Featured Replies

Posted

I have an old corolla which will make it ok...looking for someone to come with me to share petrol and accommodation. Desperately poor so can only do this with help.

The plan is to drive to Holbrook ...... leave about lunchtime Friday and stay overnight on Friday. Then 3 hours to Canberra Sat morning. Drive back to Holbrook accommodation Sat night.......back to Melb Sunday morning arrive sun arvo.
Petrol about $150 total and accommodation around $90-100 for a two single beds times two nights. So the travel/accom could be done for About $175 each.
Prefer stunningly attractive young blond female companion, however will accept old ugly bastard like myself....or any other Demon mad human being. I've got an old corolla but it'll make it. Would be happy to go in your late model Ferrari or similar.

Any other hair brained scheme to get there considered.

 

Send pm to Bitter But Optimistic. He can be described as looking like both of the travelling companions you mentioned and is going to Camberra.

I believe Bitter But Optimistic is driving up from Romsey, you could try him. That said, you might feel more comfortable travelling up with Ivan Milat.

I think Ivan might be otherwise committed. It'll have to be BBO ... scary.

Pretty sure Ivan is a GWS fan anyway. Fat Phil recruited him.

good idea. you could even try your luck with his squeeze when he inevitably passes out

assumes old corolla could make it to romsey, but leaving it there overnight would be risky

Ok thanks for that ...sent him a message. Does BBO's really look like that? Poor thing. I might be able to help with some diet and a quiet word about haircare.

This doesn't sound suss at all :P

 

how much would I have to pay if we pushed the beds together?

(sorry couldn't resist!)

Not to mention, offended.

classic. nice to have a laugh this morning. has anyone actually seen BBO? i have always been intrigued by his photo and posts. almost worth taking the risk and giving him a lift to find out after making sure he is in the backseat with seat belt firmly on to ensure he or she cannot get aroused on the journey.

No offence intended but your username rings alarm bells for me old mate. ;)

Therein lies the problem, H. It sounds good in theory, but BBO gets to a whole new level of "aroused" when you tie him up, buckle him up, strap him in or strap one on...

Gee I can see the headlines already."Crazed gunman kills GWS...innocent road trip goes awry."

Story Ron Barassi as told to Barrie Bretland and translated into English by Haroun Al Rasheed.

He's changed quite a bit since that avatar pic Special Robert. His tounge piercing has a chain hanging from it linked to a bullring nose ring and he has those weird coral growth horn implants under his thinning forehead (committed Demon). Oh, and he always carries at least 2 full bottles of Heathcote shiraz at any one time plus will undoubtedly correct the spelling in the pm you sent him.

Good luck mate!


Well well. Once again I'm happy to allow Dland's comic genii to make their particularly unfunny remarks at my expense.

Unfortunately I am unable to help "special" out (and it's nothing to do with my rule about poor people and the Merc). Rather I already have two freeloading friends of the squeeze joining me for the roadtrip.

Bad luck for them. All the excitement is activating my old flatulence issue and that persistent fungal problem appears to have reinvented itself.

Could potentially have a spare seat in Piper Comanche, passenger gone down with man flu and if he doesnt get up I will have to introduce someone from the bench to fill the vacancy. Looking like he could be out for 426.

The old 426 time frame.

Could be the Romsey version of Wolf Creek then Uncle Bitter...

that's only 4 pax you miserable sod.........small benz?

but that's not counting the eskies i s'pose

Sorry to detour from the themes of general deviancy, but how good is it to be contemplating crazy road trips to watch Melbourne again? I google mapped how long it would take to drive from my place to the arena before deciding that 14.5 hours driving in a day for a football game would not be on the cards. Still, I'm enjoying the optimism. I'll be disappointed if the crowd volume doesn't favour Melbourne on Saturday.

Correct plus certain other "gear" to ensure exciting night after activities in Cantberra.

BTW Biffen has organised accommodation for me in a place called Fyshwick . He assures me it is a very salubrious area.

It'll certainly be a step or two up on what you're accustomed to BBO.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
