Interesting article in this morning's Age. 

I am now nominating our own dc to mount a campaign to have Borewood renamed Ballyshannassy.

I'll chip in 20 cents.

*ballyshanassy

thanks, uncle. always knew we could count on your manorial generosity. we want more than just a rename but, we want a un observer recognition acknowledging our unique culture.

did you know that ballyshanassy is a local aboriginal word meaning "meeting place"?

    It is Irish, place of John O’Shanassy who was an Irish born settler and twice Victoria’s premier.

    Thank you for that gem of cultural insight dc.

    And ... speaking of sacred sites. I note that your old hunting ground, the Borewood Tennis Club, is now in Glen Iris!!

    That must cut an old Borewoodian rather painfully .

    Yes, she’s a chicken but no one’s successfully invading my house anytime soon. If a stranger approaches her she lets out an otherworldly scream the likes of which can only be heard during a messy murder. Her name is Rooey and she loves cuddles and having her wattles tickled.

    I think dc's visits to that worthy establishment have a more carnivorous intent Red!

    Think I prefer the scones with cream and jam and a nice hot cup of tea to wash it all down.

    Talking of scones has made me think about biscuits, strange isn't it?

    My favourite biscuit is the Anzac.  Just love them.

    I am sure we will soon here from the tim tam lovers.

    Wonder if Uncle Bitters is an iced vo vo fan.

     In this age of technological advancement in every facet of life we have driverless cars, 3D printers, robots performing surgery, we’ve landed a vehicle on Mars, the list goes on, and on and on. Why, then, can we not have interviews on TV via satellite WITHOUT that annoying 5-second delay?!?! It’s 2024, not 1954. Surely some boffin or other can figure out a way to do it.

     

    PS: my favourite biscuit is the Tim Tam, but not any old Tim Tam, I love the ‘Chewy Caramel’ variety, in particular.

    When I see the word Mikado I think of Gilbert and Sullivan and of course Japan.

    As the biscuit appears to be called Elite and Chocolate Mikado is the flavour, I wonder what other flavours they come in.

    Silver Sake.  Strawberry Sashimi.  Neapolitan NiNgiri. Tangerine Tempura. Lemon Yellow Yakitori. Raspberry Ramen. Nectarine Nasu Dengaku.  Uncle's Udon.

    • 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.

    • 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?
