THE NEW SOCIAL ORDER 😀

 

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: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
