Hah! Thanks Trash - I am now working out who to pick. What's relaly embarrasing is that I am in the work tipping. But hubby picks those, cause Mr12 is in it too, and the winner out of them gets bragging rights:shakehead:

Yes - my sister has been saying it 'all the way to the bank'. As in - 'I go for Geelong' - and she'll say - 'I'll give you Geelong all the way to the bank'.

Dont know many Victorians who dont follow it! Has a lot to do with being brought up around it. We lived only blocks away from our oval. Went to high school just behind it and watched practice every Thursday afternoon. We lived it!:rollthoseeyes:

I am already part of this comp with my work. I am glad the site send an email reminder on Fridays!

I was pleased as punch to get 7 tips correct over the weekend... only to get trumped by Kate who got 8!!! Niiiiiice.

While I don't follow AFL now I used to be a mad Adelaide fan (Loola you'd be proud!) :chuckle: because I went over there for my birthday one year and fell in love with the place and even before that i always wanted to go to Adelaide- i don't know why :question: I also liked North Melbourne and St Kilda.

I'm not sure what to think. A part of me thinks it was a big ploy to get sympathy another part of me felt sorry for him. I am quite confused by the entire saga. He obviously has big issues.

I frankly have no sympathy for the guy. Between his past sexual harassment charges and his current violence towards his girlfriend and his violence towards others he deserves all the punishment he gets!

Staying with him?

emmy
01-04-2008, 11:39 AM
Women stay in abusive relationships for a variety of reasons, they don't deserve to be punished though! He is the one who beat her up.

loolabelle
01-04-2008, 11:41 AM
Maybe Celeste means something like, people will treat you how you let them treat you for the majority??

Celeste(Staff)
01-04-2008, 11:46 AM
I certainly didn't mean that anyone deserves to be treated like that. He has (allegedly) harmed her many times and if she stays with him through it I just don't have a whole heap of sympathy. I imagine there would be some perks in staying with Wayne Carey (particularly if she is as keen on coke as he is) and it just makes me wonder why she would stay with him.

pinkcupcake
01-04-2008, 12:13 PM
I agree she should get out. However it sounds as though she might have some huge issues with drug and alcohol abuse also. Lets just hope that as human beings they can both get the help that they need in order to move on and live decent productive lives.

It always amazes me that people who have the world at their feet seem to always come undone with drug and alcohol abuse at some point.

Rosie
01-04-2008, 12:47 PM
Abused women do not think in the same way that non-abused women do. And addicts don't think the same way as non-addicts do. It's sad, but it's a fact.

If they (Carey & his lady friend) sincerely wish to get better, good luck to 'em. If not, let 'em rot. Out of sight, mind and earshot please.:whipcrack:

Abused women do not think in the same way that non-abused women do. And addicts don't think the same way as non-addicts do. It's sad, but it's a fact.

Having been exposed to both, spot on and spot on.

I went to Crows and Carlton on Saturday - sooooooooooooo good (if you take out the fact I had to sit outside for the first 1 1/2 quaters as my friends who had the tickets were running incredbly late, and losers were walking past going, "hey Adelaide girl, you watch the game from in there!")

My brother went to Crows game on Saturday and managed to get into the change rooms afterwards. He and Mum are die hard Adelaide fans.

He has jumpers signed by the entire team. One od Andrew Mcleods jumpers, a pair of Riccuito's boots etc etc.

Mum, Dad and my brother went to a game in Adelaide a couple of seasons ago. Mum and brother had their Adeliade gear on and Dad had his Essendon scarf on. They were waiting for a cab to take them to AAMI Stadium when a bus pulls over. It was crowded with Adelaide Crows fans. They pulled Mum and my Brother onto the bus and left Dad on the side of the road! :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:
