That's professor darling to you.

It's clear to me rugby league players and clubs in general want to be seen to be more respectful to women.

It can be frankly insulting. It can be a kind of backhanded way of saying you have no professional or public status.

Darling, that is a long way in the future.

You look fabulous, darling.

Perspective basically guarantees that there’s no such thing as a pure emotion. Every emotion is based on how sucky (or not) something is in relation to something else that has already happened. I realized that Hy and Marcus and my ankle wouldn’t be so huge if I had experienced a Hiroshima-size disaster.It kind of makes me wish that the worst thing that will ever happen to me will just hurry up and happen already. That way I could live the rest of my life in bliss, if only because I
know how much worse things could be.
