  1. Bitter you have such je ne sais quoi !
  2. You have a few fans on this site Biff.
  3. Comrade Earl, my mind is not what it was particularly at the end of the night after a few banana smoothies. You never did reply to my question about guava paste but I can't remember what the question was. We will have to meet again to rehash our discussions on socialism. There are still opportunities for creative entrepreneurship and market rigging in a socialist world. My special interest at the moment is Bernie Sanders who I think has the wisdom of old age. I think that he would understand this conversation.
  4. My gosh, a proud rather prickly pervert!
  5. Bitters, a little more respect please. I might be a drunk, a depressive, unlikable and indeed dead but don't call me sanctimonious or link my name to the occupation of lawyer. That is really putting the boot into my dry old bones. However I transgress. Can you explain this cryptic comment. What is redtube? Remember I am a literary man and your comments often leave me puzzled. I can speak several languages and know the idiom of many countries. Is this a joke? I'm guessing it's something to whet the appetite before the main course. A new cocktail or Spanish tapas? Your comments and writing style do make me think that there is more to you than your neutral gender photo suggests. As an old fashioned chap I am not to sure about abbreviations such as LGBTI. In my day women were women, men were men, and there were bachelors. But getting back to my question, what is redtube? Am I missing out on something?

  7. Beautifully written. I suspect you are my old love Bram Stoker, my old love (in literary terms of course).
  8. My god you all need to be locked up or have your medication doubled. I thought I was in a bad state but you all make me feel a lot better about myself although there is some connection with such a crazy bunch of people. A fictional existence I guess.
  9. You had me on board Earl until your sympatico with that cuddly old uncle Georgie Pell. You are better than that. That aside I am looking forward to the guava paste developments given its likely multitude of uses. I suspect it could be very beneficial for my gastrointestinal tract which has been giving me hell. I am looking for an alternative remedy to my regular ingestion of hard liquor.
  10. Bub, I think he was a prospective new employee that was selected without a full reference check and a decision was made to select him against the better judgement of those that had closely followed a saga called Essendope. But there again we have a coach....no better stop there.....it gets worse. Shush we had better not go there because after all he did not take the field but rather as a coach set an example that the players felt they should follow. That's what I call leadership. But God almighty where was the wise counsel at the MFC? Oh, I forgot, we are only talking about a footy club not an organisation set up to ensure the maintenance of ethical standards!
  11. The filter feeders of the football media have a story to create and run. With the promise of more frenzied feeding over the season.
  12. Bub you are sounding remarkably philosophical. End of a busy day or fatigued by Essendope ? This is not the Beezle that I have got to know, respect and kind of love in a kind of masculine way. Mate, I think you need a break from Land if you are going to post this philosophical stuff. Get back to the Swiss adventure where you are at your analytical surgical best. It's where you do your best work and where I look forward to your well informed and savage critiques.
  13. I hope to see the development of our list as a whole particularly our young but still only potential guns. It is all about the team not the individual despite the focus on Hogan. Like all supporters I want Hogan to stay but not at all cost. The club has to develop a team and manage its list and contracts/remuneration in a sensible and professional manner. It's not much point having a gun like Jesse if we lose our midfield because of salary issues resulting from overcompensating one player. It's why team success is so important over the next 2 years. If we have success if will all work out.
  14. This is the first time I have laughed today my son.
  15. I don't even know you BBO but I seem to know you to well. It is quite bizarre.
  16. It's the feeling bit that worries me BBO.
  17. The Christian Bros that explains a lot about your behaviour or to be more diplomatic BBO your eccentricities! Perhaps marriage guidance counselling may be a little dangerous, not for you of course but those upon whom you inflict your advice and treatment.
  18. Don't worry let it be turned into apartments so that when the bubble bursts and the property market truly crashes in this banana republic we live in and the greed stops, those that live life differently free from material desires which includes the rich tapestry of life that inhabits The Gat. will inherit the vacant apartments.
  19. So I'll throw out your books along with Hunter S,William Boroughs,Kerouac,Miller,Mailer and any other decent American writer from last century. Don't worry about the meek-they'll inherit the earth later.
  20. Milo would be proud of you Earl.
  21. Sorry Old Dee I missed your reference to the LNP. Also look out for Cory Bernardi and his conservative revolution!
  22. I suspect that Comrade Earl would deal with anyone. Indeed in my experience, Commos are an honourable lot compared to their capitalist counterparts. Earl's behaviour has the touch of Milo Minderbender. Our very own Milo on this site. I am looking forward to hearing of further outrageous trades involving Earl or Milo.
  23. They may be morally bankrupt but Gill and his henchmen are laughing all the way to the bank. His salary is prodigious. Unfortunately in this capitalist dog eat dog world capacity to earn has nothing to do with worth. I much prefer those simple souls who earn a lot less but are actually helping others. I do not include writers who are self absorbed and neurotic with a tendency toward addiction.
  24. Absolutely, I can't think of a more open, transparent or values driven organization that leads by example. The role model sporting organization for the sporting world. Even WADA is now taking note and may even revise protocols to deal with other organizations like the AFL Gil and his staffers have contributed in such a way that they will never be forgotten. However, their career path may have plateaued! They may have future careers in the values driven world of sports media.
  25. curry and beer?
