Ban vaping
I know it's objectively less unhealthy than smoking and essentially removes the second hand aspect, but for some reason I find it much more annoying and look down on vapers more than smokers.

Eales once stopped a penalty goal by jumping up and blocking it, before kicking the ball past the PG kicker into touch. Never happened before or since.

I thought John Eales retired many years ago? All time great but a bit over-rated at times, IMO. Shut your f**king mouth he was. He's over-rated in the sense that some claim him as a nailed on best lock ever head and shoulders above all else. I'd have him in my top 5 all time, probably top 3 but he'...
