Brian or Brain Taylor? I am not sure who Brain is! Certainly not the bloke on 7 surely.

If we lose today I will be blowing chunks.

I can't see it happening.

I'm hoping we can smash them by about 15 goals and start the press  gang turning on the little talking computer they have as coach.

Buckley,Bolton,Eade,will all be sacked during the year in long slow assassinations.

Should be fun.

We have enough fronts already. That's the lesson of Napoleon's retreat, not to mention the ignominy of Barbarossa.

Also, I remind you, winter is approaching. Going to war at the MCG in thongs and a T Shirt is no longer appropriate battle wear.

Bit early for a schnapps Dieter isn't it?

Never too early. 

I have learnt from history. I am a forlorn prophet on Demonland.

Yes true Uncle, I am drawn back to it, but that does not give the thread any credibility. 

I have long known of my own failings but perhaps you need a new angle,

I suspect that only a few still visit this thread, 

I have an affection for you but its time to move on. 

 

 

At least Hemmingway, both you and I retained some semblance of dignity and rare humility, not to mention literary credo!

Not sure about taste though. To even contemplate an affair with Gertrude is an un-abideable abomination. Mind boggling juxtapositions.

If you had ever spent an afternoon with Gertrude you would not say such things Dieter and you would then understand that there is more to a person that what meets the eye.

Although she appeared in a couple- she weren't no oil painting .

Yes, James Joyce told me in his quaint Irish Brogue that, basically, she was a swell gal. Perhaps you may have had an affair with Ezra Pound? Now, there was a sharp mind...

The Barossa has had some ill effects on me  I'll admit Skinny but I would not call it ignominious.

I actually teared up as I passed some very familiar names when I drove through there the other day.

BTW, speaking of wine, have any of you boozers read that the tax on wine is under review? It seems we may have to pay more for a decent red but I'm not sure what impact it will have on the fourpenny dark that Biffen and Moonie   quaff.

Won't effect old dee of course as he shmoozes free pinos. (Which he refuses to share I might add)

You'll be hit the hardest Uncle Bitter as the tax is based upon volume, which means your goon bags might double in price to as much as $8. Might even have to drink using a glass vessel rather than the usual 'layback' technique. Culture with a capital K.

Yes Uncle I am stocking up the cellar as we blog! The last thing I need is an extra tax burden when I order my usual latest vintage 10 dozen Grange for the year! I mean don't they realise that such wine taxes will cost thousands of grape picking jobs, done by 457's and backpackers by the way.

Your social conscience  is commendable Earl. You are a credit to us genteel folk.

Just for your info, Bitter, but this is between me and thou and no-one else, I work in the wine business. Just like my noble grandparents in Voivodina/Banat.

( Just wondering, have you driven through there lately? Wondering because you do seem to get round and about and away from the cultural strictures of the Romsey basalt - I presume - mansion.)

Old Dee is really drinking Pinos Cleen under another label - he probably thinks it's retsina in disguise - by the way. Have that on good authority. Never envy the free tipples of your neighbor, I always say, you don't know what brand of tipple they are really consuming. It could also be called Pinos Envy.

And, as for that pretentious Onanist Moonshine Shadow, or, Moonie as you call him, he doesn't even know how to spell Kulture in English. Disregard anything he says. And, remember, volume is volume, whether it's metric or supine, or perpendicular. 

My motto is, Don't let Pseuds confiscate any of my 3 or so remaining brain cells.Think about it and I encourage you to emulate that state of karma.

When you sniff, swirl and sip can you really tell the difference about the immigrant status of the picker? Wow, I really admire your palate. You must be an incognito MW.

All mywine is hand picked by virgins 

Which counts out most backpackers.So I've dodged a business expense there.

Despite Bitters consumption of Gallons of Vin Ordinaire kept in a plastic tank,he is no officionado on the subject.

I have had great trouble finding virgins in Tasmania and Mornington Peninsula but I did manage to get this years vintage in .

It would be nearly impossible to do in New Zealand.

Apparently it's why Jesus wasn't born in Italy, that and the shortage of 3 wise men.

    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
