I presume you haven't quite got the hang of this virtual reality thing when you're practising your disciplinary techniques, BBO.

As for the local group, who pays fees until they're obliged to? They're looking forward to your efforts to pursue that obligation.

Arrgh, there's the rub, now I can see why you are a Dr Dr, and not just your standard garden variety alchemist.

You have spanked the nail on the head!!!

You see, my life is virtual reality - I think.

Went to the family day with Mrs. Redleg, our daughter and grand daughter number 1. Biggest crowd at a Dees family day in the last few years.

My wife, daughter and GD were there Mr. Leg.

all enjoyed it. They were surprised at the numbers.

Mrs OD was impressed she saw no bogans and thought the supporters were nice.

I have been telling her that for 45 years obviously Pies supporters are slow learners.

What did she expect when we have such fine upstanding supporters as BBO, Earl Hood and Biffen?

I am seeking advice from my fellow Dlanders. It has recently come to my attention an accusation that my favourite scullery maid, Conchita has been stealing from my wine collection! I have checked the cellar and yes there are bottles of Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Merlot missing ( could be BBO though) but then again my bookkeeping on these matters can be a bit erratic at times. I however feel betrayed, I brought my helper over from Columbia for her unique cleaning skills on a 457 Visa. I offered her the median wage of $55K per year and the usual requirement that she accompany my main Man, Hudson to the ATM to withdraw $500 every week to put back to our housekeeping fund. What more can I do?

Fear not Earl. I can put you in touch with helpers who can take your wine for a far lower annual wage. I can have them drain the contents and return the bottles with an appropriate substitute. Might even do it myself.

I had to push many children aside to get on the free rides before 11am. Also had to shove some kids and grannies aside to get selfies with the players .I am surprised so many turned up to sunny St Kilda and next year I will be selling some merch to the kids from the famous Garwick. 

That is if we haven't been bulldozed by the white shoe brigade.

Well your pay is certainly reasonable Earl but does Conchita  adhere to the ..err .. "appropriate" dress code for one of her station?

As the for above "wines", you should be thankful they are gone from your collection. Fill the gaps with some decent shiraz.

I recall someone pushing Mrs. Redleg out of the way, it must have been you.

Fortunately for Biff he did not push Mrs OD as the wrath of a Collingwood supporting grand mother would have been more than he could have defended.

With or without her umbrella!

Wouldn't think so Moon. One of Earl Hood's aristocratic background and breeding would insist on his maids being clean shaven, surely?

Yes, but Earl is a sophisticate with great taste in emerging music talent. Amongst other, er, how shall I say...... dutiful obligations, I reckon he'd like his servants to sing for their supper.

Are you referring to Earl's droit de seigneur, Moonie? I'm sure tradition and bloodline would expect nothing less.

Hey Bitter 

I was perusing the commercial real estate lists recently ( As I am sure many of us do ) and I NOTICE THE FREEHOLD OF THE GAT IS FOR SALE - VACANT POSSESSION!!!! TRUE OR JUST A RUMOUR? WHAT ABOUT THE IN-MATES, WHERE WILL THEY GO?

Well I have visited The Gat on occasion - purely business you understand - and as such business can be conducted elsewhere its sale will only impact on me for reasons of nostalgia. 

Biffen, however, as a resident of said establishment has not been the same since its sale was announced. If you wish to know more, I suggest you raise the subject (cautiously) with him.

A very civilised idea ( if you are of the male aristocracy).

Anyway doc who has the primae noctis   rights in Hopping Dicks? I imagine that would be just one of many arcane rituals prevalent in your neck of the backwoods.

Good doctor, until same sex marriage is legal in this unfair land,  droit de seigneur is moot in so far as Earl's servants are concerned

Good heavens a simple request for advice about one of my employees degenerates into smutty discussions, as if between a group of year 7 boys of transvestites and lords taking first dibs at the local village virgin. No wonder I try to limit my contact with the proletariat!

I did not pick you for a Scotch Collegian Earl but now that you've revealed the boarding house rituals I suppose Le chat est libre de Le sac.

may as well reveal the truth about our democracy and the masons now. You've really given too much info to the peasants who are,as ever, revolting.

Jackaub, 

fear not- yours truly will make my usual 7 cents in the dollar for every single transaction that involves actual money.my asset base, my lovely collegues here, have new digs arranged by moi. Many of them have organised pre payment and wisely deposit their down payments every second Thursday .the future of these wise and thrifty travellers is guaranteed. With the advent of global warming- the homeless need only fear the rising tides of the ocean and not the winds of change.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.
