Re: Mateship
 

Get some dignity why don't you. Peter you are a very weak, wishy washy person in my eyes.. you are of Greek decent are you not? You also were a vegetarian.. but you couldn't stick with it in the US - you are a weak in my eyes. You seem to blow with the wind. Have no deep feelings.. Accept what you are instead of pretending something you're not. You are very much like a sheep to my mind. No depth to your being. Just that you do what the "in" thing.... what others influence you to be.

Just my opinion
and you may be the nicest person in the world.. but I don't trust you as far as I could probably throw you.

But that is just my feelings.. and on no account is this meant to slander you.

But you blow with the wind.. very wishy washy to me.. no depth

Re: Mateship
 

I'm weak. Pffft, this is coming from a malcontent Welsh/Asian/British/Australian flag of convenience that threatens to sue simply cos she (are you really a she? I don't know) cannot take back what it dishes out. You can't take honest truths Ceri, so don't be a little crusading Ayn Rand and give it in the first place.

If anyone is weak around here, it is you. Everyone else here can give as good they get; why can't you? You cry, you moan, you threaten to sue.

I'm still waiting for your lawsuit, by the way. But you were full of shit about that like everything else.

Anyhow, I'll be in Brisbane the end of next week. You are more than welcome to call me weak to my face, you and whatever army you can scrounge up. It will make an interesting conversation. We can discuss Greek contributions to the world vis a vis to the Welsh. Your part of that tale won't take long at all.

Oh, and lastly...lol

Re: Mateship
 

Now thats NOT Mateship.

Re: Mateship
 

Says it all really :D

You can't even see what you have wrote can you??? LOL

Peter.. carry on being a wishy washy person. I do not trust you at all.

Sorry darlin ' can you speak ancient greek? And you may want to look at some of your right's here in Aus while at you're at it, and the person (what nationality) who set the states. I'm laughing. bet you don't know..lol

Peter Welsh is one of oldest languages in Europe ( and the oldest one in in the UK) , still be spoken today ( I can't comment with ancient greece, can you?? LOl)

Re: Mateship
 

My Grandfather - a Welshman (Welsh Speaking) - spent 5 years in the Australian army, including 3 years as a Japanses POW. The only thing that got him through was his mates - many of whom were executed or died of fever during that time. His mates were obviously predominantly Australian, although I suspect there would have been others.

But as they died around him, quite frankly, I don't think he gave a SH*T where they were from. So let's put this argument to bed, as it does nothing for the honour of the millions of men and women who died of whatever nationality. There's a reason why they were called the ALLIES and every country paid a heavy cost.

Re: Mateship
 

Saw the extra pages added to this thread since my last visit, took a look to see what people had thought about the Aussie rowers and seems I can't find it. :confused:

Maybe the database has stuffed up....

So would you folks mind if I took this thread 'off topic' and talked about mateship?

Good to see the girls all together again today and talking for the media conference. That's how it should be - threaten to chuck her out the boat one day, have a barny, get everything out in the open, then declare you're all best mate again.

Re: Mateship
 

So, is that an example of 'mateship'? Sounds more like schoolkids in a playground. A lot of other countries wouldn't have descended to such unprofessional bickering in the first instance...

Re: Mateship
 

There's irony for you...

Re: Mateship
 

Whoa! That was almost amusing. And your contribution to the 'what is mateship' discussion is....?

Re: Mateship
 

Irony MK II.... keep 'em coming Mike :D

Re: Mateship
 

mateship....Alan Bond ,Bob Hawke et al

Re: Mateship
 

(Singo) Singleton is the main mate to have in Sydney who is with Alan Jones, Michael Da Costa (NSW government minister). With the use of talk back radio and political contacts they have forced Bob Carr to fire the Police Commisioner and several ministers.

Re: Mateship
 

Mikey boy, he's kicking your arse. :D

Who would the rest of us rather have rowing in their boat.

Mike or young_lad?

Peter or Ceri?

Re: Mateship
 

I'd want Peter as my 4, or 5 - the 'power house', Young lad as stroke, Ceri as my cox, and I'd have Mike safely on the bank working out all the stats and ratios.

Think Mikes already in the Great Britain Crew Badge. Don't think they qualified. :D
