I recall learning that Elizabeth I had a bath once a month "whether she needed it or not" ...

Collingwood supporters would see no problem with that R and B.

nothing unusual in that

there is only one bath (shared) in romsey and it's more than a month when your turn comes around

mind you, queens in romsey get preferential treatment

imagine that room, red, when the fridge had been on the blink for a few days

I suppose it would be a good place to meet people.

Depends on the sort of person you want to meet. It sounds like it could be a medieval Gatwick ... :) :)

In the 18th century they washed clothes and linen with animal urine.

Something that still happens today in Romsey.

also jazza, feudal japan was very short on fertilisers and soil was poor in nutrients

all human waste was collected daily and spread over the fields

no doggy bags then and walking the fields was a hazardous task

early europeans (who smelt pretty bad themselves) described the awful stench of the countryside

how is the diet going, red

i'm losing weight and i'm not even dieting or exercising

getting that tapeworm turned out to be a good move

thanks biffo

While not sticking strictly to a Paleo diet I am eating less and drinking more water.

I have some scales on holiday but they are not very accurate. Depends if you lean what it shows.

Get home on Saturday and back onto regular scales and would expect a small loss.

Might try and go a bit more caveman when I return. That doesn't mean belting the wife over the head with a club either, especially as I would be scared she would belt me back harder.

"drinking more water" There 's your problem Red!

Please note! We of Romsey's polite society will not be drawn into any puerile discussion of toilet or personal hygiene habits.

Although, for those who have a genuine interest, I will note that the chronic fungal issue appears to be under control.

Has that helped with attracting the ladies?

Wary, but still dating them.

Exactly the same, so not too bad. Problem is, WJ is dragging me off to Chinese Restauarants and trying to sabotage me.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
