Think you nailed it.

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

Yes, although I would add eating a banana split with a banana smoothie chaser

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. 

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 !!!

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

The last great tariff protection

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.

How about them?

Biff you are a capitalist turncoat if you think selling the Gat is in your best interests. The last of the great St Kilda slum houses and you give in to the corporate greed? How very dare you!

Landing in Devil's Island tomorrow.

With a bit of luck, I might be able to import the entire banana crop to send to Demonlanders.

Bananas. This thread was about them once, back in the good old days.

Yes, the thread has bends and turns, just like a banana.

And it tends to go a bit mushy.

You can always make a banana cake from the bad ones.

Valued at approx $10mill dc. He'll soon be able to shout us all a drink or 10. Probably shove the lot into pokie machines.

probably desperately needs the cash for his next import consignment after the troubles with the previous import and his export scheme of orange coloured baby formula.

It should be knocked down to even less than $10mill.

Once Bitters and his country mates come to stay.

I have huge plans for the place-but at the moment I have been housing destitute rurals from Scotsburn in the hope of getting them "hooked" on the Gat after which I will kindly purchase their scorched lands.
