Anyone who hasn't heard my Luke Burt beef stories…..

Luke Burt lives @ Redhead, which wasn't too far from where I use to live.
I use to always see him mowing his lawn on my way home the beach.
I'm not a fan of Luke Burt, I think he is one of the most uncoordinated looking, talentless players around that spends too much time in the sun and looks like he's about 60 years old.
Anyways, when I'd drive past him, I'd always yell out something to him, "up yours Burty!"
Keep it PG....

Also, there is a bloke named Zeb Taia.
One dude I can't stand...
I use to see this guy - every week - never changed his clothes.
Khaki pair of Dickies shorts, San Antonio Spurs jersey and a pair of thongs.
I probably saw this guy for 60 odd weeks in a row, same outfit.

When walking out of Hunter Stadium, after the test match...
This guy was walking the opp direction and my Mrs asked, "Do u know that guy?"
I said yeah thats Zeb Taia, he is a chump.
This guy gave me the filthiest look.

Bumped into him later on and we had the same watch on but he had the Hers to my His version of the watch. I said to him... Nice watch bruh.
Blah blah, he said thanks... I said yeah i gotta couple more at home, they're nice.
He said... "Mmm, so do I." Looking all sad <--- 100% looked sad.
Then I said, "Ok, your Mrs let u borrow em, does she?"
Sad face, awkward laugh and that was that.
Signed to Catalans or something a few weeks later.
The beef lives on.

The key to having a decent chat is disarming them completely

If I was to want to chat to Robbie I'd bring up Liverpool for example or Keefy his child

Or women

I grew up in Bondi Junction and saw footy players all the time. A few of the memorable events for me were;

1980's- a stand off between two cars at the intersection where Centennial Park meets Queens Park. After a few seconds of arguing, one of the drivers threw a huge fruit salad out his window onto the bonnet of the other car, then drove off- the fruit salad thrower was Tigers' crazy man Terry Regan.
\

Early 1980's - my drunken mate taunted Wally Lewis on the dance floor at Annabels Nightclub- Wally turned and punched him in the head, much to our amusement.

1980's- I walked into the toilets at the same night club and a South Sydney player (whose father played for the same club) was having sex (with a female) in the cubicle with the door open.

Late 80/early 90's- I was working the door at Woolloomoolooo Bay Hotel on a Sunday afternoon around 5pm when around 15 Manly players walked in. Toovey was blind drunk and decided to stand in the middle of the crowded bar with his pants around his ankles. The other manly guys just stood there smiling. I asked him to pull his pants up and he obliged, but when I walked away down they went again. Over the next hour, I had to tell him to pull his pants up 4-5 times, but when I'd return, Toovey would be standing there, pants around his ankles with a big smile on his face. Eventually, his Manly mates agreed that Tooves' pants had to stay up or they all had to leave and he was good after that. It was actually pretty funny, but nowadays with smart phones etc, the media would have been all over it

So let me get this straight Demps - you don't rate Luke Burt as a player, so you yell out obscenities to him when you're driving past and you dislike him because he mows his lawn too much and spends too much time in the sun and you have a 'beef' with Zeb Taia because he happens to be wearing the same clothes whenever you see him, is obviously a shy bloke and he gave you a filthy look AFTER you called him a chump out loud. Mmmkay :unamused:

I was working during the Ashes a few years ago at The Chalk Hotel, which is probably the closest pub to the Gabba in Brisbane. I was working selling food to people in a pop up hotbox thing and Peter Wallace drunk as a skunk stumbled up and started looking at the options. I asked him how he was and he looked up and stared blankly at me for about 10 seconds until I started feeling really awkward. One of his mates noticed and ushered him away after ordering a couple of hotdogs. He was on Pluto man.

I normally go to the first day of the Brisbane test, and the Chalk, being the first pub open between the train station and the ground, always gets a go for a couple of 9.30 heartstarters.

He gave me a filty look before I called him a chump.
Thats where the beef began.

I'm a tigers supporter, not an eels supporter - therefore I'm an entitled to hate any eels player I want.
Luke Burt happens to be one I was never a fan of.
Being a young man, I thought it was pretty funny to throw abuse his way when I saw him.
As I said, was a few years ago… but yes, I dislike him.
