Red, the minute someone does that, interrupt back with... Hang on a sec...just need a drink. Doesnt matter if you already have one either. You just walk away ( and not back !! lol )

So you don't think I should answer with, " what makes you think I am interested in this at a party or at any time for that matter".

Maybe I will just adopt your suggestion, it will be simpler.

    I have a new pet hate.

    On saturday night,at a party I attended, a bloke I know merely in passing, interrupted my conversation with some other guys, to spend about 15 minutes telling me of his latest court case and all the machinations thereof. My only comment to him before this began was "hello".

    I should have asked him what did I say or do, or what in my body language gave him the idea that I wanted 15 minutes of my life stolen without permission.

    What is it with people who just blurt out there life to you, without being asked and then reciprocate by asking you nothing of your own life. I have had enough and the next person who does it to me, will get a sharp rebuke and can watch my back as I walk away.

    did he keep saying "I love you mate" regularly?

    if so i think i have met the same guy

    next time interrupt him and introduce him to bbo's sister

    Is the lack of manners in society getting worse

    Or am I getting less tolerant?

    it is easier :)

    less annoyance...you remain calm , in control and seemingly happy. The idiot will just be standing there for 10 mins...lol

    If he decides to follow...and start over...just.. quietly into his direction....one word "NO" with a smile :)

    Probably spot on Redleg.

    After I typed the preceding I considered adding that.

    My wife would say it is all part of the ageing process, which may be true

    However I am confident it is part of a bigger society problem.

    "self obsession"

    did you try yawning a lot?

    if that fails snoring with your eyes closed whilst standing generally works?

    p.s. don't worry about bbo's sister's phone number.

    just have her photo handy and tell the guy she will be here soon and you would like him to meet her

    I know I am less tolerant now Bb ( read as grumpy )

    I am sure that as we age we have an increasing intolerance to things we have been fighting sometimes all our lives.

    Im actually starting to notice this in myself. At the same time whilst I appreciate sereneness and calm I have no particular interest in allowing stupidity of others etc to be either condoned or gotten away with.

    Its just plain amazing how few ppl get the most minimal of things right.

    Not us of course :rolleyes:

    Had the same problem with my former profession of which I am now retired.....

    I always found that a smoke was needed at that time.....and a good escape route as no one else smokes these days....

    I am surprised so many have worked out breathing and continue to hold on to the skill.

    An ex boss ( actually liked him )told me " I was only born with so many heart beats and I am not wasting any of them on him"

    Seems a reasonable philosophy to me.

    Have been there a number of times over the last 35 years for both work and pleasure.

    Guess what it is my belief that like Australia it has got worse over that time frame.

    Interesting item about this subject and the USA.

    Three years ago in Hawaii I went to Pearl harbour / Missouri battleship and wore a black baseball type cap.

    Totally by accident it had "HMAS Ballarat FFH_155" and a picture of the ship on it. Given to me by a friend.

    I could not work out why I was getting the Royal treatment all day.

    In the Bus on the way home an american of my dads vintage said to me where did you serve?

    Suddenly hit me.

    The Bloody cap they they thought I was a veteran.

    Veterans still get get big support.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
