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?

I believe Gertie batted for the other team?

You have no respect or decency. Given your own interests I would have expected bitter.

Wouldn't think it would be an invite but can agree that it would be a deserved flogging 

Has anyone seen Uncle Bitter and Brain Taylor in the same room?

Just sayin'

Hope we bring our A game to the G sunday and no injuries.

Brian or Brain Taylor? I am not sure who Brain is! Certainly not the bloke on 7 surely.

I feel for bitter but optimistic's pecker if we do.

The Anthony William Watson McDonald-Tipungwut reminds me of Wonnamuri.

You think so?

If we lose today I will be blowing chunks.

I can't see it happening.

I'm hoping we can smash them by about 15 goals and start the press  gang turning on the little talking computer they have as coach.

Buckley,Bolton,Eade,will all be sacked during the year in long slow assassinations.

Should be fun.

We have enough fronts already. That's the lesson of Napoleon's retreat, not to mention the ignominy of Barbarossa.

Also, I remind you, winter is approaching. Going to war at the MCG in thongs and a T Shirt is no longer appropriate battle wear.

Never too early. 

I have learnt from history. I am a forlorn prophet on Demonland.

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. 

 

 

At least Hemmingway, both you and I retained some semblance of dignity and rare humility, not to mention literary credo!

Not sure about taste though. To even contemplate an affair with Gertrude is an un-abideable abomination. Mind boggling juxtapositions.

If you had ever spent an afternoon with Gertrude you would not say such things Dieter and you would then understand that there is more to a person that what meets the eye.

Although she appeared in a couple- she weren't no oil painting .

Yes, James Joyce told me in his quaint Irish Brogue that, basically, she was a swell gal. Perhaps you may have had an affair with Ezra Pound? Now, there was a sharp mind...

The Barossa has had some ill effects on me  I'll admit Skinny but I would not call it ignominious.

I actually teared up as I passed some very familiar names when I drove through there the other day.

BTW, speaking of wine, have any of you boozers read that the tax on wine is under review? It seems we may have to pay more for a decent red but I'm not sure what impact it will have on the fourpenny dark that Biffen and Moonie   quaff.

Won't effect old dee of course as he shmoozes free pinos. (Which he refuses to share I might add)

You'll be hit the hardest Uncle Bitter as the tax is based upon volume, which means your goon bags might double in price to as much as $8. Might even have to drink using a glass vessel rather than the usual 'layback' technique. Culture with a capital K.

I'm more of a Brunswick-type craft beer man. They don't sell by the goon bag.
