    I remember on a Shaun Micallef show years ago how whenever the name Barnaby Joyce was mentioned, it was immediately followed by three women dressed up like the Andrews sisters singing "Is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?". Very clever I thought, but I guess you had to be there (and if you know who the Andrews sisters were, welcome to the Old Farts Club:):o )

    BANANA ALERT

    There is a serious cyclone forming off the Nth. QLD coast which could do serious damage to the banana crop.

    This may be the worst problem of 2016.

    Will it roar ashore and devastate the noble fruit?

    Oh please no

    I think I will go back to bed!

    Rest assured, Mr Old, the Tweed Valley banana farmers will quickly fill any gaps in the market ... at the usual inflated prices of course.

    Gee interesting chart there DC. I am amazed that there were only 139 bananas produced in 2012 and only 18 bananas exported in 2011, hardly seems it would be worth it. I mean I eat that many myself in a year so thank heavens we produce heaps of our own here in Oz.

    18 bananas a year wouldn't keep Redleg in smoothies, or OD's granddaughter in banana splits ... :)

    As my Christian Brother maths teacher used to beat into me so often, what are the units, boy? Numbers are meaningless without them!

    Well, a banana bender has to bend the bananas. That's his purpose in life. The question is whether the bending changes the taste and culinary performance of said bananas. If there's no impact, bring Bananaby on!

    Do you think supplies would resume in two weeks?

    Good to see a full page spread in today's Age (page 31) on your good self DC, the Ghost Who Walks. What I didn't know and you have kept to yourself, such is your modesty, is that you carried out a special assignment for Prime Minister Hawke back in 1992! What was that secret assignment, to take out Keating?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
