    Listening to SEN around 10.30 this morning, one of their regular commentators was on (missed who it was) and they picked Port Adelaide and Melbourne to be the big improvers in 2016.

    Happy Christmas. I'm more desperate than disparate.

    And it tends to go a bit mushy. You can always make a banana cake from the bad ones.

    Bananas. This thread was about them once, back in the good old days.

    Upgrade install. My wife's laptop wouldn't update to Win 10 using the update channel because the updater wouldn't update itself beforehand. The install off the USB stick solved all the problems. I've lent the USB stick to two other people as well, and they've had no problems either. The download tool is at https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10. You can use it on multiple computers and keep the USB in case you have to re-install later.

    Haven't had a problem with Win 10 on five computers I've installed it on. Three were running Win 7, two on Win 8. I downloaded it from Microsoft to a USB stick and you can use that like an install disk on any computer (genuine copy of Windows required). Saves downloading it on slow internet connections every time and stuffing around with the upgrader.

    Thanks.

    I'm using a PC, Windows 10, Firefox. Here's my editor window.

    The "<>" key is for inserting code. I am looking for the switch that toggles the editor between HTML text and the normal 'WYSIWYG' editor. It used to be on the very left top of the editor window and looked like a light switch. There is no 'source' key anywhere on my editor, although if it existed it appears that would do the same job. I've noticed some other IP Board editors have extra buttons like subscript and superscript. There must be some things that you can globally turn on and off.

    I still can't find the "Source" button.
  11. mauriesy
    Is there? I'm looking hard.
  12. mauriesy
    Did something happen to the little toggle switch that allowed you to go to the basic text/HTML editor?

    Sounds like the Forces of Dusty trying to mitigate the seriousness of events.

    Gee there was a lot of love for Moloney as captain in that thread!

    The Age, December 8: "Richmond's Dustin Martin threatened to stab a fellow restaurant patron with a chopstick after she told the drunken Tiger to stop acting offensively at a Chapel Street eatery on Saturday night, according to a club source. Martin was sitting at the bar with a friend and, it is understood, was drunk, loud and offensive." Foxsports, December 8: "KEVIN Bartlett believes the club should ban star midfielder Dustin Martin for 12 months after his drunken outburst in a Chapel Street restaurant. AFL.com.au: "Dustin Martin 'deeply embarrassed' after drunken night and chopstick threat ... "Regrettably, I was intoxicated and that in itself is completely unacceptable," Martin said. I think it's perfectly reasonable to draw the conclusion that "Martin was drunk". If Martin wasn't drunk, it's even worse for him because he therefore threatened her in full awareness of what he was doing.

    Ultimately it's Martin's responsibility. But there could have been some procedures in place that might have prevented it. 'Responsible Serving of Alcohol' is a farce if someone is allowed to keep drinking in any establishment when they are clearly drunk. That's what RSA is meant for.

    I didn't say 'evidence', I said 'indication. I used 'maybe' three times to indicate there were plenty of different possible scenarios, non of them proven. In the last paragraph I said 'either ...' and I said 'or previous places'. You could stop attributing things to me I never said.
  18. mauriesy
    Trouble is you relate this story as if it equates to the Martin situation, when it most likely has nothing to do with it in terms of similarity. There's no indication that the woman in Martin's case was at all 'smug' and it's reprehensible to imply it. As for the woman approaching Martin, why isn't her business if she was affected by the behaviour and thought it loud and obnoxious? Good on her for not being backward in coming forward. Maybe the restaurant hadn't done anything. Maybe the staff were also intimidated by Martin's behaviour. Maybe most of the staff were women. Either the restaurant (or previous places) had been serving too many drinks to Martin, or his friends had been ignoring his drinking (or worse, buying him drinks). One is a failure of RSA, the other is mates not caring and not "looking after their mate".

    I can't see in that article where it says 'returning to'. It says 'moving to'.

    It was imposed by the AFL under their Anti-gambling Code (six weeks were suspended). I'm waiting for the police to charge Martin with a range of offences. We'll see what the AFL and RFC do then.
  21. mauriesy
    I agree, but it's not the issue in this case. The issue here is a drunken, violent, aggressive footballer, not the gender of the person who complained.
  22. mauriesy
    Since Heath Shaw got 14 weeks suspension and a $20,000 fine for laying a $10 bet on the first goal kicker of a match, I'll be eagerly waiting to see how Richmond and the AFL equate that with a violent incident against a woman in a restaurant.
  23. mauriesy
    Don't get what ... that all violence is bad?
  24. mauriesy
    I said by omission.
  25. mauriesy
    The original issue in this case was with a drunken footballer who was approached by someone in a pub and became violent when asked to 'tone it down'. This is not a case of domestic violence or workplace harrassment against a 'group'. If a male had gone up to complain, I'd suggest Dustin Martin's aggressive reaction would probably have been the same. I'd therefore hope that a male would have received the same public support in this scenario, and that Martin's behaviour would receive the same condemnation. I somehow doubt it though, because we generally tend to believe that males are 'protectors' and 'boys will be boys'.
