well for one, her name. Estibaliz Carranza is a very strange germanic name for an austrian

Read the fine print, DC, ignore the salacious pictures, she's a Spanish National, of Mexican descent.

Apparently into ice cream and concrete.

So much so for being a 'Used Ice Cream' salesman.

It occurs to me that this thread is possibly the only one that can't be derailed. I mean, how could you tell ?

That is the wisest thing said on Demonland so far in 2017. In fact it could  take the crown for 2017.

Yes, strange place. I was born there, fled when I was two. Then my parents thought they were going back but forgot about the difference a consonant and a vowel or two makes. Ended up among the Scotch thistled paddocks and outside dunnies of North Sunshine ( So we're back in Scatland.) 

I've never recovered.

I guess it could be railed, though, by mention of a certain GWS player ... :):blink:

Most of you have missed the great literary genius behind this post. And English is not my mother tongue. Ah, the poetry and symbolism, Scot, Scat, the simple fact that a german knows the difference between a vowel and a consonant...

Pearls before pork munchers, and those who abhor the meat because in the olden days it rotted before a sheep or a cow or a horse or a camel or a donkey did. A refrigerator would have changed the kosher habits and aversions of all Semitic people, their Muslim cousins and brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers included, and given them the benefits of what my favorite Lebanese Deli in Orrong Road used to call 'Kosher Ham.'

you spoke fluent german when you were 2? i'm impressed dieter. of course sunshine was not a good place to learn english so i can sympathise. i grew up with irish parents (what the yanks call "ulster scots") so my english got off to a bad start too, not particularly helped by having german/polish jewish neighbours. still, being able to swear in 4 languages gave me kudos

oh, i forgot and a young viennese migrant couple as neighbours on the other side

You sound blessed: being able to swear in 4 languages.

Not even my father swore. Or my mother. I was distinctly underprivileged.

Ah, what treasure, German/Polish/Jewish neighbours.

I had the Morris Family, Doris Morris, who married the two timing Terry Twomey, and Ronald Morris who called me a poofta because I liked Beethoven.

Still, I was able to bowl him out mercilessly when we played cricket, mainly because I was fast and because at that time I was the greatest living German cricketer.

That was after many years of fruitless overs. And, I admit, he kept encouraging me to bowl faster. He had no fear.

Of a tennis ball.

Ah, not to mention the privilege of being an Ulster Scoot, that wonderfully rich cultural ancestry of dwelling in bogs and being sustained by the noble Taittie.

I envy you, most of all, because of that inimitably poetical cascading Irish brogue.

About time this thread got interesting.

Just ate fried nanas in Ha Long passed off as Vietnamese.

I've eaten them in Australian Chinese restaurants since the 70s

Ha long bay would be beautiful, probably was ,but too many humans here now.

The N/S divide is very much alive.

Call it South China.

Saigon is a rats nest, but Vietnamese all the same.

Still beats Borewood by a by a thousand miles yet nobody here is as sophisticated as Our own DC.

I will make a quick comment on the ridiculous banning of Bitters for writing  "flied lice" or whatever it was.

The most innocuous comment ever in light of the fact that the Chinese may be the most powerful nation in our time. 

Add to this their entrenched racism.

Add to this their population which makes them dominant globally.

In comedic terms We discuss"punching down" or up.

Bitters was punching up .

I'm not sure who banned him and we don't get too OTT on these issues here but I request the Moderator that made that farcical decision to quietly hand in their tin badge.

I would add the Clunes riots were probably in order if anyone here has ever shared a hotel lobby with Chinese tourists en masse.

Dr John, whom I respect for his intelligence,though often disagree

with,is hopefully not the person responsible .

The complainant was DLs Resident SJW.

I'm a solid contributor here.Love it.

So are others whos ideas I dislike. Does not mean they are invalid.

My point is that the censorship here is getting OTT.

Can I suggest we ban a poster based on more than one complainant , and check the track record of the whining regular Mrs Mangles.

I'll invoke Jazza here- who made some crude comments at times but lived a solitary rural life and was a man of his time.I don 't believe he ever meant racial harm but might have caused some minor offence to be taken.He was a minority ,even in his own country.

My main point is, stop the naivety ,stop the PC bans unless WELL deserved.

I love Demonland and hope it grows with our great club.

Race exists,as does religion and politics.

Can we be adults here and make valid points without recriminations or is it Commo China?

I'll defend Aboriginal Ozzies to the hilt but FFS I need an explanation.

Please Explain.

You can't beat a good old fashioned banana fritter to wash down a cheeky Chinese meal. Ice cream, cream, caramel sauce and some purple stuff.

I love a good Biffo rant. Should be more of them.

In fact, I have a theory. Has anyone seen Biffo and Titus O'Reily in the same room at the same time???

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
