A Board Room rumour.

[yy_cheng]

A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on two legs
It was a war within yourself.
But you wouldn`t let your mates down til they had you dusted off
So you closed your eyes and thought about something else.

Then someone yelled out `Contact!` and the bloke behind me swore
We hooked in there for hours, then a Godalmighty roar
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon,
God help me, he was going home in June.

I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle
Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row.

And the Anzac legends didn`t mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real.
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn`t even feel
God help me, I was only nineteen.

You also don't miss having an underhanded swipe, and then try and defend yourself.

Are ALL country people like that?

Suity

No most of are are just plain merkins. AND I wasn't trying to defend myself. For WHAT, having a say. You city people are an example for all of us, Thanks for keeping us merkins on our toes, and in line..For that we will be forever grateful. We merkins look up to people like you. You inspire us with your wealth of knowledge, of what is right and wrong, our short comings in our behaviour and our manners, how to express ourselves.
I bet you are really Bruce Wayne!!!

Johnno was part of Fitzy's team..It seems 'the purge continues.....'
Watch you back Norm Sivyer.......you could be next....

Fitzy's team???? wtf????...

this is the reason why the majority of the old board got out voted and probably one of the reason why Fitzy is no longer there...it should never of been Fitzy's team, it's him that should of been representing the board not the other way around..

or was that a slip of the type writer finger???

 

[parra pete]

No, not a slip of the type writer finger. Not waving, drowning. It was a deliberate post. Have you heard if Norm is headed the way of Hilly, Ross Smart and others>
BUT thank you for pointing out this error by me, a poor simple country merkin. I will try to be better in future. If, however, I do step out of line by expressing a tongue in cheek comment, please be quick to come down hard. I deserve your displeasure.
I appreciate your strong advice, and also the advice of Suitman, and the direction you are pointing me in.
Stagger, I bet you are really Nick Minchin...

 

[Suitman]

pete, the only person who has called you a merkin is yourself.
Read back through the posts.

It's quite sad really.

Half this thread is now sad, pete being the main contributor.

Yeah I know. I am a typical country merkin. We merkins really appreciate the guidance you city dwellers give to us.
We may have plenty of clean air and space out here in the bush, but what we don't have is the savvy of you city people.
I am sure I speak on behalf of most of us here in this part of the bush (and I apologise to others if I don't) that we really appreciate you Bruce, and Nick for telling us how we should and should not behave ourselves. what we can and can't post, when we can be tongue in cheek and when we can't be.
How else are we supposed to find out if you don't constantly pull us into line.
To quote Bazal Fawlty --- "I've been a very very naughty boy".

Thank you too, O E T...You, too, have every right to tell me what I can and can't post. Sorry if I offended you with a tongue in cheek remark reminding Norm Sivyer to watch his back.

Onya PB...Love it....

Most of the posters on this forum are city members. I'm a country member, remember!

 

[MarkInTheStands]

So let me see if I can get this straight or indeed a straight answer from anyone.

1) Is Dr Michael Johnson still on the Board of Directors for the PDRLC (Football Club) - As far as I understand it he is?

2) Has Dr Michael Johnson been replaced as the Chief Medical officer for Parramatta DRLC (Football Club)

3) Has Dr Michael Johnson been replaced as the Chief Medical officer for Parramatta NRLC (Eels NRL / Eels U20 / Wenty NSWCup)

I get the feeling the answers are

1) Yes
2) Unknown
3) Yes

 

[Ron Jeremy]

great, has yet again turned into another Pete thread. Pete do you do this for attention or something?

 

[parra pete]

Why/or how has it turned into a Pete thread?
The question on the subject "A Board Room rumour" was put if Michael Johnston was also getting purged, and the next, was whether Norm Sivyer would be next.
All of a sudden it turns into "Pete" bashing!!!!
What a bastard I must be to stir so much passion with such 'easy' questions...or have I hit a nerve. A country member...

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

The term "petes thread" is now just used to describe a boring, repetitive country hick with a chip on their shoulder who hijacks a thread because they cant deal with hipocrits in the world.

 

[parra pete]

FMD....Show me what part of this thread you have found boring? Was it where I asked "Is Dr Johnson part of the purge"...or was it "Is Norm Sivyer next".
What chip do I have on my shoulder...???? - and how is it hijacking a thread?
What a merkin I am for asking the hard questions..

wow pete - you seem about as popular as Malcolm Turnbull atm.

Then again, 12 months ago you were as popular as Brendon Nelson, so not much has changed.

[Casper The Ghost]

As expected, Brett Kenny had to stand down from the football club board as he's taken up the coaching role at Wenty..

I was told he was replaced by Rob Sasson...

just a rumour atm but no doubt it will be common knowledge soon if it is true.

Look, lets face it everyone, Stagger Eel is a stirrer, only a stirrer would start a thread like this. What is stated in this post is extremely controversial. Who in their right mind would post such terrible information that has children hide under their beds and grown ups too scared to walk outside their front door. I am surprised that a bank of Murdoch photographers has not staked out Stagger Eels home.

It won't be long before Stagger Eel will come out with statements like these leaving a world audience in gasp of his breathtaking audacity to stir the populace into action....



I like a man who grins when he fights.



Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.



I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.



A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.



The inherent vice of capitalism is the uneven division of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal division of misery.



It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.



The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.



He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.



The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.



Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried.

Wow, Batman, is this really a popularity contest? Or is it a place where fair dinkum questions can be put...Like is Mick Johnson part of the purge, and will Normie Sivyer be the next. Pretty straight forward in a thread that is entitled A Board Room Rumour...
The only place I need to be popular is in my own home. Three meals a day, and half a bed, and I'm happy.

I've just re-read this post. Tell you the truth, I can't make out the message you are trying to get across. "Please Explain" - Pauline Hansen
Since you have 'sledged me', I think I am entitled to ask you for an explanation.
I certainly don't regard myself as a country 'hick'. A merkin maybe, but definitely not a hick. Why am I a hick?
How do you define 'hick' anyway? Is that your description of someone who lives outside the metropolitan area?
If it is, be careful, because there are plenty of 'bush' Eels on this forum - and btw who are the 'hipocrits' (I'm sure you mean hypocrites) of the world that I can't deal with?
One-eyed Tezza, did you just type up the first thing that came into your head, without thinking it through?
You might get brownie points off the camp followers, but you won't get any off me
