Now Uncle you still have the actual money from your first pay. You never give anything away for free. The real cost is always in the fine print.

I shall happily give you a jolly good thrashing for free frogger!

    Very good Ethan, however, that advice would have been even better spent on the buffoon (whose name I have thankfully repressed) who played that most unfunny and cringeworthy character, "Straughanie".

    He has done very nicely out of Straughanie Bbo.

    Looks very bankable from this distance.

    Just a quick note to inform my vast and loyal readership that, come the Sabbath, Uncle Bitter is jetting off to the Asian Colonies to enjoy a well earned respite from  the onerous responsibility of manorial duties.

    Fear not though. A crew of toadies is eagerly awaiting the grand arrival and  your good Uncle shall be treated with respect due to one of high station.

    Unfortunately all is not pucker. It has come to one's attention, that due to bizarre coincidence, Biffen has also chosen this time to flee to the colonies. Further, and based on good authority, it seems his reasons are more to do with avoiding err... legal responsibilities than any form of uplifting cultural experience .

    Nonetheless, it's onward and upward, and given that the hospitality and accommodation set aside for my good self is of lavish standard it is unlikely that your ever kind Uncle shall cross paths with those that frequent common houses and ghettos.

    Be careful not to feed the locals. On my last trip to SE Asia I had a few shots of a drink that contained a dead snake in the bottle. I ended up in ICU, some sort of warning on the label. if it had one, would have been nice.

    Thank you for your concern Ethan, however, the libation you mentioned is more likely to be found in those less than salubrious habitats that one of my station barely glances at from the comfort of my palanquin.

    SE Asia is going to hell in a handbag, quite literally, if Uncle Bitters has his way.

    Me thinks he will come back with an extra servant for the Manor, perhaps what the local dialect refers to as a 'lady boy'. 

    I'm dialling Interpol's number as we speak

    Travelling there solo and going a couple of times a year I’d suggest he’s already on their radar :) 

    I collect spoons, if you see a nice one Bitters please think of my collection.

    Bitters, I thought men of a certain age with, err... how shall I say... a history not dissimilar to that of Woody Allen... were banned from leaving the country.

    Ethan, it's time to pull the cuffs out. And I'm not talking about the fur lined ones

    I have imbibed a similar drink Ethan.Fortunately,along with the other potent drugs Asia has to offer, none of them can harm me.Only after drinking the Cobra blood did i realise it contains the venom present in said snakes fangs.I admit my heart slowed to a snails pace but i thought that was due to the heat.On this journey I will stick to drinking Uncle Bitters duty free gin.

    Looks like nothing can kill you Biffen, Demonland's answer to John Wayne.

    PS. Autocorrect on my phone changes Biffen into buffoon. I blame Stuie.

    How I miss him. His non stop pursuit of equality and moral superiority was the perfect antidote to my actual achievement of human perfection and unquestionable wisdom coupled with my spiritual and intellectual godliness.Sometime one needs a snivelling rat to kick into the gutter to reassure oneself of such a thing.

    I see what you mean - something that makes your hair go instantly frizzy with shock, as distinct from the the other type of aphro.

    I assume Biffo is the only one with cranial hair, so he may have to provide the appropriate visual effects, a la Curly of the Three Stooges.

    Must be an awfully powerful drink!

    Just taking a break from spreading good will in the Far East colonies

    chanced upon biffen yesterday - he was drunk of course and invited uncle to a luncheon

    It was a surprisingly decent tavern and despite being surrounded by his shady associates and a poor choice of wine the tucker was rather good

    come bill paying time Biffen fell for the old chestnut that I'd left my wallet in my room safe

    bwahaha! One to uncle bitter!

    That "can of coffee" I asked you to bring in for me will more than cover lunch.For at least the next decade.An old mule for a hard road say I.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
