When did Conchita arrive back in the country? I thought she had left for good. Glad to see you two patched things up.

Hi Maple

Amazed you survived yesterday given the company you keep but yes Conchita is back from visiting family in Cuba and she does look and sound different, now that you mention it, but she said that she had some cosmetic work done over there. Her 457 papers were in order so it must be her surely? 

On other matters there is good and bad news to report.  After the Guava explosion yesterday Parker is still missing but the good news is my new Bentley has landed on the docks and has driverless technology installed so Parker was out of a job anyway. Amazing how there is always a silver lining eh?

Know exactly what you mean earl. used to have a Silver Lining myself. Goddamned nice automobile too. had to get rid of it you know. guzzled petrol like a bloody camel at an oasis. suppose you already knew that though.

Well I have had a fairly ordinary weekend.

i am off overseas later this week and had a few things to do before leaving.

No problem I told my wife going the footy Saturday which leaves Sunday.

so Saturday was an unmitigated disaster.

However after a cheerie evening with my GD I rose early today to get the jobs done.

Then tripped in the kitchen fell onto my left knee on the hard floor.

i actually thought I had broken my leg. But after a visit to the doctor I have a severely bruise knee cap.

so no work done today and some how I have to squeeze it in with a crook leg this week.

oh the joy of a MFC supporter.

I'm sorry to quote chapter and verse on you OD but I thought that all leave of MFC members during the official season has been banned since the Paul Gardner 'walk against want' fiasco during his 2003-2008 reign.

Do you have a 'get out of the G free' pass I wonder?

He who lives in a dwelling with transparent viewing ports should not chuck yonnies dc.

YONNIES !!! YONNIES /? Why Uncle Bitters haven't heard that saying for a loooong time! 

I used to chuck Yonnies at Cats.  My Dad used to chuck halfpenny bungers at em, he hated Cats! 

Funny to watch. he'd sit there with a [censored] in one hand and frothy in the other on the verandah ( we owned a largish property in those days) he wait for any sign of a cat calmly light the end of a bunger fling it at the cat the cat would look at it not knowing waht to do and then Kaboom! Never killed or maimed any but sheeit did it have the desired affect! We stopped having Cat problem and they migrated elsewhere probably the next property

Yonnies! 

GOLD!

Well 24 hours after the injury dc you will be pleased to know that I am progressing well with my recovery program.

Walking this morning without pain but still a tender knee cap.

I am confident I will be fit for the match before the end of the week.

Good to hear, I assume you are off to the old world old dee. If so, I recommend the bullfighting in Espana.

Madrid, Seville or Pamplona are all recommended.

To SEA actually Ernest so I doubt i will see any bullfighting.

At the planning stage I told No.1 wife we cannot go till after the Saints game.

Hmm that looks a good decision at this point. However the Knee is 90% today so all on the up.

I trust that the rest of the body is in working order OD!

Holidays can quicken the blood flow.

Great game, this club gives me so much joy.

Horses for courses seems to be the topic. Mind off footy for the moment. Which well known horses performed better on tracks like Flemington than that of the tight circuit of Moonee Valley? And conversely, which horses suited Moonee Valley to the bigger tracks?

Was Sunline a MV specialist?

I know Makybe Diva preferred Flemington.

The best horses though thrived at both/all tracks, when they had that extraordinary engine, power. 

 

 

When we look at St.Kilda, when they're on, they're definitely on. Their game against the Hawks proved that - good formline. I knew it was going to be a battle to win. They have a well planned and astute coach, who would have noticed our efforts down back against Essendon causing mismatches. 

We need a better organised back six. And I believe we missed Olivers clearance work and thought so last week.

To be honest, the venue is just an excuse for mine.

Biff you should go. The senoritas and their lithe and fluid bodies are something to behold.  However, they can be very demanding and temperamental so moving from place to place is an advantage. No need to learn the language only the language of love.
