Bitter but optimistic

I have learnt the hard way Steve. If you want to conclude the day with conjugal relations - sit where the missus says!

Back at the Manor. It seems poor old Bitters remains unforgiven for his Yarra Valley excesses. The squeeze decided to cook curried chicken sausages. Seemed a bit strange but a message was being delivered. Your correspondent had to sit in the Manor's Michelin level kitchen and watch this being prepared. The symbolism was quite unsubtle. The sausages were boiled. The sausages were skinned with surgical precision. The sausages were chopped .... It's odd you know. The squeeze is more pizzed about the Yarra Valley fiasco than when I left her friends in Canberra after the Manuka Oval disaster. Maybe the fact that I passed out during the luxury accom part of the deal had something to do with it. As I said - I don't understand sheilas.

It certainly has its grand old moments dc.

For speculation about the Melbourne Football Club and its sons and daughters, the Apocalypse, is my preferred read.

Couple of points ..anus. 1. I "engaged" with the thread at post 70. When did you engage with the thread apart from "responding" to someone? 2. "9 times out of 10 " isn't a stat? FMD!!

Come on Stu - I want to call it a night. Surely a man of your AFL knowledge would have your sources at your fingertips. Don't keep me in suspense

Stuie would want to use those sneaky little Vicunas .

Don't be vulgar dc.

Not really Stu, just interested in where you sourced that play on stat from.

Stick to the bluerinsers dc - safe ground.

Interesting Stu! You point out that it is "shallow to judge Lumumba's influence just by stats" yet your rebuttal contains the stat that "H plays on 9 times out of 10". Not entering this debate, just interested Stu - what's your source for that play on stat?

To expiate my sins (both real and imagined) I shall give myself a jolly good flogging. I shall also administer one to The Devil is in the Detail (for unnecessary capitalization) I will also give that Ethan Trembay fellow one. PS .. Ethan shall be spared the rod if he is one of the unfortunates suffering from Salmonella at the Langham.

Uncle Bitter reporting in ferals. The squeeze and myself had a gift voucher for a Yarra Valley Winery tour. Used it yesterday - 4 wineries, Lunch and accomm. I can only remember the name of one of the wineries - St. Huberts - so that may indicate how the day degenerated. There was another couple on this tour. Never seen anything like it!! They were actually spitting wine out !!! cAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? Anyway good old Bitters laboured on and sloshed down anything put in front of him. I had a great day but still a tad worse for wear. The squeeze is rather silent on the matter. Can't understand sheilas sometimes.

Great minds dc!! Great minds!! I believe he had his eye on a cute young Jersey. Maybe he's in wedlock!

dc is a bit terse tonight HH. Obviously no social tennis or dinner dances so he is suffering from bluerinser withdrawal. He'll score in the next day or so and be a different bloke!

The lads spit and hawk with style dc - they do not guffaw!

You drooling over Caro HH?

FMD! Borewood has earned its name!

dc knows what he is talking about Hardtack. I understand he's suffered a number of injuries from digging his toes into the carpet.

You're doing banal beautifully R&B

Love your work Curry!! You still shagging that Hoogenboogan sheila?

Agreed!!

Fair comment Django - for the moment. But if Max continues his development and remains injury free , then he'll [censored] them all over the next year or so.

Jamar made an art form of this!!

You've met him Moon!! Biffen is drug [censored] beyond belief!! His reality is....... well I don't know what his reality is...???
