The No T$ No B$ Thread

[Redleg 37,447]

For all those Demonlanders who haven't posted on the T S thread, please feel free to post on this one, as long as you don't mention anything about you know who. If you have posted on the TS thread, please ban yourself from this one. If you can't think of anything to say, just say hello, as I am sure some of us would even be happy to read greetings rather than TS speculation for the next 2 months

[Slartibartfast 15,715]

G'day Redleg, going Sunday??

[nutbean 8,837]

I shouldn't be posting here.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Really need to mow my back lawn, it really is looking untidy.

[rpfc 27,383]

This post should probably be deleted.

[Tatu 416]

I shouldn't be posting here.

There is very few posters who should...

[Deeoldfart 7,709]

Great initiative Redleg! I read the 'you know who' thread, but conscientiously avoid posting because I know full well that I wouldn't be able to match most of the BS that goes on over there.

[Tony Tea 2,784]

And in selection news - Melbourne have cut a swathe through last weekend's team which was pumped by the Bulldogs at Etihad. The Dees have made wholesale changes for this weekend's traditional bye.

[Redleg 37,447]

G'day Redleg, going Sunday??

Scoop Junior wants to and if Mrs. Redleg has no objections I will be there. You can tell who runs my home. Will probably bring KC from Casey if I come and then also WJ will most likely tag along.

[Redleg 37,447]

Really need to mow my back lawn, it really is looking untidy.

I suggest mowing with the grain it makes for a nice look.

[Redleg 37,447]

I shouldn't be posting here.

No you shouldn't, but if you mend your ways you have permission.

[Redleg 37,447]

This post should probably be deleted.

We are waiting.

[Redleg 37,447]

Great initiative Redleg! I read the 'you know who' thread, but conscientiously avoid posting because I know full well that I wouldn't be able to match most of the BS that goes on over there.

I took the view that as I actually know nothing about what is going on with the situation, I wouldn't be able to add anything meaningful.

Scoop Junior wants to and if Mrs. Redleg has no objections I will be there. You can tell who runs my home. Will probably bring KC from Casey if I come and then also WJ will most likely tag along.

In that case, I think I will make my first appearance at Casey for 2011. See you there Fan and Redleg.

anyone know how to build a timber bar for my spare garage so i can sit there drink beer and watch tv?

I had to take out my internal stairs to give me more living space upstairs and I'm using the stairs as my downstairs bar. See if you can find an 'L' shaped already removed timber staircase and chuck it on a base of brinks and you've got yourself an instant bar! I'm having a crack at a pizza oven now. In Queensland we can eat outside during winter.
