You are treading on thin ice with that line in this thread WJ.

I won't be in a better mood tomorrow as my favourite horse Briefed, who was running 2nd at Flemington today and was probably going to win the sprint final, bled, then was eased out of the race and will be banned from racing for 3 months.

I am 100% certain that is undoubted cause for a banning Mr. leg. However the big problem is how we enforce it. Hmm!

Bloody hell OD!! You must be hammering that single malt if you are resurrecting posts from 7 years back!

Sadly no Bbo only a banana sandwich today. Just came across it while looking for something else and thought it should be commented on again a grevious sin that has gone unpunished. By the way the latest Pino vintage is very good. It pays to stay in the favour of your sisters I have discovered.

I'm pleased to hear the local pinot is a success this year.

Sadly OD, I lack your contacts and am unable to guzzle it freely.

Now on another matter.

Even during my relatively short viewing of tv, I have been assailed by a flood of adds for a program called "married at first sight".

Unless I have been overcome by shiraz and passed out, I don't believe I have ever watched a so called "reality" show.

Do any of you fellow interlectuals watch this stuff? Could someone tell me who does?

Am I making a harsh judgement based on little evidence in saying this stuff is rubbish?

I just get the impression that it must be some sort of black hole that sucks out whatever brain cells remain. This whole concept of "reality" tv befuddles me.

Perhaps I am totally out of touch with the world - a strong possibility I'll admit.

Please enlighten me.

Just as well you had those two words in different sentences. Pinot is the nectar of the Gods and the other is the swill of Collingwood supporters.

O.D- You are welcome to invite me to taste the new range.

I have been a great connoisseur of the premium variety for many years and am glad to have found a kindred spirit in your good self.

Disregard Bitters and his pathetic attempts to ingratiate himself into OUR vineyard.

I have a marvellous Palate-one that has gone viral many times-I can say with some confidence.

Look forward to tasting a few cases.

Indeed Uncle Bitter.

Reading your many witticisms and weighty proclamations on here is akin to two George Clooneys making love by candle light in a villa by Lake Como between silk sheets, such is the carisma and eloquence bursting from every word.

Ignore these heathens who cast aspergers  on you.

To me, that image is one guaranteed to make every red-blooded Aussie spew ...

Precisely. The thread’s been completely derailed for the last 700 or so pages and it’s time to get back on topic.

I’m surprised, no shocked ? that nobody has picked up on this comment by Deeman on the AFLW thread about last week's game v GWS Giants:-

“I understand the concern about Mifsud’s absence for us but what I really want to know is why [censored] wasn’t playing for them!”

You know all too well, WJ, that there is only one way to derail this thread, and it is mentioned in the title (hint: it is not the part about bullsh!t, which appears to be far more honoured in the breech than the observance).

BTW I have no idea why Deeman would think Phat Phil would be playing for the Giants, unless there were doughnut-based incentives in the contract ...

I wouldn’t be relying on Mr Leg if I were you OD. He was last seen on a banana plantation in Pago Pago holding court with the locals and was apparently so impressed with the place that he’s considering migrating to Western Samoa and laying down his roots there.

That wouldn’t be Phat Phil, R & B. According to my NSW informants, he can’t fit into the change rooms at Giant HQ. Not only that, it’s rumoured that he’s involved in pre-production for the Ten Network’s forthcoming new lifestyle series, “My Three Tons”.

BBO, I recently gave you some sage advice regarding you flogging yourself.

I would exhort you to follow my advice and stay well away from what passes as entertainment for the mindless masses.

I liken it to being drawn to look at a car crash. As much as we known that it is wrong, it is titillating to watch the pain of the less fortunate. I think you would derive a perverse pleasure watching it. Please don't watch more than one episode, I fear it may deaden the brain.

As you are the new cultural expert-could you tell us what passes for sport these days?

I stand corrected; thanks WJ. "My Three Tons" would presumably rate better than "The Biggest Loser" Perhaps Deeman's information relates to AFLX? (whatever the hell that is).

Well Biffen, it would seem that for many senior politicians and execs their favourite sport is shacking up with much younger employees. Of course, they're all good looking roosters....

Who's going to be next? Nick Xen, Boris Johnson or maybe even our Gil?!
