I suggest you take your helicopter and land on the ground, in the style of Peter Hudson, with a team of pompom waving cheerleaders escorting you to your seat.

The pink helicopter is being serviced, Bronnie may have a special offer on hers.

In your dressed down camouflage and assuming you will travel to Spencer Street; then pop across road and catch the Port Melbourne tram. There is a stop assigned for the oval. Should not trouble one such as yourself too much !!

Thank you bb! It is reassuring to know there are still gentlemen in this world who can give a lucid and polite reply to a genuine request.

 

Unlike others.

I thought my suggestion to be practical as well as satisfying your fantasies. Sorry for being an ideas man and thinking outside the square

Yeah, cant help but miss old Jizza. Poor bastard, it can be a harsh world we live in.

I hate to get maudlin but having read the Sin and the Rage over breakfast, I can only feel more depressed at the state of the world we live in.

[Channelling my inner jazza]: Come off it you old grump! Go play with your pretend cows or something! Us real workers have had lunch before you are awake! I don't have time to read the papers, but if I did and they depressed me, I wouldn't read 'em! Man up, mate! :blink::lol:

So let's do it (digitally).

Not sure where you're going there Moonie??  Do I detect a prostate awareness campaign coming on?

But it did bring to my mind that famous song by Olivia Neutron Bomb : Let's Get Digital....

Well it is mission accomplished as far as I am concerned

Two months ago I conceived a cunning plan to derail the Hawk's 4peat campaign, they were on a 7 game winning streak, had beaten the Swans in Sydney, demolished the Tigers and had moved 2 games clear on top of the ladder and they were giving me the shytes no end. And as the wife and in-laws are all mad hawks supporters there was a high level of tension in the household every Dawks game night as I have a developed a pathological hatred for them over the years for obvious reasons.

My plan was simply to place a large bet on them to win the flag. I haven't placed a bet on anything for 20 years because I have never won so much as a football club raffle in years of buying raffle tickets for local causes and as for horses or tattslotto forget it. In short I had put the "Curse of The Hood" on the team.

Once the bet was laid at 4.5 to 1 in my new Sportsbet account, I found I was totally calm on game night and was quite happy for the Dawks to smash their opponents. It was quite therapeutic actually.  And I really did think the Dawks were a real chance to win the flag as their main competitors were looking to be in average form.  And the winnings would go toward my next project to buy a C3 corvette stingray that my wife believes is utter folly. She keeps saying it is impractical to buy a 40 year old, gas guzzling, 2 seater with barely enough luggage space to store a tennis racquet. I mean really what would she know! 

A few weeks later I watch the Dees beat them for the first time in 10 years, Stratton goes down, then the Weagles stitch them up and Ceglar goes down and all of a sudden the team looks old and slow but still has some fight left. And they certainly looked slow on Friday night as the Bulldogs ran all over them. Mitchell, Hodge and Gibson all seemed to be losing form over the last few weeks and they looked very human and battle scarred.

Poor Clarko must have been scratching his head and the sports journo's as to what went wrong but now you all know the real reason.

Looks like I will have to save a bit longer for the Corvette

But please remember to gamble responsibly!

Well done Earl !!!! You've taken a hit to the wallet in a bid to topple the Evil Empire !!! And it's paid off.  I went to the game on Friday and was vociferous in my support for the doggies. I joined in in a tender moment by the crowd as we booed the Hawks from the field at half time. Right in front of the Hawthorn cheer squad which wasn't so much cheering the Hawks as sitting there mute. I called one of the maggots a criminal when he ignored a blatant free which should have gone Footscrays way and suggested at one point that they give Hodge a whistle. The Hawks fans around me didn't like my comment that Hill will enjoy Perth after his stuff up gifted the doggies a goal. I discovered today that my Hawthorn supporting doctor had been sitting behind me listening to my running commentary and he seemed a bit cool when taking my blood pressure. He will get over it eventually. I will probably get over the smugness and the arrogance of the average Hawks fan during these last several years but it might take somewhat longer. Right now I'm enjoying the derailment of the Hawthorn juggernaut like all right thinking footy fans will be. Let's hope the report of the death of the Hawthorn Football club has not been exaggerated.

So when the Dees are struggling next year, Earl, can we pass around the hat so that you can put a few dollars on the Dees not making a preliminary final? :lol:

Jolly decent of you to take one for the team Earl - particularly since have suffered some other financial setbacks of late.

However a word of caution. It does not do for we of the well to do class to show signs of generosity. It leads to no good.

It can set an unwanted tone and before you know it exploited workers are seeking a pay rise. Next thing those numeric visa types will want to move out of the back shed and demand fresh water.

We don't want to sow the seeds of revolution do we?

On a personal note, perhaps the good "Lady Hood" would be more amenable to the corvette if she wasn't concerned that you may use it to parade the hirstute Conchita?

Oh well toodle pip. I think shall give some of the staff a jolly good flogging.

A round with The Fence in a white HT Holden. The tastes suggest that the girls were all class. Even if you take the Holden or the Fence out of the picture.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
