    Was catching up on some news and read 4 young kids aged between 10-14 went on a 9000km epic road trip in a 4WD from QLD to NSW without their parents knowledge. The article became interesting when i read the below....

    The 4WD was first sighted early on Sunday morning in the small town of Banana, west of Rockhampton, where the group was allegedly involved in a petrol theft incident.

    Came across this little ditty. It reminded me of someone:

    Pity The Bitter Optimist

     

    Pity the bitter optimist,
    He wants to rant and shake his fist,
    But just can’t seem to bring himself to do so,
    He doesn’t want to think the best,
    He knows the world’s completely messed,
    From his mouth it never quite rings true though,
    He’s certainly no giddy fool,
    Thinks cynical is kind of cool,
    But is cursed to always find the silver lining,
    He’s tried to practice sneer and scowl,
    Even worked up an evil growl,
    Still he knows somewhere the sun is always shining,
    He makes his outside sort of tough,
    Wears shades and reads the darker stuff,
    But somewhere inside lives Little Orphan Annie,
    He’s even tried to turn to drink,
    He thought it’d make him mean I think,
    Found his ability to laugh is near uncanny,
    So if you are pessimistic,
    I’m afraid to him it won’t stick,
    Despite the twisted ruse he tries so oft to borrow,
    Yes his charade is oh so thin,
    For very much to his chagrin,
    He can’t help but hope for better things tomorrow.

    I have always maintained that this is a classy and educational thread and your poem fits in nicely with that view.

    Thank you Neil. 

    Happily , or should it be sadly, I do see something of my wonderful and vile self in this verse

    I shall now proceed to thrash the maid and then sit down and have a jolly good cry.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
