Moonie, you just beat me. You are 100% right.

PD think about it. He can't be right because without women there would have been no Greeks and for that matter no Romans or Italians to introduce women to the concept of you know what.

    Romsey is the place Ernie. I care for myself and exploit the community as much as possible.

    i am glad you have contentment at Romsey Uncle but how do the local community feel? Although I suppose your needs are very specific and the local yokels are quite suitable. My guess is that it's very much a case of Stockholm Syndrome.   I think Snowtown also sounds quite pleasant. Or even Wantirna!

    Can it be a coincidence that if you take 'sy' out of Romsey you get 'Rome'?

    I think the difference may be that Rome is the home of classical antiquity and as all Demon fans would know is actually called Roma in Latin.  Suspect that Romsey will never be known as the eternal city or be regarded as one of the birthplaces of Western civilisation, let alone attract tourists other than poor unfortunates that find themselves off the beaten track by listening to Siri. God help them if they find a hand painted sign post to Romsey manor.  They will find a bed but not one for rest.  Having said that I had forgotten that The Vatican City is also located in Roma and currently is the residence of Georgie Porgy Pell. By comparison Uncle and Romsey Manor may be a better place for an overnight stay.

    Ernest, you are letting the side down, mate. Surely Greece is the home of classical antiquity! The Romans certainly had the world domination part down pat, having learned from the downfall of Alexander the Wog, and were handy at engineering, all things military, and building arches on every second corner. But when it comes to counting or calendars or democracy, I am sorry, but they suck.

    Perhaps the Vatican in the time  of the Borgias might be more in keeping ... :)

    Rome, of course, was named after Romulus. If it had been named after Remus, it would have been called Reme.

    I was of course thinking of Democracy.

    So why wasn't Rome called Romule?

    You've got me on that one Red. 

    Dont forget, " Be it ever so humble, there's no place like Rome."  Or should that be     Romsey ?

    Good thing Rumpelstiltzkin wasn't around then.

    it's even simpler and weirder, r&b. change the 'm' to 'o' and you get 'Roosey'  :o

    It's caused a lot of pain but where would we be without it.

    In reference to Greek inventiveness.

    Immediately people jumped to other less noble Hellenic traditions.

    but what could be more perfect than Democracy?

    It is a little more disturbing to think that changing the second 'o' in 'Roosey' gets to 'Romsey' :)

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
