Thank you all for the wonderfully unfunny posts. I've just enjoyed Nasi maguluring for makan pagi - maybe my last as I'm waiting on an air Asia flight to Jogjakarta . Stayed at an $18 per night losmen last night. It had a pool - roughly the size of my dining table

    Anytime ... :) I presume, then, that Uncle Bitter is not The Man from UNCLE? :blink::blink: And perhaps you have the world's biggest dining table? :)

    Is it legal there to whip a rickshaw driver like a racehorse? We'll soon see.

    The law is an a.s.s they say and can be bought just as easily.

    I would expect it is all a matter of discretion for our intrepid correspondent .

    If the pace was fair enough he is likely to be kind and merely bark orders.

    I think the Palanquin has been outlawed but I know Bitters was lobbying the Indos to bring it back.

    The addition of the wheel would be of great relief the guy doing the monumental Task of moving Bbo post diet failure,from eatery to eatery ,like a grotesque, sweating sloth.

    Djancok BBO

    Say a tidak tahu kata ini.

    Air Asia did the business and I am safely in Yogyakarta and being venerated by the locals. Enjoyed soto ayam for lunch today and washed it down with several bintang. Just wandered around Jogya''s red light district. It is pretty tame but the beer was icy cold. I knocked a blind old beggar lady over but otherwise no real entertainment

    Well, in fairness, how was I to know it was the girl's first experience of a chronic fungal infection?

    Thanks for the offer Jizz but it would need a Richter scale shot. Nothing like a tropical climate to get the best out of a bit of fungus.

    Wajahmu sangat cantik sekali BBO, for those who don't understand, I said, you have a very pretty face BBO

    I have to say I've never considered that line as a conversation starter!

    "Hi, my name's Uncle Bitter, are you familiar with fungal infections?"

    I think it needs a bit of work Red - perhaps some advice from Lothario?

  • Quote

    My sources tell me that BBO may be doing a Kurtz some time soon. He is getting [censored] in the tropical lowlands so far as we all know but his real mission is to go up river to engage the tribes and who knows what from there as he goes into the "Heart of Darkness". Oh the horror! He is a long way from Romsey that is all I will say.

    I hate to do it but I must be serious for once.

    Today I had the pleasure of visiting two Islamic Indonesian families. One was an older couple who had their daughter , husband and three kids living with them The other were a younger couple with 3 kids who had developed an agricultural business from scratch .

    I visited them because I know a relative in Australia.

    Their hospitality was warm and generous. We discussed ( with some language limitations) a variety of topics. like us they aspire to a good life for themselves and a better one for their children.

    They practise their religion but were unconcerned by my lack of it. They were appalled by recent events in the world. I have Been to Indonesia a number of times and find this attitude to be typical.

    I just wish more people had the opportunity to see everyday Indonesian people in their own home

    It is every day people who abuse Muslim women on Melbourne trains. It is everyday people who swear at and vilify islander bus drivers. I am not naive to the reality of politics. My point is if every day people were a little more understanding to the fact that, if one looks,one will find common aims, desires and beliefs then they may be slower to stereotype.

    You are correct on one point Jizz- I did guzzle beyond reasonable limits last night and an only just emerging from the fog.

    Actually it was a warung and the grizzled old girl who ran it had a profitable sideline. Young guys would choose a bottled alcoholic drink which would then be dispensed into a soft drink bottle. They then head off on their motor bikes.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
