BBO has never met a bottle of plonk he didn't like.

Let's just say -when the Romsey cellar is drained ,The Manor becomes a resort town.

i.e- he'll resort to anything.

 

I must say I had a hearty laugh when reading this morning's Herald Sin.

It seems there is a move afoot to have Warnie Knighted!

FMD! Sir Shane of House Bogan!

I reckon our own @Earl Hood who has been smoozing after a gong for years, would leap of the uppermost balcony of his Fitzroy Hipster Palace if it happened.

It's not only for services to cricket, but also his immense charity/poker work and donations to strippers. The Earl doesn't get one just for being a soft git.

Oh contrare my good Uncle, may Sir Shane get his knighthood for his trifling 700 plus test wickets, so be it to keep the masses amused. Please keep this information to yourself at all costs. I have been informed by a reliable source within the Palace that I will be recognised at some stage in the new year! The Royal whisper is that there are vacancies in the Royal Order of the Garter no less, members selected exclusively by Her Majesty, not the Parliamentary rabble ! Think about that for a moment, perhaps there will be a touch more respect in your tone from now on!

Naturally I wish you well in your lofty aspirations Earl.

However …… you must know.. there are  "rumours" going around on the social circuit wherein the  good name of your house is associated with certain …… err indelicacies.  Oddly, according to reliable sources,  "garters" seem to have played something of an and up and down role in proceedings.

I, off course, am not one to deal in such slanders but social media being what it is these days ….. who knows how high such tales reach?

Is that what the suppression orders in the media are about? The Age and The Hun have been making a big song and dance about it lately. Earl, your chances of entering St Peter's pearly gates are now zero.

I have just received a call from Government House, advising of my forthcoming knighthood and henceforth I will be known as Sir Redleg of Demonland.

Apparently her Majesty is a major fan of this thread and reads it to the corgis each night.

As modest as I can be, I must say it is long overdue.

PS. Earl already has his honour and that is as far as he is going, an Earl.

All I can say Mr Moons is that both you and Uncle are skirting with contempt by breach of a court order! And for the record if Mr Redleg is correct and a certain person does visit this site, it is all just false MeToo scuttlebutt from the 70’s no less! Who can remember what they did in the 70’s?

I can, I was trying to remember what I did in the 60’s.

Oh, don't be such a choirboy, Earl!

given mr hood already has half a knighthood, his easiest course of action would be to change his given name from earl to knight by deed poll..... problem solved...... knight hood


Having read the last page of this august thread I can only assume that a number of people have been into the Christmas cheer a little early. I only hope after an early start you all have the stamina to go the distance.

Stayed at a winery last night, I guess it shows.

Does anyone know how many Demonlanders we have?

Good question Neil. It used to show up at the bottom of , I think, the home page but it seems to have disappeared.

The answer to the meaning of life can be found on this thread ( if you know who to ask) so I'm sure your query (love that word) will be answered in the fullness of time.

Can't believe how quickly this year has gone. It seems like you have a banana smoothie on New Year's day and now it is nearly New Year's Eve.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
