Grounds for divoice, I would have thought Earl. ;)

I am just a mere Justinian to my wife's Theodora perhaps. If you know the story.

Not that I want to be accused of being a lawyer or something. Far from it Justinian was about more than his revamping of the code.

    What can I say here I am in the cold back room at home tuning into my old television to look at not the ashes but the SBS series on Byzantium while SWMBO and several other female relatives have commandeered the main TV to watch that abomination, The Voice! Barbarians! Anyway it is a bit cold but I have a bottle of red to keep me company.

    I have a theory that red wine can solve the climate change debate.

    I always find that by late in the first bottle or early into the second, any concerns about cold, or any other variation on climate seem to magically disappear.

    Good one bjDee by the way have you managed to ride your bike to the Wild Timor Coffee House in coburg yet? And you are right I am no longer feeling the cold even though there is no heater here! It must be the wine.

    I hope that's not one of those fair trade coffee shops Earl.

    If there is one thing I don't like it's a fair trade.

    Where would enterprise be without exploitation?

    Whoops it is perhaps the ultimate fair trade coffee shop Biff. I have told the story before but again for your information the origins are from some Aussie peace keepers working in Timor Leste who stumbled on this valley in upland Timor and found these locals tending ancient wild coffee trees originally planted by the Portuguese a few centuries ago. Anyway the locals were being exploited and nothing for their beans but the OZ peace keepers bought a few hundred kilos at a fair price and brought them back to Coburg and so began the Coffee house. Good story I think but yes it may test your moral standards Biff.

    Well, Earl, I'm sure the bike could make it there, but it's rider is not yet capable. I've looked at it via the goggles on the goggle map but have been hamstrung by a couple of hamstring injuries brought on by that wretched game of hockey that I insist on playing. I promise you I will one day make it to Timor on the bike, but should I be looking for Wild Timor or Timor Leste? And if I go off course and hit West Papua, is it just a turn to the left to get me to Timor?

    I am quite sympathetic to the Timorese Earl and I will let this one slide.

    I'm sure the billions we rob them for on the gas fields will cover it.

    Good point Biff I am impressed with your empathy for our colonial friends in Timor Leste. But given I have now finished my bottle of red in the back room I am wondering how did we get here after I was watching Byzantium? After all I am still lamenting the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

    Yes well we would need to bring the portuguese into the equation if we are to travel further east.Perhaps another 250 years.

    Better open another.

    No retainer Moons, just can vouch for the coffee, it is top shelf. Great coffee places deserve to be publicised because they are fairly rare.

    With about 7 games left, they are saying Frost is out for 5. You would think they could just say season and be done with it.

    But then they would be lying.

    Uncle Bitter reporting in ferals.

    The squeeze and myself had a gift voucher for a Yarra Valley Winery tour. Used it yesterday - 4 wineries, Lunch and accomm.

    I can only remember the name of one of the wineries - St. Huberts - so that may indicate how the day degenerated. There was another couple on this tour. Never seen anything like it!! They were actually spitting wine out !!! cAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

    Anyway good old Bitters laboured on and sloshed down anything put in front of him.

    I had a great day but still a tad worse for wear.

    The squeeze is rather silent on the matter. Can't understand sheilas sometimes.

    bbo, if i might suggest that if the squeeze was most unimpressed that next time you do a grand yarra valley wine grazing extravaganza that you take stuie along instead

    that way you might be able resolve your apparent (and very public) mutual cyber stalking of each other over a glass or two

    you could either glass each other or partake in some real stalking (so to speak)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
