    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
