Darren Goldspink - Where Chickens Dare

[Biffinator]

Comrades.

Recently, with my much battered SU-152 firmly buttoned up, I re-visited some old posts, and memory lane itself.

There has been a good deal written about Darren Goldspink on this forum over the past twelve months, accompanied by a good deal of chest-beating, a gnashing and a grinding of teeth, a wobbling of hairy butt-holes and many an invocation to bring the Beast into gun-range.

Yes indeed

I am not conversant with the current legislaton around libel. I suggest it is a good thing that Moderators give fair warning in a thread at the top of the page: if we cross the line, we are on our own.

So a few weeks ago I was driving back home from the Lara Asbestos factory and listening to SEN when lo and behold, Darren Goldspink appeared for what appears to be a regular session with Francis and the Ox.

Regular, mind you.

Moreover, he took calls from the public.

Breathlessly - perhaps from the unfiltered coffin nails - I waited for any number of self-proclaimed Bay 13 heavyweights to ring him up and chastise him, to say nothing of offering a lurid comment on his sexual preferences and his degree of integrity.

But it was all very placid, if not ho hum.

I have now heard him on SEN a number of times, all to the same boring end. Perhaps his B13 adversaries have already managed to speak to Goldspink at another session and left his reputation in tatters: but surely this would have been reported back to us, again, with many a thumping of a chest.

So where does that leave us?

Looking back on all the vitriol, it is hard to repudiate the assessment that it all just rhetoric, feather weight if not bantam weight by nature.

I am happy to be refuted by deeds, not actions. SEN - 03 9429 1116

For those who undertake this assignment, make sure you have access to Legal Aid or a lawyer in the family if you are going to repeat some of the stuff that has been said about him .

Where chickens dare, Biffinator fears to tread.

I'm no lawyer, but from my Grade 5 legal studies I would have thought that inciting people to libel was a crime in itself. And your post is the talk back radio equivalent of the Nuremberg rallies.

But don't worry Boffinator, you have the old latin maxim on your side:

"De minimus non curat lex."

"Hugh Jorgen" I have a fair idea of where you were at 3pm on November 25 1983 !!!

Now all I need is Investigator to wade into this thread.

Nice try and well done.

I would hazard to guess that SEN screen the calls and would not put anyone to air that would leave his reputation in "tatters".

All righty then.

Well said Biff.

(PS I finally got on here)

[oogac]

"De minimus non curat lex."

About least not attention law:confused:

Admittedly my Latin is not that great
infact its not existent.

"Vos guys es fragor mihi sursum"

:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

Keep up the good work

"De minimus non curat lex."

Good enough

but strictly speaking

of little [things (referential object)] negative, care the law...or move the subject as the latin will always post the modifiers first

(The) Law isnt worried (antonym care) by small things

Nice touch in context Jurgen

"Vos guys es fragor mihi sursum"
oogac,

I am sure they don't, you are on the money mate but..

My heart gets broken every weekend:thumbsu:

Usually translated as: "The law does not concern itself with trifles."

But I've heard that Biffinator puts a whole bottle of sherry in his trifle, as evidenced by some of his more ponderous rants. Cause for concern indeed.

Biff, my comment re metaphors.

RP, if from my translation

The law isnt worried by small things

becomes "usually"

The law does not concern itself with trifles

There is an obvious context for the saying. Out of interest, would you post this context please.

Secondly, 'de minimus' cannot becomes trifles without this context, or usage. To be sure, 'little things' and 'trifles' are exactly the same excepting one is a literal translation and the other an emphasis viz context of the unimportance of these little things or trifles as you prefer. Trifles is far too analogous to little things (and as a plural noun little cannot stand without my word 'things') but necessarily dismissive and english has a far greater depth of vocabulary than the latin to accommodate that word without some interpretative efforts on the translation. Hence the context. Which is what....please. Gotta be some law or legal studies 101 thing

Correctomundo Dapto. The context is some legal studies. I think it was some Oxford type on the High Court bench in England who offered my version of the translation and this is the one passed down to would be lawyers.

It also survives in a joke about Tira Misu in the prohibition days of the Darwin restaurant scene. But that's another story.

Sorry if you took my comment to be a criticism of your translation. It wasn't meant to be. I'm surprised that there are latin scholars on Bay 13. Perhaps you can lead a thread on latin team song translations. Or at least a chant of "Clemens est in horto" from behind the goal posts.

Now Rodger, putting aside for one moment the stylistic similarites between yourself and Hugh Jorgen - who seems to have disappeared for the moment - Pedactor is a surname that is new to me.

Could I please have an etimology of the surname?

Was there ever a Rodger the Pedactor, a Ranga Saxon King of post-Roman Britain?

Did Edgar Allan Poe ever write a story: the Fall of the House of Pedactor?

Did Gilbert and Sullivan ever collaborate on HMS Pedactor?

And as you contemplate these question, please also be aware that I am after a new source of grog: the illegal liquor-stil outside the back of my humpie recently blew up and it has pissed off the local council no end.

They tend not to like mushroom clouds.

It has to be said, however that such experiences are not uncommon when the output has the same octane levels as aviation fuel and Brutus, my dog with a bad infestation of worms, often rubs his ass against the equipment (say no to static electricity). What a bugger, eh!

Now, to continue your Cambridge Latin Primer analogy, what would Caecilius, or Metella, or Grummio, or Scylax (the protector of the House and Household) do under such circumstances, to say nothing of the SEN Murmillo, Darren Goldspink himself?

Dearest Biff,

Alas (Eheu?), there was no Rodger the Pedactor. But there was Pedactor the Rodgerer. A man of many progeny, of whom I am one. It would please me no end to lend my lineage to your post-Roman Britain fantasy, but the name Pedactor is of much more recent origin. It first appears in the character list for the Broadway musical version of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective - using the variant "Podactor". But over the intervening centuries it became "Pedactor" in the Australian line. There are still some "Podactors" on Pitcairn Island, but they don't follow AFL. My great uncle Hector Pedactor played CHB for the Bunyip under 19's - but his promising career was cut short when he rolled his Sunshine Harvester on the way home from a game.

I'm sure if Poe or Sullivan & Co did any Pedacting, you'd know about it. I'll take your question as a "no".

"Hugh Jorgen" I have a fair idea of where you were at 3pm on November 25 1983 !!!

Biffinator.

I was 10 years old, so it's a fair bet I was on my way home from school. Who were you? The lollypop man?

...... Darren Goldspink appeared for what appears to be a regular session with Francis and the Ox.....

On topic, I must say that I have heard Goldspink once or twice myself and it was ho humm as you say. No personality fraud at play here, he comes across as dry and and very droll. Umpiried too many games and it has taken its toll.

Doubt it will last. Maybe you should ship one of the vintages from the still pre-explosion Biff. Might get him going a bit.

Not much clucking though. A happy death perhaps.

No Rog, not all. In any case the translations seemed to agree.

A Happy Death indeed.

Yes Dapto, I agree.

Putting aside for one moment Rodger Pedactor and his controversial fourth cousin, Brother Bumbora Pedactor - Venezuala's fourth holiest mystic - I doubt that the Goldspink stint will last.

Personally, I've never forgiven Goldy for sledging Richo in Round 15 at Subiaco in 2005. For an umpire to start chanting "chewy on your boot" as Richo lined up for goal was totally out of order.

Mind you, I hear that Goldy is a broken man these days. He's paranoid that someone is out to get him. It was reported that recently, in a food court, after sitting down with some mates for a bowl of pasta, he realised he'd left his drink on the Bain Marie cabinet of the food outlet, some 100 metres away. Goldy carted his lunch with him to the counter and back!! He didn't even trust his mates. What were they going to do? Put poison in his penne? It must be very stressful living your life with that degree of paranoia.

I agree with you guys. He's not going to last long.

[Hodge2Franklin]

Go Goldsphincter !!!

[Hugh Jorgen]

Now Rodger, putting aside for one moment the stylistic similarites between yourself and Hugh Jorgen.

Now, to continue your Cambridge Latin Primer analogy, what would Caecilius, or Metella, or Grummio, or Scylax (the protector of the House and Household) do under such circumstances, to say nothing of the SEN Murmillo, Darren Goldspink himself?

Taking your last point first, I think in any given situation the Spinkster (or as he is affectionately known by H2F, the Sphincter) would award a 50 metre penalty. Caecilius and ("he has a wife, you know") Metella would look on from the stands, jeering and giving the thumbs down signal - thereby indicating that the gladiators should put the umpire out of his misery. Grummio was the slave, if I recall correctly, so he would not be permitted to attend the Colosseum. Scylax ("Caverem Canis") would later play the role of Damien's birth mother in the Omen trilogy.

As for any similarity between Pedactor and myself, the characters in this thread are fictitious and any similarity with real individuals, alive or dead, is purely coincidental. Having said that, most of me is based on a true story and only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Take your pick.

In principle, HJ, I usually refuse to deal with posters who have a Rolf Harris avatar.

They usually have "hard-to-meet-needs."

Ok, so Dazza is not going to cut it on the radio, and on the basis of what you say above, he is not much chop as a gladiator.

So what is he going to do with his time?

I recently came across a magazine called Bacon Busters. Look it up HJ. This is its scope:

BACON BUSTERS MAGAZINE : Australia’s only magazine dedicated to pig hunting, Bacon Busters has now become an icon on the hog hunting scene in this country. Appealing to a wide audience, but particularly to males in the 15-40 age bracket and living in rural areas of Australia (especially South Australia) Bacon Busters was first published annually in 1995. It is now published four times a year due to popular demand. Bacon Busters content includes readers' short stories, how-to articles, pig hunting features, technical advice, pig dog profiles and Australia's biggest collection of pig hunting photos. Not to mention the famous Babes & Boars section!

Now perhaps Dazza could take up the pen and start writing articles such as "Big Boars - Turning Swine into Salami."

What do you think?

And I hesitate to ask this question more widely: does anyone actually subcribe to this mag?

West Horshamites - 'fess us !!!!

I think its quite clear from H2F's post that Dazza has a promising career as a Gert Frobe type villain in gay remakes of James Bond movies with titles like "Goldsphincter" and "The Man with the Golden Bum".
