Got the follow up banner 

 

Mine are still up, trying to work out the appropriate time to take them down. I guess when the neighbours tell me enough is enough.

Neighbours? Bah! Like I said, S. Alighieri, 57 days. At least...

And your follow-up banner qualifies you for an extension anyway!

Yes, it looks very healthy.  He's even got some growing in the gutter!

He ran out of space.

Not sure if I’ve done this correctly. If I have, enjoy my handiwork. If I haven’t, you’ll just have to die wondering. 😆

 

Only available space left is on the roof! Next year maybe you'll get a flag or banner up there

Just put the premiership bumper sticker on the back of my car. Positioned it top left so there's plenty of room for more

...And make sure your second car has good space.

As many of you fellow Victorians would attest to, over the past week we have endured some of the strongest winds I've ever seen in my life other than sitting through a category 3 cyclone 20 years ago in Cairns. 

Houses have wilted, multiple massive shipping containers have collapsed on each other , 100+ yr old trees destroyed, towns without power for days. 

My Dees scarves, tied only by the tassels at each end to my flimsy tree in the front yard have not moved an inch

Yep, I've had to rescue two flags this week and do some running repairs on the fixing systems of 2 others. Still get the occasional "toot" as someone drives by.

That’s lucky. I have structural damage to my roof that will cost me a bundle.

'Tis a significant week ahead, folks; Tuesday will be 57 days from #13@25/9. Time to furl all those flags?

Yeah.

Nah.

Walking back to my place from the shops on Saturday when one of my neighbours collared me and said,  its time, so I said for what, thinking she might have wanted to have a coffee with me. Well she said when am I thinking of taking down my banners? Well to tell the truth I hadn't considered it, so I said, off the top of my head, maybe Christmas when I put up my decorations.

But now that it seems to upset this busy body I think I'll leave it for another year and just replace them with next years ones.

This is a car I saw when I was having a walk on Sunday, that's dedication.

what type of file is it e.g. .jpg ,tff ,png etc?

i should have said simple copy/paste using right mouse click rather than cut/paste, and don't use embed.

It shows up on my post, all three times, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 🤨

Thankfully just a Merc. Makes me wonder whether a Jaguar in blue with red touches added would be showing loyalty to the club beyond what good taste should allow.

Now I know how to do it this is one I posted on another thread but it didn't show up either, a jumper signed Jack Viney and Brian Wilson who was there on the night. A premiership player and a Brownlow medalist.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
