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.

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.

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?

Its all about scaring off Geelong supporters, I think 

I was a bit disappointed. Those girls disappeared for 4 days. But they are back.  A nice distraction from life

True. Someone told me you just use them as a plug..

I'm watching Australia v WI 20/20. 

[censored] if I know why.

T 20 is [censored] cricket.

Chinese New Year last night. It’s now officially the Year of the D!

D for Dragon but also D for Demons.

Since 10pm-ish last night pretty much nonstop fire crackers are going off like crazy. Sounds like heavy machine-gun fire. Even my nexties are letting them off. My poor chooks are having ‘Nam flashbacks. I haven’t seen them at all today. 😭
