Now Uncle you still have the actual money from your first pay. You never give anything away for free. The real cost is always in the fine print.

I shall happily give you a jolly good thrashing for free frogger!

    Very good Ethan, however, that advice would have been even better spent on the buffoon (whose name I have thankfully repressed) who played that most unfunny and cringeworthy character, "Straughanie".

    He has done very nicely out of Straughanie Bbo.

    Looks very bankable from this distance.

    For some reason this has posted twice.

    WHY CAN"T I DELETE MY OWN POST?

    Just a quick note to inform my vast and loyal readership that, come the Sabbath, Uncle Bitter is jetting off to the Asian Colonies to enjoy a well earned respite from  the onerous responsibility of manorial duties.

    Fear not though. A crew of toadies is eagerly awaiting the grand arrival and  your good Uncle shall be treated with respect due to one of high station.

    Unfortunately all is not pucker. It has come to one's attention, that due to bizarre coincidence, Biffen has also chosen this time to flee to the colonies. Further, and based on good authority, it seems his reasons are more to do with avoiding err... legal responsibilities than any form of uplifting cultural experience .

    Nonetheless, it's onward and upward, and given that the hospitality and accommodation set aside for my good self is of lavish standard it is unlikely that your ever kind Uncle shall cross paths with those that frequent common houses and ghettos.

    Be careful not to feed the locals. On my last trip to SE Asia I had a few shots of a drink that contained a dead snake in the bottle. I ended up in ICU, some sort of warning on the label. if it had one, would have been nice.

    Thank you for your concern Ethan, however, the libation you mentioned is more likely to be found in those less than salubrious habitats that one of my station barely glances at from the comfort of my palanquin.

    SE Asia is going to hell in a handbag, quite literally, if Uncle Bitters has his way.

    Me thinks he will come back with an extra servant for the Manor, perhaps what the local dialect refers to as a 'lady boy'. 

    I'm dialling Interpol's number as we speak

    Travelling there solo and going a couple of times a year I’d suggest he’s already on their radar :) 

    I collect spoons, if you see a nice one Bitters please think of my collection.

    Bitters, I thought men of a certain age with, err... how shall I say... a history not dissimilar to that of Woody Allen... were banned from leaving the country.

    Ethan, it's time to pull the cuffs out. And I'm not talking about the fur lined ones

    I have imbibed a similar drink Ethan.Fortunately,along with the other potent drugs Asia has to offer, none of them can harm me.Only after drinking the Cobra blood did i realise it contains the venom present in said snakes fangs.I admit my heart slowed to a snails pace but i thought that was due to the heat.On this journey I will stick to drinking Uncle Bitters duty free gin.

    Looks like nothing can kill you Biffen, Demonland's answer to John Wayne.

    PS. Autocorrect on my phone changes Biffen into buffoon. I blame Stuie.

    How I miss him. His non stop pursuit of equality and moral superiority was the perfect antidote to my actual achievement of human perfection and unquestionable wisdom coupled with my spiritual and intellectual godliness.Sometime one needs a snivelling rat to kick into the gutter to reassure oneself of such a thing.

    I see what you mean - something that makes your hair go instantly frizzy with shock, as distinct from the the other type of aphro.

    I assume Biffo is the only one with cranial hair, so he may have to provide the appropriate visual effects, a la Curly of the Three Stooges.

    Must be an awfully powerful drink!

    Just taking a break from spreading good will in the Far East colonies

    chanced upon biffen yesterday - he was drunk of course and invited uncle to a luncheon

    It was a surprisingly decent tavern and despite being surrounded by his shady associates and a poor choice of wine the tucker was rather good

    come bill paying time Biffen fell for the old chestnut that I'd left my wallet in my room safe

    bwahaha! One to uncle bitter!

    That "can of coffee" I asked you to bring in for me will more than cover lunch.For at least the next decade.An old mule for a hard road say I.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
