Don't expect a reply for a few days Moon - I believe Biffen is having a short term of rehab.

Bit rough.  Everyone deserves a little leeway when they go a bit Colonel Kurtz while in Asia.

    Biffen deserves a jolly good thrashing. I'm sure he'll be a reformed man after a few doses of the good Doctor Hopping Dick's electrodes.

    Well things are a bit quiet here.

    I must say I'm a tad disappointed with the less than totally enthusiastic response to my return to Demonland. I thought Ernie, for example, would have been overcome with joy at my return. But nary a word. I know he's dead and all but that doesn't excuse rudeness.

    And what's happened to my old mate Stu?

    Oh and a bit of news. Biffen emailed me from the colonies. (BTW he's currently hunting those dangerous water buffaloes with an anti aircraft gun)

    He's begged me to tidy up some of his sordid business affairs. A nasty matter indeed but he's only offering a pittance for my services and want's to pay me in Dong.

    What a thankless world it is.

    Perhaps you could send a dozen to The Manor OD and I'll give you the benefit of my destroyed palate.

    Welcome back Bitters, however, you are rapidly becoming our Dame Nellie Melba of this thread. Like an old burlesque or vaudeville performer that is addicted to the applause and wants to hear it again. However, you do add a little something to this thread and most of us do find you well......amusing. 

    Lovable is a bit of a stretch. 

    Perhaps the act is getting a little tired and needs freshening up?  Floggings are a little passe these days. 

    Perhaps a few new tricks to maintain the interest?

    Have a nice day inside the darkened hallways of the Manor. However, beware of your eyesight.

    Remember that if you open the door the light gets in !

    Sorry to be so reticent in my response.

    From my humble position my access to demonland is restricted to late night binges followed by periods of self enforced abstinence. Often the effects of this thread alone are enough to induce bouts of uncontrollable delight similar to drug induced states.

    I am also finding that the expanding commentary on success now entering Demonland almost compulsory and certainly comprehensive.

    However this thread is certainly my mandatory reading and I am pleased to see again your alternative truth wisdom on display. Trump may claim some ownership of this method however I think the evidence is historically available here that demonland contributors have invented and mastered this technique.

    Perhaps yourself, Biffen an other notables should mount a campaign to the good old USA to receive appropriate recognition of you efforts.

    Look forward to conference detail

    May I mention how lucky you are to have me back.

    I have been to a re-education program , in a dark room,isolated from society.

    The experience was both humbling and meditative, providing me with the opportunity to review the mistakes of others and reflect on them in an attempt to find forgiveness.

    "twas a dismal failure but but I managed to catch enough rats and bugs to sustain life.My usual opulent lifestyle requires periods of abstinence occasionally anyway.

    Sadly,I've noticed Bitters is back and has been his usual ungenerous self especially to poor old Special Robert.There will always be a broom cupboard for you at the Gat if you behave yourself SR.

    As some token gesture towards rehabilitation ,I have generously signed over the Romsey Manor to an Orphange in S/E Asia.BBO doesn't know it yet but I tucked the title away after my last luncheon there.

    It's in a better place.

    If it was in a better place it wouldn't be in Romsey. Couldn't be located in a worse place really.

       Moon we all know you're an inner city trendy with chardonnay socialist views,crowding out the working classes with your over-priced ,over-renovated terrace house and 3 investment properties crammed full of unused "How to vote Green" cards and flyers but that doesn't give you the automatic right to pour scorn all over the simple country man with his rustic habits and poor hygiene.

    Although the estate has that "lived in, genteel poverty" type feel, it will be a good place for the orphanage,after the cellar is filled in and a liberal dose of anti-septic is applied.

    I realise most of the Calder highway has towns that should be bulldozed in any sane world but Romseyites  view themselves as like the poor cousins Macedon and Gisborne never wanted.

    Not only that, it keeps the unwashed a safe distance from the CBD so you can enjoy your soy chai lattes without deserved ridicule.

    How very dare you! Deconstructed decaf latte is my choice Biffen. 

    I am not a chardonnay sipper either. One thing I share with Uncle Bitter is enjoyment of a good shiraz. Unfortunately, its usually it's a case of him quaffing mine...

    I have just arrived at the home of the big banana, Coffs Harbour, a cultural wasteland if I'm any judge. Melbourne supporters would be thin on the ground in these here parts. The average IQ has jumped since my arrival. I must say in it's favour that it's a thrill to know that the bananas in the supermarket have only travelled 3 kilometres to get there. Also the banana trees appear very lush and healthy indeed.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
