In an Earlier Post here at the A.G.Blog, The Yobbo asked This Question....
How did you know I am from the Upper Great Southern? Suddenly I am very afraid.
In a words Yobbo, I didn't. So don't be afraid. I just picked a league that I'd played footy in. So employing the most subtle segue since Sid James threw "You're really packin 'em in there darling" to Babs Windsor, here's an exciting excerpt from an article (Right next to the price of Lucerne) written back in 19 hundred and something. It's from that internationally famous organ of high journalism, The Narrogin Observer....
Taylor Kicks 12 In An Exciting MatchIn a tough encounter at the Clayton Road Oval last Sunday, Towns beat Wagin by five points in an exciting match that hung in the balance until the dying minutes of the game.
Although Town's Tony Taylor kicked 12 goals for the match, his goal kicking spree was an indication of his immense talent as a full forward rather than his team's overall superiority.
I like that last sentence.
Also of coincidence is the fact that Yobbo Studied to be an Electronic Engineer. How about that? So did I.
However, this particular Yobbo seems far smarter than your common and garden brand of Bundy & Coke drinking, Mexican Waving, Aussie Aussie Aussie chanting slack-jawed simpletons. Why? He quit, or course!
After one mind-numbingly boring semester of studying electronic engineering, I landed a job as junior sales assistant in a retail franchise.
Yep. For me all that assiduous study of High-pass Filters, Schotky Diodes and Extra Low Frequency transmission systems conclusively proved one thing and one thing only. It really is possible to waste three years of your life!
Conclusion? Yobbo Smart. Teacher Stupid.
