Crompton's the man

pretty sure biffo can supply you if you ask. that is if you're not too fussed about quality

It's just for a friend

Is he reliable?

Not yours either. A dictionary doesn't give 'metaphorical definition(s)' it gives meanings ... unless of course you had in mind Giambattista Vico's idea that all language is metaphorical, which I somehow doubt.

Perhaps it is.

All of life is, after all, but a stage.

I can also remember a recent contributor to Q & A also stating that all terrorism is just theatre

Possibly, therefore, nothing really means what it means

The side effects, notably, include "spontaneous erections"

Makes you wonder why they wanted to take the stuff in the first place.

Must have been for the tanning effect.

Is anyone aware what happens when females are injected?

Apart from darkened skin, is what I am inquiring.

And where do you source this type of thing, anyways ?

Pretty sure I remember a video of him visiting some less fortunate parts of the planet years ago and using his status and personality trying to help their inhabitants.

Can't say where but I was impressed (and surprised given where his abode was).

His drive to be somewhat different to your average yobbo is no new thing, I would observe.

Someone with some belief system?

A strong candidate for the vacant MessyDrugs coaching position

Ah's gots to know ......

Is that a real photo ?

Will contributions to the Save James Hird's Behind Fund be tax deductible ?

I predict both sides will claim vindication

Well I advocate that we could refuse to go onto the field and play against anyone suspected of wrongdoing.

The principal reason being principle.

Alexander Downer

You would think so but maybe Robinson really does want his day in court.

Can't see it happening either but it would be the only way we will get close to the truth.

I truly hope this goes all the way.

Robinson would have to be a member that extremely rare breed of humanity that values reputation and good name above reputation and family financial security.

Pr = [about the same as that of Freo winning the flag ]

Mutli quotes.. good to hear! I donhope the Dons (read Little/Hird) hubris has pushed them to this point and it all comes out in a court of law/media.

I have a distinct sensation that this outcome MUST NOT/cannot /WILL NOT be allowed to happen.

It is imperative that these matters are never explored and allowed to be cross-examined.

Wise heads will give their advice.

Settlement will be reached.

It's just about price.

Not actually sure about that..

Neither am I.

But I suspect the argument that the Club had failed in its duty of care "to him" would need an agile legal mind to develop and sustain.

Probably needs a defence lawyer - they are adept at this sort of thing

I don't see what is so depressing about it. Most here (not me) had the attitude of 'stop dreamin' Mitch will never play again' before this week. Well we haven't got him back, but we will get something, which is more than the nothing we had a week ago. Roos will take that something and turn into quality for the club, so I'm happy.

Fair point

Reminds me of my Babcock & Brown shares bought at $8.60

That's $10,000 I'll never see again.

Then some litigation firm starts a class action to recover some of the "lost" money and they want 50% of any recoveries.

Half is a bit steep, but my accountant says 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing so I signed up

We have the money to trump port, but given the state of our list we probably need to spend that cap space on getting 2-3 solid players to shore up our list.

Walker would be great, but we need more than big tex to turn this club around.

Daisy Thomas as well ?

Think they just hit an iceberg !

Were they given that as well ?

Bad umpiring

Do they ever revue these absurd decisions?

He Dunn it

When a 23yo DHS worker turns up on your daughter's doorstep with the information that if they continue to bring their children up as Demons supporters it will be viewed as psychological abuse and the kids will be repossessed for the welfare of the children

Hird: "I have never said anything publicly that I didn't believe to be true"

he says this under oath but also says he didn't agree/believe what he was 'told to say'.

Great fun watching him tie himself in knots.

I am not a LOR officianado but I have noticed Tony's comb over is becoming obvious; If that is what you mean?

Wrong !!!!

Gollum

( watch the footage)

You dont understand.

He is Tasmanian.

Just like Biff and BBO,its a normal trait for these islanders.

Are they really all like that ?

Nauseating

Typical

Insider mates-looking-after

Dismissive of Melbourne (who are they anyway?)

MRP attempt at black humour ( should that be African-American ?)

Glossed over putridity

Not exactly the first time

I'm overseas and it's late at night. I've rushed back from dinner to tune in. Can someone give me a short synopsis of the game to date. I gather from a quick look at some of the comments, I should have not skipped desert....

Go back to your dinner

Did anyone else watching tonight's ABC News notice how our PM's coiffure is styled to copy a film star from The Lord of the Rings ?

adam goodes waltzing around stupid haired hurley makes me smile

Someone make that into a gif!

No doubt Bomber will replay that several times at the post-match so they can all devise tactics to avoid looking like COMPLETE F€£KWITS in future
