  1. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Quicker the better.
  3. Thought I was doing it wrong.
  4. Couldn't use it being chained up.
  5. Unfortunately.
  6. Has there ever been a worse film?
  7. He is not only a clearance machine, he is tough both physically and mentally.
  8. Well the context was usually poured from paper cups, or refilled beer cans. Charming. Most dangerous place at the ground was the visitors' race, where as Team Manager in 1979 under Big Carl, I was warned to not stand there watching the game.
  9. Beg to differ, BBO, spit while disgusting, is possibly preferable to urine.
  10. Speaking about revolting peasants, that reminds me of the masses of them at Victoria Park, in the good old days. Worse than revolting.
  11. I am back guys, from my short sojourn. Let the bananas be smooth and not split. Unluckiest person of her day was Marie Antoinette, who lost her head for allegedly saying about the poor, who were starving, let them eat cake. Actually she said let them eat banana bread and it was the media of the day who got her guillotined unfairly. She was not even allowed to appeal to the AFL tribunal.
  12. Guilty. Mea Culpa.
  13. Surely this will be investigated by the AFL as it is miles worse than our tanking. If true they win a premiership while cheating the salary cap. Surely the premiership will now be given to the runner up. Who was that?
  14. As I said you have to have a winnable cause of action or you could get your claim summariably dismissed on an application to dismiss.
  15. If he cannot show a proper cause of action that is winnable, his case can be thrown out on a summary application to the Court. You can summons the Defendants to give evidence but if you do, unless you can get them declared hostile witnesses, you are restricted in the way you ask them questions. For example you lose the right to cross examine them and you can't ask leading questions. The Defendant's own Counsel can then cross examine his own client/witness and get far more evidence in than otherwise. The right to refuse questions that may self incriminate is in criminal cases. The Plaintiff must prove their case and if not you can submit at the end of their case that there is no case to answer. If the Court agrees it is over.
  16. Not happy "Jan".
  17. Yes, he was a funny guy. I just had this memory of his funny saying/catchphrase and I couldn't recall where I had heard it.
  18. That's what I thought.
  19. Tried to book an appointment last time I was in his neighbourhood and was shocked to learn he wasn't seeing anyone anymore mainly because he died 78 years ago.
  20. Think I found something. The first time a good friend of mine saw “Professor” Stanley Unwin”, the peerless purveyor of mangled mumbo-jumbo known as Unwinese, he was a little thrown. It was a quiet night in, just us two, the TV & a nice bag of magic mushrooms. Was this craziness his own psilocybin twisted perception or
well, what was this ? Carl was born too late to have heard or seen Stanley’s TV & radio appearances. He had missed out too on the long summer holiday of 1968 when our teenaged gang of four wondered at the circular sleeve (how mad was that !) and delighted in the Cockney Psychedelia of the Small Faces’ LP “Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake”. It was #1 on the charts for 6 weeks & Stanley Unwin was a pop star. So, “are you sitting comftybold two-square on your botty? Then we’ll begin.”
  21. Speaking of bums. Can any of you guys recall where this silly saying came from, " are you all sitting two square on your botty"? It was either a TV show or radio show many years ago, when I was a kid. I think it was an Englishman that said it and it was repeated many times in the show.
  22. Warning, don't light a banana at the beach, you could get "smoke on the water".
  23. The banana smoothie is an accepted leader in the smoothie genre, but the banana milkshake lags well below chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in the milkshake department. As Professor Julius Sumner miller used to say on TV some years ago, " why is it so"?
  24. And you watched every other player in the AFL as well?
