    I saw Meggs’ thread titled “Buzzing” and thought the missing thread had just been re-named. 😁

    What happened to the Cultural Issues at the Dees thread? I’ve just finished a quality sesh at a microbrewery in East Brunswick to find it has disappeared?

    Well done..lol..  yeah.   The 'cue' wasnt that obvious...unless you knew what to look for....and when you did it was easy peasy.

    Someone mentioned using deposits off the coke bottles....yeah...whole other story there lol...  Looking back I was quite the ratbag delinquent. 

    Twas I. A voracious collector of empty coke bottles, Leeds , Fanta and a few others. Lived in St Kilda East amongst a lot of flats . High density area and great pickings. Made more with bottles than my morning paper round. I hated that round especially on Saturday with the bloody Age. 5 bucks a week and usually had to pay for damaged flower pots. Doh. And it was so cold and dark at 5.30 am. The alarm sent shivers down my spine. As mentioned I got lazy returning the bottles and stacked them around the side of our Westbury grove house. When they went from 10 cents to 20 it was like winning Powerball. Apologies to the owner of the Newsagency for not turning my colleagues in for all the smokes they pinched.

    Or perhaps the Great Pacific Gyre (or it's cloud based equivalent) where all the world's rubbish (threads) end up waiting to be collected and repurposed into a less toxic narrative.

    Tough times ahead and wish you all the best.

    Speaking of Mick Jagger, anyone who says Paul MacCartney can still sing is only looking not listening.

    His Adelaide shows are on you tube and he has lost his great voice, which is natural in your 80’s.  

    Think he should have called it a day. He doesn’t need the money and better to remember stars at their best.

    So they were the ones behind the mystery thread culling.

    Just another example of driving two once thriving threads into the ground in their relentless pursuit of productivity & profits.

    Bloody corporates!

    Nice words re Monbon. Ditto.

    As for singers, I saw a combined Simple minds, Devo and the church concert ten years ago.

    Jim Kerr really struggled with volume and hitting the same notes. Devo were still very good. A much underated band.

    Obviously Devo can still whip it together.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
