Bitter but optimistic

Surely Earl Hood, your circumstances are not so reduced that you cannot afford a new cook?

As always - love your work 'luded!

We all know that my old mate 'luded is a nut case - so don't worry about it!

That's the spirit!!

Very funny Fl ogg er!! As a reward, I shall be kind to you for the rest of today.

A bit left field, I would have thought Ben.

Just to satisfy my adventurous spirit, I've spent about the last hour ( while preparing a sumptuous meal) listening to SEN. FMD. I am dumber for the experience. Never again. However it did provide a good excuse to get back on the grog after a 2 week health hiatus.

Where have you been picket? Missed your "visceral" insights!

Sad old bastard.

That's what I'd expect from a headless eerrr ... well .... er ..chook!

Yes - I can do a very good "Chicken Little"!

It's a Breville, but otherwise and in all modesty, I agree with you Red.

You have over simplified SWYL's comment Stu. He points out that we have the talent etc but it needs to be combined with the right attitude. Imagine Col Sylvia with Jordie 's attitude.

No shame in that pineapple - I'm a better man than most. Just imagine if I started one of those tweetering accounts!! Lord only knows how many followers I'd attract!!

No! I think we should panic just in case.

Well.... there is one thing OD and repairing the coffee machine has vastly improved the likelihood of that occurring!!! (there are however, no certainties)

Have you lost your marbles Red!! A fellow could get a jolly good flogging for getting out of step as it were. In any event, my stocks are very high atm!! Good old bitters the handyman managed to repair the squeeze's precious coffee machine!

The first of many victims.

If Crowley is currently best 22 for us then we are still [censored]!!

It is very difficult for a big guy to add bulk while maintaining running ability. Hogan at 100kg would be scary. Makes me think of Lockett. Defenders used to [censored] themselves (rightly so) at the sound of his footsteps. I think Hogan has enough mongrel in to become this sort of figure.

I've been off the vino for a couple of weeks - one of my irregular health breaks. If it wasn't for that I'd reckon I was hallucinating! Curry and Stu and Wise all agreeing and OD and Dr Hopping Dick adding likes!!! Back to the grog for me. EDIT. Stu's above post returned a semblance of reality.

Yes ..well thank you Red. However, at the moment I realize that it is my credit card I need to keep a better grip on. The squeeze just announced she has booked a weekend in Cantberra for us. Apparently there is a display of pictures by some fellow Robert or Roberts who draws sheep and shearing sheds!! FMD. I hope it's not Special Robert!!

I don't get it from a football perspective. The guy is in his 30's and hasn't played much footy over the last couple of years. You'd reckon Essendrug would try and get something out of this [censored] up and set out to find some blokes who might have a future

I reckon he's digging another hole for himself.
