That is such a sad story. I especially feel for his parents, particularly after hearing his dad talking about how many times he tried to bail Ben out of trouble.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

80% Greens, 59% ALP, 33% Libs. And yet I'll probably continue to vote ALP.

The Greens are basically the left wing of the Labor party that was destroyed by the rise to power of Bob Hawke behind the NSW right wing factions.

Agree. Cant imagine what his parents would be going through. I'd be laying awake at nights if that was my child. Even when id tried everything i could to help and the situation was obviously getting worse.

 

[Grandaddy J]

Going by those (unsurprising) results your social media feeds must have had some epic Brexit sooking in them over the weekend. Can't wait for all the melts next Saturday night whoever wins, Greens\Labor fans do it best though as again evidenced with the Brexit vote.

In the words of the man who I'm sure is your favourite commentator...boy oh boy. Wowee.

 

[I Dont Care]

I tend to be a tad "fair weather" when it comes to CorpulentOblongSpheroid.

My feed was largely bemusement followed by 'oh well'. Most people here don't care.

You know I don't

What...how did raman get in there?

That's the thing. This isn't someone who came from an impoverished background or had a history of abuse, mental illness or other assorted problems that often contribute to substance abuse.

He's come from the most privileged of backgrounds, with huge familial support/opportunities, with the natural talent and work ethic to match.

And he's thrown it all away.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Yeesh I'm not sure he's throwing it all away by choice anymore I'd rather be a smack head than be in the grip of that shit.

I would've thought you of all people would have been on this site for at least a decade!

I have, but I just used it to dig up some really old shit today, and a great photo which is no longer on the Boss' website the other day. Just wanted to share with those who haven't use it yet.

At least they are entertaining melts by grown adults going full toddler, unlike the opposite serious whinges we'll get if Labor happens to win.

It was weird, I had mainly old people having a meltdown like full on tantrums because their side didn't win which was the complete reverse to normal, they went through all the stages, demanding a re-vote, linking videos claiming that a few people would now change their vote therefore everyone really wanted to stay, everyone's a racist, shouldn't have let the *insert insult here* people vote.. basically having trouble coming to grips with going from being in the majority for most of their life on EU opinion (bar a few patches) and ignoring the slow turn against to suddenly realising that their view is the minority one.

Then there were the Scottish people freaking out they wanted out and independence to then go and become dependent again on the EU straight away and simply not coping when told that their economy wouldn't even come close to EU acceptance standards.

I'll start reading my news feed again Saturday night when there's bound to be one person going full virtual 3 year old in Target being told they can't have a toy melt about whoever won, there'll also be the "I'm moving to another country" person.

Flip: Remain wins, passionate Leavers chuck tanties and push the conspiricy angle that they love. Both sides of politics have their share of large babies.

You gotta admit, Leave has led on people massively if they don't find that 350m funding for the NHS. In addition to that, the youngns voting remain (majority) getting angry at the older demographic (majority leave) is totally justified considering which of the two has to live with the consequences for the longer time.

That's my exit, I would have shaken my head vigorously at those window washing folk dozens of times.. Might have made my first exception for Ben

Based on this, my mother may have done more than just dance with Phillip Mountbatten when she was in the Wrens...

My extremely pale and blonde wife doubts she has an Egyptian foot!

I think Butcher has no 5 that could be his kicking issue,

The youngins didnt rock up so cant care that much. yeah of course there would have been sooks the other way I'm just saying they dont do it anywhere as well

I'm confused too, my background is all celtic, but apparently I too have Egyptian feet.

When I was studying ( many moons ago ) the long 2nd toe was usually attributed to people of eastern European origin, probably just another generalisation that has changed over the years.
