There is absolutely nothing better than a glass of frangellico , a strong short black coffee and some vanilla ice cream.

    A good single malt scotch is without doubt better than any cheap, coconut sugar drink, even better than the young grape juice that some here quaff down

    Certainly keen on a dram of whisky or a gin and tonic!  Recently have been drinking apple cider when the companionship are not keen on spirits

    Every Friday night currently starts with sparkling wine, given it is served to me free and is less disgusting then the cheap wines on offer

    As some will know, I try to stay away from this thread but again find myself inextricably drawn back into it's web. The first confronting thing I read is mention of BBO followed by the highlighted question/statement. Dare I keep reading I ask myself. I don't know how to unassociate the two but I curse my vivid imagination.

    Stuart Broad would have to be the uncoolest cricketer ever.

    Stokes and Bairstow have both definitely head-butted someone in a pub at least once.

    Jimmy Anderson will be 41 next month. He’s been playing Test match cricket for 20 years. How on earth does his back hold up?

     When will Travis Head 86 that awful moustache?

     I wish we had this level of commentary in footy. Kumar and Tubby are chef’s kiss.

    Never mind me, just thinking aloud. 🙃

    I’d forgotten all about this. And now he’s their captain. All good, it was years ago, he’s changed his ways, blah blah blah, whatever.

    Meanwhile Tim Paine is stripped of his captaincy and made to feel like the scum of the earth because he sent d*** pics to a consenting adult six years ago. Moreover, that’s the captaincy he was unexpectedly thrown into when our then captain, vice-captain and coach decided to cheat on the world stage. Cool. 🙄

    Well no sleep from the cricket but all good.

    Tonight it's the lads over for Origin.

    As a New South Welshman for 12 years,  I have finally come to enjoy league.  Although only the origin games. They're kind of like grand finals up here .

    And then the big one tmrw.

    Life's not too bad.

    In this modern world of enlightenment and high regard for minorities, I am coming out and admitting, "I like Midori and really like Kahlua".

    As for wine, I dislike reds and don't really like whites.

    Shiraz-yuk.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
