Well, if someone shows that they learn from previous mistakes then yes they get credit from me. Just a difference in the way we see things I guess.

Yeah, I am not big on giving credit for stuff that someone should be doing in the first place. Especially when it comes to friendship. There are exceptions, like recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. Them I give credit.

I wonder of Tim will get the cranks with Jade for revealing personal info about him - or did she just say that as a cheeky payback?

(I say Tim is with Tully and Jade is with Drew ;))

Haha that would be disaster in your fancy that Tim and Tully, Jade and Drew are dating

Come on, Tim does not deserve that! I know I ripped him about the coordinated outfits theory, but I don't wish that on anyone!

Nobody's perfect though. In my experience, there is often just as much strength in amending behaviour and learning as there is in doing everything right the first time.

Double friendzoned. Sorry Timmy :D

Cant believe Tully is back in Melbourne the day Drew is supposed to get back. Can things get any more obvious?
 
Thought I read somewhere earlier today that Tim said Jade only dates footy players. I too have wondered about James Magnussen but am not even sure if he is in the country at the moment and we know Dan Churchill is also overseas.

That was said with humour.

I'm far more shocked at the revelation that Tim is dating someone than Jade is.

Unless they're just being shits again and playing around with it for publicity and not actually dating anyone.

That why I wondered if it was just Jade giving Tim a cheeky payback - I wouldn't put it past them. They do seem to just enjoy themselves in harmless ways.

Nobodies perfect, but I think there is some fairly basic friendship standards that are not tough to carry out. Amending behaviour is good, but I feel like society should be more rewarding to people who don't behave badly. I think there is not enough credit going to people who do the right thing, rather than screw up or be wankers and then change. Because those good people don't get the credit they deserve, they get forgotten.

But Tim's range is so much wider than Jade's. He copped to basically wanting to bang anything in the house. Tim has more options.

It is worth a mention but it says a lot about him as an individual that he gets credit for that. Its like giving credit to Barry Hall for not assaulting someone on the field. Most guys don't punch other players but this guys gets "credit" because he has previously behaved like a wanker and is not doing so right now. There is something wrong with that to me.

There's a bit of a difference between being a blabber mouth and assaulting people don't you think? :rolleyes:

I agree that credit isn't given to those, and then I know myself that I cherish those friends and the same they would for me. So that's a knowledge thing that doesn't need to be spoken. If one of them did something to me though and were sorry for it, and I could see they learnt from it, I would definitely acknowledge it because I would have called them out to begin with.

Absolutely. You're in for a very lonely life if you hold people to ridiculous standards where you kick them out of your life the moment they fuck up and can't forgive.

That's obviously discounting serious issues like cheating and assault in relationships mind you.

It's good that you could do that. For me, if a friend broke my trust I would not. Even if they were sorry for it, I would not trust them again or give them credit for being sorry. It might mean something that they were sorry but I wouldn't call that credit. They might make an effort to change and that's fine but it would make me give credit to my other friends who has not broken my trust rather than the one who did.

This is more a debate about friendship and deserving admiration than something to do with HM's, isnt it?
