Jeezus mate. That's garbage, you shouldn't have to put up with that kind of crap. You ought to take it to the cops anyway as it's the only way c@nts like that will ever learn......wonder if he beats his wire and/or kids too.....Quote:

It was his pride that was hurt Bob, as I said everyone in town and even all the way to Bairnsdale are talking about what a scumbag he is... hahah!Quote:

Good to hear your boss backed you.
This bloke has real issues as you know first hand.
He needs to be taken to task, understand your position Winnie.
These people feed off that unfortunately, the law should be able to act without your input.
Hope the other wholesalers come on board with your company and send the message that way.
Assault is a disgusting low act.....grubs like this should not be allowed to share our streets. Mate, you have your reasons for not pressing charges, but by not laying them, his grub like behaviour is allowed to continue. United we stand divided we fall.
I would have given him a good royal flogging, after all it was self defense. The bigger they are the harder they fall:)
Hey Evo, why not join us on the September long weekend down at Dwelly, mainly just chilling out with good people mateQuote:

Today has been a very tough day. Many of you who know me in "the real world" know that my lymphoma has unfortunately returned after 15-16 months in remission.
For the last week or so I've had no medical appointments or contact to raise my blood pressure. I've been able to live in a relative state of normality, something for which I am very jealous of the rest of the population. Today though, I've had to undergo a needle biopsy to confirm what is happening. This has brought to the surface all the lingering doubts and insecurities of my predicament. Quite simply it has made me quite sad.....am I depressed? I don't think so but I am currently on a wave of deep sadness as I reflect on what might happen to me in the future. And what of my wife and kids?
It's bloody hard to talk about (even with those closest to me) so I thought I'd write something down and I'm sorry you guys have had to read it but it's the only way I seem to be able to express myself. Many are doing the right thing to support me but sometimes I just can't do the whole "positive" mindset, the stiff upper lip, I'm not quite there in my own mind yet but will get to that state of mind soon enough. Just not today.
Really, I'm sad because I just want my health back......that's all.

Yell out mate..... I'll come running!!!!!
hey mate, i cannot for a minute understand what you are feeling or going thru but i know if it was me i would probably be similar to you, if you need a break and can get to this side of the country there is a bed for you and the family mate. Keep the positive thoughts and i hope things work out for you.
Was just over at BA's, he mentioned what's happening Drew. Not good, but you'll kick that c*** of a thing in the nuts again mate for good!
It definitely helps to let it out... Even if it means keyboard bashing a few sentences together to let a few others know what's happening.
Venting is good never bottle it up, always someone here to lend and ear,
PM sent, as I said only 12 mins away
It will be a good week next week mate.Quote:

Bummer...... but you can only do one day at a time. Bed here if you want a day or two out of the city without having to go too far.
All the best Drew my thoughts have been are are with you with this truly s#!t thing. You've got a bloody good attitude towards it but at the end of the day we're all human and can't stay strong all the time. Hope tomorrow's a better day for ya mate.
Sorry drew I don't know what to say. We all love you mate and will help you through this obstacle in your life.
Can't imagine what your going through mate but all I can say is chin up and feel free to bounce off us here anytime for support Drew, you've made some great friends here who will always be there if need be mate!!!
Thanks guys for your kind words.....I might just take you up on some of those offers. I'm still adjusting to a new set of circumstances and I wrote that while recovering in the hospital from my biopsy procedure and was at a particularly low ebb.
The whole situation is wrong on so many levels even apart from the obvious. I'm fitter and healthier than I've been in years, just had a great promotion at work, I'm feeling great with no symptoms, just bizarre......
But Rossco you are right mate, tomorrow will be a better day.......and my arse still points to the ground.....

Shit Drew mate, you've killed this thing before and knowing you and your strengths I know you will kill this beast again.
We are all behind you mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man I can't imagine what you and your family must be going through. Don't ever be sorry for venting something like this in here mate that is why we are here and the whole reason this thread was created. My best wishes and prayers go out to you and your family. I am sure soon enough you will kick the s¥EUR£ out of it and be back on track.

Drew if you ever need to vent mate this is the place to do it, or PM any of us here, I know what you are going through mate.
People always say "stay positive", the reason is that they really do not know what else to say at times like this.
If you need to vent then do it mate if you want to talk just call me
Exactly. I am speechless! What does one say? All the best and fight this mofo with everything you got. Shit like this shouldn't happen to good people like you.Quote:

Come for a drive mate. We're only 4 from ya, the girls will enjoy it.
Bring the tent mate and pull up stumps in the backyard
I was knocked for six, when I read your post, Drew. Know that I am thinking of you and your family as you dig in for the fight. If you need to rage at someone, PM me.
Keep thinking positive Drew, I honestly believe that helps your body to fight.
It sure does....Quote:

At least no one asked you to pay for their damaged lawn today!
Please excuse my lame attempt at a joke Drew trying to make you laugh.
This is shocking news and my family and I wish you and your family all the best.
You did! Thanks.Quote:

As been said before Drew best wishes mate! Just try and remember you're always in the middle, there's always someone better and someone worse off than you. Your lucky enough to have a loving family with children who look up and are inspired by you and friends, new and old who will lend a shoulder or ear or kick in the pants if you need (lol) so try not to feel down mate, its just another one of life's challenges to make you a better person. Chin up! And you'll get there eventually, no matter how long it takes you'll be right champ ! If you need anything, yell out or even come past Alcatraz coz i'm always here even if you want to chew the fat :D
Here’s another ‘pick me up’ for anyone who’s feeling down ...... well that’s how I experienced it anyway .... a bit different to NP’s
