From the vault
Me, too. With a diehard MCC mate, who happily joined me high in the Southern Stand for that second half. Funny; my memory is of staring into the sun, but it seems quite dull in the footage. Davey's goal: iconic. Wonna's 'frogs' - ditto. Moloney and McLean: Petracca and Oliver on their day (too few and far between). Miller: some ripper games (ditto). The song: rousing (ditto-ditto).

...and the page's worth that followed... I did try. Though perhaps the prompt return to bananas was an unconscious(?) response to my 'wing and wang'?... https://www.google.com/search?q=austin+powers+giant+wang&oq=austin+powers+it's+a+giant&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0i22i30j0i22i30i625l3.22123j1j4&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:816693d4,vid:K1JgMxRm--0

Happy Birthday Ron Barassi - 87 today
And the collar. And the woolliness. It's quite palpable, the feeling of my childhood this photo briefly gave me. 'Twinkletoes' himself (my mother's name for him), the colour and 'feel' of the jumper particularly, and the sense of the 'simple', winter VFL as was. Memory's tricks say my Gran's bulky hand-knit (envy of the possessors of the 'real'!) had a '31' on it (plastic? felt?) I certainly drew lots of action pics with my Derwent pencils of Number 31, and his teammates, flying over hapless oppositions, particularly my parents' adopted underdog Hawks in the '50s (good times!) Thanks for it all, Ron. Keep on Twinkling!

MFC Family Day: Saturday 25th February 2023
Snapped up a Kaboodle Kauldron at your Snag Rivals, Bunnings, just yesterday, WCW. Though have been trying to follow graphic-rich, word-free instructions to attach legs ever since. Allen key, tossed angrily, defying recovery.

I am, BA! I like that thought, but I'll have to spring it on our little coterie unawares. Or devilishly disguise it, perhaps...mwah ha ha ha!

Congratulations on what eventually proved to be quite an accessible quiz, WH! The '3 links' was an interesting twist. And congrats to all participants, whichever of Grade (me*), District (@Bombay Airconditioning), State (@WalkingCivilWar) or Test (your winners) level they reached. * I have taken some very minor comfort from having understood that 'relatively' was a clue of the effect you intended.

Refer to puzzle threads. Says it all, really. And not particularly flatteringly... Anyways... One second chance implies a first chance; thus a group of two. A second second chance implies a second first chance; thus a second group of two, and four chances in all - two plus two. A second second-second chance (in its group of four - see above) implies a first second-second chance (in its group of four); thus a second group of four, and eight chances in all - four plus four - of which the second second second chance is number 8. Or, in other words, two cubed. Glad you asked? Oh, wait, you didn't... 😬

What do I have to do to get such largesse, from you and @Witches Hat? And you flatter me with your desire to best me. Recent performance warrants it not!

Gold and silver to @tilly18 in the last two events! Building a reputation! And that @mo64, eh? Very solid over the journey. I've just returned after my initial post and the subsequent wasted hour or so. None the wiser. Shall now sleep (nightmare?) on it...

I'd bet @Demonstone would want no apology and rather (like me) would welcome the continuing growth in this nerdy D'Land sub-culture! Now, 'three parts to the answer' you say? I hear the sound of new ground breaking...
