I see Melbourne summer has finally clunked into gear. And it's always a clunk. Never a smooth transition. Just spiteful chaos.

Oh crap. I think I heard a deep rumble of thunder or itโ€™s a possum going wild.

I had a possum going wild outside the window earlier in the night, and was quite happy to imagine it stuck outside in the rain.

Should be working. Playing table tennis instead

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

It must be a good day for it, I could hear my neighbour playing this morning too.

Work caf has weird lunch offering today. Roast veg quiche...served with soba salad?

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

What the fudge is a soba salad?

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months ago

I could see the light show but no rumbles here

Hey @Duenan@aussie.zone who's your favourite cricket commentator and who's the worst?

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oohh jeez. Thatโ€™s a real tough one to be honest.

So many to choose from!

I quite like Andy Maher and Lisa Sthalekar along with Brad Hodge.

For some reason JL annoys me.

How about for you?

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Exactly the same as you but I'll add Flemo in there as a favourite too. Ricky Ponting shits me up the wall. He's too analytic. For goodness sake it's a glorified backyard cricket game not a test. Calm down.

Sometimes I watch it through foxtel so Adam Gilchrist is good.

I also really like the youi ad where Flemo puts a batting pad on the dog. It makes me laugh every time.

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was going to add Flemo as well but I thought I might had too many favourites already.

Theyโ€™d just good fun to listen to and a little bit more lighthearted.

Iโ€™ve probably heard Gilchristโ€™s voice but I donโ€™t think I recognise it yet.

Hehe yeah the padding and bubble wrap ads are pretty funny.

I like Andy. He's very passionate about sport without being over the top. Him and Lisa are a good combo.

@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone Stars let me down last night sadly

Ceo - 14 Duenan - 11

Tonight we have the Scorchers vs the Sixers in Perth.

Your pick for tonight. Good luck!

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago

Scorchers. Good luck!
