boy Named Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were staying at Double Bay and there is some serious money there I reckon. Used the ferries all the time and I've still got money on my Opal card lol. There were some isolated fires up in Queensland and a few roads got closed near Noosa but we only saw a little smoke in the distance and sometimes the smell. We plan to go back in the next year or two and will spend more time in Sydney as we only had five days there.
