Saturday morning my Grand daughter and I had pancakes, banana and maple syrup.

Very nice I can say.

Her Footy team selection is still to come but I think she has joioned the great Banana appreciation club.

The secret which my Father used on me is to get them in while they are still young.

    strangely....I've been there....lol.....wasnt all that warm that day from memory to tell the truth

    its a hop skip and a jump from a YHA I stayed at many many moons ago.

    I was broke...I made a deal with the manager to trade labour for lodgings ( and food ) I painted thebasement and stairs. A few others caught on to my deal. A certain Mary from Colorado ( funny what you remember ) did it to and decided to thank me . She took me out to dinner..A little cafe at the end of a lonG LONG pier in Halifax. I swear at one moment I was being set up and reminded me of a funny Get Smart episode.. Lapping water, deep fog, boats fog horns etc. quite surreal

    anyhow sat at table . No chairs matched not the cutlery. She ordered two house specials.

    Promptly two mugs of tea arrived. Followed by the biggest bowl of hand cut chips.I thought..Cool..Tea and chips...we were both pretty broke after all.

    Then

    Then

    Two plates with half a lobster each... It was the chepaest meal in Halifax...no lie . The lobsters were rejects. bashed shells etc Cafes restaurants wouldnt touch them and so this weird littel cafe bought them for next to nothing.

    I sent back a telegram ( htas how long ago ) to Dad...

    In Halifax...stop

    Broke..stop

    Forced to eat Lobster....stop

    please send money.....stop

    strangely none arrived !!!! LOL

    There's an obvious reason why no money arrived. After you asked for it you wrote "stop", so he stopped.

    Don't know where to put this so will see if it has any impact among the more astute correspondents on the site

    Just watching the tour and see an ad for colonial first state featuring red and blue traffic lights

    QBE we're long term supporters of Sydney enjoyed the journey and success through promotional campaign.

    Could colonial be an opportunity for the club to secure a long term sponsor with a profile that would be mutually beneficial?

    Could someone mention this to our club decision makers?

    Oh I had only one meaning there Mr Moon and that was to recruit them into supporting a football team, in this case the Melourne football Club before they get recruited by some other Clubs supporter.

    This buzzard will have a few kids (well, teenagers) in tow at the MCG this week, including a visitor from Dili. Details are a bit unclear as yet (as tickets for them have been arranged by someone else), but I will be there.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
