I've quaffed a few on occasion skinny but they're not on my regular slurping list.

D you know the origin of the famous drop 'Bailleys and Bailleys'?

 

Tayla Harris kicked a BANANA last night. 
Just thought I’d mention it on account of this thread being (in part) dedicated to bananas. 
I still don’t know why. 🤔

Green bananas.

Are they OK here? Can someone give me a potted banana (indoor plant?!) history? I'm still like @WalkingCivilWar too.

Educated guess: there was a time when the price of bananas was such that one had to just about take out a second mortgage on one’s home in order to buy a decent bunch. 
That’s all I can put it down to.

Her banana goal was so smooth, it can be referred to as a banana smoothie.

If Bayley Fritsch kicks a banana, smooth or otherwise, can it be referred to as a BANANA FRITTA?

And if Big Maxy kicks one…

Thus is opened, temporarily, a can of worms.

Bread and butter kick for Tommy...

Tim you seem a touch confused. The unmentionable’s name is not the name of the thread, but only part of it, abbreviated by first letters only. So his name is not No T$ No BS but rather part of the thread title only. Hope that clears it up for you.

Secondly why are you talking about him, as he doesn’t exist on here.

Third, keep enjoying the thread and post on all matters non T$ or non BS, as is the mantra of the thousands of fellow contributors.

Fourth, be nice to uncle Bitters, as he might invite you around to the manor for a tipple, from his latest wine cask, purchased from the local $2 shop, on one of their half price special sale days. You can get a lovely drop for a dollar these days.

…. rather the days of the $1.50* flagon of claret, around the era of our previous flag. 
 

* erratum.  Back then of course it was 15 shillings.

"dat  be too easy" said the irish man "for me first wish, o'il have a a baileys and for me second wish o'il have anotha one". So said the leprechaun  "thad'll be a baileys and baileys den".

I have a few shillings, along with florins, pennies, half pennies, six pences, thruppences etc, in my collection of old Aussie coins.

If only I had a 1930 Penny.

Dan's bought out the best Liquor outlet in Adelaide, Bailly and Bailyy's, then used their House Brand and marketed it throughout Australia and , yes, it's Riverland material, the stuff once used in casks.

 

By the way, I watched the second half of the 2015 Anzac Day Richmond game: was that you exposing your half naked torso during the last quarter? If it is/was, I'd go on a diet - eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we diet - and no, my name is not a version of someone who diets, nor is my name or torso skinny.

My brother has a 1960 Penny. (His wife’s name is Penny and she was born in 1960.) And if I know my brother as well as I think I do, I’m sure he’d be more than happy to swap her for a couple of your florins or shillings. 🤣

Yeah nah that ship’s sailed. 😆

My sister-in-law is awesome. It’s my brother who’s the pain in the arze. For starters, he’s a hardcore Carlton supporter and has never forgiven me for not being a Navy Blue. But I’ll leave that for if/when a Dr Phil thread is created. 👍🏽

Personally I would have nothing to do with him.

For years the only time I hear from him is when he shoots me a snarky text after a Melbourne loss. Especially if it’s at the hands of Carlton.
🤔 Funny thing, I haven’t heard from him in quite a while. 😁

Can I ask

is Nigel Farage the UK pollie, is he a secret contributor to this thread and if so what is his moniker?

he is all over the Banana Republik thing.

  • 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.
