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".

    We used to say this about Doug Anthony if anyone remembers.

    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.

    That’s a matter of opinion.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
