[CALL ME SNAKE]

all 12 boys now out of the Cave !! and the Coach...
such a good result .. sadly the ordeal had one diver die in trying to save these kids .....
the coach of the team deserves a medal or something ...

meanwhile Don Pyke and the crows have enquired about caves in thailand for next seasons pre-season camp

I might not be up to speed with all the facts but I heard the cave excursion was poorly planned, it was a 4 hr hike inside, some of the boys were as young as 11 and some didn't have shoes on??
If that is true then the coach is a f*****g idiot.

Thank God they got all the kids out.
Amazing story of survival.

Nice mate yes hug your kids.

And also don't let your kids have a coach who thinks it's ok to walk 11 yr old boys 4hrs into a cave

i thought i read that the kids themselves went into the cave it was the coach who went looking for them then they got stuck ...

Maybe you are correct mate.

Hope so co's if he thought it was a good idea to take them in that far then he deserves the "Scotty Watters Juggernaut coach award" for being a moron.

i cant for the life of me find the article so i may be wrong but im sure i read the boys went out to "celebrate" and bout like $20 worth of lollies and soda's they went into the cave and didnt come back then the parents sent the coach to find them but he only found their bikes at the enterance so he went into the cave to go get them then the caves flooded... aparently the coach had been keeping the boys calm with medetation during the whole ordeal ... note hes only 25 himself...

i wish i could find where i read about it as now i cant find it im thinking the info might not have been correct

Lol $20 of lollies will f*** you up everytime.

Main thing is they all got out alive.
Very Sad about that rescuer who died though

Honestly, it doesn't need to do much. I am extremely blessed, in that it was just the necessary PD for me in my work. I'll get a promotion, which is great. But I don't need it to be published. Having said that, one of my preferred examiners just happens to be a major player in Baptist history publishing, so hey, you never know your luck.

I have done some research papers on a much smaller scale than a PhD. Even then, for much off the time it is hard hard work with more than its fair share of frustration. So it's a massive achievement completing something as rigorously reviewed as a PhD - congratulations.

What are people's thoughts about patronising businesses owned by opposition clubs?

There's a pool and gym in a regional centre where I am thinking of moving to that is operated by Aligned Leisure, which is owned by Richmond. Sort of puts me off it.

I just wanted to post this here. Please forgive my indulgence.
Without going into too much detail i have found the last 18 months of my life have pretty much brought me to my knees
for a whole host of reasons losing family loved ones unexpectedly, painful Divorce and just a general fall from grace in every way.
Thus found myself slipping more and more into darkness and have ostracized myself from the real world and many great friends.
I grew up having a close relationship with a cousin of mine but as so often happens life gets in the way and we lost touch over the years.
Just a couple of months ago he reached out to me after some more personal tragedy for me via facebook and wanted to reconnect and
befriend me again. Caught up in my own misery and determined to remain a recluse i did not respond.
This morning i learned he has been in a hospital very close to me the last 3 months and passed away in the early hours today.
Just feel like such a disgrace and such a fool for losing myself in my own narcissm.
The lesson here is love one another people.Peace....

Terrible situation mate. Honestly you need to see a mental health practitioner of some type as soon as you can. News like that can take a while to really hit home.

At the very least try https://www.beyondblue.org.au. They will be able to start you off as slowly as you like but any step forward is the right step.

i totally agree with this mate ...
dont just sit there and suffer in silence mate.. talk it out get some help there is nothing at all wrong with hitting a low point it can happen to anyone so its not something just on you, seek the help you need and talk to someone.. heck i dont know you personally but pm me and ill give you my number if you just wanna have a chat ...
honestly mate dont go it alone you have got many options to help you get through it as Nutsgum said the guys at BeyondBlue are fantastic or if not them talk to your GP or if not comfortable with them call lifeline or if not them talk to a friend ... trust me you are not alone ..
cheers

Feel free to PM me too bro. Sounds like you're having a **** of a time. It's been a campaigner of a year for our family too with a few people passing away, luckily it hasn't compounded like yours has with a whole lot of other shit piling up as well. One thing about the forum is you always have mates even if they are a bit removed but sometimes it means you can say more than you'd be comfortable with even to those closest.

Life can be a bitch but it can be awesome too, everything passes with time and the sun always rises. Saints in 2018 are a case in point, the start of this season we seemed to be on a collision course with years of misery, it's turned around and glimmers of hope are back. Anyway it's not narcism, it's just getting caught up in your own emotions, I reckon everyones been guilty of that. Look after yourself man, I love your posts you are an entertaining guy.

just a change of pace ...
guys im chasing a bit of local advice from you melbournites ..
The Western Saints are coming to town for the round 20 game against the Dogs so ive got a group of about 20 hitting the town on the Friday morning we are heading out to check out the new home base at Moorabbin so thats certainly going to be a highlight but i was thinking for that friday night it would be cool to organise a dinner or something for the group .. anyone got any good suggestions of places we should look at? we will all be based pretty much in the CBD so the place would have to be closeish to public transport and if it was to have somewhat of a Saints feel to it even better ... my initial thoughs was something in St Kilda but hey lets ask the locals .......

also anyone who wants to have a beer or something im more than happy to meet up with any of you guys on the Saturday before the game ..
