I think my countdown days are over. I don't feel the love for my cryptic hints.

Hang on I think I can work this out. Molly fell off a ladder, Superman could not handle Cryptonite, Molly loves StKilda Superman loves Lois Lane - got it, 96

I believe, @Earl Hood holds the original sketches for these highly desirable object d'art.

 

 

 

Any body else thought it was  no coincidence, that mick Gatto  visited mundine before the fight in his dressing, and then he took a dive after a little jab.

The fix was on.

Its boxing.

I have watched plenty of fights over the years and been in a few in my younger days, but it was one of the lamest excuses for a boxing match that I have witnessed.

Simply disgraceful. 

And it was with gloves on!

[censored] Cats.

Try bare knuckle fighting.

I believe that Santiago in 'The Old Man And The Sea' was a bare knuckle boxer was he not?

I also think that the fact that a) there is a nearly 15 year age gap between the two and b) that Horn had just fought Terrence Crawford might have had a bit to do why the fight was as lopsided as it was.

being the "off" season and this thread being the pre-eminent source of all things banana, i thought the following fascinating factoid would be of interest to all you banana aficionados................

Chewing Banana Slug

Slimy Banana slugs need little introduction. Honored as the official mascot of the University of California, Santa Cruz, they can often be seen on huge roadside hoardings and printed on t-shirts. The second largest species of slug in the world, Banana slugs live on the damp forest floors of the Western United States.

Usually bright yellow in color, the Banana slug is a shell-less mollusk which can grow up to 15-25 cm (5.9-9.8 in) in length. Banana slugs eat many different foods such as plants, rotting fruits, animal waste, and surprisingly other banana slugs too! But the most bizarre fact concerns their strange mating habit, where one slug chews the penis off its partner after finishing sex. Chomp… Chomp! Interesting but disgusting.

Banana slugs are hermaphrodites, which means they have the reproductive organs associated with both the sexes. So, they can act as both male and female at the same time, and on rare occasions are even known to mate with themselves too. Their Latin name is dolichophallus, which means ‘giant penis’. It’s a fitting name too as they do all have enormous penises, almost as long as their entire body length.

If a Banana slug is to mate properly, it has to choose a partner of equal size. If it doesn’t and the calculation is not done properly before mating, the chances are that its penis will get stuck during copulation. Unable to pull out afterward, the only option left is to bite off the other slug’s member. This strange process of penis-chewing is termed apophallation.

Another very strange fact about Banana slugs is that they mate on a thick layer of slime, which they produce before the mating begins. They often eat each others’ slime, perhaps in the process of getting to know each other.

One might well wonder for hours about such a bizarre mating ritual. What if both slugs were to start chewing, for example? Obviously both would end up penis-less. Eeek!!

Congrats Daisy, you have made me feel sick. I never want to see another banana slug again.

The Bummers one is a bit too cryptic for me.  A bit like Red's countdown clues - too much for my simple brain.

And how does Sydney get to claim the coffee image??  I thought anything coffee-wise was copyrighted to those very earnest folks of inner Fitzroy.

There was more than a touch of Chet Faker in the Dogs one. Surely they could have worked a red beard in with that motif?

Oh and Kent wants out as well, not sure if that happened or not.

La Tour will not seem the same without the mellifluous sound of Paul Sherwen's commentary. 

RIP Paul, you brought pleasure to many cycling fans with your commentary at the Tour, The Classics and the TDU.

A class act in every way.

I went off cycling a few years ago when the were the biggest drug takers in sport Ernest.

I have not been able to take it seriously since.

Has some similarities to the Victorian justice system or perhaps that should be the Unjust system.
