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.

    I thought I would have got one for starting this thread.

    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?

    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.

    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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
