I believe it was more of a General Lee melody type thing that grates on all captains of industry.

You see when sipping their espressos, perusing Inside Rugby on the good form of Union greats such as Del and co, that kind of silence breaker is enough to blah blah blah ......

"No Gary no, no Gary no, noooooooooooo Gary"

Talk back radio hosts and most of their callers are walking contradictions - they make out they take the moral high ground, but generally do the opposite in real life. And to actually get through is a bit of a task, so the caller might as well make the story sound really good to get a reaction. me thinks this is one such incident.

We all know that there is a bit of naughtyness in everyone, god forbid Swans included, but honestly the toffs at Balmoral are just a joke, who are generally totally crap drivers and think they can reverse out of their triple car garages without a thought of anyone being on the road. And correct call - if you are reversing out of a driveway - and you hit a passing car - doesnt matter if they are two abreast - the reverser is at fault. Granted it can be a bit tricky backing the Bentley out when Pru & Trude have double parked accross the gold plated paved driveway in an attempt get their nofat-decaffe-soy-latte, with 5 sugars, but bloody hell - if honking horns is all that is the problem, that person needs to get out more.

I reckon one of you Sydney siders ought to ring up and claim to be the (alleged) Swans players, and point out that this guy was backing out of a driveway without looking and the only reason you tooted your horn was so that he wouldn't back into you. :tongue in cheek:

It isn't damage control, it's taking an opportunity to show that the "bad" in the Swans extends only to honking horns. They're counting on the comparisons to "worse" clubs and teams..

It worked.

From the SMH:

If honking horns is as bad as it gets with the AFL, clearly all the boozy nights and mobile phone calls that surround rugby league are proof that they play another code, on and off the ground.

Nice Joyce reference in the first para & so close to Bloomsday too.

I think that puts the whole episode in perspective, and makes some of the "morally superior" on here look a little foolish.

One isnt allowed to start up a whipper snipper until well after Brunch on Saturdays - it destroys the rarified "serenity" to do so before then.

I'll have to ring the local Salvo's and get them to get the band out there early on a Sunday morning.

Does that make the rest of "morally inferior"?

Yahoo, I've finally made it! (I put it down to hanging out in Manuka with Wardy.)
