Having a terrible time finding a reliable supplier of leaded petrol, too!

I get mine flown in from Cambodia.

We could combine freight costs.

I import a lot of Sassafras oil from the old Khmer govt.

75th India Republic Day as well!

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.

I better not post here in case grapeviney sees it and takes another point off me and bans me for life

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.

6 for 60 while playing with a broken toe… 🤯

why did smith take the single with 8 runs required and expose hazelwood to joseph

incredibly dumb at that stage

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.

Karma met with Maynard today. It was only a preliminary meeting prior to the KB weekend where major karma will be inflicted.

No details yet about the other vehicle. Could it have been the karma bus?

Just having a laugh - obviously karma isn't a thing. We're going to have to sort him out ourselves.

Green is a no.6 ... of course he bats at no.4 for WA but Doug Walters used to bat at no.4 for NSW

To me Green had to bide his time and a specialist opener (Bancroft or Renshaw) to bat at the top of the order

Smith stays at no.4

How is an ageing Smith going to go against a top class fast bowling attack led by Bumrah next summer? (India)

It looks like the selectors have mapped out the next 12 months but they won't want to lose against the Kiwi's or India

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! )

You really shouldn't have.

I get my fair share. I was wondering why but now I'm assuming we all get them.

Daisycutters probably correct.

It's Bbos fault.

I have a theory that bananas crop up in this thread every time the topic starts to become a problem for mods. It is the safety ramp on a mountain, giving the truck with failed brakes somewhere to go instead of off a cliff.

Thanks for the show of support dc - I'm touched!!!  ( Borewood [censored])

This whole social media/YouTube/internet thing is becoming more and more scary and difficult to understand.

I was talking to a lady earlier today who avowed that 'stastistics' proved  that smokers were less likely to get covid than non smokers.

I expressed some doubt about that finding but she assured me it was ridgy didge as her partner ( 'who is good at these things') got it off the internet.

I know this bloke, and he's why the word  knucklehead was invented. 

I contend that the most important skill we can give our kids is a critical mind. What is [censored] and what is (possibly) believable.

I am, however, [censored] if I know how to teach it.

In this scenario, if mods are the goalie you are the defender who gets back to limit the angles ;)

Or maybe the old banana-and-stick routine. A favourite of @Bitter but optimistic I believe?
