I spent a bit of time in Yokosuka about 15 years ago, my favourite dish was Okonomiyakie (hopefully correct spelling). I hope to get back there one day and do some travelling. From there I went to Vladivostok where I almost got kidnapped, didn’t mind the food though.

Close... okonomiyaki (no ‘e’), so we’ll pay that ?.  I went a couple of times to a really old Okonomiyaki restaurant in the Tokyo district of Asakusa, called Sometaro. It was still in its original building and operated by the same family, and was over 100 years old. Soooo good!  Were you connected with the armed forces in some way (Yokosuka was and maybe still is, the home of a US base).

Giving (Melksham) away the free kick was stupid enough.

I did not realise that was a free kick at the time. Assumed it was on tbe full.

What was it for?

Simple explanation really:

AFL rule 102.3.b.  “A crucial free kick against Melbourne does not require any justification  at all” and 102.3.c “Missing an obvious and especially a crucial free kick to Melbourne does not require any justification  at all”

I don't normally overtly bleat about umpiring, but I watched the first quarter yesterday - granted I was looking only for Melbourne free kicks paid or not paid, jeez I felt there were a lot of holding the balls not paid, a lot of tackles around the neck slipping down not paid, and even some marks not paid.

Is it my bias...seriously, or are the rules not rules, just interpretations these days?

Clearly the Chinese hate us, they are the Nazis of the 21st century. The proof is being stuck up our noses on numerous occasions over the last six months. Nothing to do with racism. I have an Asian son in law and two half Asian grand children who I love dearly so don’t pull that BS on me. 

Then I guess we should stop giving them our coal iron ore and food for hundreds of billion dollars underwriting our superior lifestyle

Since 1945 guess which country  has been at war most often? Guess who has military bases all over the world? I know, they were in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq and Panama and Granada and Libya and Syria and Cambodia etc etc etc  'protecting our freedoms'.

I love the food in China! So many choices and different styles of cuisine that we never get to see here. 

Don’t ask. Just eat whatever it is

It was very soft I've watched it 3 times and still don't know what it was for.

It would help if the commentators didn't turn dwn the umpires' volume so they could make their asinine name dropping etc.

Close. Drop the E. I too love the dish. Best time I've had it was a random restaurant in Tokyo where we didn't speak any Japanese and they didn't speak any English but we just pointed and nodded. I've now been back to Japan almost a dozen times including living on the north island for a few snow seasons, and bullet-training our way across Honshu for our Honeymoon. Would easily move there if I could.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
