Bitter but optimistic

We Romsey sophisticates do not flaunt our lavish lifestyle dc -it unsettles the peasants.

still recovering from a night of excess in borewood dc ?

The monicker "Stiffy" (over) qualifies you to become a contributor.

Of course - I am not an inconsiderate man ! The Manor's carpet layer leaves his used knee pads behind.

Nothing so ostentatious at The Manor John - just a simple $100 or so dollar Riedal glass . Which , naturally, I smash into the fireplace. ( Keeps the maid alert)

I consider my posts to be an educational resource Mazer - towards the improvement of mankind.

All is well here od. The Maid is busy cooling me with a fan crafted from peacock feathers and by providing regular libation. I wish you good fortune and good health for 2022!

Over the years I've both posted in support of Weid and [censored] canned him. He's played some terrific games and others where he's made a witch's hat look like a Brownlow medalist. He's had more ups and downs than a bride's nightie. This contract must surely be his last chance at AFL level and I guess he knows it.

Perhaps so Neil but I can only image that first introductions may have been perilous.

Errr ...... not precisely ...... although your religious reference is apt WCW. Think more along the lines of religious penance in the Middle Ages ( you can exclude burning at the stake).

You do realise WCW that, as you work your way through this momentous tome, there will be regular testing of its philosophical content, moral implications and how it advances one's understanding of life itself. Sub standard performance may require penance at The Manor.

Fair question willmoy! With that monicker, I reckon would have learnt to fight as a schoolboy.

Boland bowled at test standard. Excellent line and a length that enabled him to gain maximum advantage from a pitch that was helpful but not unplayable. The English "batsmen" on the other hand, were simply deplorable. Apart from Root, they would be embarrassed at club level.

And , good old Oscar knew a thing or two about cricket !

I wish a happy and joyful Christmas to the bunch of [censored] on this thread

The 'Demonland Player of the Year ' usually gets it right. The Oliver Petracca quiinella should be a dead set, ring a ding, shoo in!

Yes thank you George all arrangements are (as always) in hand. (Although keeping the grooms away from the maid is always problematic.) However, I must confess, that with this Corolla business, there are major concerns over whether Charles and Camilla will be able to attend the official opening.

Any idea when the polos will be available @Demonland ?

No doubt you are speaking from experience here dc. I'm sure you flash the old school colours around the fleshpots of borewood and have the blue rinse set gasping.

It's a huge question dc . We are talking something akin to the meaning of life here. But then again.... he's a lawyer ...... so who knows what to expect. Except the bill of course.

C'mon dc - a borewoodian with your influence on this thread should be able to get a name from Redleg.

Haha! Correct as always od !

I humbly advise you to give up all other petty pursuits picket and go into the highly unpaid profession of writing training reports full time. I will consider offering you a Manor quality shiraz as recompense. ( it will energise your taste buds far and beyond the cheap booze you currently favour)

I vote for the the one shown in the op. The image of Max and Goody is more defined. BTW. Will you be offering polo tops again?

Haha not bad Col ! Some years ago, I did suffer an allegation of such behaviour but disproved it on the basis that I would never have been seen in the ugly shirt worn by the fat guy who was captured on film !
