Interesting info about the history of Tasmania, thanks demonlanders. You learn something every day!  I can't recall too much about Australian history from school. The only thing I remember is that Matthew Flinders sailed down the east coast from Sydney.  He entered Port Phillip bay through the heads and went on to mount Martha. That surprised me because I had thought Martha had stayed home in England.

Still haven't heard from the good doc and he doesn't appear to handing out his usual indiscriminate thrashings.

Is it possible the doc cavorted a little too enthusiastically during the abovementioned rites of summer and did himself a mischief?

What's that thing about doing unto others? I tend to prefer that direction. First anyway. 

Have been enjoying myself of late poking feathers at Crusader Biffin and reading about nineteenth century s-x crimes in Vienna. No connection of course.

The more things change the more they go backwards, daisy. We get by jumping from satellite to a Telstra mobile broadband service to using an iPhone as a hotspot. But there was a 7:30 report thing a while ago on a bloke who has to put his iPhone in a plastic bag and hoist it up a tree to get any sort of internet so I can't complain (and no one would listen anyway).

Good to know that things are moving so fast in the metropoli though.

yeah, i saw that report. very impressed with his resourcefulness. must be a bushy thing. but seriously, have they talked to you about moving you to the new satellite? it did sound like a big improvement for satellite nbn, but maybe it is reserved for other areas or some such other bureaucracy?

We're completely in the dark about the new satellite and it doesn't seem to have helped ease the load on the existing one. We have outage after outage, only some of them planned. Assuming the wet arrives soon we'll probably need to connect to the web via semaphore.

Hope you're right 'bub. Will we have to rely on Telstra to get it working though?

A communications engineer has told me that Telsta is overcharging the NBN access its infrastructure and pits, which are full of asbestos and disconnected lines.

Privatised Telstra is now destroying its own competition through arbitrage and sabotage.

Our Bitter correspondent has asked me to inform you that he is taking a week off to practice his diction and cultural awareness.

It seems a typo made in poor taste has offended someone worried in case of somebody getting offended.

Bitters was guilty of stereotyping our Asianneighbours ability to pronounce the letter r.

I suppose the decades he's spent teaching Asian children English  must have been interspersed with some Hey Hey it's Saturday!!

I did buy lunch at a shop called " wok and lol" today and funnily enough it was busy with customers and not a single placard in sight.

In conclusion I think the punishment is just  for such an archaic evocation.

I expect he will be flagellating himself  vigorously in contrition.

Hmm, this looks suspiciously like posting by proxy, another clever effort by BBO to slip past any scrupulous mods who might visit here. That's highly unlikely I suppose.

More alarming is the information that he's been allowed to teach anyone anything. I though proponents of Dickensian education techniques had been shuffled off into administrative jobs long ago.

Anyway, didn't you say in another thread that you were off for a souvlaki at lunchtime yesterday?

I'm back from Tassie. In my opinion Uncle Bitter would make an excellent teacher. On that subject I noticed in Launceston there was a Steiner school.

My question is .........How is it we fought two world wars to have a German education system?

Xin. Chau Chairman Dee.

I have just been awoken by the voice of communist radio and big sister!!!

Bbos joke would fall very flat here.

Nodody talks out of turn.

You would love it!

Also , you can crack a beer in the AM without a batted eyelid in sight!

Gotta love the commos.

Ive had a chance to speak some terrible French already .

On the flight over I learnt more about the Silk Road.

There are pots and jars from the Middle East found in an excavation here that dates back to 8th C!

Still no huge take up of contraception in Saigon judging by the traffic.

And the other news I can report is that I'm a mutli- millionaire .

Ive been grasping my Dong with unrestrained joy!

Very pleasing that you have arrived in Vietnam without harm, Biff. You don't mention, though, whether you caused any on the way.

My sister was there a few years ago and loved it. She's always talking out of turn.

I expect your bad French to continue. It's our historic duty to offend against the language, especially wherever we find the remnants of their failed colonial enterprises.

I won't venture anywhere near the bad Dong puns. I presume you'll return with at least six months' supply of these. If not, you could bring back a stick-on Uncle Ho beard for BBO to wear to the first game of the season.

It's pure capitalist propaganda DC.

there have been way more than 50 serious crimes at the Gat.

Looks likeScott Cam and co are trying to push out the elite so Dee Jolly and the other tasteless bogans can ruin the joint with their faddish deco. 

Bourgeois scum!

They encourage the children to think outside the square .

Then they [censored] them if they do.

It's a uniquely German approach to innovation.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
