Speaking of Mediterranean Descendants, do you reckon Asi has a bit of Balkan somewhere in his heritage. Sure the kiwi part has butchered the name, but its too much like Dejan to be a coincidence. ... maybe his parents just met a Serb once and liked his name, but had no idea how to spell it.
Yeah but it would be pronounced Deyan then, right ?

That’s my son’s name but I dropped the j. Didn’t want him to sound like a hairdresser when Aussies tried to pronounce it.

In English it’s pronounced Dean. In Serbian it’s pronounced Dai-yaan.
Yeah .... so he is cool with all the skips calling him Dean.

I find it interesting that all the Mediterranean Descendants used to change their name to anglo names to try and fit in when they came. ... i even know of a Shane lol

That’s right. But Anglo’s like to emphasise the j which makes him sound gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
My daughter’s name is Maya. So we totally get the skippys pronouncing it all wrong.

Does Danika Mason have a euro background? I’m assuming that’s her married name because if she’s a Mason I’m a Jones.

I dont think she is married yet. They said she had got engaged. Maybe a prior marriage.
I assumed her parents were mixed and mum got the naming rights.

So basically Bulldog thinks that he can make shit up ir make a mountain out of a mole hill, pike on a club relentlessly and overlook others, yet when people post “hold on merkin” they are trolls and poor him ?

His reasoning yesterday about meow was he was blameless and you don’t have to read it. If you don’t like what he wrote, you shouldn’t share those thoughts, cos if you do, you’re a troll. Meanwhile the poor News Ltd hack can’t bring himself to even utter the words Paul Kent.
The more I think about it the more it's disgraceful he has pulled the mental health defence tbh.

There are people out there struggling with mental health and he has weaponised it to make himself out as some hero because people are putting heat on about why they aren't putting the same attention on Paul Kent.

Get off social media pretty simple.
