It seems that, once again, truth wins the day. There actually is a UBO dc.

UNIVERSITÉ DE BRETAGNE OCCIDENTALE 

Based in the Breton port city of Brest, UBO in June 2023 declared an ambition to be known as the "Oceanic university of France". While this aspiration led to some concern that other disciplines might be downgraded, it suits the university’s location and existing profile. 

Founded in 1971, UBO has a roll of around 22,000 students, about two-thirds of them undergraduates, both in Brest and at its base in Quimper. 

The 14,500 undergraduates divide between the faculties of letters and human science, sports and exercise science, science and technology, medicine and health, dentistry and law, economics and management.

The student association motto is 'Brest is best'.

Also, what is going on with the departments there?

sports and exercise science - okay

science and technology - yep

medicine and health - mm-hmm

dentistry and law - WHAT?

Perhaps bitters, perhaps. I went to this job once where the bloke had been dead in a spa-bath for three weeks. The jets in the bath were still going when we walked in. The boss wasn’t too happy when I titled the job “human soup” within the report. I haven’t been able to eat a lamb shank since. 

Ugh. Even regular spas accumulate a layer of white fat residue on the sides just like stewpots do if you don't clean them out right away. Knew a guy who had to drain out and scrape the sides of the AIS heated spas once a fortnight. You wouldn't think all those athletes would leave behind so much fat.

I... respect the necessity of very dark humour. #ganzersyndrome

Happy Australia day folks.

 

With so many woke wankers telling me what I should or should or should not celebrate, I went and purchased an Aussie flag to adorn The Manor’s dog ute.

First time I’ve done that. 

( The flag was made in China and purchased from a Lebanese operated thrift shop.  That’s multiculturalism at its best! )

They're celebrating by having a national day of telling Muslims they don't belong.

I wish I was kidding.

Better not. The area is famous for its natural salt production and impenetrable hedges.

The old jewel in the Crown eh..

Do they still bring tiffen out for those that like to safari?

Might organise a hunt .

Looking for Rickshaw and Pallanquin operators as we speak.

Bitters prefers the pallanquin.

I think the bumpy roads play havoc with his gout.

Me-I rough it in the rickshaw and hunt straight from the seat.

If theres a duck at 12 O'clock and I yell DUCK It can really slow down proceedings.

Why does the cricket team have two all rounders?

It's not even like one of them gets to bowl much .

Carey is a good wkeeper but he's no batsman.

We are effectively two batsmen short.

If we lose, it’s because Head and Labuschagne were abysmal this match.

Interesting also that we declared behind the WI score and we are within that deficit now.

Un-Australian.

I'm glad we lost.

Hopefully they'll learn to shut up and just play cricket.

Bad games.

But lost at selecting two all rounders.

We don't need six bowlers given the quality of four of them.

It's just silly choosing Greene and Marsh.

One maybe.

Also there must be other options other than Carey who averages around 23.

But credit to a great effort from a young Wi team.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
