Never saw the film but my dad had those books which I loved, he did one called Mussolini, My Part in His Downfall as well... perfectly captured the absurdity, humour, incompetence, boredom and horror of war.

Excellent post!
Went deeper than I did and said it better. Top stuff @The_General
To be a little light-hearted, at the height of my doting dad phase I would post regularly on Facebook with pics of my daughter and by chance I saw on my cousin's timeline they liked this;
I kid you not, It's legitimately what made me stop and research the effects of our social media habits on our children
Once you monetise your private life basically as your 'brand' then that's when things get really murky.
It's not anyone's business? Then don't make it anyone's business.

No. It’s RazorHey TBR, your first name isn’t Tony is it?
Everyone's business? Not mine. It's the loud minority who make big deal out of it or think they have a god given right to make judgement. I'm here for the footy, not the Days of our Lives.
Who even knew Brooke before the COVID breach? Who heard much after the breach? People revel in trying to find faults. It's a sad world sometimes.

I hear you, Oldie. But still, if you don't like it, ignore it. What that Tony *smile* did is pathetic.
Sorry about that, nothing worse than being called that. Only applies to a select few.Great to have a fellow umpire fan on here, Razor! Even if you did champ me once.
Let me rephrase my point, if you don't want the public to scrutinise things you do, don't make things public.
If you invite people into your life in a public forum, you have to realise that you're going to get feedback you may not want to hear.
I don't give a crap about the Cotchins outside of footy, nor any other player. But if you do the stuff mentioned above, then complain about the consequences, I'd suggest not all the wires are connected in the upstairs circuit board.
Ripper post. We are about to see the first generation of children who have had their lives broadcast to the world by their parents. No child gives consent to this and yes parents give consent to so much more until children become adults but in what way is the child advantaged by having their lives recorded so publicly in perpetuity? I don't know why anyone who personally does not know the Cotchins is even remotely interested in their children. I find that quite creepy. And rather arrogant of the parents. I only wish the child well and a long happy life for all but need to know nothing else.

An old idiom applies here You made your bed, now lie in it.
Speaking of which that is what I am going to do now.

Damn he is so crucial to how we play. His work in traffic is top shelf and keeps the ball going our way.
