Far worse. When I was at school bullies were suspended or expelled, now they are given titles like ADHD or mental health and looked after better than the victims

daughter and wife are both a hot mess emotionally. is what it is, but i'm a bloke and push down my feelings :lol:
insurance have been unreal so far, already a builder and sparky here to make it safe, assessors coming next week, and the builder thats here who will likely get the job already talking through what he'll do to fix it with me.

Why are there so many driver’s reversing into car parks?


Watched a bloke today reverse park and he ran straight into the back of the car next to him.

It's MUCH easier to reverse in than drive forward in & then it's MUCH easier to leave the park.
With the rear camera it is much easier, I don't do it if it's going to hold someone up nor if I need to chuck the shopping in the hatch.

I do, f*ck people.

That's an important comma location isnt it...

20 years ago a dude robbed a pharmacy of a few bottles of after shave, I was standing at the entrance of the plaza, and the pharmacist yelled out to me to stop him. I did and pulled him to the ground and pinned him until others helped hold him down.

Bring that situation today, I am stepping aside and holding the door open for him. Too risky for my health. Shops have insurance.

You definitely have to assess the risk before stepping in but why is it any riskier 20 years later?

Because between then and now, I am married, with kids, much older and not as strong as I used to be. Risk is way too high to myself and my family.

Hoping for a quick recovery CM

Thanks MW,
I might have to give up the netball, too much stress on the old ticker mightn't be any good for me :D :D

I'm a bit concerned though, I had an MRI done recently & the cardio has rung me and asked me to go and visit him tomorrow.
Might need a pacemaker methinks.
We will see.

:lol: yeah leave the netball stress alone mate!
Fingers crossed mate, but from what I hear pacemakers are relatively standard procedures these days. You'll be fine.

Before anyone trashes her just consider your daughter, or sister, or Mum being inspired by her and then STFU.

Deserved that flag as much as anyone. Good on her for everything she has done for the AFLW.

Keep at it mate, will get easier especially when you start seeing results

Not saying he’s a gun but is a very handy pickup and would be cheap

After being employed at the same place for 24 of the past 27 years it looks as though I will be saying goodbye.

I have to make a decision Monday, a very difficult one that has kept me awake all night several times over the past few weeks.

All the best mate, while it is slowing down it's still an employee market out there so still a good time to improve your situation.

Imagine how unlucky you need to be being caught taking drugs the one and only time you have done it...

Nice work mate.

never understood people like you who are so blinded by political loyalty

What am I, chopped liver?

Watching live, I said "that's 4 weeks" when i saw the hit. I am not worried about Shane getting 3. Its Pickett getting 2 and Buddy getting 1 is the concern.

The action is worth 3 plus 2 or 3 more for the outcome. If AFL are serious about outlawing these types of tackles he should get 5 or 6.

I applied the Richmond discount already.

Hey, stop it

Jack Crisp being investigated over a leaked video where there are suggestions there is illicit drugs close to him.

Sooner rather than later the AFL is going to have to publicly admit there is drug crisis amongst players in the AFL. Was there in the early 2000's and is still there just like it is in society.

Eventually they won't be able to continue to play everything off as 'isolated' incidents.

Or they can come out and say the illicit drug use amongst 18-35 year old men in Australia is no different to that in the AFL.

Interesting change to the narrative when these blokes are getting videos shared of sexist comments or drug use. They are the victims it seems because the video is leaked.

I get privacy and all, but if you are doing the wrong thing like drugs, abusing young girls etc , i could not care less if someone shares your video without your consent.

And of course the norm now on social media is to disable comments on these stories so we only hear the media put their arms around the 'victim' in this case Crisp. Give me a f..king break.

Introducing a third person into our relationship.

Went to the Alberton for Thursday night steak night last night and after ordering and sitting down at our table I noticed an older lady sitting on her own at a table. I said to Mrs Boon if our food and her food comes out at the same time I'll ask her to join us for dinner. Our meals came out, the young lad waiting tables went back into the kitchen and came out with her roast pork. Ingrid accepted my invitation and we all had dinner together.

She came out from Germany 69 years ago to learn English, fell in love with a Bavarian man, had two kids, lived in Alberton, owned and ran the bakery in Sussex St for years. She was a joy to talk too and couldn't have been happier to have been invited to have dinner with us. Her husband passed away late 90's and her adult children, like us all, live their own lives and while she's active at the Austrian club weekly, a book club and several other activities she was thrilled to have some company over dinner.

We've already booked in for dinner on Thursday night next week with her. Felt good to do something good and it didn't cost a thing.

You're a good egg mate.

don't worry one shit comment about the Crows will bring him back down

Eagles2014 wrote:Jonas gets suspended for one match

Port get all the luck

There are no words for the disgrace that is the Close suspension. Maybe it's time to suspend, or at least pay a free against, anyone who tries to break a tackle. After all I believe they do something similar in Rugby Union if a player in a certain circumstance puts his head in a dangerous position that in previous times he would have got a penalty for.

Same with the Van Rooyen one. How can he get two weeks and Fogarty from last week not even get cited?

Great example and ridiculous that the two incidents can be viewed so differently.

Based on outcome not act.
Just look at Pickett and McAdam. Pickett gets two weeks as Smith could play on no problem, and McAdam gets three because his opponent had a 20 minute concussion test.

Maybe, but if it's all getting to JHF then they're just supporting their player.

my 13 year old daughter getting her first goal on the weekend in aussie rules after 17 games. The boundary umpire may or may not have been fist pumping rather than fetching the ball from behind the goals...

We decided to go through with the surgery. All went well, ultrasound did not find any other cancer. Going to live a long life as a one eyed cat

Watch the footage. He saw him coming but did nothing to protect himself.
It's like the players are welcoming a hit to draw a free kick. Dumb footy.

So it is on the player with the ball to make sure they don't allow the opposition to concuss them when they have the ball to dispose? I've heard it all now.

Sorry for your loss Valleys. The media race to be first is a disgrace.

This should be in the sh!ts thread and I should've posted it a couple of years ago when I saw a F***tard wearing one in the crowd at the Adelaide oval

But surely there is a special place in hell reserved for the low-lifes who buy a "baggy green" on Ebay and wear it to test matches.

There's only 466 people who have earned the right to wear that cap.

Seen a couple of crowd shots over the last few days and have dry-retched.

Citizenship should be revoked.

Every other sport in the world supporters wear the team gear, but not with the baggy green for shame :roll: :lol:
Who TF cares. It's not a real one.

Being back on home soil.

Been a busy couple of months with a Bali holiday followed with works trips to Sydney, China (Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou) and then Middle East (Cairo, Dubai)...feels like i've been living out of a suitcase.

Surely this is a poor attempt at trolling??? This can't be serious.

Not even close to trolling. The Hall of Fame should represent brilliant players, not being a part of an brilliant team. The fact he never was rated highly enough by his own team to win a B&F says it all . If his own club didn't think he was the best player in a given season, how the hell does he make it to the HOF???

Beaten to B&F by Scarlett, Ablett, Selwood, Hawkins, Danger...

The only knock on him for me is he shouldnt be inducted so quickly, but deserves it nonetheless

Not the ideal time for point scoring against other clubs mate

Did Keays shit himself on the MCG?

Probably, but it was just mud on his shorts.

That poor bloke.

Can you imagine the uproar if anyone dared mention a brown skid on a females shorts (or worse)


Actually my daughters club made a decision this year to only wear the home shorts (black) rather than the away shorts (white) this year because of that reason.

As always, the fanatics from each side will defend their side no matter what happens...
The pub test says it was not in the spirit, I didnt like it when it happened. Is it out? Yep. Same applies for Starc not out decision, should have been given out but wasn't.

If Carey was keeping up would he have left the crease?
No?
Why Not?
BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN STUMPED.

I have sympathy both ways here.
The fact he kept in the crease, scratched guard, then left leans me towards it being the wrong decision. If he ducked the bouncer, looked around and walked out to pressure a run, then fair game.

If Lyon was bowling, Bairstow wouldn't have gone for a walk.

All this will do is stir up the poms,
expect them to come out all fire and brimstone now,
this next test will be very hard for us to win.

Can't play like you're angry for 5 days. Will work in our favour i reckon. Sure they will have sessions where they get the crowd up and dominate, but over 5 days can't sustain it.

My salt chlorinator automatic timer shat itself last week. Unit is 6.5 years old, well past warranty.
I emailed the company who makes them, asking for a service provider to get it quoted to fix or new one.
Reply back was it was a known issue, and they will fix it under warranty anyway.
Thats what I call customer service!

Dangerous to flirt with form but think Port wouldn’t want to go into finals on a massive winning streak anyway. Seemed a loss they didn’t mind happening and they freshen up some banged up players. One things for sure, Jonas isn’t playing finals.
