Ian said he didn’t speak to Erin about her relationship with Simon but he did speak to Simon about it.
He was aware of some difficulties, including that they were separated.
When Erin and Simon moved to Bena, near Korumburra, after living in Western Australia, Ian said he and Heather went to visit them on one occasion.
Prior to July 2023, Ian said he been at family events with Erin, usually at Don and Gail’s home.
He said he was invited to the July 29 lunch via his wife at a church service, a week or two before the lunch.
“I was still in the main body of the church. (Heather) came through from the hall and told me that we’d been invited to Erin’s home,” he said.
“She was fairly excited.”
He and his wife wondered about the reason for the lunch and were “very happy to be invited”.
“It seemed like maybe our relationship with Erin was going to improve,” he said.

Today would have been my father's 101st birthday. At his last birthday at age 80, he did not look good. He died three months later. It really was his time. He and my mum were able to visit me here twice. They loved it. Watching my dad try to eat a meat pie with sauce dripping down his chin will always be a happy memory.

 

[Chicago1]

Just saw a news report on SBS's American ABC News about a man and his dog being killed by a bear in a forest preserve. Unfortunately the vision had a park ranger showing up at the scene carrying a Macca's bag.

 

[Shell]

Damn thats bad.


I thought bear fatalities were quite rare.

 

[Shell]

I love it how australia has got the rep for "everything can kill you"


Er. Havent seen a spider in over 5 years. Havent seen a snake in the wild, ever. Havent seen anything.


But go over to the States, its like bears, cougars can rip your ****ing head off and gut you.

 

[Shell]

Here just stay out of the Ocean and waterholes up north and you are fine.

Wth is this

Clearly, there are sensitive personal issues to take into account and one of the most respected analysts in the game, Melbourne champion Garry Lyon, noted Rioli was playing “angry” this year on Fox Footy’s AFL360. Perhaps he needs a spell, Lyon said. A worthy suggestion.

But some of the game’s most senior club officials believe the league is making it up as they go along on the player punishment front.

Whether it is the GWS Giants’ inappropriate dress-ups, the homophobic slurs from last year, Ken Hinkley’s plane jibe, or Nick Watson and Bailey Smith

’s middle-finger salutes, the league was quick to flash its badge on the standards and behaviours expected of its stars and coaches.

 

[Shell]

Am I living under a rock? First I've heard about this dickhead.

 

[Shell]

Something which helps the league come down with more consistency and clarity on players getting into trouble across the weekend rather than arbitrary outcomes like the four-match suspension for Giant Josh Fahey for inappropriate acts on a sex doll and the three-match suspension to Port’s Jeremy Finlayson

for his homophobic slur.

As one senior figure said tongue in cheek, would the GWS players have received a lesser penalty if they did a line of cocaine?

So, if those GWS dress-up penalties were firm, why does Rioli get nothing for making a serious threat about Dale’s personal safety interstate this weekend?

It is guesswork.

2013. Quiz.

What US company becomes the biggest via revenue, on the Fortune 500 list

Chicago1???

 

[Shell]

No not Chicago

 

[Shell]

I'm taking the day off tomorrow. I'm so fed up

 

[Shell]

I feel like I am "this close" to losing my shit at workmates

Am I living under a rock? First I've heard about this dickhead.

Earlier in the year when Port played Hawthorn, Rioli ran into an open goal and "showed" the ball to the Hawthorn players before he kicked the goal. After the match he posted online how much he hated Hawthorn because of how they had treated his family. He then received racial abuse online so he took time off, (3 days?).

On the weekend he was fined for striking a Bulldogs player. He apparently posted online a threatening comment to that Bulldogs player something like Be Careful when you leave the hotel.

When he played for the Eagles and was being drug tested, he used Gatorade as his urine sample. He was obviously caught and received a 2 year (?) suspension.

What a ****ing knob.

So it was after the game, when everyone is meant to be "calmed down" and he does that. Classy.

This morning I rewatched when she spoke to the media right after it happened, comes across as acting. Better off keeping quiet..

Havent seen a snake in the wild, ever. Havent seen anything.

I find that surprising! Even living in the city.

 

[Kram]

Jfc you should've seen the size of the one in my backyard a couple of years ago.

The good think about them though is they are shy creatures that just want to slither away. Only issue would be if one is accidently cornered or something, stepped on..

 

[Kram]

Cats usually beat snakes in a fight because they have quicker reflexes.

 

[Shell]

Nope. And been to the Otways, etc plenty of times. Plenty
