well i've never ever worked under any scheme of being paid for accumulated sick leave, moonie. seems wrong to me and it's nothing to do with health unless you mean getting paid for good health

how do you accumulate sick leave, moonie? does that accumulate every time you go to work with the flu rather than staying at home?

is that some new synthetic version of LSD, bitters?

didn't someone remind you that term 1 has already started?

not sure it was voluntary in those days, choke

sorry earl, but if i told you i'd have to kill you. i'm sure your good understanding of er such delicate matters will explain my reluctance and as you know i naturally shun any publicity for my good deeds, unlike a certain shane .....

you eat millions of tonnes of bananas in a year, earl? well not good enough. i eat trillions of tonnes in just a week!

some interesting banana facts Country Millions of tonnes Percentage of world total Table 1: Production (2012) India 24.9 18% China 10.6 8% Uganda 9.8 7% Philippines 9.2 7% Ecuador 7.6 5% Brazil 6.9 5% Indonesia 6.2 4% Colombia 5.3 4% Cameroon 4.9 3% Ghana 3.6 3% All other countries 50.2 36% Total world 139.2 100% Table 2: Exports (2011) Ecuador 5.2 29% Costa Rica 1.8 10% Colombia 1.8 10% Philippines 1.6 9% Guatemala 1.5 8% All other countries 6.0 34% Total world 17.9 100%

i'm sure the wig makers guild of america might see it differently, eh?

you wan't scary, earl, just wait till donald trump runs the world if we could survive scary kevin707 (and his own party called him worse) i think ol' barnaby wouldn't be too scary

well he is a country member no doubt all our many country members on dl will rejoyce

i think the local citizen's militia might have a strong "opinion" on that, bitters, if you were to try

that's maisie?

i think we are only absent on the former, redleg anyway the afl are yet to (publicly) decide on whether suspended players can be paid and if so, how much stay tuned

or you could argue an extra 54 (3x18) as all 18 get benched at each quarter break either way, i think it is meaningless

yeah, nah changes at the qtr break are almost meaningless especially at 1/2 time the qtr break is effectively an interchange break in itself for all players and longer than the average interchange bench time

doubt he'd take them home, red, more likely a cheap motel

good catch, moonie. i wondered where biffo had disappeared to.

they told you that white powder was dried guava paste? i'd get it tested (or disposed of) before the feds come knocking on your door

would that be the filipino maid well known for her skills in asphyxiophilia. maybe you should warn the tradey (assuming he hasn't finished your job yet)

lol stuie. i'll just let you and et dig that hole a little deeper. no more info for now

it was reported a while back that the afl are considering this and if allowed, how much. also who should play suspended players at other clubs if payment allowed as is typical afl, nothing publicly stated since nor has tame media raised it lately

i'm sure they did consider all possibilities......and came to the conclusion that a couple of weeks was "worst case" because...............that is what was stated

i suppose that is why a club official at the agm, when asked this, said "at worst" we would expect he would only be unavailable for a few weeks but if you want to believe they were prepared for a one season suspension, then go ahead,

it's purely up to each club, and of course the player involved this started with essendon who said they would offer an extra year on the contract to their players. so far i don't know if any or how many players have taken up the offer. in essendon's case it is more about trying to compensate players and encourage them not to leave the club as dfas or trades (which is likely at least for some) can't see mfc offering melksham an extra year at this stage. would be smarter and prudent to see what condition he comes back in sept and how he performs in 2017 season. but you never know
