God almoighty, as though Australia doesn't doctor pitches.

So if your opening batsman is averaging 37 his runs are irrelevant? Okay... But I agree CA is a mess...

Re Motor Mouth/Champion Pugilist, Aussie Vice captain ( great moral leader ), Davie Warner, his bat needs to do the talking. He averaged 63 in the Test Series against England, his average since - including T20's, One dayers and the series against South Africa has fallen to 37.9. He's averaging 37 in the test series against the Proteas. Shut up and make runs, you Bogan.

Jeff Crowe is a Kiwi as well...He's the one who let Mr BoganvilliaWarner - who has forgotten that he's in the team to make runs not verbal war - off for behaving like a drunk looking for a fight during the tea break.

Real he man stuff. You're better than that, Uncle...

He took about 4 pack marks that day, kicked them from anywhere. The full back was a Hawthorn player....

I saw him kick 6 goals in the first half against the Box Hill hawks last year. The boy has got it...

I ask the doubters, how long did it take for Hawkins, the current Don Daniher, Josh kennedy, Darcy Moore to come good???

If you're Italian you need a mirror anyway. Unions have been known to do very stupid things. My father always used to say it's because we inherited the British Trade Relations model where it's all about confrontation instead of co-operation. Go Dees. I mention Doug because I used to work with him at Tisdall in the early 80's. Doug is a keen Demon man...

All you need is a mirror. They must have them in Echuca. Do you know Doug Goldsworthy?

We already know that...

So you are just masquerading as a Bogan???/

you are truly a bogan... Anyway, his real name was post modern: ken handsell.

That made me laugh...

I wish something could put me to sleep when my wife snores like a full symphony orchestra.

Not trying to impress, young man, just responding to a question from Red and Bluebeard, by the sounds of it, the only other chap of culture on this site. ( Demonland is fast becoming Boganville! I am attempting to lead you bogans to the path of culture and beauty. )

It was written in the late 1920's. It's a Pagan Mass, if you like, it's full of passion and joy in life. It's exuberant like Verdi's Requiem is at times, nothing like Bach except in its sense of exhilaration, and, thankfully, nothing like Mahler's 8 which, to my ears is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The only decent music in it is the orchestral prelude to the Second Part. No, Janacek is more down to earth and passionate. There's really no-one to compare him to, you know. I suggest - if you have Spotify - to listen to it, or, there are performances on You Tube.

Maybe you'll be lucky enough to sing Janacek's Glagolitic Mass one day...

I'd rather go chopin...

Mahler Schmahler.

Ah, so you're a chorister, yes, no? Anyway, give me Bruckner any day. Or Bach, or Janacek. Now there vass a composer...

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.

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....

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

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.
