    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: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
