Moving Further North

[sms316]

Look out Brisbane. The fat bastard is coming! :mrgreen:

Just took a phone call which has me heading up there next week for a job interview. The interview is at a time of my choosing, which is pretty rare. Things are looking "quietly promising".

I might just have to nominate Wednesday and bring the clubs.

No more winter! No more winter! No more winter!

[AndyP]

Poll? Oh wait, you're not asking us.

[Webster]

What sort of job is it?

[just]

Where you looking at living if it all comes through? Rents are quite high in Brisbane at the moment.

[sms316]

What sort of job is it?

A golf industry job.

[Eag's]

Shit! there goes the neighbourhood :roll:

[sms316]

Rents in Brisbane have nothing on Canberra.

I'm guessing blow job! (giving that is)

[Fishman Dan]

I doubt I will miss Canberra too much at all to be honest.

[BrisVegas]

are you interviewing for the Brookwater GM position?

[sms316]

No.

[oscar]

They're looking for a drinks cart girl at The Glades???

Don't tell me that American stunner with the big cans left?

Good luck with it up there SMS..

Say goodbye winter and hello to shitty grainy greens!

[WBennett]

I doubt I will miss Canberra too much at all to be honest.

And Canberra won't miss you either. :)

I have but one request - can you and TG have that matchplay game before you leave???

[oz]

Good luck. Winter sucks. It sounds like a helluva good idea to move up there. Am I too late to lodge an application? ;)

[Moe Norman]

it was f#cking freezing this morning, so you won't be missing winter mate

[zacdullard]

I made the move from Vitoria in 2007 and have enjoyed it. The cold is the thing i miss least although here in Gympie it has got a bit chilly of late.

Geez, I think there really should be some sort of immigration process that all you outsiders from other states should have to go through before we let you in.:razz::lol:

Forget it SMS, someone relocated canberra weather here.

[sms316]

Yeah, those 6 degree mornings are a real killer.

[markTHEblake]

its really hard to type wearing mittens.

[haysey]

13 degrees when I got to work this morning. I nearly put a jumper on:shock:

[Webster]

Lovely crisp day down here. Must be all of 4 or 5 degrees. I love Melbourne weather.

[BrisVegas]

1deg at my place overnight, but i don't mind the cool at night time. At least it warms up to a nice temp (~20deg) during the daytime.

[sms316]

Excellent. A pissing contest I can win!

-2 deg this morning. Warming up to a respectable 11 deg today.

[AndyP]

9 degrees overnight, 26 max here today. Brrrrrrrrr! Bring back the 30 degree days.

[markTHEblake]

-2 deg this morning. Warming up to a respectable 11 deg today.

I would much rather be in -2 where every where i go has heating.

6 degrees and no heating is not funny - the water at the bloody beach is warmer!

[Sydney Hacker]

I left Hervey Bay on Wednesday in bright sunshine... the next day I was standing in the snow about an hour or so south of the border wishing I was heading north again !

[sms316]

Interview this morning seemed to go well. Got one more place to look at (1.30pm), then I am going to a bar. Work up a thirst in this warm weather.

[3oneday]

This moved yet ?

[BrisVegas]

the markets are on at the top of the mall. They have good pies.

[sms316]

Hehe.

I'm going to Nudgee GC for a beer at 2.15pm. Need to be back at the airport at 3.30pm.

[Eag's]

Hehe.

I'm going to Nudgee GC for a beer at 2.15pm. Need to be back at the airport at 3.30pm.

Don't stuff around to long at Nudgee mate. The airport is close by but the highway taking you there can back up very quickly.

[parlyboy]

One less fat barstard for Canberra. Joking.

I lived up there on the Barrier Reef for 18 months...it was terrible...not.

Congrats SMS, ill send postcards of Parliament House or something cool like Mt Ainslie if you miss the place..lol.

Hope you don't change your tune in a ridiculously humid summers. I think 'sweating' is listed as a school summer sport in Brisbane.

But then again, I hear that Canberra summers are none too pleasant either.

Totally different kind of heat compared to Brisbane. This summer I spent in western NSW was nothing compared to up there !

[henno]

32 degrees in Brisbane is more uncomfortable than 42 degrees in north-west W.A.

[just]

Brisbane summers are not ridiculously humid. That is an over the top characterisation of the weather. I find it quite mild in summer, and pleasently humid for the most part.

Rubbish, Henno. North-west WA is the subtropics/tropics so is much the same as Brisbane. Your comparison might work for Perth and the mid coast of WA. However it depends on who you are, I find 42 degrees in Perth much more unpleasant and uncomfortable than 32 degrees in Brisbane, having experienced both on numerous occasions.

[just]

I think coming from a Canberra summer with very little humidity SMS will find it very humid in Brisbane.
I don't doubt that, but in general its not ridiculously humid. If you think that then you have never lived in Cairns and Darwin in the wet season.

[henno]

I lived in Karratha for 2 years just. It's the driest heat ever, yet no-where near as uncomfortable as the humid tropics.

[henno]

And it got to 48 at one point, and was in the 40's for a large portion of the year.

[Sydney Hacker]

I don't doubt that, but in general its not ridiculously humid. If you think that then you have never lived in Cairns and Darwin in the wet season.

Cairns, Townsville (and magnetic Isl.) Proserpine/Airlie Beach and Rockhampton, I have lived in and I find Brisbane on the really bad days just as bad as any of them.

Granted it is not as humidly hot each and every day as the others, but it gets up there.

[just]

I lived in Karratha for 2 years just. It's the driest heat ever, yet no-where near as uncomfortable as the humid tropics.
For you, not everyone, which is my point. I hate the dry heat and find it very uncomfortable.
I should have clarified I was talking Broome upwards.

[TheTrueReview]

I don't doubt that, but in general its not ridiculously humid.

I'll stick with my original opinion. I find Brisbane a hot bowl of humidity in summer. Driving an hour in any direction (other than due east) usually brings relief. But that's only my opinion. No offence intended.


If you think that then you have never lived in Cairns and Darwin in the wet season.

Only mad dogs and Englishman go to those places!! :mrgreen:

Sure it gets up there some days, totally agree, however a few days as opposed to a whole wet season in the tropics hardly qualifies Brisbane as ridiculously humid. For the most part its reasonably pleasant I find.

[henno]

That I will agree with. Hot days in Brisbane are the worst. As are the cold days. But luckily there are very few of them. 95% of the time it is just loverly.

[markTHEblake]

Darwin is not any hotter than Brisbane. Its just that Darwin has about 180 stinking hot days and Brisbane only about 30.

[goughy]

I hate Brissies humidity too! Can't stand it, or the humidity on the sunny coast. Ain't been on the goldie in summer to know whether I hate it too.

[just]

Goldies pretty much the same, Goughy. Better stay up on the ranges during summer.

[goughy]

It's hot, but it's a dry heat up here. If I moved to brissie or the coasts I'd hate the first summer but be used to it after that.

[sms316]

I think coming from a Canberra summer with very little humidity SMS will find it very humid in Brisbane.
I noticed the humidity at Wynnum back in late January (although that could have had something to do with not hydrating properly :mrgreen:).

No matter how bad it is, it will still be better than a standard Canberra winter. Give me a feral 32 deg day in summer, over a minus 6 morning any day.

[sms316]

Mate..i let it slip last nite in the chatroom...welcome to Nudgee mate.
No chance. The beer on tap at Nudgee was horrible.

[Jarro]

We don't waste our good piss on unappreciative southereners Shorn :roll:

Goodbye to the ice age!

My condolences Brisbane.... oh and congratulations Shorn!

I am sure you and Dwayne will have a great working relationship !

Nice one son..does this mean you can get me free golf at Nudgee ?
You can play as much free golf at Nudgee as you like. Tell them SMS said it was OK. Enjoy the serenity.

You might be able to find Razzar there, if that helps the guessing game.

[sms316]

Keperra

[Grunt]

I see, congrats with it all too.

[PeteyD]

Needs a going over, and someone to use as a scapegoat when it goes pear shaped ... interesting coincidence!

[razaar]

SMS will fit right in and will be running the show in no time at all. His mentor at Royal Canberra was the first real Sec/Manager at Keperra in the early '80s. Shaun is following in his footsteps. Best thing that has happened to Keperra in a long time, just sorry I'm leaving.

[henno]

I can't wait for ******'s triumphant return to ozgolf.

And congrats SMS. Although it's a shame we won't be able to share many a boozy Saturday at Pacific. I think you would have liked it there.

[razaar]

:lol::lol::lol:

[dc68]

Hahahaha good luck mate.... Keperra has to be one of the most humid places in Brizzy in summer and freezin freaking cold in winter.

[PeteyD]

Something like Gailes? Won;t be anywhere near as cold as Cannnnnnnnbeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrra.

umm Shaun, if you were wanting those birdie balls back, well umm, I lost em all!

[sms316]

Congrats Shaun ! - did you get a chance to have a look at the course ?
Didn't have a look at the course as such. Got there 15 mins before the interview, so I took a walk around the 1st and 10th tees, as well as having a look around the practice facilities.

[dc68]

You wouldnt be saying that if he was moving to your town! :smt013



Ummmmmm, Blake are you telling us you moved to Brisbane without telling us?

[3oneday]

This moved yet ?

[sms316]

Well, pretty much everything was loaded onto the truck this afternoon, and they arrive at the new joint sometime on Monday.

Priorities are set though. The TV/DVD/Foxtel are packed in the car, as Foxtel are due to install on Monday between 7am and midday.

[Jarro]

Say the word and i'll email the local KFC stores to tell them to put more casual staff on

[sms316]

I think that there is a KFC 500m from home.

[Jarro]

mate you have everything 500 meters from your home :)

[sms316]

True. It does look like a pretty sizable Westfield.

[Eag's]

mate you have everything 500 meters from your home :)

Not in Brendale he won't :lol:

[sms316]

Am I missing something? :?

Strathpine Westfield is a stone's throw away.

[Eag's]

Ahh so you must be on the Strathpine side of Brendale?
Only reason I ask is because a lot of Brendale is industrial.

[Ned]

Does Dwayne live with in 500 metres ?

[sms316]

Not as far as I know.

Dwayne gets a bad rap. Spoke to him this morning. He's a good fella.

[AndyP]

He just posts like a wanker. He's not the only one though.

[sms316]

This is true. At least he doesn't follow St George (I hope).

[Scottt]

Shorne,

Does Dwayne know that you know about his maniacal internet alter ego?

[sms316]

Maybe. He's a good fella. My understanding is that it was a joke which was never really understood.

[AndyP]

And noone laughed. Except for his own insane laugh while typing the posts out.

[Scottt]

Someone, Henno I think, made a great post about how it may well have been a joke, but that jokes are meant to involve more than one person. I thought that was really well put.

[henno]

Someone, Henno I think, made a great post about how it may well have been a joke, but that jokes are meant to involve more than one person. I thought that was really well put.

:-"


I am ambivalent about the whole issue. On the one hand it was a relatively harmless joke, but on the other hand jokes are meant to be funny and involve more than just the guy telling it.

Behind it all, it was really just a twisted game of "I spy a sociopath".

Lots of cheap plaid shorts up here.

[AndyP]

Does that not strike you as sad, Raz?
Does it concern you that this is the man who runs your golf club?
I can't see how this could be a good thing for Keperra GC? Prospective member googles Keperra, finds the thread and sees the boss is a nutcase?

I know of one person who falls into this category, and there is not a snowflake's chance in hell of him joining now.
That's one tough mother****ing snowflake.

[sms316]

Wondered when that was coming...

Don't be like that, Andy. They've had a chat and are now best buds, even if Dwayne is a sociopath.

Never bothered to find out the traits of a socio until now. Bugger!

The sociopath may be an excellent actor, always appearing charming, calm, and collected. They usually have a normal or above normal intelligence level and good verbal fluency. It is these qualities that sometimes place he sociopath in leadership positions within their social groups and often make it hard to spot their "black side".

[WBennett]

Well, almost a week down the track and the following are my first impressions of Brisbane;

1. The weather makes this feel like a holiday. I even saw a cloud (once).
2. The newsreaders in Queensland are dog-ugly, and not up to scratch at all.
3. Queen St Mall has an unbelievable amount of eye-candy.
4. There seems to be a shit load of New Zealanders here.
5. Prangs near Strathpine can result in a 2 hour drive home after golf.

Does this mean you will be a starter for Club Pelican in the 2011 Pennant season, or will you be working on Sundays? Horton and Pelican are in different zones so there won't be a conflict of interest unless Horton needs you for its team.:)

A parked car, local park bench and now also the steps of the ymca are not considered to be options on hand for accommodation!!!!!

I am not, so that is probably a yes. I have two options on hand for accomadation, wait, make that 3.

Let's just settle for two shall we?

Given that I will only be paying for half a room for one night versus the cost of a drunken cab ride home it probably doesn't end up too far behind anyway.

Proposal was sent to all on the Championship Committee, limited responses to date with no firm approval to go ahead!

[AndyP]

Who would you expect to get approval from? Unless shavey has already organised something, just do it.

[Ned]

Who would you expect to get approval from? Unless shavey has already organised something, just do it.

Thats why there is a Championship Committee for those decisions isnt there ?

[AndyP]

Maybe. Ask just.

[sms316]

[AndyP]

He asked just if the committee is there to make those decisions? What did he say?

[just]

Thats why there is a Championship Committee for those decisions isnt there ?
We don't have a Champs Committee, as AndyP repeatedly points out, just a loose affiliation of volunteers who help organise stuff. So the answer to your question in the above quote is no.

Maybe. Ask just.
He didn't as far as I know, can't find a record of it. But anyway see above reply.

I thought he did?
See above replies.

Which leads us back to:

Who would you expect to get approval from? Unless shavey has already organised something, just do it.

It sounds like Ned needs to be added to the "committee".

I'm not in the committee obviously, but here's my opinion anyway. Last year's Friday game at Pac Harbour was good and i'd be happy to go back there again. If that keeps things cleaner from a work (Horton Park) standpoint, then even better.

It isn't too much of a fuss for me from my end. It would be a conflict if I was involved too much from both sides.

I think the pro for Horton is that it is only 20-25 mins to Pelican Waters, whereas Pacific Harbour is much further. The fact that it is north of it may be a concern for some people and not for others. Out of staters can fly in to either Brisbane and get a lift, or Maroochydore and still get a lift as the airport is only 10 mins away.

I won't get my nose out of joint either way as I will be taking Friday off from work.

We travellers ask the assistance of a local to organise the Monday and Friday games.
You have the access and knowledge of availability to make it happen and we do not.

So please someone step up and start the 1st Tee thread and we'll see you there.

Having played Pac Harbour last year, I'm keen to try a different venue for the Friday match this year. Whether it turns out to be Horton Park, Bribie Island or somewhere else, I don't mind.

A parked car, local park bench and now also the steps of the ymca are not considered to be options on hand for accommodation!!!!!

actually i have lined up the Palmwoods Curry house, Eudlo barracks, or maybe even Caloundra collingwood fan club. Seems that local pieshop has a extra spare bed as well now!

Only thing missing is granny on the back. My wagon really is that bad.

It looked like a nice day for a round at Peanut Hills when I drove past at around 7.30am, Dot.

Almost brings a tear to my eye thinking about how I would have seen Canberra in my rear view mirror, except there was a filthy fog.

1 year since and I bet they miss me more than I miss them. :mrgreen:

Happy Anniversary.

Where's the invite to have a hit with you at Pelican :mrgreen:

[sms316]

7.00am tomorrow morning?

[ddasey]

7.00am tomorrow morning?

Gee that was quick. Thanks but will have to take a rain check. Work getting in the way once again.

Would love to get around Pelican prior to the Champs.

[sms316]

I'm having a hit at 7.00am the next two Mondays. May get an early Wednesday comp hit, and the only other games I will probably get there will the the Qld Mid-Amateur champs (Sept 19-21).

[ddasey]

Enjoy.

As I mentioned work tomorrow, then next week fly to Mackay on Sunday and in court at Proserpine on Monday....doh.

On this day 4 years ago an intrepid traveller from the ACT crossed the Tweed. Despite heavy campaigning to Can Do, I still haven't got daylight saving in.

In the past 4 years I have had 7 jobs, have voted for Peter Slipper, and lived at 3 addresses. Thankfully the uncertainty has dropped off over the last year, although the bride has had a bad run with jobs too.

I see it is -3 in Canberra this morning, which is the same as it was when I left.

[Jarro]

Who cares ??

[Courty]

Will you be voting for Peter Slipper again this time around?

[sms316]

Will you be voting for Peter Slipper again this time around?
:lol:

I don't vote for independants.

[WBennett]

No frost this morning. Thick fog, but no frost.

Don't sell yourself short.

Who cares ?? I care.

[sms316]

I care. I'm scared.

[markTHEblake]

I may only Care in the same way the residents of Gympie care. A thread about you, started by you, updated by you. Who would even open it if they did not care?

[Yossarian]

Jarro apparently.

You should open a bakery.
