Bring a plate:

Some CWA help including lamington recipie, for blokes to cook up a storm!  (empty plate provided separately)

 

Bring a decent shiraz

A little gem from any vintage.  A Romsey neighbour no less.  Presumably it features in The Manor's well stocked cellar ensuring an ample supply to accompany the culinary storms the blokes cook up!

 

Meanwhile, sheilas can sit back😀, relax 😀and

Good heavens Luci !!!

I must say I never picked you as some sort of insurrectionist !

Your quite appalling suggestion that blokes do the cooking while sheilas sit back and tipple vino gave me quite an attack of the vapours.

It's contrary to natural order of things ..... I have to stop writing ...... the mere thought of it ....!!!!

Such indignation!!

Btw, the best chefs in the world are blokes, who cook in k-i-t-c-h-e-n-s!

Haha, there was no stipulation of what culinary storm blokes could cook up:  BBQ?  Spit Roasts?  Whole fish on an open fire?   In my neck of the woods these are a man’s domain!!!   Shock😲 and horror - sometimes they even venture to cook on an outdoor k-i-t-c-h-e-n!

And what else can ladies do but relax and sip a vino while the blokes cook, with beer (or decent shiraz) in hand.  Come on Bbo, Fair’s Fair!🙃

Anyway, you could try cooking a barbie just to test that ‘natural order of things’☺️.  Skills learnt can easily transfer to a real k-i-t-c-h-e-n!  On second thoughts the latter might be a bridge too far for someone who lives in The Manor!

As for the vapours, I'm told this was a popular remedy in the ‘good old days’😉:

My recent tour through the outback led me to reminisce on the good old days in our fine country.

In particular, seeing a few old church halls and " Mechanic's Institutes " where many a dance, engagement party or other community event took place  made me remember that famous ( and very important ) decree , "Ladies bring a plate "

There was a very clear social order in the good old days. Blokes drank beer and sheilas made lamingtons. Nowadays things are very confused. Even a simple a simple request like asking a sheila to hop it to the fridge and get get you another coldie is considered offensive in some circles.

Which, as an aside, makes me wonder what  the sheilas who post on this thread would provide if asked to "bring a plate".

 For the purposes of personal safety, however, I'd put that request in writing rather than  face to face)

I gather from @WalkingCivilWar 's posts, that she can barely boil water - so no chance of a decent feed there. @Lucifers Hero often mentions wine, so she might bring a decent shiraz.

Arrrh ..... the good old days !!!!

Nah, that one made a fortune, spouting [censored] about climate change, something like most evangelicals in the climate change field, he knows very little about.

But I have had the operation.

PS: Mrs Hardwick heard I was on the coast and just rang to ask me to give Dimma a message if I saw him. She said it was GAGF. What does that mean? Is it a message of love?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
