Moonie, you just beat me. You are 100% right.

PD think about it. He can't be right because without women there would have been no Greeks and for that matter no Romans or Italians to introduce women to the concept of you know what.

    Romsey is the place Ernie. I care for myself and exploit the community as much as possible.

    i am glad you have contentment at Romsey Uncle but how do the local community feel? Although I suppose your needs are very specific and the local yokels are quite suitable. My guess is that it's very much a case of Stockholm Syndrome.   I think Snowtown also sounds quite pleasant. Or even Wantirna!

    Can it be a coincidence that if you take 'sy' out of Romsey you get 'Rome'?

    I think the difference may be that Rome is the home of classical antiquity and as all Demon fans would know is actually called Roma in Latin.  Suspect that Romsey will never be known as the eternal city or be regarded as one of the birthplaces of Western civilisation, let alone attract tourists other than poor unfortunates that find themselves off the beaten track by listening to Siri. God help them if they find a hand painted sign post to Romsey manor.  They will find a bed but not one for rest.  Having said that I had forgotten that The Vatican City is also located in Roma and currently is the residence of Georgie Porgy Pell. By comparison Uncle and Romsey Manor may be a better place for an overnight stay.

    Ernest, you are letting the side down, mate. Surely Greece is the home of classical antiquity! The Romans certainly had the world domination part down pat, having learned from the downfall of Alexander the Wog, and were handy at engineering, all things military, and building arches on every second corner. But when it comes to counting or calendars or democracy, I am sorry, but they suck.

    Perhaps the Vatican in the time  of the Borgias might be more in keeping ... :)

    Rome, of course, was named after Romulus. If it had been named after Remus, it would have been called Reme.

    In reference to Greek inventiveness.

    Immediately people jumped to other less noble Hellenic traditions.

    but what could be more perfect than Democracy?

    It is a little more disturbing to think that changing the second 'o' in 'Roosey' gets to 'Romsey' :)

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
