Bitter but optimistic

Cuts in assistant coaches and other ancillary staff will also increase the scrutiny on the Senior Coach ..... mmmm!

Once again you have it all wrong DF! In fact, those who consider themselves “respectable society “ tend to distance themselves from the likes of Biffen and my good self! ( In the matter of @Biffen there is good reason for this) I am misunderstood. Which brings me to the interesting case of one @Moonshadow . Quite a cad ! Total sleaze bag hiding behind inner urban greenie credentials! The stories I could tell!!! BTW Flogger congrats on your recovery!!!

Liam Jurrah ... what could have been! Can’t help thinking his name would have been on that best/ favourite thread if things had turned out differently

Me neither- not a clue

I wondered how long it would take for him to come out from under his rock I haven’t seen his comments but I’m confident in saying I won’t be surprised by his lack of class

The leaking of those photos is a terrible betrayal of trust The offender must be brought to account

Normal method of dropping the kids where I used to teach!

Bah ! Corona, corolla - it’s all Korean to me I’m still waiting for the boffins to discover a cure for tinea

Thanks for the research George! I don’t think that is the game. I reckon I would have remembered Redpath’s involvement as he was a favourite player Off course Shiraz abuse over the years does dull the memory

I remember Watson guiding Victoria to a Shield victory in the 60’s (?) I think The Vics required close to 100 runs on the last morning and were 8 or 9 wickets down I don’t remember the opposition but Watson got most of the runs and the win Anyone else remember this?

I can live without Tatts and piercings Moonie, however, there are certain other businesses that provide .... err .... more personal services that I miss This dam corolla virus thing is most inconvenient

Bah! Negativity as usual Biffen Well, I’ll have you know that we have very high standards of hygiene at The Manor and my underwear is laundered at least once a fortnight! Whether it needs it or not!

Not only that Moonie but leather is very durable My doeskin underwear has lasted for years

An article in today’s “Rage” made note of police raiding a party in Romsey Well I wish to clear the air before any scandal mongers start pointing nasturtiums at your good old innocent Uncle Bitter Firstly, it wasn’t a party at all. I mean who calls a gathering of 50 or so like minded friends a”party “ ? Secondly. Everyone was being quite responsible and keeping a good whip length apart Clearly all just a minor misunderstanding PS If one of my good lawyer friends on this site could see their way to a little pro bono work please contact me ( metaphorically that is) at The Manor

Glaring omission!!!! Diamond Jim ..... built like Tarzan , but , ..... well there’s another story. The

Frequent hand washing is a prudent precaution for you Moonie - given your ... err ... habits

Arrh yes , “Doc” Roet and “Wrecker” Leahy - good memories!

Yes I remember him as a good reliable player Played half back and wore number 11 if I recall correctly

I payed mine, as usual, with the automatic rollover back in October(?) so it is well and truly financial history for me. However, as dc rightly says above, everyone will have different circumstances.

Well thank you for publicising my business Moonie !!! However, it seems my literary style is as popular as ever. All these lovely ladies are proclaiming their love for me after a single communication ! Just wait until I forward a selfie

A complex character. On one hand he took his life from the penthouse to the ****ehouse . Yet while he was at at Richmond he was a terrific support to a young man of my acquaintance who was suffering from severe mental problems

If private ownership became a reality that would end my interest in football

You’re a bit testy Red. Our good Earl Hood was merely being humorous

“ Stand down the maid “ ! Don’t be silly Ernie. Who else is going to massage my tinnea ? In fact, I am considering expanding the hired help at The Manor I am currently searching for a butler. Something new - after all, I’ve never been buttled before.

As you know Ernie, I’m not one to cast nasturtiums but your good self and @Moonshadow appear to be sharing a rather peculiar fixation!!
