hardtack

the soft attitude that constantly pervades & infects our players & recruits from within, & turns them into nice business types, but removes they're animal instincts which they need to be warriors of the footy field. it turns young supermen into Clark Kents & Jimmy Olsens.

He's just feeling a little negative today, that's all.

Drone; even worse, a drone suffering from narcissistic personality disorder. Oh, and if straw clutching was an olympic sport, you would be a gold medalist... I simply refuted your claim. Nice to see you dodge the other part of my post: "Oh, and I'd love to see where you get your "trillions" of dollars spent on climate change figure from."

Rather than talk about it, we as a family actually give; just as we are prepared to give when it comes to securing a better environment. Judging by your posts, you see no further than your wallet. Oh, and I'd love to see where you get your "trillions" of dollars spent on climate change figure from.

Yes, but there are those who refuse to accept such diagnosis... am I right on that count ENYAW?

Stop it or you'll go blind! I find it rather ironic that you say this while calling others drones. And sorry, but I do not for one second believe that you care in the least about the poverty stricken.

And you're so desperate to hang on to your pennies that you choose to believe anything that is presented as science (provided it coincides with your point of view).

I'd like you to report to all of the signatories to the new agreement... they obviously need your expertise and insight (once they come to terms with your arrogance of course). The UoCS comprises experts in the area of global science and it is their belief that the sun has had nothing to do with the continued warming over the past 6 decades... good enough for me.

"...although fluctuations in the amount of solar energy reaching our atmosphere do influence our climate, the global warming trend of the past six decades cannot be attributed to changes in the sun" Caption for the image: "Heat-trapping emissions (greenhouse gases) far outweigh the effects of other drivers acting on Earth’s climate.

I missed that concert... I went to the first Sunbury in January 1972... interesting sums it up best, I think. Some great music, but lots of drunk yobbos beating the crap out of each other and lots of stoners who didn't seem to know where they were.

Certainly a far cry from Sunbury where they were all but run out of town :-)

Sorry PD, I don't consider myself a target as I don't have an over-inflated view of myself and my opinions... besides, I would hate to get into a demarcation dispute with you on that ground.

No, I'm a drone, remember... you do some searching and educate yourself. You do know how to use Google I assume.

I'm not really interested in your physical afflictions PD.

What do you expect from a "Drone" DC ;-)

The first three lines in the original post read: "As much as David Bowie's loss was very sad, I think Glen Freys contribution to MOR was sensational! A great musician in his own right he formed with the Eagles that West coast sound which has become iconoclastic to the style of the sensational seventies! The music still is fresh alive and vibrant today as then." The topic started off belittling Bowie's contribution to music as compared to Frey's and then went on to discuss the music of the Eagles. Those three lines invited the discussion the followed regarding the value of The Eagles' music. Yes, his death was a sad thing, but as WYL said, we all die... the only difference is that we non-celebrities will go unnoticed in our passing, except by those to whom we are closest (as it should be).

How about you head off and work as a volunteer in some of these poverty stricken areas... perhaps you might like to look into why they are poverty stricken while you are at it; you might find that it has quite a bit to do with, among other things, environmental degradation. And this is just a wild guess, but I get the feeling that by the way you seem to have a death grip on your finances, I somehow doubt you are contributing much in assistance to these poverty stricken you care so much about.

Yes, there was great music produced throughout the 70's, but following on from the consistently brilliant music produced in the 60's, the 70's was always going to be somewhat "boring".

Sorry Picket, but The Eagles epitomised almost everything I hated about 70's music which never got interesting until the last 3 years of the decade... the decade that was the 70's I like to think of as music's "beige period".

To my mind, Murder Ballads is one of the greatest albums recorded... however, I'm afraid Queen have never done it for me... in fact, I would go so far as to say their supposed masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most pompous pieces of crap ever committed to vinyl/CD.

And as I mentioned earlier, the drummer from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Dallas Taylor died the same day as Frey. Speaking of Mott the Hoople, the guitarist in the band I moved to Sydney to become a part of, was the first cousin of their guitarist Mick Ralphs... he was better known for his work in Bad Company. I loved Mott the Hoople.

Was never a fan of The Eagles, but sad none-the-less... another to pass on today was Dallas Taylor, the drummer for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young who died of unknown causes aged 66.
