here we go and wait for the backlash and attacks.................

Lats night once again after leaving an A-league fixture my daughter and wife were subjected to lewd and filthy comments by young men who think it's appropriate and funny........until i have ti interject and tell them that the comments are inappropriate and would they like me to make comment like that about their girlfriend or their mother or sister.......they just look at you with a dumb look on their face. In my day if you behaved like this you could expect a hiding....

on the up side i do like to see young ladies and men who know how to act and have good manners....like young men who introduce themselves look you in the eye and firmly shake your hand and call you MR ------, and young ladies who do the same....in this day and age it is quite impressive.

Yeah thats not on.



Sad really.......no way my boys would do that, no chance at all....


Funnily enough I was on the news this week looking a bloke in the eye giving him a firm handshake and a smile, Mr Andrews was his name, good to know that impresses you.

No joke, back in my day all we had was ABC and 5a on the telly, and on the radio ABC local, one commercial station, and one community station. And this was only ten years ago.

Can't have been Ballarat? Remember them having 3 commercial tv stations even in the 90s.

Most regional places around SA were like that though. Some friends in Mt Gambier got a big antenna just to pick up the channels from across the border :lol:

My experience happened in reverse.

I never experienced a rainforest until I got married and my wife pumped out a couple of kids. There are farms near us that get their grass slashed more often.

I agree with the Finkman. Although it's not required I still call my mates parents Mr and Mrs whatever even though they say don't worry about it.

It's the way I was brought up. "Back in the day" that was seen as good manners. And as my mum says good manners cost you nothing.

My kids don't call anyone Mr or Mrs anyone. It is a little jarring to hear it but I don't arc up.

Would prefer that youngsters showed a bit of deference to their elders once in a while but the world's moved on I suppose.

same here.....but i guess i get quite a few officers form the armed forces passing through, and it's great the way they conduct themselves, very professional and dignified......

i don't arc up if i am not addressed as MR....usually it's only the first time we meet that it occurs then its all first name basis...

i have 4 children ranging from 17 to 28 and the amount of times people have mentioned to me that they are fine young people who are well mannered and respectful makes my day........

it's like parenting, soon as you try and be you daughters and sons best mate before being a good parent you have lost.

social decline is in evidence at the moment due to people's lack of respect....

or all you have to do these days is go to the ANZAC dawn service and you then think your a man???


Quick question here..

Are you a homophobe?

Haha nah Ballarat is fine, I grew up on the SA/VIC border, Naracoorte, Pinnaroo, Peebinga all the same. The annoying thing about Pinnaroo was we couldn't even pick up stations across the border because Murrayville didn't (and still doesn't) get any terrestrial television! This little town in Victoria had to get a deal to get satelite telly just to pick up Imparja from the Territory.

Yes you did and the store was split into Beta and VHS. Frustrating if there was a movie you wanted and they had it in Beta but not VHS or vice versa.

Also there was that shitful moment when you got home and some prick hadn't rewound the tape.

They introduced a fee after a while for that.

Most frustrating thing was when a dusty tape was put into the machine.
