I would have thought it quite alimentary pineapple

Lucky I got out of Melbourne when I did, the natural disasters appear to be getting worse and more frequent. Have they rebuilt from the earthquake in 2012?

I drove past the Elwood Canal last night  near the Elsternwick Golf Course and the canal had broken its banks and flooded the southern end. If you're planning on a quick round of golf there today, I think you can forget it.

I suppose Elwood will be filled with the Debris and refuse, washed down from St Kilda,as always.

I remember it well.

All this carry on in Christchurch when we still have to deal with the aftermath of our own natural disasters.

The struggle continues ....

Trump's Cabinet

Biff to be head of justice and economic development

BBO to run the Presidents Secret Service and Department of Complaints

Moon would be in charge of the Department of Defense and Propaganda

Whisper may run the courts but his honesty and integrity would be a problem for Mr Trump

 

Welcome to 2017, hopefully seeing the Dees back in the finals.

Crap, and I wouldn't work for Trump in a pink fit anyway. But it will be worth a laugh or two over the next couple of years to watch him implode ...

Just had a binge-read catch-up of a few pages of this thread. Had a laugh or 3 in doing it. Thanks to the regular stalwarts for keeping it going over the off season. And to the other warts as well - the hog warts and the wart hogs, and maybe the genital ones too.  You know who you are.  

A belated Merry Dec 25th and HNY to you all.

Go Dees 2017

Yours truly is off to Indochine for a  sabbatical .

I will be lying low in a village of sympathetic mercenaries , reading T.S.Eliot and eating lychees.

I look forward to sending you all some communique from the dense jungle through my minions so please be aware that some of my  missives may be badly translated and this is in no way due to a ready supply of opiates and cheap beer, but rather that my translator has a pronounced nervous tick from repeated beatings.

Australia's new trade attaché for SE Asia Biff? 

Hope you haven't left Uncle Bitter in charge of The Gat during your sogourn. He would easily sign it up for a shallow transformation on The Block.

Rest assured the Gat will be under the command of a lieutenant .

Bitters will not be allowed near the place until he pays his outstAnding accounts with the various traders contained therein.

Biff, with the greatest respect it is always a bit of a worry to hear about single middle aged men going to the fleshpots. Well we have heard about save the children but to add some decency to this thread, save the locals. And as a decent man, you will pay appropriate wages or tips not slave labour cash transactions like so many exploitive corporations worshipped by those seduced by the capitalists. Or those middle aged men that are seeking nourishment of their material desires rather  than nourishment of the soul. There is no price to be paid for nourishment of the soul.

No Moon, not when it is 38 degrees heading to 40. 

On days like today, keeping up the fluids is important and in the interests of good health.
