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.

Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

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?

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 :)

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:

Spot on bb

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.

You should try the USA, OD......You hold a door open for them and they just walk through....No "Thanks" no nothing.....You hail a cab and they just push you out of the way and go

Everyone is just to busy for manners ....Very sad really....

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.

Stop trying to pimp my sister DC. Biffen will be displeased.

She's lazy and I'm thinking of retiring her.

Anyway-shes far too educated for my liking.

Heirs and Graces.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
