I've quaffed a few on occasion skinny but they're not on my regular slurping list.

D you know the origin of the famous drop 'Bailleys and Bailleys'?

 

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?

And if Big Maxy kicks one…

Thus is opened, temporarily, a can of worms.

Bread and butter kick for Tommy...

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.

"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 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. 🤣

Yeah nah that ship’s sailed. 😆

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. 👍🏽

Personally I would have nothing to do with him.

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.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
