    So many bad experiences, so many. And yet the message hasn't sunk in yet for Meth Coasters. Drugs are bad for you!
  2. @Bitter but optimistic I applaud you for your tuppence and your kindness. I do have a different perspective though. Accuracy in language and writing is very important as even the slightest of errors/omissions/misinterpretations can lead to a profound miscommunication. Take, for example, the Crowded House classic "Weather with you". Is this a misspelling? Has the music publishing house applied an interpretation that misconstrues what these New Zealanders might actually be saying? As Kiwis, it is possible that the song may actually be about the constant companionship between a person and their male castrated sheep..."every where you go you always take the wether with you". Looked upon it from this perspective, there could even be a hint of resentment from the original lyricist towards this sheep; take 'the' wether with you, as opposed to the less hostile 'your' wether with you. Hopefully I have illustrated how a tiny misspelling of one word, an additional 'a' in wether, has the potential to dramatically alter the narrative.
  3. Go easy on @BangBnagBang, it's probably just a ytpo.
  4. Precious little anyway. Daisy Pearce being the exception; a Thursday night specialist.
  5. What can we do? SFA! I try not let it worry me too much. However, it did seem that the commentary box was on the verge of starting up the chant St.Kilda 👏👏👏 St.Kilda 👏👏👏

    The word you're looking for is "flair".

    EXCELLENT behaviour @WalkingCivilWar, keep up the good work!

    Does Johnny Bairstow have short-term memory loss? Day 3, takes the ball when keeping to a quick and takes a shy at the stumps when Marnus Labuschange is batting. Day 5, when the boot is on the other foot, "it's not in the spirit of the game". You reap what you sow.

    Fatigue certainly is a factor...I'm tired of watching us kick points.

    Sad but true.
  11. I can recall when Formula 1 was going to be 'dead and buried' because tobacco advertising was about to get banned..
  12. Nanny's prescribe sugar.
  13. It's also a good example of what we could do. In Taylor and Lamb we trust.

    Heard about this bloke but never met him. Word on the street is that he is 'a colourful racing identity'.
  15. A bit harsh! It's an excellent place to bypass.
  16. What's the bet they use that grant to build an oddly shaped internet?
  17. But I KNOW that it's not a 'boy's club', I KNOW that because THEY told me that it's not.
  18. Yes, that wonderful day where the Channel 7 news ticker proclaimed Geelong winning to celebrate Corey's 300th game...just made it sweeter.

    DeGoey getting 3-weeks was 3/4 of the way to rationale, as much as I wanted him to be banned for life - or longer!
  20. Unlikely. It's their job to be coked to the eyeballs. The concept of being fatigued by 10pm simply wouldn't register.
  21. Identifying the problem is an important step in the self-improvement process. I wish you all the best @Grapeviney.

    Given that the Match Review Officer and Match Review Panel frequently frustrate and bewilder many of us, and that this tends to pollute other threads, I felt that 'the chaps' deserved their own home thread on Demonland. Surely there will be no lack of material.
  23. No, but I brought my owner to the game as guest. Does that count?
  24. @La Dee-vina Comedia I liken your comment to the TV show Utopia - I don't know whether to laugh because it's so accurate or cry because it's so accurate.
  25. We may well have the same friends?
