It seems no-one noticed the passing of NTSNBS's 10th birthday on 8 July. Belated congratulations to you then, Thread, to your single parent @Redleg, and to all who have sailed in you (me being only a very green rating).

Granted, as @old dee'sย orphan post on the day glumly reflected, it was the week after the season-ending (๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚) Giant's loss, so there might have been other things on the Good Ship NTSNBS's collective mind...

Tim you seem a touch confused. The unmentionableโ€™s name is not the name of the thread, but only part of it, abbreviated by first letters only. So his name is not No T$ No BS but rather part of the thread title only. Hope that clears it up for you.

Secondly why are you talking about him, as he doesnโ€™t exist on here.

Third, keep enjoying the thread and post on all matters non T$ or non BS, as is the mantra of the thousands of fellow contributors.

Fourth, be nice to uncle Bitters, as he might invite you around to the manor for a tipple, from his latest wine cask, purchased from the local $2 shop, on one of their half price special sale days. You can get a lovely drop for a dollar these days.

Gosh, Redleg, I thought I'd at least have to reach junior officer level for such an invitation!

No confusion at all - though I realise my naming of the Valiant Vessel should have been NT$NBS. My reference, and congratulations, to 'Thread' was to (The) NT$NBS - i.e.ย No T$ย No BSย - thread, definitely not, in any way to the individual WSNBN. But, a 'mea culpa' if (as the mealy-mouthed contrite like to say these days) 'anyone has been offended'.

Onwards across the seven seas!

Red, I am deeply wounded.

After all my years of valuable and profound intellectual contributions to this thread you still misrepresent my tastes in vino.

I hereby declare and ย caste aside all doubts, Chateau Cardboard has no place in The Manor's fine collection of plonk.

( excepting of course, those occasions when The Manor's budget is a tad strained)

Ahoy there Tim! Iโ€™m most definitely a stowaway on the good ship HMAS NT$NBS. Iโ€™m actually lucky I wasnโ€™t keelhauled for mentioning the unmentionable. I was, however, thrown in the brig for 24 hours. I have learned the error of my ways and am suitably repentant. Captain Redleg need not ever worry about a mutiny or anything of the sort.ย

well maybe just a little one, of sorts, now and again. just to keep us reinvigorated

and according to moonie, uncle's taste in wine leaves a lot to be desired, as does his taste in mutton

Now I find out that HWSNBN, thinks he is a cricket umpire as well and once called our beloved Captain Maxie for chucking.

How dare he suggest that Maxie would bend the arm when bowling.

sorry to hear that. a number of friends had the same experience but the good news is that it only lasted about 24 hours, so here's hoping the same for you

Hello!

Don't think I've ever posted here. Just want to congratulate Redleg on their 10+ year thread after reading the OG post.

(c.c. @daisycutter)

I was done yesterday. Is insomnia a symptom? It's after midnight and I've been able to stay awake watching R23 from 7 minutes to go in the 3rd.

Looking forward to symptoms extending into tomorrow night...

Interesting use of the word โ€˜casteโ€™ there, Bitter. So do you mean cast aside, as in put aside? Or is there a deeper meaning just lacking a couple of commas. Ie, โ€˜I hereby declare and, caste aside, etc?โ€™ย ๐Ÿ˜œ

It was clearly a spelling errorย 

He meant cask,

having said this , since the wonderful Chinese government banned red wine from Oz, the cheap red is much better.

not so good for the winemakers, swings and roundabouts, Covid and Demons premiers. ย 
we live in interesting times.

I doubt that is a symptom DC. More likely the result of the 57 years wandering in the wilderness.

With the covid thread slammed shut I am left to discuss the problem on here. Will we be able to attend games again the season. With the case numbers mounting will we get some sort of normal season? 2 weeks ago I thought yes now I am far from sure.ย

Good pick up Fanatique. I am at a loss to explain that gaffe. Perhaps I need a shrink of the Sigmundian school to undertake some delving into that slip.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Caseyโ€™s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckmanโ€™s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demonsโ€™ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
