I know highly intelligent people lacking all common sense, and intellectual dolts who are very 'smart' about life. There's always a strong possibility that an intelligent woman who elects to pair up with a man lacking in brain-power is just daft...or perhaps even in love, despite their disparate minds. You don't have to be clever to be sensible, or dumb to be silly.

Dost thou think gender war is the way to make for happy troll, Haydos? Let us stick to issues, as opposed to making inflammatory statements, ja - seeing as I'm really disinterested in defending my gender.

Is it just me, or do other people want to see our prima donna rowers all fail this time around?

I don't want to see them fail, but I don't think they'll win anyway.
I don't think they're prima donnas either.

have we won a medal yet?
i suppose it'll make the front page of every paper in the country if we do |

Nicky Coles was on radio stating that she thought the success of rowing meant they deserved more fans and funding, bemoaned the fact that she couldn't compete well at the last olympics because she was only semi-professional and ultimately suggested that perhaps they should reduce the number of people going to the olympics to give a better chance to those in medal hopes with more money being given to them.
The Twins are very similar with their interviews. The only one that remains personable is Rob Waddell. Personally Mahe Drysdale pisses me off due to his comments around the time Waddell was challenging him for the spot in the boat, stating that he should just be given the spot so he can be best prepared for it rather than have to prove himself - any other sport in the world? You have to prove yourself. |

Rat-brain robot - hmm....

Hungarian weightlifter dislocates his elbow at the Beijing olympics. Cringe-inducing. The clean and jerk has always seemed fucking dangerous to me...I'm surprised this sort of thing doesn't happen more often (then again maybe it does happen a lot among amateurs and you just don't see it much at the olympics because the guys all know what they're doing). |

I've also had quite a bit less than 3 weeks/year AL. Oh and worked a stack of public holidays, thus accruing the Alternate Holidays, all of which I *have* taken. I don't much like taking holidays - just means more work to do when I get back :/

My grandmother once told me that my grandfather never had one sick day in his entire career, and she met him when he was a student. He worked from his early 20s until his late 70s, incuding his post-retirement board-sitting and chairing, and political activism. Bloody amazing, if you ask me

Well, that was in the day where a company showed loyalty to their staff and also a different era than today.
Today, you're worked over by companies, especially if you hold a high stress job and those sick days are there to be used in order to ensure mental health, if nothing else. I think I've taken three sick days in the past four or so years, but have no issues when the guys are taking time off, they do a hard as fuck job, they need it. |

There is a close corelation here between the staff that take sick days, and the staff with kids, and it doesn't seem to matter whether or not they were concieved in wedlock or not, or if their mother had excessive penicillin use. |

These days most employers implore that sick people take sick leave, in order to stop disease spreading through the office. I don't think sick leave is a major indicator when evaluating a pay rise. Surely one's work effort whilst well would be a better gauge.

It's fucking disgusting sometimes. My GF's old work used to basically make her feel guilty whenever she called in sick. "It's not a good look" "You've been taking a lot of time off lately" etc. She's fucking sick, what would you rather, have her off for one day, or have her come in, wear herself to pieces, then either need to take three off, or infect the office and have 10 people off for the rest of the week.
