Philistines , Mongols, barbarians at the front door ..... what is this thread coming to?

I have tried endlessly to add some refinement to this thread but , apparently, I have failed miserably.

I'll say it again. The only libation for a refined gentleman is .... of course Shiraz.

Follow Uncle Bitter's advice - you won't go wrong!

A good single malt scotch is without doubt better than any cheap, coconut sugar drink, even better than the young grape juice that some here quaff down

I rarely visit this thread, but honestly, enough's enough! Toughen up chaps, for god's sake! This ain't no '80's disco

Certainly keen on a dram of whisky or a gin and tonic!  Recently have been drinking apple cider when the companionship are not keen on spirits

Every Friday night currently starts with sparkling wine, given it is served to me free and is less disgusting then the cheap wines on offer

As some will know, I try to stay away from this thread but again find myself inextricably drawn back into it's web. The first confronting thing I read is mention of BBO followed by the highlighted question/statement. Dare I keep reading I ask myself. I don't know how to unassociate the two but I curse my vivid imagination.

Stuart Broad would have to be the uncoolest cricketer ever.

Stokes and Bairstow have both definitely head-butted someone in a pub at least once.

Jimmy Anderson will be 41 next month. He’s been playing Test match cricket for 20 years. How on earth does his back hold up?

 When will Travis Head 86 that awful moustache?

 I wish we had this level of commentary in footy. Kumar and Tubby are chef’s kiss.

Never mind me, just thinking aloud. 🙃

I’d forgotten all about this. And now he’s their captain. All good, it was years ago, he’s changed his ways, blah blah blah, whatever.

Meanwhile Tim Paine is stripped of his captaincy and made to feel like the scum of the earth because he sent d*** pics to a consenting adult six years ago. Moreover, that’s the captaincy he was unexpectedly thrown into when our then captain, vice-captain and coach decided to cheat on the world stage. Cool. 🙄

Photography is a great hooby and nothing wrong with being proud of one's body.

Well no sleep from the cricket but all good.

Tonight it's the lads over for Origin.

As a New South Welshman for 12 years,  I have finally come to enjoy league.  Although only the origin games. They're kind of like grand finals up here .

And then the big one tmrw.

Life's not too bad.

In this modern world of enlightenment and high regard for minorities, I am coming out and admitting, "I like Midori and really like Kahlua".

As for wine, I dislike reds and don't really like whites.

Shiraz-yuk.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
