Revenge is sweet

LOL

Indeed it will be

 

And it's a very good morning from Liverpool, England and I have some sensational news for followers of this thread.

We now have our own poet laureate in the form of one of the great female voices in contemporary Japanese literature, Tokyo's own (and now our own as well) Banana Yoshimoto . The author of a dozen novels including Kitchen and her latest, The Lake was featured in the British Airways in flight magazine which I read on the way from London Heathrow to Manchester last night.

The sun's about to rise in Liverpool, the place we're staying at is right on the Mersey River overlooking the port. Can't think of a better spot to discuss Japanese literature and the fascinating developments of Melbourne's trade week over breakfast with Redleg.

Appears you had upset someone the other day as he posted in the respect thread

Then he went on and reported Demonland for abuse

He was a very Strange Guy

Don't worry about him. He once aspired to be a great method actor and even got a role as a river person on a movie called "Deliverance". Last role he ever got but still lives it every day.

Meanwhile in Liverpool, I've made another startling discovery.

Nobody here has a Beatles haircut.

The MFC have offered Byrnes a two year extension.

Thought you would agree Redleg.


Bloody Eishold !!! lol

Old memories eh, Beebubsy? Thrashing the Hawks in about four consecutive grand finals might erade the pain ... :-)

Well gentlemen we have arrived at the end of the first week of trading

and I have an of offer to consider.

I have always said I want to be a one club guy and would love to be at the Dees in 2014.

Unfortunately the Hawks and Tigers have rejected me, they mumbled something about not needing 50 year losers.

North have reduced the size of the Dowry they require today.

So I have a serious decision to make in the next few days (Saints put in a late offer but I immediately rejected that crap).

Yesterday Redleg hosted a visit to the Beatles Museum and Magical Mystery Bus Tour of Liverpool to locations of note in the history of the Fab Four. The bus guide was a bloke called Jay Johnson, brother of Holly Johnson of the controversial 1980s Liverpudlian group Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

I must confess that while I was swept up by the Beatlemania phenomenon in the 1960s, the main focus of my musical tastes remained elsewhere (see avatar) but I still got a lot from the tour. Also, having studied the economic history of the region, I expected all northern England towns to be highly industrialised and ugly. Not so Liverpool. We visited some of the older areas of the city, but on the whole, I found it quite beautiful with lots of green areas (but no banana plantations in this neck of the world), interesting historic and modern buildings and friendly people.

Sadly, very few people with who to discuss Melbourne's recruiting developments (Redleg's otherwise heavily distracted at the moment by the forthcoming nuptials) although one of the guests is a Collingwood supporter who's working in London with the groom. This year's events and the loss of Daisy and Heater seem to have knocked the stuffing out of such supporters. The old arrogance is disappearing.

It appears that Melbourne's recruiting output in our absence has stalled. This needs to be fixed up to help with our breakfast conversations at the hotel.

The Americans here who do nothing but drone on about how the shutdown and debt ceiling issues are afflicting their country at the moment are amazed when I tell them that my football club back in Australia has been in that condition for seven years.

Seven Jack!

That is the latest incarnation.

I reckon we are the shadow organisation of the USA.

In the financial crap more often that out of it.

BB its working again


Now that Buddy has gone to Sydney will he be changing his name to Maaate? :unsure:

Now that Buddy has gone to Sydney will he be changing his name to Mate? :unsure:

On that pay rate surely it would be Lord Buddy?

Now that Buddy has gone to Sydney will he be changing his name to Maaate? :unsure:

As he is in the fashion industry it will be "darls" or "doll"or "lovee".

Its great that you blokes are keeping your finger on the pulse even when away

Get the job done over there(nuptials)and return refreshed and renewed to get the list sorted out.

Dont care how many poms yanks or refugees you source as long as they add balance to the list.

Await return with anticipation

Oh and do enjoy the vicarious tourist role provided from your outlines keep up the good work

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

  • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

  • NON-MFC: Round 10

    The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
