But then, what can one do. What would I do... I always wonder the same. Is being realistic ‘not fighting’ to recover? Can one be both fighting their damndest AND realistic? Maybe if one keeps saying they will recover they’ll begin to believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted March 31, 2023 @drol was right - QO for Doug Mulray: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-2909483/Video-Triple-M-pay-tribute-Doug-Mulray-formed-station.html Sadly meaningless as no-one picked him for the DDP this year, or indeed ever.
