He was probably always a oval office, he'd just become good at hiding it. There was a dude I used to go drinking with, let's call him Dave. Dave was likeable, personable, always up for a drink, enjoyed his footy, was active and outgoing, considered a solid bloke all round. One day, a mutual friend of mine and Dave has a close female friend come up to him. She says she's having a rough patch with guys at the moment, and wouldn't mind having a friend with benefits situation until she meets someone that she would like to date more seriously, and she wanted this mutual friend of ours to recommend a solid guy that would be nice and chill about the whole situation. So of course, this mutual friend recommends Dave, who is a great terrific top awesome bloke and the whole thing is set up.

What could go wrong?

Of course, Dave stumbles over to her house one Saturday night, drunk as a skunk, totally unannounced. She let's him in, because of course he's a great terrific top awesome bloke, and he essentially proceeds to commit rape with a twist of added violence thrown in. I mean there was some debate amongst our friends over whether it *technically* constituted rape, but really that's a matter of semantics, it was a violent sexual assault irrespective.

Anyway in more positive news my fitness has already improved a heap, so hopefully I will be able to run out a game soon.

I really wish clubs were forced to wait a year before attempting to re-sign first year players. It sets a bad precedence in entrusting far too much to a kid who hasnt even played a game and also convincing an 18 year old to commit 4 years in a place he actually hasnt experienced properly yet and may not actually fit in come the rigors of the actual season.

Evidently, Cousins led the local police on a low speed chase. They lit him up because he was tonking along at the massive speed of about 30km/h on a back road at balls o'clock, then he punched it and kept going, at about 30... They even called his mobile phone to see if the vehicle was nicked, and he told them he couldn't stop as he was on his way to an 'emergency'. They ended up effecting the stop and he refused to supply a sample of breath. Released from the local watch house just after 0300, so you gotta figure he was stopped at about 0100.

Pissed as.

Ah, Jupiter, is he to leave,

is a foreigner to pour scorn on our kingdom? Shall my Tyrians

ready their armour, and follow them out of the city, and others drag

our ships from their docks? Go, bring fire quickly, hand out the

weapons, drive the oars! What am I saying? Where am I?

What madness twists my thoughts? Wretched Dido, is it now

that your impious actions hurt you? The right time was then,

when you gave him the crown. So this is the word and loyalty

of the man whom they say bears his father’s gods around,

of the man who carried his age-worn father on his shoulders?

Couldn’t I have seized hold of him, torn his body apart,

and scattered him on the waves? And put his friends to the sword,

and Ascanius even, to feast on, as a course at his father’s table?

True the fortunes of war are uncertain. Let them be so:

as one about to die, whom had I to fear? I should have set fire

to his camp, filled the decks with flames, and extinguishing

father and son, and their whole race, given up my own life as well.

O Sun, you who illuminate all the works of this world,

and you Juno, interpreter and knower of all my pain,

and Hecate howled to, in cities, at midnight crossroads,

you, avenging Furies, and you, gods of dying Elissa,

acknowledge this, direct your righteous will to my troubles,

and hear my prayer. If it must be that the accursed one

should reach the harbour, and sail to the shore:

if Jove’s destiny for him requires it, there his goal:

still, troubled in war by the armies of a proud race,

exiled from his territories, torn from Iulus’s embrace,

let him beg help, and watch the shameful death of his people:

then, when he has surrendered, to a peace without justice,

may he not enjoy his kingdom or the days he longed for,

but let him die before his time, and lie unburied on the sand.

This I pray, these last words I pour out with my blood.

Then, O Tyrians, pursue my hatred against his whole line

and the race to come, and offer it as a tribute to my ashes.

Let there be no love or treaties between our peoples.

Rise, some unknown avenger, from my dust, who will pursue

the Trojan colonists with fire and sword, now, or in time

to come, whenever the strength is granted him.

I pray that shore be opposed to shore, water to wave,

weapon to weapon: let them fight, them and their descendants.

:siren: NOT TO GET ALL AUSPOL ON U BUT....:siren:

Depression can come and go in waves, particularly if he wasn't in treatment at the time. He may well have been legitmately disabled by it at the time, and has now come out the other side of the black cloud and can go about leading a normal, happy, productive life. We should wish for such an outcome for anyone suffering depression. The depression wasn't some cycnical ploy on his part, what we are seeing here is simply 'getting better'.

:siren: NOW TO GET ALL TROOFBOMB :siren:

Rumour is a big part of his depression was self inflicted due to him loving about with a stripper and ruining his current relationship. It's not like someone close to him died unexpected and he couldn't handle the grief, it was brought about by him behaving like a piece of poo poo. He then proceeded to happily train with Melbourne post depressive stage, a club that had supported him unconditionally, knowing full well he was bailing on the club so he could have a quick and easy grab at some silverware.

Depression sufferers are just like all other people, in that some of them are total bastards.

But we're all going to pick him first in supercoach anyway.
