Yeah Gary G and Erotic Jeff would be a good fit.
IndoDreaming. Hi.
What about VicLocal, I remember he was always banging heads with someone, just can’t recall at present with who/whom.AW
Yeah that was Blowin, VicLocal use to just follow him around like a shadow for some reason.
Thanks. 1-2ft here, barely surfable, I see the Island is 3-4ft lucky buggers. Enjoy your day. AW
Didn't get wet, had to go up town to grab 30m2 of solid timber flooring for a big feature wall, half mix of black butt and spotted gum, cover grade so some nice features.
IndoDreaming. Good stuff, beautiful native timbers, I’ve laid both species inside (Eucalyptus pilularis) Black Butt and (Corymbia maculata) Spotted Gum and the latter outside also.
Definitely need sound fixings, spotted gum is prone to partial twisting or buckling if not fixed correctly.
You’ll get a beautiful finish. AW
yes, it has been a normal day, @jef.

Well since my last post , there’s been a 3 hour YouTube from quadzilla
2 posts from @Indo , one being political
I think Hiccups posted something political
Not to mention Adam12 , super freak AW sometimes, old fish guy, salty someone, and I’m sure you’ve posted political stuff as well
etc if I wanted to look back,
So it’s a USA thread , so why not talk about the USA
What I did today has nothing to do with the USA, so maybe you need a chit chat thread
Just saying
Exxotixjeff. Hi.
Please don’t insert my name in your YouTube list of downloaders, I would’ve downloaded no more than three pieces, all biological in all the years I’ve been a subscriber.
You, on the other hand.
Why can’t you read an article, absorb the info, if there’s any and then using your brain write something worthy of reading, we’d be all interested.
But, your shit show is like watching a continuous Oz Lotto Draw .
Haven’t you got the message from management , they want change.
It’s the volume of shit you post that’s dulling the Forum pages.
You feel obligated to reply to everything.
You obviously live on your own. Crikey. AW

Hey , that’s what I did this morning, but it seems that nothing is really acceptable, change the rules if you don’t like the content ,
Follow the leader
You were wine ing about YouTube videos,
So I posted the highlights of a YouTube video only of up to date events ,
and still got abused by an indignant
. So how long do you think Adam 12 posts are
But no you’re not going to worry about that.
You might know about botany but you’re totally wrong about me living on my own
Oh mighty intelligent one
But oh well you know, follow on ,
You seem to think that Trump wins the election and nothing else happens,
What sort of level are you on.
what are your specific questions @jef?
feel like this stuff should be instinctual, but there you go.
If you're not sure, here's a simple @juliang checklist:
- post once a day-ish, unless engaged by others
- enjoy the things you almost post, but don't
- take any criticism onboard and say, haha
- contextualise, in words, political clips, if clips there must be
- engage with others and take an interest in the swellnet community
- share a little about yourself, you like piña coladas?
or even, just read the site without comment, look at the cams and read the reports for a while.. get a feel for it. People are up in arms about Trump, about Albanese, about vaccines, about surfboard tax, (and $6 wax), about erosion & development.. but you can't saturate others through your own glory hole.
I feel a few people have tried to help you with this (i.e @AW) and it's bewildering that you get the wrong end of the stick and think 'no politics' 'no youtube', 'no long posts' and things... no-one says this. what're your questions? just ask instead of getting indignant. you were very personable in the beginning..
(congrats to the convivial nostalgia-ists in just general surfing stuff celebrating the 700th page. epic.)

My question is, why don’t you seem to notice the volume of some of the other posters ,
but blame it all on me.
And yes I do look at the cams
Although I won’t mention which cams, if you really want to get down to levels of criticism,
And yes I am sometimes on them ,
Something that probably wouldn’t happen to you very often, seeing as how you live where you live,
Anyway, half your luck, good surfing

Didnt@ Indo tell us about Desanto and quadzilla tell us about Putins mate , etc so I’m not into selective criticism.
you watched it two and a half times?...well done, very good for a slow learner.
good luck to you, too. I enjoyed the chats I had with @juliang, and yes, very people-sparse the line-ups here, often wish there were a couple out. But you know the feeling, you've done your time in these remoter places, I believe. That's the other thing, I felt I got to know @juliang a bit, but then I'm expected to love random posts from militant denier @jef..
we have pseudonyms, but they have a history other posters get to know, those that call for 'real names' assume anyone would give a fuck, more than getting to know a person's guts in this awesome (as @vj pointed out) space.
(high volume people always get called out, so be aware, unless it's a long-time poster on an uncharacteristic roll; been nice to have @quadzilla share a bit more about his background, and more @hiccups is a good thing)

No I didn’t watch all of it ,
That was just an exaggerated guess, to make a point,
Sorry if I misrepresented you , although it was pretty interesting , the bit I did watch,
That’s up to you if you want to post that, no one’s forced to watch it.

The forums have been a chore for the last few months but change is afoot. In a few weeks, a new year begins and with it a new start. It won't quite be zero tolerance but pretty close to it when it comes to things such as repetitive posting - got that Sexy Jeff? - and argument by Youtube - hear that Jelly Flater?
It'd be nice to get the place back to where it was when many people posted on a broad range of topics rather than the usual walruses bleating the same old shite.
It might piss a few people off...but fuck it. Those few people are causing it a slow death anyway.
Please clean up this mess. This YouTube business is killing everything. The allure of this forum is to come and share the ideas with different minded people in written format. Yeah, it’s old school but it’s nice and refreshing when compared to the onslaught of social media. No point putting the effort into writing a post when you know it will be buried by 20-30 YouTube videos.
I total agree with that, real conversation can easily get lost in a sea of Youtube videos.
That said I think Youtube videos have their place and are fine if you limit yourself to use them sparely and also give your opinion on the video, rather than just plonking it on the thread, it then becomes a talking point.
Even in the tunes thread, id much rather someone post a video and give some thought's or a related story or entice me into checking a song or band out i might not know.
Something as simple as "fuck i love the bass line in this song"
another day on swellnet...
https://m.
agree @indo, aside from perhaps directing a little traffic to swellnet (a very minor perk to a very high-maintenance community service), it's cool to be able to google search words to find a past music post. If it's just the clip, there's nothing for google to grip on to.

Yeah when ive used them as flooring, ive glued and secret nailed, but as an interior wall cladding I will just secret nail it on every stud, non of the wall gets any direct sunlight either..
Yeah both really nice timbers.
BTW. I thought id take another route today looked a bit longer but through the hills and bush, but google maps was a bit misleading it ended up being dirt twisty roads, but I saw some nice gullies full of huge tree ferns and it was nice to smell that rainforest/bush smell again.
I was ignorant to the web version 1.0 references above and elsewhere, but now I get it - and agree
my take, sadly the youtube vids, for some, have just become like a 'like button...
or more so, a dislike button...
someone doesn't like what you post, or say, so they just post some youtube vid that basically says...
'you're a dickhead'
(more like fuckhead actually)
whether it gets clicked on or not... is irrelevant... the poster gets to vent, feel a bit vindicated, and get some self important king of the web points...
as to sexxyoticjeffjuliderang's videos, I'd love to know if anyone does actually click on them?
my guess is hardly anyone
that's not saying they're total rubbish... even if it's just as a study into the nuttyness of modern media... they have merit...
its just that, they're simply not the cutting edge, factoid filled, things you think they are
they are just another episode in a well worn out narrative
another episode where one knows the whole conclusion - and the 15 minutes of bullshit inbetween - just by reading the title...
and I guess that's where you get accused of being repetitive
(the fact you bag 'mainstream media' in the process, just adds endless comedy to the equation
most interesting what this ubiquitous term 'mainstream media' has come to represent...
which isn't a shot at jeffy, it's now just a bizarre pejorative, across the spectrum... up, down, left, right, and all that's in between...
almost as meaningless as the mainstream media itself)
Well that’s why I explain what a video is about, because I know a lot of people won’t bother,
Eg spykans post from X , which I know has been covered, saying that the female
Mexican President folded like a deck chair with Trump,
Which couldn’t be further from the truth,
I could have posted 3 different videos saying how she basically threatened tariffs back
And now she’s negotiating with Chinas president and possibly joining BRICS , so maybe not cutting edge but showing what is actually happening.
,And not to generalise, there are a lot of legal videos , with experienced lawyers and legal minds explaining what is happening or what might happen in different courts in different states with different judges ,which I don’t post because ?
So if you expect to see them on Channel 9
Australia there’s your funny bit.

Fair enough, it was a long lot of propaganda and watching the first ten minutes is probably enough to get the general idea of what the next 70 is about.Some people would look at who conducted the interview and not bother to waste their time too.
Tuckhead was brilliant at being a yesMan for Putin and Lavrov,neither interview was realistic and only reveals the Kremlins attempt at portraying themselves as the "good guys".
