Given the context was about the coffee cart, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't include expresso love in your post somewhere.

Is expresso love a euphemism for a quickie?

    Is that what the masters and mistresses of the universe (executives) get up to?

    Maybe. For those that don't know, Expresso Love is a 30-year old Dire Straits song. Music lyrics in the early 1990s were probably more subtle with their references to that particular physical activity than the music of today. (Mind you, not as appalling as the Starland Vocal Band's nearly 50-year old "Afternoon Delight"). I've always thought Expresso Love was blending two themes - appreciation for a woman with a love for coffee ("tastes just like a peach", "with the honeysuckle musk" and "I don't want no sugar in it"* are all, in my view, references to coffee).

     

    NB: *Demonstone - please direct your complaints about the double negative to Mark Knopfler.

    Sorry Kev, I was making a silly joke - a play on words from that stupid dire straits song combiing your comment you don't like something for nothing  and radomly working in free kicks

    As in 'money for nothing and your kicks for free'

    Safe to say, quite a stretch.

    But I agree with you about free kicks btw. 

    Except it's chicks for free....have you been singing Alex the Seal whenever our lips are sealed comes on for 40 years too Bin??

    Oh yes, so it is.

    My joke was a total bust from start to finish!

    Chicks for free?

    The 80s were certainly another time.

    Can't imagine a major record label would be putting out police's Don't stand so close to me in 2022.

    100% about the coffee.  The Stones also pioneered the coffee analogy into rock & roll with their very raw... "Brown Sugar"

    I don’t know how old he was when he wrote it but he was 33 when it was released. Twice the age you’d hope for him to have been. Any way you cut it, that’s a big bunch of wrong. 😁

    The Beatles opened their Melbourne concert at Festival Hall in 1964 with "I Saw Her Standing There" which starts with the lines, "Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean". 

    Times have changed.

    "Brown Sugar" was definitely NOT about coffee! 

    It's also not the original working title of the song which I wouldn't dare post on a family forum like Demonland.

    They no longer play the song in concerts given the belated backlash to the lyrical content.

    Ripping tune all the same and one of their all time best tracks.

    Back on topic (Dire Straits) - this was posted here in December 2020 after it was announced that Josh Mahoney was going to Essendon and that Mark Williams had been hired as an assistant at Melbourne.

    "I know we've been in dire straits, but I didn't expect to lose Mahoney for nothing and get Chocs for free."

    I laughed at the thought, then googled. They ARE still performing!!!  60th anniversary tour this year. 

    I'll never bag Geelong again!  

    Oh, who am I kidding  😈

    Ringo didn’t write it… it’s written by the Sherman brothers and was originally recorded by, I think, Johnny Burnette; although lyrically it’s probably something more suited to Jerry Lee Lewis.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
