I don't think it's just women that are guilty of being stubborn, and irrational.

Of course not. It's just that ALL women are guilty of being stubborn and irrational.

I work with a woman who cries every time I have a chat to her about her development needs. It's at the point where I just say "we need to finish this conversation so I'm just going to keep talking" and I ignore her tears.

Having said that, there's a man at work who does exactly the same thing...drives me nuts. I hate when people cry at work.

I've cried at work several times but nothing to do with work.

Not that I recall... nah dont think so.

Grumpy old Zimbabwean here. Turning 70, and the lack of defensive shots played by our top order are his current crusades.

I can't understand why Bev Brock can't get over the fact Peter is dead and that he left her.
FFS love get over it and stop dragging up these bullshit stories to the media every few months just so you can sell yet another book.

Hard to believe it's been ten years.

I found out about Irwin when Rory Atkins walked into class with the news.

I was also at the same Primary school in Melbourne that air win went to for a few years. So we did a tribute thing by designing animals from paper and showing it in front of the whole school.

Peter Brock died in the Targa West Rally which left from Forrest Place in Perth.

I was working in the city at the time and they had all the rally cars displayed in Forrest Place before the race, I went down there to have a look at them and spotted Brocky standing nearby casually sipping on a coffee. I'm not a big motor racing fan but it was still a buzz to see him in the flesh, he had that rock star charisma even at 60 odd.

I was shocked when I heard later that day he had been killed, you just didn't think a guy with his experience and expertise could die in a car crash,

Running for president put too much pressure on the family.

It's good that they've all been found safe and well but I don't get what was going on. I did see reference to some kind of psychological syndrome that can affect close knit people in a family (where paranoia from one person can 'infect' others) but I had quite frankly never heard of such a thing before
