Would love to be a fly on the dashboard, listening to the scintillating conversation.

A car trip to Canberra is something to avoid, although the scintillating conversation may pass the time.  I'm surprised Bitters mentioned the Merc as they are so passé these days. I am reminded of Steinbecks comment that "the less we have, the more we are required to boast."

FMD! What have you blokes got against a bit of fine (and expensive) Aryan engineering?

I will definitely need to keep the passengers side window open as i have heard from Biff that Bitters likes to drive whilst marinading in his foul flatulence.

Might end up doing a Special Robert and hitch hiking most of the way.

I know for sure he won't touch my deconstructed lattes or tofu burgers

Deadly treadley to Romsey first (leaving soon) then assess the state of the "merc", or shall I more accurately refer to it as the mazda 323. Haven't decided whether I'll hitch from there. Looking likely though dc.

Moonie will need more than bon voyage  dc! I have organised some special (well not to me) Saturday night entertainments.

PS. A message to picketfence . If you arrive at The Manor on Saturday morning you will not be admitted.

I take it you're packing quail,truffles and banana crepes for the trip BBO ?

Better put in some quaffable variety . Be aware of Canberra....its life...but not as we know it !! 

Well I survived the road trip with Moonie - just!

I have to say that these Greenies certainly show their true (un green) colours when out and about.

It only took 6 or maybe 8 pots of beer before Moonie starting harassing a group of innocents who were unfortunate enough to be seated in front of us. However, in all generosity I dismissed that anti social behaviour as a reaction to the shitty football result.

The best was yet to come.

I foolishly took Moonie to a halfway decent restaurant in Kingston. While perusing  the menu, Moonie was quaffing reds at a furious rate ...and ... after some time, gave the waitress quite detailed sotto voce instructions.

Well the meal that subsequently arrived would have challenged a starving T-Rex. It was a mountainous platter loaded with the remains of just about every unfortunate critter I could imagine. "Vego"  Moonie ripped into it while simultaneously pouring down sufficient red to douse a bushfire.

Just when I didn't imagine it could get any worse, Moonie decided to join a nearby group who were celebrating a birthday. "Join" is inaccurate - he decided to be MC.

He led several renderings of "happy birthday" and gave, some rather "familiar"  hugs ( read feel ups) to all present females.

I managed to drag him out before the police were called only to have him abuse and vilify an unfortunate taxi driver. It cost me a substantial tip to soothe that matter.

I dumped the drunken sot at the hotel and went to visit some respectable associates at Fyshwick.

FMD!

Lies. All lies. FAKE NEWS.

Hahahha bb! Therein is the wonderful irony.

It was a good time but Vego/Greeny was too plastered to remember it!

 

PS. His Sunday morning face was the same colour as his politics!

That had more to do with seeing an obese cross dresser in a hotel dressing gown with a full colostomy bag peeking out the back.

Not the best sight first thing on a cold Canberra Sunday morning

I just wrote an analogy about fighting unfairly and bought up Chris Lewis biting Todd Viney.

Googled it to get my memory juices flowing and he only got 3 weeks.

You could get more for. Jumper punch these days.

Probably hoping to copy the Tigers this year and Giants last week, with small forwards playing higher up the ground and I can't believe I am saying this, but with good ball use, flooding back when in possession, giving several options.  Or not. 

Gee I don't know. This thread is supposed to be salvation from HWCBN and Bullshlt.

This time of year nearly all talk re footy and MFC turns to BS ( more so than usual )

Nowhere to relax now

Not sure what you had in your coffee Bbo but it has definitely affecting your reasoning powers. He would struggle to get six in six weeks.

On current form, yes! Although if we have too much footy talk in this thread, BB will get upset ...
