Correct grasshopper.

That would rule out all banana conversations. Not sure that would be acceptable to the readership.

Always open to suggestions.

Doubt it, it would make you believe you can do things, rather than destroy your belief, as seems to have happened.

I am told people smoke that and get a yellow high.

That would be right , wet banana cake.

It's a changing world Old Dee. When a man has to throw out his banana smoothie, what is left in life. Don't answer " the container".

Anything happening today? Briefed nominated for Flemington saturday. Bought a banana smoothie for lunch and as is my luck lately, threw it out after a few sips. Bloody ordinary. How do you stuff up a banana smoothie?

i am feeling like Old Dee at the moment, waiting for the game on TV and not really caring less. Expecting to see another thrashing and the beginning of another week or rubbishing or pity from my mates. The usual scenario is that we lose a good player early in the game and players back in the side, or down on form for the opposition, star. Therefore I predict great games for Buddy, Hale and Birchall.

Better than most footy journos. The book is full of facts unlike most footy articles. It also doesn't call for half of the participants in racing to resign or be sacked.

$35-$40k, are you getting all your teeth replaced with gold dentures?

Happy to come now. Let me get my row boat out, the streets are flooded. Where do I row to? Anyway, I can now finish reading my copy of the the Black Caviar story, which I am half way through.

Money refunded. You didn't lose.

There goes the banana cake, meeting abandoned.

This sums up my sporting life at the moment..........meeting abandoned due to heavy track.

My grand daughters also arrive in about an hour for friday dinner with Nana and Pop. I am off to Sandown tomorrow to see my horse Briefed hopefully win the 7th race. Can't bring myself to go to the footy until there is some change or we play a non top four side.

I can hear the arteries closing up.

For those interested, Briefed is running in Race 7 at Sandown Saturday. He likes it wet and more rain is predicted.

Sounds good to me.

Vodka, Baccardi, Kahlua, Baileys,Tia Maria.

For what it is worth I will share this piece of useless info, I have never had a full shot of scotch, cognac, brandy or a full glass of champagne. I have only tried them and disliked them and never repeated the exercise.

Have you tried other spirits?

Saw the last round of 1997 between us and Freo on Fox Footy the other day and we belted them. We had a crap season and they were going for the finals. Look at the two clubs now, it's so sad.

I have never done this before, but on sunday, after about the first 20 minutes of the game, I fast forwarded to half time, watched a bit of the third quarter and then deleted the game, including the last quarter. It is deplorable that any enjoyment of football has been taken from us.

I am only the messenger.
