Oh my flashbacks. I remember choc **** too but i don't remember the packet looking like that. And yes i did smoke for many years .. the bastards trained me with my love of sugar and chocolate

 

[FPPF]

Yeah because hating people because you don't agree with their choices is so reasonable and not feral at all.

/sarcasm

Never said I hate Gary Lyon for his choice to screw his best mates ex wife.

 

[FPPF]

Maybe his ex should've kept her legs crossed

Maybe she should have maybe she shouldn't have.

Gary Lyon wasn't his ex best mate though, he was still his best mate, so Gary Lyon should have kept his dick in his pants.

 

[FPPF]

I dunno, is "my ex-wife is not, and has never been, my personal property" a value?

You're missing my point Portia.
It's not about the ex wife spreading her legs(well it is, but that's another issue), it's about a best mate betraying a best mate's trust, breaking the loyalty that should exist between best mates.

The ex wife can lay it on thick on her ex husbands mates, but his mates should have the common decency, and loyalty to their mate, to not take things further.

They were still made overseas until recently I believe

 

[I Dont Care]

Bit difficult for me to go to a mate's house and see my ex on the couch. Or for her to come into my house with him. I don't want to hear any intimate details about the two either from him. Would he ever trust me around her? All in all, I don't really want to see someone after we break up. Nothing in it for me. If she starts going out with a mate, that's fine, but I won't be mates with him any more.

Yeah well I suppose I am a bit like my user name in real life

Back in those days smoking was the done thing. Non-smokers were the minority when I was young

 

[BIG BILLY F]

My first full time job I was the only non-smoker out of 20 - 30 guys.

Mmmm. So there's a few things I want to say about this.

1. Every AFL person that has cited mental illness has been harangued for it.
Chris Tarrant, Nathan Thompson, Cam McCarthy - the view of `mental illness' as a copout is so pervasive that it is impossible to use as a reason with copping shit from the general public for it. The only thing close to acceptance of this would be Phil Walsh's son after the event, because his action was so drastic you couldn't deny he was unwell.

2. Pretty much everyone would prefer any gaps in their CV explained by just about anything else than `mental illness'
"I left my last job because I fell in love with my co-host's ex" is about a million times less damaging to a career than "For a long time I've been spiralling downwards and had to take time out to work through my depression", and thats in any industry. Being a philanderer doesn't have to affect your work, but mental illness can mean Workcover claims, and a million other negative perceptions that probably aren't true.

3. For much the same reasons as claiming rape accusers are making it up being damaging, questioning/disbelieving people that state that they are suffering from mental health issues is going to take down ten times as many genuine suffers as there are imposters - who genuinely `fakes' mental illness?

I am absolutely ready to believe Garry Lyon could have some form of mental health issues, he's always been a bit of a downer as a persona IMO. Yes, he can still go and eat a satchel of units for what he has said about Port, but if he says he's dealing with mental health issues, I absolutely believe it.

If you want to help out people with mental health issues, and improve the acceptance of them by society, the way you do that is by believing it when people speak about them, not doubt them as the default.

Im aware of my comment's dangerous implication that you have to "prove" your mental illness; that's not my intention at all but I understand (and am thankful) that many would take this view on it.

But in this case it's like announcing a double interest rate hike on Melbourne Cup day; and in any case Gary Lyon was a philandering and disrespectful man prior to this announcement who actively pissed on our club when we were at our nadir, and I'd be lying if I said I felt any differently towards him now I've learnt he has a mental illness nor have any sympathy to extend.

 

[Asgardian]

You would be in a very small minority, apart from Asgardian who's obviously doing his best friends ex wife,

Happily married for 31 years now, but seeing you want to get all upset, is it coz your guilty over doing your best friends pet poodle?

 

[Dentshop]

You don't bang your mates ex wife,daughter,mom or even granny....you just don't go there. That's being a shit mate

I contend that sisters are fair game.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Lol...some of you are freakin nutso...

Just assume everyone is.




Its gonna save you some time.

So if you broke up with her tomorrow you'd be happy for your best mate to bang her on Tuesday...

Agree whole heartedly.

Anyway who would you rather have a beer with and a chat?
Gary "who would want to go to Port Adelaide/I slept with my best mates wife?" Lion,
or Billy "I take the piss out of myself and enjoy a beer with the everyday bloke" Brownless?

IMHO GL has not only screwed his mates missus, he had screwed over his mate.

You are one of the funniest posters....genuinely make me lol with some of the stuff you come up with

You were a minoritor

I purposefully left sisters out as they are non restricted free agents

I think hooking up with sisters 100% proves you're mentally ill.

Sheesh. This thread has deteriorated.

 

[PAWt]

Sheesh. This thread has deteriorated.

I think everyone has been rattled by the mental imagery of old fat ugly campaigners like Lyon and Brownless having sex (not with each other - oh no, now i've got that in my head )

I think we should all just think about that. Get that hot sweaty hairy thought right in there.
