With all respect bj. The issue here for me is how we got to talking about bananas. DC and myself were happily discussing Alexander Downer's Indian odyssey or was that another Alexander, anyway that doesn't matter, then DFrog takes over the night shift from WA and starts talking about Chinese bananas!

I think the main issue here is we are not doing proper handovers to the night shift in WA. I used to have this problem at work when I worked in operations. Shift change overs are all important. Of course no matter what we do it may all be wasted on DeeFrog. He does seem obsessed with bananas.

Shhh Earl.

I should have been watching the wife play hockey and not posting on the DL forum on my mobile last night.

Happy Wife = Happy Life.

PS I have no bananas in this house and the football is on today.

 

Speaking of which, the place that made my favourite banana smoothies has closed down, due to a redevelopment.

This is hard to cop.

Your are a Lawyer Red.

Surely there was some legal action you could have done to stop this from happening?

at least get it right.....it was a pygmy marmoset.....sheez!

And I bet the Pygmy marmoset is thanking the gods it was already dead.

 

When does the 2016 AFL season start again?


Both covered in cow shite no doubt.

No point in washing them,its gonna rain at sometime.

Sue them for lack of comfortable satisfaction? :blink::blink:

my sympathies red. We'll fly a yellow flag at half mast.

I empathise. A cafe i haunted until recently changed hands. Im not sure how you bugger up a banana thickshake but the new management have ( worked it out )

I , of course, had to seek new surroundings.

Remember Einstein's maxim: "There are only two infinite things - the universe, and human stupidity, and I am not so sure about the universe".

Surely jazza real men milk camels and don't wash cars ... :blink::blink:

Have to ask BBO about milking camels R@B.

After all it is womens work.

Having read about how camel milk is the new 'it' recently, and knowing that camels can be large, stubborn and very onery beasts, I am not sure I share your opinion (and for that matter, my mother, grandmother and two aunts all thought nothing of milking a few cows without machinery).

Not sure about the camels, gents. Isn't it the alpacas that are milked up Bitter's way?

BBO milks any teat he can get his hands on Maple. The rest he subbies out.

alpacas are just pygmy camels

if women milk camels who or what milks alpacas?

i'll let you ponder that


Went to the footy in high spirits yesterday. The sun was shining and I was to meet a classy sheila for pre game drinks.

Well it quickly went Sh ite as both Biffen and Moonie turned up at the same venue. Moonie looked as though he had just emerged from an op shop bin while Biffen was playing his respectable role and wearing a stolen tweed jacket. I could only assume that both of them had been lost in the outback recently as they began downing beers at a frantic rate.

I held on to my wallet very tightly.

They suggested enjoying the football together so, in deference to good manners I reluctantly agreed. However, my fellow members should thank me as we sat with the commoners in the outer.

An interesting day. Moonie continued to gush his unbridled joy for "Wills and Kate". He even became teary once or twice. Biffen seemed surprisingly and unusually drug free so was determined to make up for it by alcohol consumption.

Then they both became abusive and aggressive hurling quite vicious personal insults at all and sundry. Even nearby Demon supporters were appalled.

I have no doubt that a review of the CCTV will see them both (rightly) banned.

It is doubtful that my classy sheila will ever accompany me to the football again.

Edited by Bitter but optimistic

If I recall with greater accuracy, Uncle Bitter spent the afternoon leering at women nearby, regardless of age, race, religion or se xuality. You are the consummate equal opportunist Bitty. When I commented on a good passage of play of a goal, you brushed my comment off, as your focus was elsewhere. At your age, it's difficult to focus beyond 1 metre.

Biffen went out of the beer gates fast, downing about 8 pots in the first hour. The police must have been tailing him from the Gat because there seemed to be a high concentration of the blue brigade in the isles around our seats. I must say, its been a while since I sat next to someone who could shout so loud that the players on the far side wing jumped with fright. I believe I now have permanent hearing loss in my left ear. Thanks Biff. I rang the obscene behaviour phone number, but they put me on hold due to a large number of calls from our bay. BBO, your classy sheila will no longer attend the football with you because of your wretched halitosis, she told me.

Apart from the match, my 2 disappointments for the day were:

  • Watching Biff engage in a thespian conversation with the only Freo supporter game enough to sit near us, what a traitor to his class!
  • BBO and Biff stopping beer consumption at 3/4 time despite my demands to toughen up. Soft cooks.

Maybe a writ of Habeus Corpus, to Produce the Smoothie.

  • 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?
