  1. I guess you are entitled to your opinion and I would certainly agree that S.A. Tasmania, WA, Queensland and Victoria have led the charge towards affirmative action but the response of NSW and the Federal government has been a tragic, constantly contradictory joke. They certainly qualify for Gold Standard accreditation for Double Speak.
  2. On the ABC news tonight they quoted her creepy crawly nonsense from July, throughout August until today. In all of the prior statements she said there is no proof curfews solve anything. Today she announced a curfew. Um, about time, maybe, Gladys? Um, I know another politician who lives in NSW who constantly changes his tune, advice and position - but I have been warned not to make 'political' statements by Mr. Grapeviny so I won't.
  3. My wife has regular contact with her relatives in Lodz and Warsaw. They are all very critical of the current Polish government but my impression is that, like you say, the younger generations have embraced Vaccination.
  4. Hope he's okay and not in gaol.
  5. Even Lefties like me?
  6. Hi Jaded. I totally sympathize with you, but I also know that religious leaders from the Muslim community have also come out and chided the lawbreakers among them. As you say, people are trash - I'd qualify that with some people are trash. I learned that as a taxi driver when most of my passengers were good people who just wanted to get from A to B. Then there was the trash. When I look back, that element represented maybe .5%, probably a fair reflection of the people in any community who make up their own law when and if it pleases them.
  7. Better still at booking the cooks.
  8. Like the CPA: Communist Party of Australia. That's why I never wanted to become an accountant!
  9. They always are. It's called the CIA.
  10. Poor Leigh he's bleeding. Typical bulldust commentary. They say, Jackson started all this. Watch the 5 minutes prior to Matthews sniping Bruns and you'll see Geelong attacking repeatedly, Jackson flying for the mark and Ayres and Langford are behind him belting the crappers out of him. The umpires did sweet F.A about it. But, Jackson started it all of course, because he finally retaliated. You ask the commentators.
  11. Indefensible or not, it was bread and butter stuff in those AFL days. Grinter's coat hanger was de rigeuer, especially when practiced by many Hawthorn players.
  12. He wasn't alone in kicking the ball straight to a Crow's player.
  13. 6: Langdon 5: Salem 4: Fritsch 3: Gawn 2: Petracca 1: Spargo.
  14. Sparrow just needs a dose of self-confidence plus some reassurance from the coaches that he's got 'it', that he just needs to believe in himself.
  15. He was lucky: a bullet grazed his skull in Kharkov and he was flown back to Leipzig, he recovered, was sent to Bordeaux and Italy where he deserted because he could not stand any more bulldust. He was a good man. He tried to save a Russian prisoner he had taken, a boy his age, but he was ordered to shoot him. He walked away. Someone else did the deed. He was never punished for disobeying this order.
  16. I agree: my father was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in 1941. He was17. His first gig was the road to Stalingrad.
  17. Big Mc Cain would never have been a 'visitor' the the Hilton if he hadn't invaded a country called Vietnam.
  18. As I said many posts ago, in answer to the many billabong posts on this this thread: what has this got to do with racial vilification of the Aboriginal people of Australia? You've hit the nail on the head: suddenly we have Trump and umpires. WTF!
  19. He and I have history. Maybe I'm paranoid!
  20. So you're pointing the finger at me for using 'anachronistic' terminology and punctuation????And, presumably, for 'repeating empty platitudes'? ??? Wow! I would have though you might be sending this message to some of the people who argue strenuously against C.B and Dox, but no, you chose to focus on for me for the 'letter' of your law - after all, you are The Moderator - instead of the spirit of my posts. I'm not surprised because you and I have form in this regard. Great to see you're still in form, Grapeviney.
  21. What has this got to with the continuing racial abuse of Aborigines?
  22. Tell me one country where it's 'looking good' for 100% of the population???????To keep justifying your stand is pathetic and totally irrelevant to the topic of racial abuse and discrimination against our Aboriginal people.
  23. At least the so-called Tribunal has dismissed the Greene bulldust appeal. He should have been rubbed out for 2, as should have Selwood. And how the hell was the West Coast man able to get away with throating Sparrow?
