    I assume there'll be plenty of noisy celebrations on this thread later tonight at the ascension of Bananaby Joyce to the leadership of the Notional Party.

    I remember on a Shaun Micallef show years ago how whenever the name Barnaby Joyce was mentioned, it was immediately followed by three women dressed up like the Andrews sisters singing "Is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?". Very clever I thought, but I guess you had to be there (and if you know who the Andrews sisters were, welcome to the Old Farts Club:):o )

    BANANA ALERT

    There is a serious cyclone forming off the Nth. QLD coast which could do serious damage to the banana crop.

    This may be the worst problem of 2016.

    Will it roar ashore and devastate the noble fruit?

    Oh please no

    I think I will go back to bed!

    Rest assured, Mr Old, the Tweed Valley banana farmers will quickly fill any gaps in the market ... at the usual inflated prices of course.

    Gee interesting chart there DC. I am amazed that there were only 139 bananas produced in 2012 and only 18 bananas exported in 2011, hardly seems it would be worth it. I mean I eat that many myself in a year so thank heavens we produce heaps of our own here in Oz.

    18 bananas a year wouldn't keep Redleg in smoothies, or OD's granddaughter in banana splits ... :)

    Well, a banana bender has to bend the bananas. That's his purpose in life. The question is whether the bending changes the taste and culinary performance of said bananas. If there's no impact, bring Bananaby on!

    Good to see a full page spread in today's Age (page 31) on your good self DC, the Ghost Who Walks. What I didn't know and you have kept to yourself, such is your modesty, is that you carried out a special assignment for Prime Minister Hawke back in 1992! What was that secret assignment, to take out Keating?

    • 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.
