Yes ....they grow quite quickly. Yes wi fi, air con, a water bed, a 40 inch flat screen, bar and billiards table.

As I said earlier Special, sheer luxury! The stories I could tell you about growing up, six of us kids, in a shoebox on the High Street, no parents, they died before I was even conceived! Don't go looking for sympathy from me. Abject poverty can be character building! Look what it has done for me, Special. Toughen up, embrace your abject poverty and turn it into a positive experience, you can aspire to a better life if you just work hard enough. Now you may not get paid award rates but don't let that deter you just keep working for the better life that is always just over the horizon.

As long as the goods are not "Second Hand" then I'll trust the the handling fee is not tainted but a true reflection of cutting out the middle man! I reckon Biffen, Hemmingway,Earl Hood , Daisy Cutter, and Moonshadow, maybe even Dieter might all be intersted in acquiring a Little extra something! given your knowledge and procurement of such items!

BTW feel free to send mrs picket up to The Manor  at any time picket

You are just so positive Earl, thanks.

BBO ....the podcast......what an effort.....well done. Can't wait for Biffen next week. 

May our thoughts go to those suffering the low pressure system which was Cyclone Debbie at the moment. From where it crossed the flattened land and to today where parts of Sth east Qld can expect up to 500mm.

 

thankfully the banana plantations remain mostly okay unlike the damage inflicted by cyclone Larry and Yasi. 

So the good news you ask? Banana prices to remain steady for the time being unless supply is affected by transport - which could be likely, given this storms nature.

Not likely SR.

I am a private person with a private residence .unlike you I have work to attend to.Bitter obviously feels the need to opine to all and sundry on his cerebral impulses,which are as sporadic as a porn highlight reel.

I am not about to air my inanity any more than I do by text to barely literates such as you.

Even you have the intelligence to refrain from such nonsense.and you are an unemployable homeless cretin.

You'll need to remind "demonland royalty" Uncle Bitter what he said, as reports are circulating he was on his 3rd bottle of shiraz and can't even remember which of his servants he climbed into bed with at nights end. 

PS. I'd love to hear a podcast interview between Prodee and Stuie. Would get a [censored] load more than 34 listeners.

Ignore him Special, he is a nasty piece of work.

Consider this as Biffen's last pathetic wail. A cry from one who cannot accept that life ( like his exploited workers) has left him behind. His creditors are circling the barely warm corpse and he is reduced to drinking alcohol of a poorer variety than I use to sanitize the Lads' barn. Yet the arrogance remains - for the moment.

Payback will come when  Biffen knocks on the (figurative) door of your sad abode and you will offer him a bucket and squeegee to earn a share of the scraps that you and your dismal clique dine on.

On the other hand Special, I respect your homeless and poor situation, and welcome you to continue your pitiable life where you are.

PS Biffen. My porn highlight reels are not "sporadic" . In fact I have produced many a seamless narrative that push the barriers of artistic innovation.

My God, if there is one, this thread just keeps getting worse.

Yet you are constantly drawn back to it Ernie.

And, further, if there "is one", I am surprised that he/she hasn't cast your miserable spirit to perdition long ago

This is the game where we really need to smash Carlton and go on with it.

It is the typical game we would lose in the past 10 years. 

PS. Sorry to throw in a footy post.

Good luck with that Mr. Leg

Yes true Uncle, I am drawn back to it, but that does not give the thread any credibility. 

I have long known of my own failings but perhaps you need a new angle,

I suspect that only a few still visit this thread, 

I have an affection for you but its time to move on.

Let me think about it Daisy. 

I would not want to besmirch Gertrude's reputation. 

She was a God and me a mire mortal and admirer.

To "reclaim" implies that something has been lost.

How can this be on the thread that cannot be derailed?

Gawn paying 51.00* for the Brownlow ... nice odds. 

He could dominate a dozen games or more and with the no-third-man-up rule in vogue, he may stand out even more.  16 votes in his breakout year last season could be a pointer too.

One could say she pushed the envelope .

 

Just saw in what constitutes banter after the game, where commentators become even more indulgent that BT was asked if he was returning to Romsey.

is there something even more sinister that we should know about?
