Spot on. Although I think Kerrs main issue is the piss, just like his old man.

Me thinks Daniel may be mixing something with his booze...…….

If he was on the ice I don’t reckon he’d be sleeping on the footpath!

Getting back to the thread title, apparently Tim Kelly’s kids are asking for the Eagles song to be repeatedly played. Yep, that’s important news.....ffs!!

There is probably some accuracy in what you say abt the WCE but I would suggest that they like the mining companies and other large employers of young men have learnt a lot since the early 90's and both deal with it very much differently as time has elapsed.

I think flogging the WCE because the small group of personnel have issues is a bit harsh, do you flog the banks, the companies in general for their employees in the same situation. The answer to that is clearly no given that those people don't have the same profile.

As for the thread header why are we surprised in any way how the worst reports anything!

Unfortunately there were numerous instances where the club was made aware - it deliberately did nothing
well nothing until the druggies started performing in open public view & it became common knowledge that cops were surveilling some and the journos got into it
Not too many big companies would take that stance mate

Sidewalk, or Footpath? Do we now refer to everything by the American words. More and more now I am seeing and hearing porch instead of verandah.

I think I might have inspired STD in the What’s your top ten movie list topic and he’s had a few sherries, opened his video library and got his eyes glued to Reece Witherspoon in Walk the Line. Definitely got that deep southern American slang down pat.

Yep! One of my big gripes.

Again you quite right abt how they dealt with it, my point is that they and other large organisations deal with it in a much better way and rather than ignore it they deal with it.

One that drives me insane and has taken our game over completely now is "Fans" instead of supporters. Even most of the fine folk on here say it.

To be honest Tiger of old, there’s an absolute heap of Americanisms that are destroying our very unique Australian slant on the English language. It annoys the crap out of me, but I guess that’s a topic for another thread.
