Biffen's entourge was just knocking down the value of the place so he could buy it on the cheap, I'm sure.  Future business hub, Biffen?

 

Well I must say it's delightful to hear from the canuck correspondent.

Both you and dc made quite reasonable suppositions about the said property, however, the truth of the matter is that Biffen was rejected as a potential occupant on the basis of his poor character and record of appalling behaviour in that area.

And yes Mabel ...... I did survive Asia .... just .... but have barely survived recent encounters with Biffen.

My financial health is particularly damaged.

Planning the big effort for the Lions game at the Gabba.

Travel on the day will be car to Tullamarine,  plane to GC, car to Surfers, then walk, tram, train, bus, bus, train, tram, walk. 

A nice variety of travel indeed. Hopefully it ends up in a Dees win.

PS. Almost forgot, hopefully a banana snack on the train.

I am a lawyer. Can I help? My fees are nowhere like Robert Richter's, the great defender of the Catholic faith. just ask uncle George. The Vatican would be just about totally impecunious when he sends his Pell bill. Then again, Jesus saves, the Vatican is simply loaded due to his divine in financial interventions, a bottomless pit. Sorry I used the word bottom  in relation to matters Sub Judice, as it were,

Smoking bananas is so De Rigeur. Anyway, smoking is banned on public transport these days. They have CCTV cameras in every nook and cranny flat.

Say, anybody heard from Uncle Bitter recently? Or has he gone into hiding after his recent adventures in SE Asia?

Nice to have you back Maple. Have you been away visiting your homeland Canadia?

Medicinal intervention can help. Do you, by chance, have a sympathetic GP? Please don't shoot any more elephants and saw their horns. It is not kosher any more. Same with hippos. Settle down, Bitter, take a hobby, learn golf, learn Hungarian, learn how to cook your grandmother's favourite recipes. Meditate. Mindfulness. Eat less donuts. Read Dostoevsky. Get cultured. Ignore the Romsey riff raff. What more can I tell you.

Resurrections only happen in Mahler Symphony number 2. You are such an uncultured hick, Moonshadow.

No I’m not . You should have seen the sights at Casey yesterday. They could have come from Romsey I suppose. But they were frightening....

Nothing wrong with a bit of Mahler Symphony no 2, especially at about 100 decibels for the last minute or two. Highly appropriate for our next premiership ...

I hate Mahler 2: it's lightning hitting a scheissenhaus, the resurrection bit a regurgitation of Catholic mumbo jumbo. 

Give me number 7 and 9 any day. Or, Das Lied von der Erde.

There is enough Mahler to go around for everyone. No shortage of good stuff of his.

Yes. I recall a memorable 16-part version Ich bin der Velt ... Bruckner and Janacek are not at the top of my list, but Bach, now you are talking!

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
