Lots of stresses and tensions flow through our site. Sometimes it is a good idea to try and understand that there are other ways to get a kick out of life besides football alone. A balanced perspective. We are walking to the time of year when great disappointments may make your life miserable. 30 + whatever years without a premiership there are some good medications to see things differently.{other than alcohol?}

    • Tad, life hasn't been good to me in the last 10years but I've never lost my sense of humour weird as it may be. At my age waking in the morning is a huge bonus. This song sums it up for me

      • That is the song and version I have picked for my funeral. 

        • Fuck bro,  and here I was telling the mrs I want 2 live crew just to stir it up a bit.

        • Slugg, MyBob, loved that. Touching. Beautiful. 

          Music is often better at expressing what we want to say than words.

          • Nice song o reflect on HOE particularly thinking of the hopelessness in many people's lives who have lost everything. Floods at Lismore and War in Ukraine.Makes me feel guilty that I am powerless to do anything meaningful to help.

      • Thanks for putting that up Slugg.Wonderful unicorn song which brings a tear to my eye thinking of all the people that I have lost that have had a big impact on my life. Stay strong mate.The world can be a very lonely place for older people with health issues in particular. Hoping our little one-eyed community can give you the opportunity to share your thoughts on many issues that pop up.

        • Thanks Taddles, I’m a tough old bastard I’ve had a few health issues but I never let them get me down. Occasionally I get a bit misty when I look at mrs Sluggs  photo, 50 years in a long time. 1EE has helped me cope I’ve made friends I’ll never see and some that I have. Parramatta Tragic came down to visit a couple of weeks ago he brought cakes an chocolates. If my thoughts fail me I've always got the yawning pig

          • I remember that song very well Slugg.  Music with a story to tell and comforting to listen to

    • Yes Slugg music and the creative struggles in process behind the scenes is giving purpose to one's life. Listening to it is a temporary relief from ills life can throw at you.We are So lucky to have lived through the early Beetles era.

"Hey LB, how have you been?
If he was a 30+ year old outside back, absolutely, and although it's obviously not ideal, less concerned with middle forwards. 
Also less concerned with age in general than most LB, believe age is less important than other…"

"LB, maybe not us against the world. I think a few other clubs and members are also supporting us. Major ramifications, irrespective of the findings and decisions of the court. It might cut down the power base of Vlandys and friends."

"Does his recent ACL injury concern you at all NOS?
You say having older heads is a big concern, too many can be. We have Paulo and de Belin already. If we already know de Belin is not here in 2027 then yeah Barnett would fit in nicely."

LB replied to LB's discussion Eels interested in Barnett
"Also, look at the depth we have for middles in 2027. Paulo (more likely stays), Hopgood, Moretti, Tuivaiti, Talagi, Doorey, Koina and perhaps Guymer if he stays. That is a fair bit. No need for de Belin. We have leadership in the club. 
If de Belin…"
