    Someone else posted that they were a bad husband/father, but when you opened up the thread, it was like a Gay horse asking for food. (HHHHEEEEEEAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!). This was a counterpoint to that. 

     

    Next year she will be officially listed in remission. (5 years cancer free). That will also mean once a year visits to her doctor for annual checkups. Right now she's every 6 months. 

    Those checkups are still nerve wracking and then you realise not to let it define you. Onwards and upwards.

    Is there anything you think was bad or cheesy you remember fondly?

    Classic Who had some of the worst special effects, but the cliffhangers were 'da bomb'!

    The Doctor: "You!  What are you doing here?!"

     

    Captain Tancredi: "I think that's exactly the question I ought to be asking YOU...Doctor."

    I remember his companions though!

     

    Always scary seeing Davros or a Dalek. 
     

    was it Leila (?) and there was an episode with a black bottomless pit, the alien was like clingwrap, scary.

    I once was offered cocaine from a guy in the bathroom of a club when I was maybe 19. I laughed at him, saying you want me to buy something from a guy in a toilet! Worked in many clubs where the dealers would offer in exchange to stay. Did doors during the Underbelly years in Melbourne, drugs and drug shootings or beatings were common. It’s was pretty clear, even to Bobby Boucher, and that’s why we don’t smoke crack.

    What are some of your favorite Christmas songs??

    I always remember working as a bouncer one Christmas at ‘the Coach and Horses’, a pub known for some trouble, close to several different patched bikie groups, outer suburb. It got brewing one year as 2 groups had their break up. The Security boss went and Christmas Carols on and started singing & in no time at all, the whole pub was drunk and singing carols with the boss conducting them. It started off with… it’s beginning to look like Christmas. So that song brings back that memory.

    Sepultura next month. Metal Church then in December.

     

    Kreator and Blind Guardian in February. 
     

    I’d need to sell a kidney to afford Iron Maiden in September though, asking like $400 a ticket. Seen them plenty in the past will suffice.

     

    Ross the Boss is back next year too.

     

    Knotfest, Slip Knot’s festival is on again too in March. Last time was Slip Knot, Medgadeth, Parkway Drive, Amon Amath in the line up. This time I think Pantera is the only real headliner.

    Try watching it in Australia.
    Not only is it played upside down, but it starts at ridiculous times Monday morning.

    Yet, with 2 boys named after Bills, the ex-wife still doesn’t know that, I head off to the gym, walk the dog etc. secure in the fact I don’t own a T-shirt without Bills on it! I whinge like everyone after a loss, especially after THE season of promise. But I’m still wearing the colours that day and the next. I watch minimal TV and spend as much time as kids allow with them. The time spent on the Bills is a welcome distraction, what’s sports are supposed to provide us/ entertainment. Are you not entertained? BTW Minecraft is a no, shooting hoops a yes, shopping for clothes 🤮 but I’m there.

    Find the fun again.

    "Head of Govt".... it's just a ceremonial position, isn't it? It's the lamest thing that people in the US even follow this.

    Victorian Parliament stops until every minister’s re-affirms loyalty to the new Monarch. There’s been some conflict with this as the Republican movement steps up, how do you declare loyalty to the Monarch and then want to remove the Monarch…. In the 1970’s the Queen’s representative, the Governor General sacked the Govt. of the day causing an election. Apparently the Govt. was going to sack the Governor General but he got in first, being the Queen’s representative. My understanding is that the ceremonial aspect is to simply ensure that the Govt. Is acting within the Westminster system lawfully and basically signs off on things when required. Not sure if there’s been another conflict to which they’ve said, nope, not signing that.
