Bitter but optimistic

And FMD again!!!!!

FMD!!!

I'm going on Sunday - incognito of course- although I had planned on taking the Merc. How many of you other scumbags are going? Have you purchased your tickets?

Get rid of the cap and he looks a bit like me!

A very civilised idea ( if you are of the male aristocracy). Anyway doc who has the primae noctis rights in Hopping Dicks? I imagine that would be just one of many arcane rituals prevalent in your neck of the backwoods.

Well I have visited The Gat on occasion - purely business you understand - and as such business can be conducted elsewhere its sale will only impact on me for reasons of nostalgia. Biffen, however, as a resident of said establishment has not been the same since its sale was announced. If you wish to know more, I suggest you raise the subject (cautiously) with him.

Wouldn't think so Moon. One of Earl Hood's aristocratic background and breeding would insist on his maids being clean shaven, surely?

Agreed ProDee, [censored] him!

Thanks for the post Gorg! I remember him as a gutsy player who fought above his weight and it seems he's found that mojo again and given the black dog a whack!! Go Dees!!!

Well your pay is certainly reasonable Earl but does Conchita adhere to the ..err .. "appropriate" dress code for one of her station? As the for above "wines", you should be thankful they are gone from your collection. Fill the gaps with some decent shiraz.

Does accepting the penalty imply/ admit guilt? FMD - what exactly is the rule??

Robbie he aint ! Rethink that one Earl.

Late breaking news!!! Apparently Biffen did get found out and was arrested when leaving the family day at luna Park!

Yes, well you did say so yourself picket and nobody else did. Anyway, I cant\'t ( sorry that looks like deeluded's [censored]) have Pedo and Frost in the same side unless one of the backs is injured and he is down there.

SWYL, do you remember - I reckon Crackers Keenan was reported in his first game for Melbourne and got two weeks?

Have both your bails been removed Ethan?

Are you certain it's first class cricket Bobby and not just the hit and giggle stuff?

Arrgh, there's the rub, now I can see why you are a Dr Dr, and not just your standard garden variety alchemist. You have spanked the nail on the head!!! You see, my life is virtual reality - I think.

Our Max - more than just a pretty face.

WTF were you doing at a "family" day Biffen? Recruiting? Procuring? Selling? Must have been poor security!!

Special, I'm not going to let you travel in the Merc so get over it!!

I liked Pedo's effort and reckon he has given himself a good opportunity at a start against GWS. All a myth of course.

I take it this year's crop has survived bugs , bushfire and other maladies OD?

I am sure all will pleased that Uncle Bitter is able to post again. My computer has just returned from extended hospitalisation. It required some transplants plus a miracle cure for the technological equivalent of a combined Zika and Ebola virus. I suspect the lads have been using it to surf South American porn sites. I notice OD has been posting some remarkably positive comments on this site and can only put this down to a near death experience caused by a combination of single malt and free Pinot. The good Doctor also made a comment which I found perplexing - "The Hopping Dicks BDSM group assures me that they are no less effective than any other method and have the advantage of assisting in environmental control". I don't intend arguing the efficacy of bamboo and/or rattan but rather the very existence of The Hopping Dicks BDSM group. I have an up to date listing of official Australian groups and they do not appear. While it is possible they simply have not paid their affiliation fees, I think it more likely they are a small family owned and operated organisation rather than a rogue or outlaw group. As to Earl Hood and his Paul Osicka Shiraz 2012. Yes it is a decent Heathcote drop but you should have bar b qued the roo leg over a 44 gallon drum while sloshing it down from Riedel shaped plastic cups. (I will, however, give dc some credit for his advice about the quinoa salad - a pretentious addition in my opinion)

Just got my computer back from the virus clinic. Also only saw the last half. iMPRESSIONS - Garlett some great tackles and still has that magnificent speed. Kent showed a bit . Vanders my choice for a breakout , brokeout. Jack Viney FMD he is a unit. Gawn has found a tank. Hogan will [censored] over a lot of defenders. Like the look of WaGNER First impression of Kennedy is that he looks a player. And a smart one. Yes and young Oliver - tough little bastard.
