PS: I still give a rolling call, just in case someone is around
Why not add few more such as "lifting off now" and "200 feet gear is up and locked now" "500 feet checking all clear left and right now."
All good situational awareness for those in the circuit
I like the "midfield crosswind" call. Seems that when you call this you can do whatever you want as everyone's interpretation seems different on what it is.

TM,
"rolling call". Because the time of first taxing to departing can vary, with a rolling call anyone inbound now has a better idea time wise of where they'll be by the time you are setting track instead of waiting for you dep call, which if a jet could mean they'll be anywhere up to 7 miles out. While it's a double edged sword on busy freqs could be the last chance for conflicting traffic who missed your taxi call.

I make the absolute bare minimum calls - only those strictly required by CASA. Two calls for each of the inbound & outbound cases seems to cover it.
Then, if there is someone else in the area, I talk to them with other calls as appropriate. The rolling call is occasionally a good option in this case.
That said, reading this thread is like holding a public belly button inspection.
You learn something unique about everyone, but at the end of the day the things you've learned about each person are not especially useful.
