Bitter but optimistic

Well lads , being of modest disposition, i hate to brag but I'm currently luxuriating in a 5 plus star resort near DaNang. The only thing football like is the pool which is about the size of the MCG. The pool itself runs down to the beach but the walk is a little too taxing for me. Solution. So I feign a disability and have a couple of the servants wheel me down. With a fan , umbrella and constant supply of the local brew. I would have fitted in well to the colonial period.

Message bank full? That must be posters trying to abuse you! Not popularity surely?

I'm telling everyone I'm a dairy farmer jazz

Greetings from Hanoi - no live footy here (except that Sheila's game) hot as .... . Two stories - my demons shirt attracted offers from a couple of local vendors - maybe they reckoned on cutting several local size shirts out of it. Entered a temple from the heat - I was lathered in sweat and no doubt florid. A little girl (5 or 6) looked at me and huddled close to her mum. I must have looked like some sort of ogre. I pulled a face at her and she started to cry - highlight of the day.

No Moonie, you pervert - simply trying to add to my knowledge on a variety of subjects. Your answer to (1) suggests very poor manners on your part Jazz!

I have 2 questions about protocols, or normative behaviour for dairy farmers, if you don't mind Jazz. When one approaches Blossom or Mary or whichever of your "girls" takes your fancy at that particular moment, is it good manners to politely ask before going for said teat. Second, given that the "girls" are blessed with four teats, is there any preference or accepted order in this matter?

Fair weather supporters would be accurate.

Great minds wyl! I'm heading to Vietnam to enjoy some tropical sun at the end of this week. The "lads" will be looking after the estate in my absence!

Beware, the bluerinsers may have a counter claim DC!

FMD. I made one of my usual off hand posts that was in fact (a) laughing at myself and (b) highlighting the fact the bull .. shite on a forum like this is hardly exceptional. You, apparently, totally misconstrued my intent. Lesson - I shall dumb my posts down even further - if that is possible. However, Chooka, please ignore that and just answer one simple question for me. When, at parties or other social gatherings, and people say something you do not understand is your standard answer, "I like Pink Floyd's The Wall as much as anyone" ?

Yes there is Chook,and that is one, apparently like yourself, who is fated to wallow within a beige vision of the world and who has no sense of joy at the wonderful absurdity that surrounds us.

Who are these tryhards vying for my title of master bull.... shiter? Bring it on!! I'll show you bull shite and bollocks and gross exaggerations!

Kick a filth supporter when he is down Jane. Now is the moment for that kick in the balls! Carpe Diem

Nothing like a little healthy revisionism Jack!The real issue is that we'll have to find a few more stars and change the guernsey.

I also watched it and agree with your assessment. The standard is a long way below AFL yet there are no stand outs. Some talk of Blease above, but I didn't see him do anything that separated him from the pack. Gawn did a few things but certainly was not a dominant big man. JKH looked a VFL player. Tapscott ordinary. Not impressed at all.

RL ,you are assuming that WJ would meet the very strict criteria for entry to the GAT!

You should have kicked him in the balls. That would have - (a) Certainly shown your displeasure at his flippant comment. (b) Established your authority for all time.

And I'm twice your IQ!!!

Your point is?

That's the spirit dc!!

Hey why don't you guys wait until Maple Demon comes online and invite her. Might give you some respectability. I suppose Biff could bring a couple of scrubbers, in case Dc's blue rinsers start to nod off before half time.

DC is easy to pick Jazz. He'll have a group of wrinkly, blue haired old sheilas hanging off his ... ( er) .... . Well I'm sure you get the picture.

Well a ring is often involved Red.

Nah we're not talking about a sheep or beef man here. This is a bloody milk cockie! Gummys for sure.

You forget to mention the gumboots Jazz!
