Do I close the thread down for lack of interest?

Surely you have something better to do with your time than worry about the best thread on Demonland.

Good luck with your grandson's lightning premiership day.

Apologies to the banana cake, but I sampled some vanilla slice cake last night, I forgot how nice it tastes. Haven't had any in years.

My local Café had warm banana cake with marmalade on the side......I immediately thought of you blokes.....Unfortunately I don't like bananas....

You never usually ask.

Better see if Stuie is OK with it.

He loves a good closure.

I just get the feeling Neil Craig knows something about the Coaching position at Melbourne, as he keeps repeating, if he is not what we are looking for, he won't get the job. He also keeps saying he was given the job for 11 weeks and that is his brief, nothing more.

No, but there are few others that may have postings, but not a lot of worthwhile content ... :-)

FWIW I planted some roses recently, and in a certain corner put a red one and a blue one (well, as blue as roses get - more like light purple )

One day I hope to be able to put a navy blue one next to the red one, or better yet, a hybrid one that produces red and blue flowers, starting in late September ...

Is that better, WJ? :-)

Maybe. I see it more as him not putting himself into a corner by saying that he wants the job, but then having nowhere to go if he doesn't get it. He won't say that he doesn't want the job, of course (even if that is the case), and if he does he would need the team to win more than lose over the next four weeks or so, which makes him a hostage to fortune. So he says the above as a typically polite way of saying "too early to tell".

FWIW Provided that one of Craig, Williams or Eade wants the job (and understandably none of them have.openly said so) I don't think we could go wrong with any of them.

Nothing on this thread in 24 hours is more informative than 30 postings on a lot of the other threads.

e.g. the prattle on the "Jobe Took The Drug" thread over the last week.

Some times silence is golden!

Worried about sensible content on this thread?

Well I'm just returned from the Myanmar frontier. By god it was tough going at the headwaters of the Irrawaddy. No decent red wine to be found, the Mandalay Golf Club was in poor order and the coolies couldn't wave the fans fast enough to keep me cool. The Kyber Pass would have been a better choice.

BTW. Did Biffen make it back? He came up here chasing cheap drugs to onsell at the Gatwick. Doubt he made it beyond the "pinga pongas" in Thailand.

Made it back with all goods secure.

The old Khyber is not the same though.

Changed rooms at the Gat -living the life.

Tentative list of those substances allowable for consumption by D'landers for approval by -T$B$ commission

are as :

Bananas ( all shapes and form )

Carrots , only when in the form of cake

Snot Blocks

and I also propose the humble Custard Tart ( on probation )

My friend Custard hates being called a "Tart"

Mr Leg you know you never see a vanilla slice in the healthfood shop. What is always there under the little glass dome - yes banana cake - health food of a nation.

That will be two "extra" laps around the tan for you!

Not sure I could make two laps in my current condition. But gee it was great vanilla slice.

Just had lunch with WJ's nephew at Surfers Paradise. He is one of the doctors for the Suns. He is just in awe of Gary Ablett. I said he is in a long queue.

If it is up for nominations, I nominate date scones (fresh, of course), and it sounds like Redleg would nominate vanilla slice. Come to think of it, what do OD and BB have against proud custard tarts?

Sorry -- brain fade -- yes, of course. And a big yes to blueberry muffins.

[Longsufferingnomore 1,631]

My nomination is choc éclair with fresh cream - none of that sugary pretend stuff.

Mr Leg if you are interested being up in the Sunshine State, we have a nice heavy 10 track at Sandown on Wednesday - perfect for wunderhorse Briefed.
