Bitter but optimistic

Missed that od! I backed him the other day and made a profit. A punter I'm not!

Test over! Series over! Kiwis WAP!

FMD !! Lun a [censored] ing tic!!

FMD song !! That is deep!!

You are a lunatic picket - no doubt about it!!

How dare you dc?? Hiram Abif would turn in his very geometric grave if we start disclosing masonic secrets on this site. Typo on Hiram's name

I was a "Sharpie". Well at least my haircut was. However, it didn't really matter_ I went to school in Clifton Hill and had to fight either the "Collingwood boys" or "The Fitzroy High Boys". Did all right too if the numbers were reasonably equal.

Thank you Earl - your sage advice is always appreciated. However, I must differ on one point. When attempting to minimise my taxation burden, I deal directly with my lawyers. I find that group far shiftier .... ,errr more, shall we say flexible. Although, as you can imagine, gains are to some extent offset by exorbitant fees of course!!

Just to add to many concerns you have Earl, I saw a fellow in Crazeyburn wearing a nicely styled North Fitzroy hipster man bun...... it matched his tatts rather well I thought. BTW I was just driving through in the Merc and observing poor people.

Christ Stu !! Give it a break!

[censored] me 'luded - what a pisser, can I use this line? ......somewhere "like soap scum on the shower glass, you can never really get it all out."

That's very funny Biffen. You are quite the cunning linguist at times.

You're messing with my head Dr.

Thanks ENYAW. About time we had a sensible post on this forum.

Probably. He wanted to have a drink with Biffen so he must be a weirdo.

Like yourself Jack, I know zilch about horses. However, I had a bet on Etymology in the Derby because of the James McDonald connection and made some money!.

Keep away from Earl Hood for a while SWYL!

Big call this early Adam!

I believe our good gentrified friend Earl Hood may have lapsed into deep depression. Mr Turnbull today announced that imperial honours were finito! The good Earl has been seen at the right places and pressing the right flesh (not in the way Biffen understands) in order to qualify for a gong. All in vain it seems. Hope he doesn't cast himself off the roof of the Stock Exchange.

I think you mean subjective Stu!

Jack Watts - always raises questions! I started off as a staunch supporter and them dropped away as Jack put in some soft hearted shockers. However, I have regained some warm and fuzzy for Jack because he has shown such tantalising glimpses of his abilities.He always seems to have time to make a decision (surely the sign of a top player) and disposes beautifully. However, he often disposes too quickly - hot potato style. I'd like to see him use his agility and pace to take the game on more. Best 22? At his best for sure. How often will he produce his best ? That is another question altogether.

That sounds like "Head of Accounting" or Head of Marketing". Your meaning may have been more clear had you said something like, "has full responsibility". As usual, just trying to help you out Snitch.

Then it's pointless continuing.

Are you suggesting that Dlanders are such crass individuals that they would stoop to imbibing alcohol at a [censored] bar?
