Greetings from Havana I was hoping to catch up with Hemingway but can't find him. I have been to all his old drinking holes but no sign of him. Otherwise the weather is very balmy and the rum is flowing freely in between my official engagements of course.

does havana remind you of fitzroy, earl?

    Earl I am told he spends this time of the year in Key West!

    How nice to hear from you Earl. I trust you are exploiting another 3rd world economy for personal gain.

    Do you intend arranging some of those 357 visas to get some decent (and cheap) help?

    Nice one Earl.

    Hope you are Havana good time.

    I am with you in spirit Earl. However when you have been lying around for as long as have its hard to become energised. It's all changed so much that I am sure I would not recognise my old haunts. My old flames are also the worse for wear. it's depressing to think that Cuba is now being viewed as a market by the imperial powers and its old foe is now seeking to exploit it shamelessly. I would love to go back to my old Cuba but alas it has gone. Never go back is my motto. The memories are all that matter.

    I have it from a reliable source (Chris Judd's grandmother) that BBO has another month holiday from Land. Thank god for that! His mindless drivel, crass humour and down right slovenly ways are a blight on this fine forum. I put it to the mods that upon his ungrateful return, he be given the all time mother of jolly good floggings, preferably delivered by special robert or enyaw.

    just curious

     

    p.s. why the automatic double spacing? isn't down sizing all the rage?

    Are you certain?

    Next year happens to be a leap year.

    No WJ, I'm not certain. Just a wild guess for amusement.

    Ernest I could have sworn we were together in spirits, gallons of them,  the other night at the Hotel Ambos Mundos. I know I had had a few too many Cuban Libre's but I was sure it was you.

    While Fidel lives the Revolucion continues! But not after he goes I agree. I am here on assignment with only the best interests of Cuba as my guiding principle of course. Tomorrow I head west toward the mountains with my brother in law who owns a vacuum cleaner franchise in Havana. I am not sure why but he has been acting rather odd lately, we are going to be looking for installations or something in the jungles apparently? Thought with your knowledge you might have some idea what is going on.

    Don't drink the whiskey! And don't put your thumb over the lens when you're photographing the list of spies.

    Earl you are a man after my own heart. An adventurer who will experience Cuba to the full.  You sound like a wise worldly man but be careful. I found in Cuba that your friends could also become your enemies. I woke up many mornings after a big night grateful to be alive, relieved that my throat had not been slashed. The mention of mountains and installations has me worried though. Be careful Earl, be very careful. Please keep us posted.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
