Hope it’s okay to post this here despite it being not about footy. But it’s also not about hwfua, so hopefully it’s all good. 🙂

This is how I first saw today’s HS back page, ie, upside down…

I was aghast. I thought, ‘Scott Boland smokes?! He smokes while training?! The HS has published a pic of him smoking?!’😆

world's first. ......woman in australia mistakes cricket bat for cigarette

And upside down too.  What a talent.

I intentionally posted the pic upside down, Jontee. That’s how I first saw it. Otherwise, you see it’s The Big Show’s bat. 😁

I call our illustrious captain my “winter Maxy” and Glen Maxwell my “summer Maxy.”

Which end did you start at? Because I imagine the grip would be the hardest part to smoke.

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.

It was probably because he got a close up look of him bending his Back whilst Chucking.

I think the whole thing was just another Djockovic type excuse.

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 apologies for the delayed reply skinny but i had some pressing matters at The Manor that required my attention.

The accusation re the fat gutted fellow has been levelled at me before. I wish to lay it to rest. It was not my good self. I must say that while I admired the fellows's healthy physique his taste in attire was appalling. I am offended that anyone would think that I would dress in such a bumpkinish manner.

Re the non de plume that I have stuck you with. We had this conversation some years ago and I know your name has nothing to do with Jenny Craig. However, as I am a rude and churlish fellow, I have chosen not to change my manner of address.

I must (for once) share a true story.

I was slumming it in Lancefield yesterday. And, while enjoying an al fresco coffee , I watched this old lady trudging along behind her walker toward me.

I gave her a friendly greeting and she commented on my Demons polo. She told me that Ron Barrassi was her hero and , she pointed to her cheek, and said she got a kiss from Ron when she was a youngster. She said she didn't wash that spot for weeks!

She was a lovely old dear. A bit dotty and I guessed well into her 80's . She was heading to the local clinic which was nearly 2 Klm's from where she lived !

What a tough old bugger! Soft [censored] today call for the paramedics when they sneeze.

Didn't know they served 'an al' fresco coffee in Lancefield. Enemas???

Lancefield people are true warriors. They look up to the highlands to their immediate west and walk and shuffle and say there but for the graces of the many gods who live here go I: at least it's flat. I know about Lancefield and Romsey people because I attended a Salesian College not far away. I am proud to say I remained a virgin until I was sixteen and it involved a member of the opposite sex in her father's flat in East Brunswick.

Re this thread: to (slightly mis-)quote the Good Doctor Seuss, "Oh, the places we go!"

Clearly endlessly, always reliably, and occasionally surprisingly, good fun. No need to name names; I'm sure its regular inhabitants will see this appreciation.

You… uhm… didn’t think to… you know…offer the old dear a lift to the clinic? But then again, no; god forbid you should rush your coffee down. 🥴😁🙃

I’m quite sure she would’ve declined anyway. No doubt (like all females from a very young age) she had been warned against getting into a car with a strange man.

England WISH they had their “Sheilas” opening for them. Their girls would likely score more than their men. Having said that, these two have put on 60 without loss, so we may be in for a competitive match for a change.
