Redleg

Not that I want to start any of the boys gambling, but Jack Watts is the celebrity tipster in the Sun and is doing really well. He tipped a winner again in the Moonee Valley Cup winner and is killing the opposition.

Attended the Cox Plate and privileged to see a fair filly called Black Caviar. Never seen that many in the stands for any race there other than the Cox Plate. When she won the noise was deafening. Ran into the Governor of Victoria who not only was at the Bar with me but lectured me in Equity in my student days. He said he remembered from both, think he was just being polite. Spoke to the owner of Americain the Moonee Valley Cup winner and last years Melbourne Cup winner who told that the horse wasn't even fully fit. He was impressive and when fully fit could make it back to back Melbourne Cups. Manawanui looks to have a mortgage on the Derby next week. Great day.

Not to mention Over Under Sideways Down, Shapes of Things and Heart Full of Soul. Used to play in a band in my teens and we played and I sang these songs. Ah memories.

The Groove played one of their first gigs at lunchtime, at my old school Melbourne High, with me in the front row.

You would love it if you were sharing the royalties One of the biggest sellers of all time..

Finished last night with some Creedence and imagined myself on the Bayou. What a great singer, songwriter, guitarist John Fogerty is.

From he who thinks Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan were rock stars.

Now Reel Life - Send Me an Angel. I'll be singing the songs all day tomorrow.

Absolutely. Add, Promises- Baby Its You and keep your eyes off the boys sister,

While reading Demonland tonight I have heard Bee Gees - Love You Inside and Out, Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music , Dont Speak French - Girls Aloud ( love that clip) and now Crabby Appleton - Go Back. I have varied taste and love a lot of music styles. Hate rap.

Another good oldie, California My Way by the Aussie group Iguana. Flip side was also a great track Mary Go Round.

Yes and she still is. Married with kids.

Funny you mention him, his sister is a friend of mine.

"I belong with you", great song.

You can see them on you tube if you are feeling nostalgic.

Bit of trivia for you. The Homecombs drummer was a girl and her brother was the lead singer. Very few great female drummers over the years. The best IMO was Cindy Blackman in Lenny Kravitz's band who was the driving force behind " are you gonna go my way". She could really pound the skins.

I can see someone changing the name of the thread to the Not the Draft Thread. Don't want to give my age away, but while on Demonland, I have 70's Disco Hits on You Tube in the background. I am bouncing around on the chair and can hardly type straight. Wonder if I have any flairs in the cupboard, platform shoes and a bright shirt.

Losing our first pick in the draft is going to make guessing who we might get impossible.

I have been carrying on since I started it.

I see some unauthorised tampering with the title of the thread has taken place. This should not happen to the most popular thread on the site with now 767 posts and nearly 22000 views. Too much power in the hands of too few.

Now you are talking.

Yes take it back a notch.

Must have been a fruit shop.

After those jokes I am back off to the trading threads to see all of the trades we have done this week.

Speaking of Bananas, Mrs Redleg wanted to share a banana smoothie for lunch and I declined saying we had not traded anyone and there was nothing to celebrate. Skinny Latte was the substitute. Hope we don't miss out on too many more players or the title of the thread will be too big for Demonland.
