The AFL had an extended pre game show. Unfortunately there was no budget and press ganged the players instead in a very similar way the old 'footy show' of the sixties had a team a week doing a cabaret act that made Fitzroy St look like the Follies Bergere !!

There was only a 'shortened"  game thereafter....started after the Little league encore

Entirely correct - there was no first half.  The little league started an hour early,  but eventually someone realised that they had a mixture of the keystone cops and the benny hill show out there, pulled them off and got the youngsters on, which improved the skill levels by  about 4000%. After that there were two quarters of AFL footy, and then everyone went home. 

I recently queried my internet provider about some incorrect charges. Here is an excerpt from their reply.

"Our sincere apologies these errors has not been brought to light earlier and amounts had already erroneous been extracted for the uncancelled ADSL services. We will ensure these cancelled for future reference."

Well that's good .... I think.

Who was the provider? We should consult them on the deliberate out of bounds rule. They could probanly clear up the confusion.

nfw.....bloody Irish logic !!!  foor fooks sake !!

Loved the story on the Tigers selections this week, saying they were decimated, as Prestia is out with Nankervis, who was suspended for one week. 

Two players who weren't on the list last year out ( one for a week suspension ) and they are decimated. Wow!

In a quiet moment I had cause to reflect on society and I can't believe how much this thread has added to a fairly ordinary world.

All contributors should be proud of themselves.

I can't even imagine how much a discussion on bananas is helping the Us/Nth Korea situation and being informed about the goings on at the Gatwick, must be so uplifting to the people of the Sudan and Rawanda.

We have done the world a great good.

Perhaps I might even be nominated for the Nobel Prize for starting this truly magnificent thread. Have you blokes got nomination forms handy?

Gee Red....bit early to be on the turps !!

Indeed dc but I have learnt when dealing with Telcos, power providers and such the email works much better for me. Phone enquiries always seem to end in tears.

Well I have to take issue with you here dc. Most of the movies I watch have a very limited soundtrack and dialogue.

However, the intent is clear and there is generally a happy ending.

Well said Red!!

And may I add, with  my usual modesty of course, that I'm sure my minor contributions about the wonderfully decadent and luxurious lifestyle at The Manor, has cheered up the otherwise sad life of many a poor person.
