I always thought it was called a croquet lawn.

That's what my French friends, Madame and Monsieur Croque, insisted anyway. But they were hardly the athletic type.

What’s your stance re DL’s sleeping with a player’s dog?

No problems and even encouraged.

They are really hams and very cheesy.

We have several lawyers on DL.

Stepping back in for my strictly rationed dose of No T$ No B$, Mr Leg, I first need to ask, has anyone ever suggested the second 'No' might be misleading advertising?

Then, re your post: As if the profession doesn't have enough to deal with, reputation-wise!

And look out everyone; I've got spare time on my hands...

There are actually a lot more, dare I say it in these crazy times, members of the “female “ persuasion than you think on DL.

Like in real life, they use an assortment of various gender identification avatars and names.

I still grapple with whether Walking Civil War is a male or female or whatever moniker.

Dare I say it, in these 'crazy times' as you call them, Mr Leg: regarding gender identification, this - in the sense of the act of persuading - has taken on a whole new connotation for those wrestling with theirs...

If you look on his/her/their Demonland bio you’ll see that he/she/they identify as female. But one never knows, does one?

Keep 'em guessing, good sir/madam/person 😄

Has to be female. Only a sheila could yap and complain that much.

I call impostor! Uncle doesn't stoop to such commonnesses as 'sheila' and 'yap'!! He's been kidnapped!!!

Presumably the ransom message will come via this thread. Mods, is the Constabulary tapped in?

I know right! And it’s a good thing I’m so tough coz it seems she wasn’t joking after all. She confirmed it this morning. But as you can see I’m not fazed at all…

So the exorcism is scheduled in for under the tree at Missus Fritta's?

Don't think a dead person can play Uncle Bitter.

Think of all the weight he would have lost anyway...

Uncle Bitter uses the croquet mallets to keep the staff in line.

I think we need to get this thread back on to the footy, so let me pose the following question.

Which is greener, real grass or Astro turf?

At the risk of steering this thread back to the original question; Astro turf also comes in blue, which grass does not (unless painted) but that's a whole different question.

Has anyone noticed the ridiculous headlines that sub editors are placing on innocuous events.

Example: De Minaurs’ brutal girlfriend moment. 
Picture and story: she hugged him after his loss last night.

Its happening frequently and headlines have no relevance to actual events.

It's more than headlines Red!

Articles can be misleading, biased, unnecessarily emotive etc. etc.

The Hun was once a decent paper and The Rage was pretty good. Now The Hun make a good chip wrap or mulch while The Rage is only marginally better.

Every AFL player that makes the paper is " Star AFL player"even if they played  10 games 10 years ago.
