THE NEW SOCIAL ORDER 😀

 

Bring a plate:

Some CWA help including lamington recipie, for blokes to cook up a storm!  (empty plate provided separately)

 

Bring a decent shiraz

A little gem from any vintage.  A Romsey neighbour no less.  Presumably it features in The Manor's well stocked cellar ensuring an ample supply to accompany the culinary storms the blokes cook up!

 

Meanwhile, sheilas can sit back😀, relax 😀and

Good heavens Luci !!!

I must say I never picked you as some sort of insurrectionist !

Your quite appalling suggestion that blokes do the cooking while sheilas sit back and tipple vino gave me quite an attack of the vapours.

It's contrary to natural order of things ..... I have to stop writing ...... the mere thought of it ....!!!!

Such indignation!!

Btw, the best chefs in the world are blokes, who cook in k-i-t-c-h-e-n-s!

Haha, there was no stipulation of what culinary storm blokes could cook up:  BBQ?  Spit Roasts?  Whole fish on an open fire?   In my neck of the woods these are a man’s domain!!!   Shock😲 and horror - sometimes they even venture to cook on an outdoor k-i-t-c-h-e-n!

And what else can ladies do but relax and sip a vino while the blokes cook, with beer (or decent shiraz) in hand.  Come on Bbo, Fair’s Fair!🙃

Anyway, you could try cooking a barbie just to test that ‘natural order of things’☺️.  Skills learnt can easily transfer to a real k-i-t-c-h-e-n!  On second thoughts the latter might be a bridge too far for someone who lives in The Manor!

As for the vapours, I'm told this was a popular remedy in the ‘good old days’😉:

My recent tour through the outback led me to reminisce on the good old days in our fine country.

In particular, seeing a few old church halls and " Mechanic's Institutes " where many a dance, engagement party or other community event took place  made me remember that famous ( and very important ) decree , "Ladies bring a plate "

There was a very clear social order in the good old days. Blokes drank beer and sheilas made lamingtons. Nowadays things are very confused. Even a simple a simple request like asking a sheila to hop it to the fridge and get get you another coldie is considered offensive in some circles.

Which, as an aside, makes me wonder what  the sheilas who post on this thread would provide if asked to "bring a plate".

 For the purposes of personal safety, however, I'd put that request in writing rather than  face to face)

I gather from @WalkingCivilWar 's posts, that she can barely boil water - so no chance of a decent feed there. @Lucifers Hero often mentions wine, so she might bring a decent shiraz.

Arrrh ..... the good old days !!!!

Nah, that one made a fortune, spouting [censored] about climate change, something like most evangelicals in the climate change field, he knows very little about.

But I have had the operation.

PS: Mrs Hardwick heard I was on the coast and just rang to ask me to give Dimma a message if I saw him. She said it was GAGF. What does that mean? Is it a message of love?

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
