old dee

Probably the main problem in Australia too Saty.But that is another subject.

My "Like" button has just been pushed

First time I went was Jan 1976 dc Have been back a number of times since. It has under gone a massive change in that time. Most for the Worse IMO. Don't like it now. Main problem is too many yobo Aussies.

I am struggling to find something to be intolerant about grandchildren.They are our future R&B Now I have just got to work out how to make mine dees fans. Just had a radical thought We could start winning lots of games!

Humans are complex creatures Bossdog

Wish I had a "like" button

All correct dee-luded but it did take a change of Government as well.

The big one for me is they are "Heroes" No they are well paid sportsmen.

It is difficult to buy non Australian bananas in Australia. It is the last great trade Protection for Aussie farmers.

I have thought lots about that over the last ten years following wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hard to believe that today's society would march in the streets but perhaps I under estimate them.

The staggering part for me now Nasher is you have to be in the 60+ age group to have been or been eligible for the draft. ( it seems like a decade ago ) No words that I can use describe the period. It was very unequal, if your number came up you got drafted and if it didn't you went about your normal life. I have a number of friend / Acquaintances that went to Vietnam. I can safely say no one I now came back the same as when they went. Some worse than others but all changed to some degree.

I know a number Bossdog Hope you are ok with it now!

No please don't I understand and have a Balinese son in law. Lovely guy. And to the others, most of the people on this earth live in third world countries. You have no choice in where you were born. A little empathy for others would go a long way.

My best mate and I missed on the same day Robbie.Was a hell of a night !

I am not a fan C&B however he has had more than 6 games.The figure is 24 games and to be fair he has missed the best part of two seasons with serious leg injuries etc.

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.

I hope your "many" is correct

I hope Tami has a team to work with her at the MFC. Seems a job that needs way more than one person.

Spot on bbI 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.

Jury is still out with me. He is on a "lets see how they go under PR" list of about twelve. I will make my decision by about the end of July 2014.

probably subcontracts the service to PR and gets the tax level down.

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.

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"

Is the lack of manners in society getting worse Or am I getting less tolerant?

You know I dislike with intensity the iPad method of spelling correction. Of course it would help considerably if I could spell in the first place!
