The wife and kid are away tonight and I haven’t had takeaway for months. I’m thinking of going a little stupid on Uber eats, any suggestions? 

Early nominations are a McDonalds family dinner box followed by Churros for two from San Churros. The Churros come with sliced banana which is a bonus. 

Can't lose with the banana.

It was sliced well. It cut through the 16 sticks of Churros quite nicely.

An old country preacher has a teenage son, and as it is gittin’ time for him to choose a profession, the old man decides to try an experiment. While he’s at school, he goes into his room and places on the bed, a bible, a $20 note, a bottle of whiskey, a copy of Penthouse.   “I'll just hide behind the door and see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me. If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum! And worst of all, if he picks up the magazine, he'll be a womaniser all his life!". The old man waits anxiously, and soon hears his son's footsteps as he enters the house and heads for his room. The boy throws his bag by the door, and as he turns to leave the room spots the objects on the be bed. First, he picks up the Bible and without reading a word places it under his arm. Then he picks up the $20 note and tucks it quickly into his his pocket, before uncorking the bottle to have a massive swig . . . even while settling down to ogle the magazine’s centerfold.
“Lord have mercy,” the old preacher disgustedly whispers, “He's gonna run for Parliament, and will probably end up leading the Nats!"

Clever Moon.  Wondering if this was a re-hashed lampoon.  An old Labor leader / PM comes to mind also ?

Oh you are a wild one Ethan!

I would've gone a rare beef phò from the local, or perhaps a little hipster veg curry, extra pappadams 

BBO might have ordered wild game caught withing the expansive grounds of the manor

Biffen would invade the local KFC going from table to table looking for fly blown leftovers

The Earl would Uber fish and chips from Donovans in Sydney, even though he's in Upper Fitzroy

W Jack and Red would pick up take away from Wongs, because this new fangled thing called Uber eats is beyond them

Daisy would eat leftover pureed meat and 3 veg from the Borewood nursing home

Nice work Moonie, but you left out Old Dee and Beelzebub fighting over the last banana fritter ... And jazza, bless his memory, would have an inch-thick steak with produce grown on his own farm.

Eyes on the ball please.

Biffen's entourge was just knocking down the value of the place so he could buy it on the cheap, I'm sure.  Future business hub, Biffen?

 

Say, anybody heard from Uncle Bitter recently? Or has he gone into hiding after his recent adventures in SE Asia?

Well I must say it's delightful to hear from the canuck correspondent.

Both you and dc made quite reasonable suppositions about the said property, however, the truth of the matter is that Biffen was rejected as a potential occupant on the basis of his poor character and record of appalling behaviour in that area.

And yes Mabel ...... I did survive Asia .... just .... but have barely survived recent encounters with Biffen.

My financial health is particularly damaged.

Planning the big effort for the Lions game at the Gabba.

Travel on the day will be car to Tullamarine,  plane to GC, car to Surfers, then walk, tram, train, bus, bus, train, tram, walk. 

A nice variety of travel indeed. Hopefully it ends up in a Dees win.

PS. Almost forgot, hopefully a banana snack on the train.

I am a lawyer. Can I help? My fees are nowhere like Robert Richter's, the great defender of the Catholic faith. just ask uncle George. The Vatican would be just about totally impecunious when he sends his Pell bill. Then again, Jesus saves, the Vatican is simply loaded due to his divine in financial interventions, a bottomless pit. Sorry I used the word bottom  in relation to matters Sub Judice, as it were,

Smoking bananas is so De Rigeur. Anyway, smoking is banned on public transport these days. They have CCTV cameras in every nook and cranny flat.

Nice to have you back Maple. Have you been away visiting your homeland Canadia?

Medicinal intervention can help. Do you, by chance, have a sympathetic GP? Please don't shoot any more elephants and saw their horns. It is not kosher any more. Same with hippos. Settle down, Bitter, take a hobby, learn golf, learn Hungarian, learn how to cook your grandmother's favourite recipes. Meditate. Mindfulness. Eat less donuts. Read Dostoevsky. Get cultured. Ignore the Romsey riff raff. What more can I tell you.

No I’m not . You should have seen the sights at Casey yesterday. They could have come from Romsey I suppose. But they were frightening....
