But, on the strength of it, the Number 2 Ticket Holder in our little old league is yours. Hemingway, though only 116, is deceased - and famous - so he holds Number 1, posthumously.

    Thanks Timothy, very decent of you. Remember though that although there is a very short material life, the spiritual life is ever present and ever lasting. As time has passed I believe that most of us connected by the eternal spirit soul. Even Bitters.

    Your time would have been longer had you not decided to blow your own head off in the study.

    You did manage to produce a beautiful grand daughter ,Mariel ,who starred in some terrible movies.

    I think she topped herself  ,which we can blame you for also.

    Edit:it was her sister Margaux ,which you never would have known ,as you were dead.

    Unfortunately for you your own father and siblings were lemmings as well.

    On that cheery note ,i might go read some Kafka or Orwell to brighten things up.

    I have just completed a comprehensive task risk assessment and a triple bottom line analysis of my proposed Cairo to Constantinople odyssey. Looks like it is dead in the water. Can't find an insurer to take us on I am afraid. I am now proposing a boat trip from Cairo to Constantinople. How we actually get to Cairo is still worrying me but leave it with me.

    Via Syria of course. That'll get the insurers excited.

    LOL. I'm sure we can arrange a match report for that. And for a small fee we can provide such report in advance of the game.....

    Thank god for the insurers otherwise there would be some Demonlanders missing in action next year and forever more. Sensible decision Earl. A boat trip with other Demonlanders may be a little cramped depending on who joins the trip. Perhaps 2 or 3 days in Constantinople may be sufficient with a mandatory trip to the steam baths for Bitters, Biffen and Picket. Frankly, Spain is looking better by the day, traveling overland through the Basque Country down to San Sebastián and down to Granada and Seville. Tequila, paella, senoritas and sunshine are a heady mix. And perhaps a bullfight for those wishing to get the full experience. No problems with insurers, however, lots of stamina is a prerequisite.

    Earl, it comes as no surprise, of course, for one of your class, but you are clearly showing the tendency to make this trip a combination of a section of the Odyssey and the voyage of the bogan terrorists setting off in their tinny for the Middle East. Perhaps we could throw in the original Kon Tiki as well, so that all of the world's great sea voyages can be celebrated by recreating portion of them on Earl's Boat Tour of Middle-Eastern Hotspots. Sounds like you should organise the route to Cairo to include a close look at the pirate-laden waters off Sudan, and a search for the land of Prester John as well. For a small extra fee, perhaps go looking for the Holy Grail while you are at it ...

    BBO, I'm sure that will only add a premium to the price of the paste that Earl sells. 'New and improved massage paste as used by a randy butler and a housemaid. Limited edition. May contain traces of pubes and nuts'. Should bring out all the perves in the Fitzroy and Brunswick area.

    That might have worked once bj but nowadays every manufacturer and business fears litigation.

    I can't think of a worse choking hazard than a pube at the back of the throat.

    bitters you are intelligent and clearly a man of interesting and varied tastes and behaviours but you do let yourself down by dropping your normally high moral standards that I would normally associate with others. Why do you do this? Some may think you have a personality disorder although I suspect you are tired at the end of a busy day and just enjoy an old fashioned stir by making outrageous comments that are  often in bad taste and unbecoming of a MFC supporter. Of course I suspect that many turn to this page just to read your comments and blatant exhibitionism which encourages your perverse comments. I am one of those readers that is intrigued by your madness!

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
