I do,! I reckon Uncle Bitters has more skeletons in the closet than "10 Rillington Place"! Gee that might stretch a few memories??!

FMD!!! If you are that old picket you should be dead. Doesn't matter though, Hemingway is dead and he still posts. DC has relations with the almost dead and he still posts. Moonie is brain dead and he still posts. Biffen is morally dead and he still posts. Lawyers are ethically dead and they still post.

I'm getting depressed and must retire for the night.

pre-mortem was the word you were searching for bitters. biffen on the other hand prefers ...............

This page has given me biggest laugh I've had all week.

I've always had a thing about "Lady Penelope" Uncle Bitters, Spine tingling stuff don't you agree!??

Good heavens Pickett do you have no respect for the recently departed? Our good Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward (née Anderson) passed away just last week. Yes we were adversaries at times but we also had a certain rapport, things could have been different but there just too many strings to untangle to make things work! I have been in mourning since I heard the news. 

The mere thought of the Uncle drooling over Mi Lady makes me sick to my stomach. And I suspect DC has similar urges as well! Do any of you have one iota of moral decency? 

While I am at it is anyone interested in purchasing a pink roller with a few miles on the clock?

The last time DC seduced a younger woman they made a sex tape.

I believe they called them silent movies in those days.

 

One of your finest Boffin, er...

I'm assuming that is a rhetorical question, Earl?

looks like earl has wrested the keeper of the moral compass title from that distinguished predecessor, to add to his other titles

And you should be dead with the amount of shiraz you consume Bitters.

Will you be sporting the depressive maths teacher look with ugly colourful jumper mismatched with slack,long sock and sandals or maybe you'll just run with the reclusive snowdropper turtle neck? I never know with you. 

Ill be wearing plaid and stripes as usual.

You'll be wearing a hound's tooth jacket with leather elbow patches I'm guessing Biff. The stereotypical Demons supporter for sure.

Pamela Anderson's mother died?

Have it on good authority that Biffen and Uncle Bitter were very complimentary towards the umps during the first half of the game.

I will be up and about early tomorrow for my normal one hour power walk but I won't be crossing Smith Street into Collingwood tomorrow that is for sure. They are getting one hell of a pasting from the Swans. Will be dangerous territory tomorrow for non believers. There is some good coffee to be had in Abbottsford so I may have to approach via East Melbourne.  

You know it is a good day when the Dees win and both the scum and the filth get flogged .... 

DC hasn't reported in tonight,I think he might be kicking a few goals in Glen Iris right now.

Finally recovered from the  ....excesses .. excitement of Saturday at the G.  Bumped into Biffen pre game and couldn't shake him off so consequently had to put up with his loutish and drunken behavior throughout the afternoon.

There were good looking sheilas nearby and your old Uncle might have struck up a conversation were it not for my immediate company. Anyway, as if sensing my discomfort, Biffen proposed a post game celebratory drink and offered to shout. (That is, shout something other than obscenities).

We decamped to an absolute dump of a pub where Biffen purchased a bottle of horse [censored] that had apparently been mislabeled as Shiraz. Well I had to reciprocate .....

What has my life become .................?

 

 

I recall the afternoon differently to our debauched uncle bitters. 

I arrived at Fed square nice and early so as to deliver my theories on modern feminism to my adoring public. The throng were soon enthralled ( particularly accepting of my idea that lesbianism will increase due to the absence of real men in modern society). Soon after I had delivered the lecture and was receiving congratulate drinks from my undergraduate fans when who should interlope with his Brown stained vinyl jacket than the flatulent one himself.

more later as I have a pressing g mer a tile arrangement to attend to...

his speech was word for word from my recent blog - "the modern hellenic revolution - the decline of heterosexuality in the west"

Mercantile rather.

Once again technology has destroyed my perfect syntax.

Biffen, during this 'meeting', did you and Uncle Bitter manage to avoid attracting the attention of the local constabulary?

Now listen everybody while there is a quiet moment. I have it on very good authority ( a tradey I frequently employ who is shagging one of Earl Hood's maids). Apparently everyone in the Earl's household is walking on eggshells. The Earl is beside himself that he did not get a sniff in the Australia Day Awards. Now I'm sure he will crack tough. but this combined with the reversals from his Cuban adventure could push him over the edge.

We all know what the aristocracy (tories)  can do in these circumstances! Fishnet stockings, garter belt, a rope and hope for a happy ending!!!

Feeling the Earls pain here.

Disgusting in this age of innovation and free trade that the unselfish efforts of the earl are not suitably recognised.

Although I may be incorrect with some of this statement!???????

 

Please Ignore

Haven't participated in any of the wonderful conversations that occur on this thread since this apparently unsent missive.

Cant seem to delete the reference and hope this submission clears it .

Was concerned about the outcome of proceedings given the sudden interruption.

Was Bitter overcome by the Poor quality shiraz

Was Biffen affected by the g mer a tile arrangement

Was DC overcome by his outing coinciding with a Dees win

The coincidences of victory can often leave an addled and confused state , similar to that evidenced by Malcolm on finally achieving the prize but not knowing what to do next. 

I hope our players are receiving appropriate post match remedial treatment to ensure that the next match continues their astonishing rise and the unfamiliar territory of winning.

Oh ... and just to add to any confusion from the conglomeration of posts above, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT listen to Biffen when he gives a "sure thing" tip on the races. Now excuse me while I put my idiot's cap back on and give my ( poorer but wiser) self a jolly good flogging.

picked up my scarf at the mfc tent before the game from josh wagner. he just grinned when i said "guten tag herr wagner. ich mag deine musik"
