I doubt it Earl the LNP would have nothing to do with those commos and they will not hear of us importing bananas.

I suspect that Comrade Earl would deal with anyone. Indeed in my experience, Commos are an honourable lot compared to their capitalist counterparts.  

Earl's behaviour has the touch of Milo Minderbender. Our very own Milo on this site. I am looking forward to hearing of further outrageous trades involving Earl or Milo.

Sorry Old Dee I missed your reference to the LNP. Also look out for Cory Bernardi and his conservative revolution!

The other point to make is that Cuban bananas bend the other way, to the left, rather than to the right as you are looking at them. Not sure if this will pose a marketing problem or not? 

 

 

Must be that the Cuban girls roll them on their left thigh rather than their right, Earl?  Funny that the Cuban cigars don't give an indication of which thigh they were rolled on?

Anyway, maybe it also proves that our banana bending Qld friends favoured the right all along with their Aussie bananas. Must go all the way back to Bjelke's days.  

Oh and Earl, how goes the search for fair trade coffee in Cuba?  Any good 'brews' found that you could do a little importing of?  You know, sewn into the door upholstery of the Roller when you bring it back into Oz?

Not sure this heat is good for the banana crops.

Sorry to throw footy in here, but I was thinking that a good year for us, will put us in a strong position to grab a FA or two next year, so that we don't have to rely too heavily on the draft, with our fairly young list.

Yes...quite probably but what has this got to do with bananas I would ask !

Given it's Christmas I might try concocting some banana eggnog... Cheers

If we have a good year then FAs will go bananas? And be all over us like monkeys up a chocolate-covered banana tree? And they will kick lots of goals with bananas? And this thread will go even more bananas? And if we make the finals I will plant a banana tree in my backyard? 

Is that enough? :lol::)

Think you nailed it.

I assume you would be watching your banana trees grow, while lying on your banana lounge in the backyard.

I think you're right Redleg. We'll become an attractive proposition and dare I say it, a destination club for a couple of players.

How did this quote come to be allowed here. I just read about Cuban girls' thighs which piqued my interest then someone had to drag football into it. Back to google for me !!!

OD I suspect you are correct my Cuban banana deal is in tatters. I have been double crossed somewhere at the highest levels. I am currently licking my wounds in Cancun after being whisked out of Havana last night by my brother in law one step ahead of the local police chief. You may remember my brother in law sells vacuum cleaners in Havana, well the whole time I was there I never saw him sell one; I suspect he was so frustrated he started drawing pictures of vacuum cleaners as a side line I suppose to earn some pesos. I quite liked his sketches actually and remember showing them to a few of the regulars at the Wonder Bar where I would have my regular afternoon banana daiquiri. They were very interested in them so he had potential clients no doubt about it but when I mentioned this he went ballistic! Next thing I know we are all off to the airport to catch the first plane out? 

To add insult to injury I had my stash of real Cuban coffee, the Inner Party coffee confiscated by the communists at the airport customs. So I have nothing to show for my trade deals except a few kilos of guava paste! 

I suspect there will be no Cuban bananas in OZ anytime soon. 

And what about equal time for pineapples ? Another delicious tropical fruit.

Not on this thread. Only one fruit is the gospel on this site.

  • 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.
