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.....

    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.

    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
