Rainbow paper Ernest my God you are old. Not sure there are more than two of us who know what you are talking about.

Old and proud OD. 

But as they say your only as old as you feel, although my creaky bones, dust and shroud suggest otherwise. But the spirit is strong.

I think the original joke was, in Parliament a Cabinet Minister stood and said " I am a country member" and a voice from the opposition benches yelled out " yes we remember".

That voice was none other than Edward Gough Whitlam. 

The same man who, when asked by an annoying journalist about his position on abortion, replied, "In your case, I believe it should be retrospective."

Ernie is beyond old od he's dead. And good luck to him.

However, I also know what rainbow paper is. FMD, is there any benefit in this aging process?

I have yet to discover one Bbo. But as my wife constantly reminds me ageing is better than the alternative.

Moon, are you telling me that Bitter But Bent actually exists in a recognizable form ?

Just assumed that he was an insecure little man with big man complex seeking reassurance, a sense of identity and a purpose in an otherwise sad existence in rural Romsey .

You mean he is not a little guy in hat, glasses, gaberdine overcoat and a kit bag with cut lunch in rainbow paper ? 

I must admit Ernie, that I have found a gaberdine overcoat a useful accessory when out strolling in the park.

Well I suppose for a ghost it might seem that way Ernest.

You suppose I am a ghost, however remember that all the main religions believe in some form of afterlife whether it be spiritual, the separation of body from soul, or the on-going cycle of death and rebirth. Of course the details vary but the essential elements remain the same whether it be early Yiddish teachings, Vedic (Hinduism) philosophy, Christian theology or  Islamic teachings. That is the explanation of why I have returned in a form that allows me to watch footy and write on this site. 

Philistines, boors, oafs, ignoramuses, louts, yahoos, hoons, vulgarians, plebeians, atheists, sceptics, heathens, beasts, brutes, peasants fail to understand these deep issues.  

That excludes you OD but perhaps not some notable posters on this thread who are concerned with their vanity and matters of the flesh.  Short term pleasures but forever condemned to hell, a rabid dog scouring the gutters of Mumbai looking for scraps. 

Hineni, Hallelujah, Samsara OD.

I'm busted.

As a youthful peasant, with vulgar, loutish  tendencies, veering into oafish boorish and ignorant behaviour, my scepticism leading me to atheism, I gathered together with a bunch of heathen brutes to form the Plebians and wrest the Traralgon basketball title from the reigning elites.

One of my esteemed number was Bernie Quinlan.

 

Aah those were the days, short term pleasures indeed. I still recount that I played with two browlowmedalists having also played tennis with Kelvin Templeton.

Gough was known to refuse door stop interviews (apart from his last one ).

When a young lady tried to ask him a question on the street she got;

"Madam, I, try to avoid speaking to strange ladies on the street".

They just don't make arrogant ,pompous, conceited ,well educated, urbane socialists like they used to.

Is this a description of Collingwoood, Carlton and Esssendon supporters ?

Would you prefer the attention seeking, Christian lead, 2 x left footed ScoMo? Give me an atheist PM any day.

Having said that, we could do with a few more left footers in our team

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons. Date of Birth: 10 January 1992 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 19 Career Total: 235 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 24 Melbourne Football Club: 9th Best & Fairest: 316 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
