That could be read in soooooooooo many bad ways Toady.


twas Grand Praire , Alberta

Thanks. Sounds like even late spring would be chilly there ...

 

strangely....I've been there....lol.....wasnt all that warm that day from memory to tell the truth

its a hop skip and a jump from a YHA I stayed at many many moons ago.

I was broke...I made a deal with the manager to trade labour for lodgings ( and food ) I painted thebasement and stairs. A few others caught on to my deal. A certain Mary from Colorado ( funny what you remember ) did it to and decided to thank me . She took me out to dinner..A little cafe at the end of a lonG LONG pier in Halifax. I swear at one moment I was being set up and reminded me of a funny Get Smart episode.. Lapping water, deep fog, boats fog horns etc. quite surreal

anyhow sat at table . No chairs matched not the cutlery. She ordered two house specials.

Promptly two mugs of tea arrived. Followed by the biggest bowl of hand cut chips.I thought..Cool..Tea and chips...we were both pretty broke after all.

Then

Then

Two plates with half a lobster each... It was the chepaest meal in Halifax...no lie . The lobsters were rejects. bashed shells etc Cafes restaurants wouldnt touch them and so this weird littel cafe bought them for next to nothing.

I sent back a telegram ( htas how long ago ) to Dad...

In Halifax...stop

Broke..stop

Forced to eat Lobster....stop

please send money.....stop

There's an obvious reason why no money arrived. After you asked for it you wrote "stop", so he stopped.

Don't know where to put this so will see if it has any impact among the more astute correspondents on the site

Just watching the tour and see an ad for colonial first state featuring red and blue traffic lights

QBE we're long term supporters of Sydney enjoyed the journey and success through promotional campaign.

Could colonial be an opportunity for the club to secure a long term sponsor with a profile that would be mutually beneficial?

Could someone mention this to our club decision makers?

Eg. A new sponsor early this year.

Are you sure OD as my letter demanding a premiership in 2014 has sadly been misfiled.

That could be read in soooooooooo many bad ways Toady.

Oh I had only one meaning there Mr Moon and that was to recruit them into supporting a football team, in this case the Melourne football Club before they get recruited by some other Clubs supporter.

You know it most be done as MY GOD MAN they could become a Collingwood Supporter!

Noone would want that to happen.

Don't visit that part of Canada

I thought Canada was part of the United States!

Late last year I went to the US(New York)....Took a quick flight to Niagra falls.......Very cold for Oct/Nov

A couple of weeks later I saw a newpaper article and photo where the falls had frozen over.....The place where I had been sitting taking photos was covered in ice and snow and icicles hanging from the hand rails

Now that's cold.

I thought Canada was part of the United States!

This buzzard will have a few kids (well, teenagers) in tow at the MCG this week, including a visitor from Dili. Details are a bit unclear as yet (as tickets for them have been arranged by someone else), but I will be there.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
