BBO has never met a bottle of plonk he didn't like.

Let's just say -when the Romsey cellar is drained ,The Manor becomes a resort town.

i.e- he'll resort to anything.

 

I must say I had a hearty laugh when reading this morning's Herald Sin.

It seems there is a move afoot to have Warnie Knighted!

FMD! Sir Shane of House Bogan!

I reckon our own @Earl Hood who has been smoozing after a gong for years, would leap of the uppermost balcony of his Fitzroy Hipster Palace if it happened.

It's not only for services to cricket, but also his immense charity/poker work and donations to strippers. The Earl doesn't get one just for being a soft git.

Oh contrare my good Uncle, may Sir Shane get his knighthood for his trifling 700 plus test wickets, so be it to keep the masses amused. Please keep this information to yourself at all costs. I have been informed by a reliable source within the Palace that I will be recognised at some stage in the new year! The Royal whisper is that there are vacancies in the Royal Order of the Garter no less, members selected exclusively by Her Majesty, not the Parliamentary rabble ! Think about that for a moment, perhaps there will be a touch more respect in your tone from now on!

Naturally I wish you well in your lofty aspirations Earl.

However …… you must know.. there are  "rumours" going around on the social circuit wherein the  good name of your house is associated with certain …… err indelicacies.  Oddly, according to reliable sources,  "garters" seem to have played something of an and up and down role in proceedings.

I, off course, am not one to deal in such slanders but social media being what it is these days ….. who knows how high such tales reach?

Is that what the suppression orders in the media are about? The Age and The Hun have been making a big song and dance about it lately. Earl, your chances of entering St Peter's pearly gates are now zero.

I have just received a call from Government House, advising of my forthcoming knighthood and henceforth I will be known as Sir Redleg of Demonland.

Apparently her Majesty is a major fan of this thread and reads it to the corgis each night.

As modest as I can be, I must say it is long overdue.

PS. Earl already has his honour and that is as far as he is going, an Earl.

All I can say Mr Moons is that both you and Uncle are skirting with contempt by breach of a court order! And for the record if Mr Redleg is correct and a certain person does visit this site, it is all just false MeToo scuttlebutt from the 70’s no less! Who can remember what they did in the 70’s?

Oh, don't be such a choirboy, Earl!

given mr hood already has half a knighthood, his easiest course of action would be to change his given name from earl to knight by deed poll..... problem solved...... knight hood


Having read the last page of this august thread I can only assume that a number of people have been into the Christmas cheer a little early. I only hope after an early start you all have the stamina to go the distance.

Does anyone know how many Demonlanders we have?

Good question Neil. It used to show up at the bottom of , I think, the home page but it seems to have disappeared.

The answer to the meaning of life can be found on this thread ( if you know who to ask) so I'm sure your query (love that word) will be answered in the fullness of time.

Can't believe how quickly this year has gone. It seems like you have a banana smoothie on New Year's day and now it is nearly New Year's Eve.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
