Interesting article in Saturday age recognising the significance of banana prices.

confirms the the foresight and relevance of this this threads contributors

The premise that we react one way or another in our economic outlook depending on the prices of bananas probably says more about our distant knuckle dragging forebears than any sense of fiscal reality

The banana smoothie is an accepted leader in the smoothie genre, but the banana milkshake lags well below chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in the milkshake department.  

As Professor Julius Sumner miller used to say on TV some years ago, " why is it so"?

I think the addition of a large dollop of ice cream and some malt powder improves the banana milkshake immeasurably. Of course, with those things added it is no longer a common or garden variety milkshake. It is a thickshake

We've always understood the particular significance of our yellow tasty fancy. :P

We're quite an enlightened mob really... Well, mainly.....well some :unsure:

interesting yes, eccentric yes, diverse yes, perverse yes, off beat yes, sicko yes, cerebral....at times, enlightened....I will have to think about that...,,  

I haven't ventured onto this thread in a number of years, perhaps five hundred hundred pages ago, but I'm pretty sure the same conversation about bananas and smoothies was going on then too and between the same posters. With all that has happened in the world in that time it is almost reassuring to see some things don't change. 

Will check back after Flag 14.

My memory of milkshakes is they always had a scoop of ice cream. A thick shake had 3-4 scoops.

The talk of bans, moderators (how Orwellian is that), political correctness, fake news and Donald Trump has given me cause to rise from my slumber and re-engage with the world, in particular, this thread. You realise Biff that my posts or lack thereof are mood related. But Trump, Turnbull and Bernardi have got me going. 

We are as happy or as unhappy as we decide to be Hem.

Great to see you back on deck.

Whilst none of us can ever agree on a definition of truth it seems,a few truths are hitting home to the Parliamentarians.Cory really timed his exit/re-entry beautifully but then he never stood for an election to get in.

Cutting travel allowances for ex-ministers is probably the greatest thing the battler from Point Piper has done so far.

My two least fave porky politicians are Kim Beazley and Alexander the Downer ,yet they know the system well enough to have gotten themselves diplomatic posts.

Their daddies must have taught them that one.

"Here's how you do it son,we will get you the seat,you appease everyone and don't make waves,just do your time,then when everyone knows you are only doing time you'll have plenty of mates to give you a soft landing in a nice house OS.Pass the gravy train/boat please and get me the dessert menu."

Take one aluminium mixing container. A " deep " scoop of vanilla icecream out of the big tub. 3 good squirts of desired flavour. Fill to about 2/3 with milk.....under the mixing 'propeller' it went.

Pour into thick milkshake/parfait glass and together with leftovers in the ally cup... Presto...there was your milkshake. You invariably still got to play 'stab' the icecream as there was always a little blob left.

Think i need one right now !!!

Warning, don't light a banana at the beach, you could get "smoke on the water".

Why is everyone so disappointed with Nicole Kidman?

She started her career as Queen of the town bikes,

Built her international face on a Cruise ship

and now seems to be an Urban play thing.

Nobody is Lily white......

 

 

 

Ok-I admit i worked on that one.

Still makes me more worthy of hosting the Oscars than Billy Crystal.

Who has died recently

Again,

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
