Two bottles of decent Shiraz per day is a far better health option Earl. Also, spend more time with the servants- calories a plenty can be burned off exercising with the maids.

Thanks for you advice Uncle B and sorry for the late reply. I prepared a tasty, nutritious meal on Monday night, a lightly grilled fillet of lean kangaroo leg with a small quinoa salad washed down with two bottles of Paul Osicka Shiraz 2012 as you recommended. Well I seemed to have missed Tuesday somewhere? I remember not feeling well, obviously something dodgey with the salad and decided to go to bed but I woke up face down in the bathroom and a check in on my mobile showed it was Wednesday? I think I need to re-evaluate the fitness advice I have received here on DL. Wellbeing programs need to be individually tailored I suspect.

Apparently the reversing beeps went on for safety. Would be hard to tell the front end from the rear with him.

Fire away with your questions for @stkildafc young gun Tom Curran or @melbournefc starlet Christian Salem.

 

 

I never realized Christian Salem was an aspiring young actress.  Thanks for letting us know, AFL.

I would have thought an afficianado like yourself doctor, would choose a reliable Singaporean rattan !"

Reliable, yes, but our Singaporean friends have surrounded the administration of the rattan – as with everything else on that all too orderly island – with far too much bureaucracy. 

We are more simple folk here, given to more simple country pleasures. While it's true – as you yourself noticed during your recent visit to Queensland – that we in the north treat our bananas as if they were members of the House of Lords, trussing them up in plastic bags, in most other pursuits we are inclined to the most direct route. I had meant to say much the same thing to that Moonshadow chap after his pleas for the use of the cat. Given the association of that implement in the popular imagination with rum and some other unmentionable maritime activity, it seems just a little too complicated for me.

Bamboo canes are readily available here since various local fools have taken to planting them as windbreaks. The Hopping Dicks BDSM group assures me that they are no less effective than any other method and have the advantage of assisting in environmental control.

My father, who was the president of the local ' under the bridge wine appreciation society' loved a cheeky red but he demurred imbibing from a glass jar..  He did have standards to maintain. Much of what I know I learned at his knee.

Sadly there are a few idiots in the world DF

Most seem to support Essendrug and Collingwood so that probably says it all.

I have some very sad news about thepassing of an Demonland Poster.

I know you all will miss Bossdog.

But there is nowhere for him to hide after making such a negative statement about bananas.

Biff the problem is he lets go with one hand and then quickly grips with the other. A change is as good as a holiday.

I am sure all will pleased that Uncle Bitter is able to post again. My computer has just returned from extended hospitalisation. It required some transplants plus a miracle cure for the technological equivalent of a combined Zika and Ebola virus. I suspect the lads have been using it to surf South American porn sites.

I notice OD has been posting some remarkably positive comments on this site and can only put this down to a near death experience caused by a combination of single malt and free Pinot.

The good Doctor also made a comment which I found perplexing - "The Hopping Dicks BDSM group assures me that they are no less effective than any other method and have the advantage of assisting in environmental control". I don't intend arguing the efficacy of bamboo and/or rattan but rather the very existence of The Hopping Dicks BDSM group. I have an up to date listing of official Australian groups and they do not appear. While it is possible they simply have not paid their affiliation fees, I think it more likely they are a small family owned and operated organisation rather than a rogue or outlaw group.  

As to Earl Hood and his Paul Osicka Shiraz 2012. Yes it is a decent Heathcote drop but you should have bar b qued the roo leg over a 44 gallon drum while sloshing it down from Riedel shaped plastic cups. (I will, however, give dc some credit for his advice about the quinoa salad - a pretentious addition in my opinion)

My profession is grateful to all those who contribute to this thread.

It's saved us a great deal of time and expense in our research efforts.

BBO with the amount of po rn you drool over on your computer, I'm surprised you haven't yet invested in a water proof cover and gutter drainage system.

I presume you haven't quite got the hang of this virtual reality thing when you're practising your disciplinary techniques, BBO.

As for the local group, who pays fees until they're obliged to? They're looking forward to your efforts to pursue that obligation.
