Re: Ask Carroll
thats a real interesting comment "what women hood owes you". A women only owes her children. End of story. We, men, aren't creditors in any way shape or form.
Re: Ask Carroll
So what/who does a man owe?

Re: Ask Carroll
i'll tell you what I don't owe you, is any further explanation, elucidation or really anything more about this subject.
Re: Ask Carroll
Fair enough.
Re: Ask Carroll
Don't know if you misinterpreted the context of the question Nick? It wasn't aimed to be directed towards your own personal story rather Davros's comment following that.Nick Carroll wrote:i'll tell you what I don't owe you, is any further explanation, elucidation or really anything more about this subject.

Re: Ask Carroll
That's a very open, brave and honest piece earlier on Mr Carroll. I often wondered over the previous years whenever the subject was broached in any forum by other members, why/that your opinion was so strident - and short for a man of your wordsmithing capability. Perhaps you've solved that now if it needed solving.
Indeed No further explanation req'd

Re: Ask Carroll
For fuck sake it wasn't a commentary on Nicks experience I thought the statement was very thought provoking and God forbid got me reconciling my own experiences. The writer without intention helped me pick open a gangrenous scab. No offence meant to anyone.

Re: Ask Carroll
Ah I don't know really. AB had a ratio of some sort figured out. Not as long as say Phil Myers or Jim Pollard. I think it's more about fitting them into the other aspects of the board, mainly the rocker.

"A women only owes her children. End of story".
Well you can shove that statement right up your a$$ Davros.
My wife owes me plenty:
- An explanation on why she walked out on our marriage with no warning or discussion and did it over the phone when I asked when she was coming back.
- An explanation on why she used her father to go me for money within 2 days without any discussion or thought to custody and the future of our son.
- An explanation on why she was seen with another bloke in the weeks leading up to her walking.
- An explanation of why when I organised a meeting to discuss our sons future she sent her father to hit me up for how much money he could take instead.
- Valuable time with my son which to date she has denied me of.
- An explanation why as soon as I was diagnosed and started treatment for a bought of depression she turned her back on me straight away and offered zero support.
What she does also owe our child is the right to spend valuable time with his Dad as much as possible.

So just back on this againgardie wrote:Thanks Nick
I was getting the same thing for the Rio Billabong pro so even with a naming sponsor they were still putting up a blank screen while I assume the US and Brazilian ads ran as well as any pay TV feed
So I assumed it wasnt worth the effort for the aussie market or as some one suggested maybe its not worth playing a bong bikini ad to a grumpy old prick like me
As well as doing the webcast, they're sending live feeds to a couple of different cable channels - those wave-replay gaps are providing extra airtime for those cable people to run their own ads.

I'd like to think that Mr Carroll keeps his "clinkers" tucked away discreetly in his tight yellow board shorts.diggerdickson wrote:Nick

Re: Ask Carroll
Natho, have a look into mediation if you haven't yet. It's easy to organise and works towards finding common ground (and sense) between parties for doing what's best and right for the kid. The goal is a parenting plan without going through the courts. Happy to dig up the info and contact details for the Sydney based services if you need/want it.
Re: Ask Carroll
Hey Nick, are you set up as Pty Ltd and if so do you do your own quarterly BAS statements or do you outsource?

Re: Ask Carroll
Ummm yep I am and I do them myself, my business is very simple and it doesn't require intricate bookwork. I always put it off as long as I can but also always take an odd pleasure in doing it, this worries me in a way, am I really an accountant? Did I miss my true calling? what a shame if so.
Perhaps the pleasure I take in it is a bit more disturbing -- perhaps it is the pleasure of a natural conformist finding his little niche in the exercising of a small bureaucratic necessity.
