Beside this post on my screen is an add for Lizard Island. I did a day trip there on my homeymoon 26 years ago so I though I would take a look. Cheapest rooms were 2000 + per night. I suppose the bed is a bit better than a cardboard box.

All food included. Children free.

Yeah I know. I just thought the contrast between a 2k per night resort and talking about homelessness was ironic. And btw how much effen food and grog would you need to eat to make it worthwhile!

Agree with irony.

You don't get free grog BTW.

Would have to eat a shitload of food then.

Which I certainly could.

'The opposite of triggers': How 'glimmers' help my mental health

Known as the opposite of triggers, 'glimmers' help us feel safe and connected. And the best part? They're all around us.

I had an interesting conversation with a mental health professional sometime over the past few days. Without being too specific and breaching confidentiality, he regularly sees a number of professional athletes who play team sports.

He said merkins would be shocked how many young people he has seen in their early mid and late 20's who are literally in tears because they are accused specifically of "not trying" or "not good enough" by the public. Simply because form is a very human condition, especially when you are young.

Indeed he has even seen young men who are household names to some, who have expressed that they have felt "unsafe" at times.

Yeah we are all guilty of it. Us supporters take no prisoners when it comes to our win, no excuses, expectations.

It gave me some perspective anyway.

================

Remember that if anyone is feeling unsafe or has in the past, then you really should have a safety plan.

I don't know about other codes, but the average NRL first grade career (if you make it) is 40 games. So not sure if being smart with their $$$$ is even a factor.

Obviously the more elite, but an average footballer makes, minimum $250 ?, yes there is pressure, but the know that, and fans venting is a part of the process, though I don’t approve Or like the grubby stuff

no, but too much can create a lot of issues, especially for those with too much time on their hands
