Dunno.

This thread is like 'barley', or parliament with its privilege, isn't it, layze; you can safely say stuff that would elsewhere be roundly slinged and arrowed! 😄

That's because this thread has knowledge and experience. The great unwashed don't come on here.

No wonder you are one of the wisest and leading posters on this thread.

The faint hearted don't belong here.

Our old english teacher stopped us using Americanisms by telling us that they turned one gay.  One went into the cupboard but came out of the closet.

Met a bunch of Dees fans last night and they were as feral about the Coach, as Uncle Bitters is when he gets down to the last few swigs from the wine cask.

Basically want him gone and blame him for all our ills.

I have a headache atm and they have got me wondering if it is Goody's fault.

Love the fact we are now playing the younger guys and improving our depth.

Don't know how we can win friday, but if we somehow could, it would turn our season completely around.

Naming storms and the like after people always seems a little odd to me.

Do we do it for earthquakes or wars?

Even stranger is people who discover diseases and then name it after themselves. What a nice way to be remembered.

Munchausen at the symposium;

Munchausen: "This condition is one where the sufferer compulsively invents medical conditions in order to gain attention."

The Symposium Attendees: "Yes, we see that."

I understand Dr. Alzheimer forgot what his award was for.

I understand Dr Flatulence was a lonely man.

Known to his colleagues as Thunderpants.

Sometimes posts are triggering - this was one - that prompt me to consult Dr Google. Had anyone died of the disease named for them?!

It was an unfruitful consultation. However, it did throw up lots of fascinating articles in the general subject of disease naming. This BBC article seems typical:

There must be a gap in the market for the syndrome - possibly fatal but yet to be proven so? - whose major symptom is participating in and enjoying this thread.

A number of names suggest themselves (you know who you are...)

I don't think the appreciators ( is that a word?) of banana delicacies in this thread, had noticed a certain lady had thrown a BANANA milkshake at Nigel Farage last week.

Only Fans model reveals she spent 8 HOURS in a police cell after throwing McDonald's banana milkshake over Nigel Farage | The Sun

Is this sacrilege @Redleg?  

Or is it because McDonalds can't do a banana milkshake properly? 

It also appears from her social media photos she may be a Demon supporter?

 

Throwing a banana milkshake at someone instead of drinking it, deserves 8 hours, if not more,  in a police cell. 

Now as an Only Fans model, had she tipped the banana milkshake over herself, while in a state of undress, that would be an entirely different story.

Indeed, WSW (you're not related to that other double-W, are you?😲); that's as I always thought.

However! Look what my consult with the good Doctor threw up:

Is that any way for a vassal to talk? Especially after they just gave us back the political prisoner.

I just got a whisper of a thrill thinking about a giant infodump on the preposterous AUKUS negotiations. I can only hope there was, at some early point in submarine negotiations, a recorded conversation between Morrison, Johnson and Trump.

Johnson: {burp} "What's long and hard and full of seamen?"

Trump: "Hur hur hur, I'll tell that one to my daughter."

Morrison: "I don't get it. I'd better ask my wife."

Hell will freeze over before we spend around $400 billion dollars on a few subs from our Overlords.

Have we reappointed Mark Needle as head coach? As we can't win a finals game anymore or beat a Western Australia AFL club. Something weird is going on and I feel Uncle Bitter has something to do with it! 😭😞
