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.

    You know it most be done as MY GOD MAN they could become a Collingwood Supporter!

    Noone would want that to happen.

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
