A new guy from Australia

Hey I'm Dave
I'm from Melbourne, Australia
I'm a student working in all the productions that come up at my school. I really enjoy it.
I am aspiring to be a lighting tech, but I help out with anything and absolutely everything at my school
On a side not, I also play hockey
cheers
-Dave

 

Sorry I should have explained it better.

I play field hockey, forgot about the other types, although I have tried the other variants, to varied success.

May I ask what is wrong with 220 voltage? Or don't I want to open that can of worms?

Keep it in mind that I know hardly anything about the technology of theatre, but thats why I joined ControlBooth

Anyway thanks for the introduction

 

Keep it closed!

Anyway, welcome to ControlBooth!

 

Hughesie and I are both from down Melbourne way.

Welcome to the booth.

 

Welcome to the booth Dave, I'm from Adelaide and if you weren't from Victoria I'd be really happy to see you. Now if you will excuse me for a moment I need to speak severely to Gafftaper.

OK that interesting game you call Hockey was developed from the real game field hockey and it might just interest you to know that in recent years Australia have been the world champions in this form of the game at least as often as they haven't been. Possibly even more often. Both in mens and womens versions of the game.
We do have ice rinks and we do have ice hockey and I do know who Wayne Gretsky is; I just don't care.

Keep it up Gaff and we might be able to start another great fight.

Oh and Dave, it's not that I've got anything against Victorians, it's just that you are ... well ... Victorians.

 

Adelaide?

Whats in Adelaide? last time I was there was with the scout Jamboree in 2003 or sometime near it.

The population doubled with 12000 little kiddies running around and the like.

What weapons can us Aussies use against each other?

Ill throw Steve Bracks at you

(for those that dont know, Steve Bracks was the premier (a politician) of victoria)

feel the burn of the politician

hahaha

Me throwing Steve Bracks at Logos means I'm from melbourne

 

Cherokee Stick Ball sounds ......... interesting/painful. the closest modern thing I could think of that relates to the aforementioned "game" is Rugby Union. Thats a good game to watch game. None of this padding you Americans are so fond of!!

 

I will trump your Steve Bracks with an amanda vanstone. She was from SA and was twice his size and twicw his charisma. But in the ned mate well youre ... Victorian.

I don't really mean it, it's all in fun and we will of course all leap upon any unprotected throat of an American who attacks us collectively and then go back to bickering over his bloody carcase.

 

<Oh and Dave, it's not that I've got anything against Victorians, it's just that you are ... well ... Victorians.>

Not to get too involved in this fray- I must admit that VB was one of the better bitters I had while taking a holiday down under, years ago. And Surfer's Paradise was certainly that!!!

 

And I believe that Steve Bracks has vanished into whatever black hole retired pollies go to die.

 

Surfer's is in Queensland Keith which opens up an entrely new can of worms relating to interstate rivalries, I do admit however to the liking for an occasional VB although my favourite Aus beer is Boags. (From Tasmania)

 

VB is terrible. Boags is alright.

Crown Lager or Carlton Draught are the way to go. Beez Neez or Corona with lemon if I'm in an exciting mood.
