Get a mike and keep singing Tie A Yellow Ribbon and Roberta Flack’s The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, that should stop them.

That wouldn’t suffice. They brought out the big guns last night at about 11pm. They *each had a go at that god-awful Celine Dion Titanic song. If I didn’t already hate that song with a passion, I do now.

*there’s six of them 😳

    Haha. WCW, I think you are very much underestimating just how annoying you can be. Give it a shot.

    (happy new year)

    I have a developing conundrum ! Now I realise that the many sleaze bags who post here will make merry with that statement ( Go ahead because it will probably be true)

    However, that is not my issue. We all know who the epynonomous TS is ..... but we daren't mention him.

    But let's be honest he is .... well history. Even jokes about the infamous pie eater would now fall flat. 

    So @Redleg , I am suggesting that, in recognition of the changing times, a name change for this thread is now in order.

    In keeping with theme of unmentionables ( with which I am quite familiar) I suggest The No CO No B$ Thread.

    I can’t speak for the other sleaze-bags who post here, but I disagree wholeheartedly! On what planet are C.O. and T.$. interchangeable??? Methinks dementia is winning the battle, BBO. 😭

    First I don’t understand what the CO stands for, have I missed something?

    While I don’t see the need for a name change, I wouldn’t totally be against it. Perhaps the “DL no B$ Thread” would be acceptable.

    Anyway it does seem to have been a major success and why change a winning formula?

    It is the longest, most read, most posted, most pages thread in DL history, so no real need to change it.

    Ooh ouch they are playing rough.

    That my heart will go on song is very nasty.

    I'd try something like this to warm them up until we can all agree on what will really send them over the edge.

    The worst Karaoke is in Vietnam. Everyone's got one and they turn them up to 11.

    Competing Romantic wailing ballads that sound like cats fighting or Chickens in severe pain.

    Celine is atrocious I agree but surely she can't go on?

    My neighbours are Vietnamese, and they sing this hideous song in their language. Not gonna lie… it’s actually slightly less painful in Vietnamese. Until about the fourth time and then it’s back to ear-bleeds.

    What are the best rock songs with some Saxophone in them?

    I've got dibs on Baker Street.

    Probably the kids don't even know this beautiful classic.

    Not rock but ska deever. How about Night Boat To Cairo from the first Madness album One Step Beyond, released in 1979? Lee Thompson is their irrepressible saxophonist.

    Madness were something different in their day. A quirky band with a fresh sound and fun lyrics.

    Still going strong too deevs. Madstock in Finsbury Park was probably their high point. When the 100,000 crowd started jumping up and down it caused a 4.1 earthquake that set off seismic monitoring equipment at the Greenwich Observatory on the other side of the Thames.

    This. One does not play around with sacred scrjpture or holy origin stories. The T$ referred to is still a [censored], and the "No BS" part is the classic "more honoured in the breach than in observance" irony. Nothing to see here -- move on!

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • 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.
