Just sweeter.

Random ponderance: at the men’s B&F the players were dressed by our newest sponsor, Country Road, and all wore the exact same suit. Don’t get me wrong they all looked dapper and apparently all got to keep their $750 suit. But…

In a couple of weeks it’ll be our W B&F. Should we expect to see every player in the exact same dress? Of course not. That’d be silly, right? Why then couldn’t Country Road have put the guys in different suits?

PS please humour me. I’m supposed to be packing up my goddamn house for shifting on the goddamn weekend and right now I’m at the crossroads: either get on DL, or kill someone. Anyone.  

Way better than the god awful blazers of a decade ago!

Reading this mornings paper, clearly Hawthorn need more time to chill out and eat more Bananas.

But then they employed him with no name,  I still thank Don Scott !

This is apropos of nothing really but I just had to share it.

I was speaking (well listening) to a female acquaintance yesterday and she saw fit to inform me of of the cause of our rather odd weather conditions.

Apparently there was an earthquake last year ( location unspecified) which " knocked the Earth off its axles"  and thus our our current extreme weather.

Simples!

I wouldn't be surprised to find out Earth has been up on stumps on some derro alien's galactic front lawn for the last twenty years.

I mean breathing, period. As long as there’s a pulse, however faint it may be. 
This is Uncle Bitter we’re talking about; his bar is set so low he risks tripping over it.

I’m sure Uncle, that you were able to inform your learned friend that climate change has resulted in the melting of the polar ice caps, and it is this that has led to a small shift in the polar axis resulting in the extreme weather events occurring all over the world.

Asking for the entire population of Demonland.

Me thinks you are carrying a secret torch for Uncle and you are just trying to put us all off the scent.
