    Tayla Harris kicked a BANANA last night. 
    Just thought I’d mention it on account of this thread being (in part) dedicated to bananas. 
    I still don’t know why. 🤔

    Green bananas.

    Are they OK here? Can someone give me a potted banana (indoor plant?!) history? I'm still like @WalkingCivilWar too.

    Educated guess: there was a time when the price of bananas was such that one had to just about take out a second mortgage on one’s home in order to buy a decent bunch. 
    That’s all I can put it down to.

    Her banana goal was so smooth, it can be referred to as a banana smoothie.

    If Bayley Fritsch kicks a banana, smooth or otherwise, can it be referred to as a BANANA FRITTA?

    Tim you seem a touch confused. The unmentionable’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 doesn’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.

    …. rather the days of the $1.50* flagon of claret, around the era of our previous flag. 
     

    * erratum.  Back then of course it was 15 shillings.

    probably the irish man who saved a leprechaun from a rabbit trap. In gratitude the leprechaun offered him 2 wishes. "dat  be too easy" said the irish man "for me first wish, o'il have a a baileys and for me second wish o'il have anotha one". So said the leprechaun  "thad'll be a baileys and baileys den".

    i'll let meself out

    I have a few shillings, along with florins, pennies, half pennies, six pences, thruppences etc, in my collection of old Aussie coins.

    If only I had a 1930 Penny.

    Dan's bought out the best Liquor outlet in Adelaide, Bailly and Bailyy's, then used their House Brand and marketed it throughout Australia and , yes, it's Riverland material, the stuff once used in casks.

     

    By the way, I watched the second half of the 2015 Anzac Day Richmond game: was that you exposing your half naked torso during the last quarter? If it is/was, I'd go on a diet - eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we diet - and no, my name is not a version of someone who diets, nor is my name or torso skinny.

    My brother has a 1960 Penny. (His wife’s name is Penny and she was born in 1960.) And if I know my brother as well as I think I do, I’m sure he’d be more than happy to swap her for a couple of your florins or shillings. 🤣

    My sister-in-law is awesome. It’s my brother who’s the pain in the arze. For starters, he’s a hardcore Carlton supporter and has never forgiven me for not being a Navy Blue. But I’ll leave that for if/when a Dr Phil thread is created. 👍🏽

    For years the only time I hear from him is when he shoots me a snarky text after a Melbourne loss. Especially if it’s at the hands of Carlton.
    🤔 Funny thing, I haven’t heard from him in quite a while. 😁

    Can I ask

    is Nigel Farage the UK pollie, is he a secret contributor to this thread and if so what is his moniker?

    he is all over the Banana Republik thing.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
