Interesting article in Saturday age recognising the significance of banana prices.

confirms the the foresight and relevance of this this threads contributors

The premise that we react one way or another in our economic outlook depending on the prices of bananas probably says more about our distant knuckle dragging forebears than any sense of fiscal reality

The banana smoothie is an accepted leader in the smoothie genre, but the banana milkshake lags well below chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in the milkshake department.  

As Professor Julius Sumner miller used to say on TV some years ago, " why is it so"?

I think the addition of a large dollop of ice cream and some malt powder improves the banana milkshake immeasurably. Of course, with those things added it is no longer a common or garden variety milkshake. It is a thickshake

We've always understood the particular significance of our yellow tasty fancy. :P

We're quite an enlightened mob really... Well, mainly.....well some :unsure:

interesting yes, eccentric yes, diverse yes, perverse yes, off beat yes, sicko yes, cerebral....at times, enlightened....I will have to think about that...,,  

I haven't ventured onto this thread in a number of years, perhaps five hundred hundred pages ago, but I'm pretty sure the same conversation about bananas and smoothies was going on then too and between the same posters. With all that has happened in the world in that time it is almost reassuring to see some things don't change. 

Will check back after Flag 14.

My memory of milkshakes is they always had a scoop of ice cream. A thick shake had 3-4 scoops.

The talk of bans, moderators (how Orwellian is that), political correctness, fake news and Donald Trump has given me cause to rise from my slumber and re-engage with the world, in particular, this thread. You realise Biff that my posts or lack thereof are mood related. But Trump, Turnbull and Bernardi have got me going. 

We are as happy or as unhappy as we decide to be Hem.

Great to see you back on deck.

Whilst none of us can ever agree on a definition of truth it seems,a few truths are hitting home to the Parliamentarians.Cory really timed his exit/re-entry beautifully but then he never stood for an election to get in.

Cutting travel allowances for ex-ministers is probably the greatest thing the battler from Point Piper has done so far.

My two least fave porky politicians are Kim Beazley and Alexander the Downer ,yet they know the system well enough to have gotten themselves diplomatic posts.

Their daddies must have taught them that one.

"Here's how you do it son,we will get you the seat,you appease everyone and don't make waves,just do your time,then when everyone knows you are only doing time you'll have plenty of mates to give you a soft landing in a nice house OS.Pass the gravy train/boat please and get me the dessert menu."

Take one aluminium mixing container. A " deep " scoop of vanilla icecream out of the big tub. 3 good squirts of desired flavour. Fill to about 2/3 with milk.....under the mixing 'propeller' it went.

Pour into thick milkshake/parfait glass and together with leftovers in the ally cup... Presto...there was your milkshake. You invariably still got to play 'stab' the icecream as there was always a little blob left.

Think i need one right now !!!

I  must have consumed 1000  before I was sixteen.

Warning, don't light a banana at the beach, you could get "smoke on the water".

Why is everyone so disappointed with Nicole Kidman?

She started her career as Queen of the town bikes,

Built her international face on a Cruise ship

and now seems to be an Urban play thing.

Nobody is Lily white......

 

 

 

Ok-I admit i worked on that one.

Still makes me more worthy of hosting the Oscars than Billy Crystal.

Who has died recently

Again,

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
