That wouldn’t suffice. They brought out the big guns last night at about 11pm. They *each had a go at that god-awful Celine Dion Titanic song. If I didn’t already hate that song with a passion, I do now.

*there’s six of them 😳

Your best bet is to make yourself known to them socially and then work on the actual issue. Vietnamese culture generally shows very little consideration for people unless there is a personal connection.

You don't have to marry their eldest son, though. The very next step down from that is to grab a box of in-season cherries from a proper grocer and knock on the door. This time of year cherries even overtake vitamins as the preferred checked baggage for Australia to Vietnam flights. 100% not kidding. Premium fruit is a Vietnamese social activity and they'll even be sharing on social media how great their neighbour is. You will be officially inducted into the circle of people to be considerate of.

From there eventually you'll be able to set some boundaries. As long as you don't marry their eldest son. Then you'll be expected to bring more cherries every time they karaoke.

    Only because society won't allow the kind of savagery that I would prefer to unleash upon people who don't respect basic boundaries.

    Curses upon the inventors of things like CCTV and forensics. I could have been such a great serial killer.

    Hi @redleg

    Thought this might interest you...

    These are the sort of world impacting issues we should be concerned about on DL and credit to you for raising it.

    We have enough of stupid footy cr-p on the other threads.

    BTW, I think the yellow is pineapple.

    I'm sorry if I've offended you in any manner . Now or in any post.

    Did I mention how wonderful you are?

    Back to the cricket. I’m so sick of seeing a petulant Steve Smith performance when he is given out. He blames everyone or everything but himself. And to stand in the middle of the pitch and stare after he was given out is just plain disrespectful and bad sportsmanship. He was a very good player- he no longer is. As for holding up play while a ball of sticky tape is removed from the sight screen area, was just a joke. Time for the selectors to look toward the future. Hopefully he can join Warner on the sidelines. He’s lost my respect as a player.

    I will say I'm glad Warner is stepping down. Not for any behavior issues but simply because he has been out of form for a very long time. Also I didn't get what divine right he had to some sort of send off. Maybe he deserves one but he didn't deserve in form anyway the right to keep playing until he could have a send off in Sydney.

    I'd bet it's just another rip off from the big food engineering corporations with no flavor and a boat load of chemical colouring. Not that I'm cynical about these things 

    Rest assured Mr Leg the world is safe with people like you and I addressing these big issues.

    Having lived in both Sydney and Melbourne, I've never understood the schedule of test matches in Oz.

    Sydney's weather is reliably rainy and should be the first cab of the rank in late November.

    Melbourne is reliably unreliable and should be the last in late Jan. But too much tradition too change now.

    Did Summers on Melbourne seem hotter when you were a kid?

    I remember water restrictions with buckets to fill up our clark pool and swimming Christmas day. 

    Visiting Melbourne...St kilda East where I grew up I was reminiscing about taking up street leaves from Great trees and burning them in the gutter. No such fun these days. Oh yes and the fireworks I could get at my local Milk Bar .

    Fireworks were the best entertainment money could buy.

    I'm seriously considering driving to the Territory to get some.

    I also noticed there aren't kids playing cricket in the street with bins like I did until the sun went down.

    Probably kids are all on the Internet buying laptops and phones.

     

    Sheesh.

    It's true. I think my parents were very negligent letting me and my siblings play outside as kids to all hours. It didn't seem to be on the radaar of most parents forty years ago.

    A pedophiles happy days were the seventies.

    Thanks for that sound advice! Cherries fix everything 🍒 😊

    I live in a small circular court, only eight houses, and the occupants of the other seven houses are Vietnamese. I have never in my life lived in such harmonious environs. They’re all so nice to me (I’m relatively new to the court) they’re super quiet (apart from that Karaoke do they held the other night, hopefully not a regular calendar fixture) and their little kids are polite and well-behaved, not a single little sch!tt amongst them. Nonetheless, I’m thinking of doing the cherry thing, maybe in a couple of weeks when it’s New Year.

    As for me marrying the oldest son of any of the families… yeah nah not gonna happen. But my 18yo son has noticed one of them has a beautiful daughter about his age so ya never know 🥰

    Couldn’t agree more! I’m reluctant to ever say as much though since you can’t touch the golden boy. His otherworldly talent is undeniable, but personally I have never warmed to him. More so with Warner… can’t stand him. I’m on Team Mitch Johnson all the way.

    The fruit giving tradition is common in other parts of Asia as well. Koreans love to gift pears, apples and strawberries. Mmm Korean pears ... 🤤

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
