I loved the guernsey they had made for the Shanghai clash against Brisbane. I managed to snag Matt Warnock’s #1 jumper (photos are from Google search) in a club auction. I also loved the green St Pats jumper for the Jim Stynes game… again I snagged one in a club auction, this time it was Liam Jurrah’s!

I was a late starter in the parenting stakes, and used to tell my sons that they were extra blessed, because they got a father AND a grandfather all rolled into one!

who is that? David Bridie from My Friend the Chocolate Cake did a superb version, but that sounds a bit polished to be him.

And covered by some band called Los Romeos Oxidados.

Lumpy Gravy in the Middle of the Road.

I had a CD that I can no longer find, that was a sampler that included Elvis Costello’s cover of the old Leon Payne song, ‘Psycho’…but it also had a great Loudon Wainwright song called ‘Colors’, the subject matter of it being the different colours of the dogsh!t on the streets of his town.

It was!

I’ve always called them ‘trough lollies’.

So, rather appropriately for this time of the year, he had him away in a manger.

After watching Bill Bailey’s Vietnam on SBS, I remembered that the BBL was back and so switched over just in time to catch the last 4 overs of the Renegades’ innings. I was surprised to see Afridi bowling for the Heat…well, perhaps ‘bowling’ is a poor word choice, as in his third over, he bowled three no balls (a total of 8 runs), was hit for a six and was eventually dragged by the umpire for bowling two balls above waist height in the one over, with his final figures being 0-43 off 2.4 overs.

Thanks Deezone, just another brain fart, of which I seem to be doing too often of late.

Is it just me that finds it weird that a team of young guys would give Xavier that nickname? I am assuming it comes from the country singer ‘Reg Lindsay’, and I would have thought you’d need to be mine or @old dee ’s age to think that one up!

Wow! I know he’s got pace and stamina to burn, but Sharp is covering BOTH wings? Edit: I post what I thought was a really clever/humerous post, then go back to continue reading, and guess what… @Lil_red_fire_engine goes all pre-crime on me 🤣
