well for one, her name. Estibaliz Carranza is a very strange germanic name for an austrian

Read the fine print, DC, ignore the salacious pictures, she's a Spanish National, of Mexican descent.

Apparently into ice cream and concrete.

So much so for being a 'Used Ice Cream' salesman.

    That is the wisest thing said on Demonland so far in 2017. In fact it could  take the crown for 2017.

    Yes, strange place. I was born there, fled when I was two. Then my parents thought they were going back but forgot about the difference a consonant and a vowel or two makes. Ended up among the Scotch thistled paddocks and outside dunnies of North Sunshine ( So we're back in Scatland.) 

    I've never recovered.

    Most of you have missed the great literary genius behind this post. And English is not my mother tongue. Ah, the poetry and symbolism, Scot, Scat, the simple fact that a german knows the difference between a vowel and a consonant...

    Pearls before pork munchers, and those who abhor the meat because in the olden days it rotted before a sheep or a cow or a horse or a camel or a donkey did. A refrigerator would have changed the kosher habits and aversions of all Semitic people, their Muslim cousins and brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers included, and given them the benefits of what my favorite Lebanese Deli in Orrong Road used to call 'Kosher Ham.'

    you spoke fluent german when you were 2? i'm impressed dieter. of course sunshine was not a good place to learn english so i can sympathise. i grew up with irish parents (what the yanks call "ulster scots") so my english got off to a bad start too, not particularly helped by having german/polish jewish neighbours. still, being able to swear in 4 languages gave me kudos

    oh, i forgot and a young viennese migrant couple as neighbours on the other side

    You sound blessed: being able to swear in 4 languages.

    Not even my father swore. Or my mother. I was distinctly underprivileged.

    Ah, what treasure, German/Polish/Jewish neighbours.

    I had the Morris Family, Doris Morris, who married the two timing Terry Twomey, and Ronald Morris who called me a poofta because I liked Beethoven.

    Still, I was able to bowl him out mercilessly when we played cricket, mainly because I was fast and because at that time I was the greatest living German cricketer.

    That was after many years of fruitless overs. And, I admit, he kept encouraging me to bowl faster. He had no fear.

    Of a tennis ball.

    Ah, not to mention the privilege of being an Ulster Scoot, that wonderfully rich cultural ancestry of dwelling in bogs and being sustained by the noble Taittie.

    I envy you, most of all, because of that inimitably poetical cascading Irish brogue.

    About time this thread got interesting.

    Just ate fried nanas in Ha Long passed off as Vietnamese.

    I've eaten them in Australian Chinese restaurants since the 70s

    Ha long bay would be beautiful, probably was ,but too many humans here now.

    The N/S divide is very much alive.

    Call it South China.

    Saigon is a rats nest, but Vietnamese all the same.

    Still beats Borewood by a by a thousand miles yet nobody here is as sophisticated as Our own DC.

    I will make a quick comment on the ridiculous banning of Bitters for writing  "flied lice" or whatever it was.

    The most innocuous comment ever in light of the fact that the Chinese may be the most powerful nation in our time. 

    Add to this their entrenched racism.

    Add to this their population which makes them dominant globally.

    In comedic terms We discuss"punching down" or up.

    Bitters was punching up .

    I'm not sure who banned him and we don't get too OTT on these issues here but I request the Moderator that made that farcical decision to quietly hand in their tin badge.

    I would add the Clunes riots were probably in order if anyone here has ever shared a hotel lobby with Chinese tourists en masse.

    Dr John, whom I respect for his intelligence,though often disagree

    with,is hopefully not the person responsible .

    The complainant was DLs Resident SJW.

    I'm a solid contributor here.Love it.

    So are others whos ideas I dislike. Does not mean they are invalid.

    My point is that the censorship here is getting OTT.

    Can I suggest we ban a poster based on more than one complainant , and check the track record of the whining regular Mrs Mangles.

    I'll invoke Jazza here- who made some crude comments at times but lived a solitary rural life and was a man of his time.I don 't believe he ever meant racial harm but might have caused some minor offence to be taken.He was a minority ,even in his own country.

    My main point is, stop the naivety ,stop the PC bans unless WELL deserved.

    I love Demonland and hope it grows with our great club.

    Race exists,as does religion and politics.

    Can we be adults here and make valid points without recriminations or is it Commo China?

    I'll defend Aboriginal Ozzies to the hilt but FFS I need an explanation.

    Please Explain.

    You can't beat a good old fashioned banana fritter to wash down a cheeky Chinese meal. Ice cream, cream, caramel sauce and some purple stuff.

    I love a good Biffo rant. Should be more of them.

    In fact, I have a theory. Has anyone seen Biffo and Titus O'Reily in the same room at the same time???

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
