Sorry Pete
I entered door 2 sitting ground level row 8
Living at concord west so I just walked to the concert
I forgot to mention
Love love me do the mash potato and you never give me your Murray
Does that mean they would of been called The Beagles?

Gee TAD - that seating position was well over the $700.00 mark. Did you do a meet and greet?
Sitting Row 8, or standing like many were.

Concord West - my dad used to go to The Repat Hospital at Concord for many years. Majors Bay Rd is where I am affiliated to NSW JP's through.
Never know, if you want, we could catch up one day, when I am in that area. I think West Tigers trained at Concord Oval and NSW Rugby used it for some matches.
Maybe Beateagles, but not that Easy!!!!
Cheers - Pete

Yeah Pete
I got cat Stevens for birthday and sir Paul for Xmas there’s got to be a catch
I think she’s been sniffing around Angus & Coote for retribution
Tigers still train at concord we see them occasionally pounding the streets along the bay
Love to catch up if your around
I have a couple of contacts grand final
tickets come my way every year or Bathurst to watch a game sounds good
I think my fav beagles song is u never give me your Murray apparently that’s how the Chinese sing it anyway

Merry Christmas to you and anyone else who happens to be dropping in and out of here over the next few days.

No doubt we will speak again in 2018

What do you think about the Jayrrd Hayne raping allegations

BigPeteBx's picture

Thanks TAD about TigPies at Concord.
Mate, be warned Angus & Coote spells jewellery to me.
We have jewellers here closing Christmas Eve and all stock is going cheap. Let me know what the lady would like and you can come for a drive and we'll meet. I will of course do likewise, but not for jewellery for now.
I'll go ya 50/50 for the Murray and throw the Macquarie in - bank not river.
Cheers Old Son - Pete

Evenin 'a' - I don't know about all that, but I think the story is being re-visited again. Wasn't that a dispute/headline where he had to front before. I think the mud is being slung again. However, maybe another incident/case.
I'm sure his name is J. Hayne - not J. Holmes. Eel or no eel.
I wont visit last week NBL - Kings v Taipans.
Cheers - Big Pete

Thanks Chris at Chrissy Time.
To you all also, keep well and see you in a big and better way in 2018.
Festive love to you as well and truck loads of kisses.
Make sure Santa doesn't get stuck in your chimney. Does he have a B-Plan and no Mexican food for the reindeers.
Best wishes - Pete

"a" I don't want to offend anyone by saying this but I think jarryd likes the publicity be it good or bad & it's got people talking & of course he wants to come out of this smelling like roses if he is innocent then fair enough but this women has a prolific attorney to represent her by the name of john clune who also represented a women against kobe Bryant a lakers player & won the case for the women , he has a reputation of winning his cases & according to the article I just read the women involved has jarryd's under pants that she has given as evidence so see what happens but it won't affect him playing for parra ,"a" have a good Christmas / new year ok & stay safe in the holiday season , you are a good guy on here that I have always spoken to & i never had any problem with & I appreciate you being on this site "a" so thank you for being on here ok ...

With regard to the Jarryd Hayne thing it sounds a bit fishy to me.
Initial meeting took place in a bar December 2015.
The complainant was so drunk she passed out on the way to Jarryd's pad. So only Jarryd knows what happened next.
The alleged rape/assault was not reported to the Police until May 2016 6 months later. The LA police found insufficient evidence to proceed and the matter was dropped.
Now let's be sure I'm no Jarryd Hayne fan and believe that sexual predators should have their whatsis slashed off in a most painful manner.
I just worry about the time elapsed and now a USA civil case following the Weinstein etc revelations.
USA lawyers are the greediest bottom feeders on this planet. I hope Jarryd has deep pockets.

Big Pete
I too was a great fan of the Liverpool produced bands, Beatles, Gerry & the Pacemakers and so many others.
BUT the Monkeys were an LA produced band manufactured to combat the Beatles in the US.
Davy Jones may have been born in the UK but spent most of his entertainment life in the US.
How about a bit of Gerry and the Pacemakers memories:
1 "I like it"
2 " Ferry me across the Mersey"
3 "Don't let the sun catch you crying"
4 "You'll never walk alone"
Can you name a footy club Big Pete or are you too busy humming?
Have a great Christmas, you and family, my friend.

To all my friends on this site I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2018. Looking forward to next season and more good banter. The season highlight for me has been the addition of some new posters who have become regular contributors, not forgetting those of us who have been here for a long time.

A special thank you to The Thinker who has provided us with this wonderful forum and to his able assistant TLH. Without them we wouldn't be here.

Best wishes from the other side of the ditch!!

In regards to jarryd hayne
if the boxers don't fit you must aquit ...

It already was done and dusted in 2015. Someone is just ambulance chasing for the pay day. Media is reporting badly as is their MO. Some more cynical people think that this crap has come out to hush up the Manly ho-ha. That's just as crap, its a woman trying to cash in on that #metoo thing.

The Annoying Devil's picture

I’m no Hayne fan or condone what he’s been accused of but fair dinkum enough is enough
The prosecutor thru this out due to lack of evidence in 2016.
And now she’s got his undies he’s a rapist
If that all it takes god help Tom Jones

I happen to agree with you about this women that's doing this to jarryd hayne , for starters a virgin at 25 yeah right don't believe that one, second a devout Christian out getting drunk with footballers what do you really expect is going to happen she sounds like a trophy hunter to me but in America they have such rules as if you are drunk & someone has sex with you while your drunk then it's deemed as being non consensual because your judgement is impaired & jarryd doesn't deny they had sex so because she was drunk that then becomes a crime & in America you don't have to have someone charged of an offence to be able to sue them hence it being a civil case so even if jarryd doesn't get charged she can still sue him & if jarryd wants all of this to go away then he will pay so yes she is a trophy hunter & I don't condone that for one minute but jarryd hasn't helped his case by saying they did have sex because if anyone can prove she was drunk then I think you find jarryd's in trouble , the stronger the case they build the worse it looks for jarryd & that's what they are tryng to do so let that be a lesson to you guys even when you think you know someone you don't always really no them but that doesn't mean all females are trophy hunters like she is ...

On a different note now i hope everyone has a good Christmas eve & a great Christmas to all that are still with us & to all that are no longer with us & are now in spirit ( you will never be forgotten ) ...

Baggy_Gee's picture

Yes Merry Christmas and peace to all, yes even those Manly supporters ;) hope everyone who was travelling stayed safe, and to those enjoying time with family, keep the peace. To everyone stay safe and remember the reason for the season.

My treatment date has been delayed , it will now be in march ...

Mary S's picture

Sorry to hear about the delay in treatment Christine. The uncertainty of 'the when', must bring a different kind of frustration for you I would think, All the best,
Mary

christine 's picture

Thanks Mary for your post in regards to my treatment yes it's frustrating but anything medical for me is frustrating ( some more so than others of course ) , it would seem I have never been covered against chicken pox so that delays treatment for me by a couple of months so hopefully they won't find any other reason to delay things even more again mary thanks for your post it's appreciated ...

Has anyone been watching Australian Open

christine 's picture

TAD I saw a tweet a couple of days ago that souths are going after & hope to secure RTS who is apparently not happy at warriors & wants out , did you hear anything about this to know if there is any truth in it at all ?...

The Annoying Devil's picture

Hi Christine
I’m hearing RTS is not happy and even though he has the captaincy in 2018 he’s looking to Souths or rugby in 2019. He wants to play in a successful side like when he was a rooster but even if the warriors start well and he resigns with the warriors surely he knows the warriors usually lose their way and if they can’t stay in touch with the 8 they seem to throw in the towel and get on a losing streak to finish off the season
I wouldn’t mind seeing him a bunny

Hopefully Johnathan Thruston gets Australian of the year
