Bitter but optimistic

Apart from supporting Hawthorn, this apt description could also apply to Robbo of Hun journalistic fame. Also. Re the finals prediction. As I recall everyone thought Glenn McGrath was a dick the first time he made a 5 nil series prediction against England.

I try to emulate Elagabalus dc - it's not a temporary condition. A bit like your good self with the blue rinsers I suspect.

It's only a temporary aberration while I endure this Febast foolishness and show Jizza up!

Sorry, I forgot Jizz, the purveyors of fine wine that I patronise frown on customers arriving in gumboots. BTW. I was having a post dinner cordial with a friend last night while he was sucking joyously on a ciggy. It's really that after dinner smoke that is most enjoyable - almost sensuous. You understand I'm sure Jizz.

Any mention of a possible training centre and membership focus in the Romsey area?

Despite your snide shot about the Romsey show I'll try it dc. How do you serve this stuff? It's not only available in Borewood is it ?

Big Mouth Shiraz

Where are you Jizz? Not sneaking a puff behind the milking shed I hope!! I've changed my beverage of choice to Bickfords diet lime and soda - still appalling. A further sad irony is that two of my usual wine suppliers rang last night with special deals. The gasp at the other end of the line when I told them I was participating in Febfast did at least give me a laugh

I am I hallucinating because I'm off the grog? Lumumba is not that big surely!!

I'm glad Cross has been recognized for what he is - one who leads by example.

Thank you Earl Hood, you are a true sport. You mention toasts. Given that I am currently an abstainer, might I seek your advice as to the proper libation when toasting Her Majesty at the club?

Dirty tactics eh Jizz? You've dragged the Fl og out of retirement just to drive me to the bottle!

Uncle Bitter my neighbours are doing Febfast and swear that the key is to drink soda water or mineral water from a wine glass and close your eyes. Most of your senses are satisfied, except taste of course. Who knows, you might even become a teetotaller out of this. Thanks for the useless advice Loonie. It's not about taste - it's about the alcohol coursing through the system!

We are all slipping into our dotage due to the shock of positive posts about MFC!!,

As I sit here slurping on a Bickfords Cloudy Apple cordial and soda water I ask myself what moment of temporary insanity allowed me to sign up (And pay money!!) to join this "Febfast foolishness". A month without the tender caress of a fruity Shizaz! FMD what an imbecile I am. No competition either. I reckon Jizz will go up in a puff of smoke within a day or two. Dairy farmers have (read appendage disadvantage) and are unable to match with the real heroes of the land.

I'm going to take you down Jizz!

Ok you're on softy. May the beast farmer win!!!

All of the above dc. However when the tough times come ( ie the paper is late, the toilet blocks, Biffen tries to cadge a free lunch) that's when the real Alpaca farmers stand up!!!

I have learnt through bitter experience not to "go early" on Melbourne I will hold my powder!!

The "lads" signed me up for Febfast - no grog for a month! (I suspect my GP may have put them up to it) . I have had no such abstinence for about 50 years - a significant number hereabouts. Any thought I'd mention this to show Jizza what real 2 balled farmers can achieve. Want to go head to head with me Jizz? My booze for your fags ( tobacco variety) Anyway aim to inhale a couple of shiraz tonight

Flower and Stynes are icons, could they be highlighted even more? Roos and Jones would do me as representing the current team. PS. Feel free to post my pic as a way of attracting more readers and members to Dland.

Wannabes like Clit and Jizz passing judgement on their social and intellectual superior. That is the result of letting anyone vote.

It is a gross miscarriage of justice that you received no further honors Earl Hood while Phill the Greek adds another one to his extensive list Some blots on your (how shall I put it delicately) escutcheon appear to have become public! Perhaps the servants are blabbing?

I was having an aus day drink of coopers and was told this was a " Hipster" choice of libation. Does this make me a hipster? What is a hipster?

Always a tad testy at two Ethan?
