I'd simply like to help you out with your grammar... you can say "he has rung the lady..." or "he rang the lady..." but not "he has rung the lady..." such a tense doesn't exist in the English language. I'm not picking on you alone, I tell Gareth off for non-grammatical posts too!<BR/>Be encouraged by the fact that the Docker's can't lose this weekend ;)karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016470541035567771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565213.post-57852975906519504002007-06-21T11:15:00.000+08:002007-06-21T11:15:00.000+08:00Look, I am bias, I am bias, I am bias...... but......Look, I am bias, I am bias, I am bias...... but....<BR/><BR/>"AN AFL investigator has heard allegations from witnesses that the political candidate Chris Tarrant punched in a Darwin nightclub was confrontational, inebriated and challenged the Fremantle forward to a physical fight."<BR/>http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/tarrant-was-provoked-witnesses/2007/06/20/1182019200971.html<BR/><BR/>what does Kevin Rudd have to say now?

Like it or not, Tarrant's got a history of poor behaviour in nightclubs, he was first acting inappropriately and then upon being confronted by Hale, whacked him in the face. But you'd have us believe that Tarrant was the man being wronged. <BR/><BR/>You're really just stringing us along, aren't you Mark? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565213.post-4702960521247051892007-06-20T19:30:00.000+08:002007-06-20T19:30:00.000+08:00Bias? :)of course I am.....No denial here.

Isn't that a bit of a double-standard.<BR/>If you complain of Tarrant being trialed by media, then you have to admit that Cousins was to a far greater extent. <BR/>You are very biased when it comes to your reporting so I'd suggest that you both eyes and see that the treatment Tarrant is getting is small compared to Cousins and his Eagles mates.Gareth Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355901264580255802noreply@blogger.com
