"Are there any (old) women here today?" said the Roman/Jewish character played by John Cleese, reading out the sentence at the stoning.

Has anyone noticed if traffic in this thread increases around the time of a full moon?

Exactly. That's D'lands Firsts team - The Eccentrics. I'd like to see someone post the lineup here one day. What I'm looking for is a place in the Seconds - not eccentric, just NQR.

Hmmm. Does D'land have a seconds team? I might deliberately run into some poor form to ensure I'm dropped or 'managed' so as to get on the reserves tour group.

I'm sorry to quote chapter and verse on you OD but I thought that all leave of MFC members during the official season has been banned since the Paul Gardner 'walk against want' fiasco during his 2003-2008 reign. Do you have a 'get out of the G free' pass I wonder?

He's a little late. The Saints already did that for 3 quarters.

Thread relegated to page 2? (Edit: before this post ) Is it : Resting? General soreness? Banana blight? Anyway, in news from the BFL, B1 was as smooth as a sundae while B2 had his nuts crushed in a contest and is due for a test before team selection for next game.

Is THAT what you call it Picket? I thought it was more akin to taking flying leaps from short run ups, rather like the Birdman Rally.

Might have borrowed Biff's tranny??

I reckon the crowd will get halfway through yelling the word "Baaaaaallllll......" and then go "no, wait, ummm "

The flight of a thousand miles starts with the pilot grasping the joystick, young grasshopper.

Tempted to agree but trying to resist MFCSS so soon in the season. I succumbed to it for a few days earlier in the week but must..keep..holding..on....

Did you make it down to the Bluesfest over the weekend Red?

I much prefer his later incarnation, Alice Cooper.

Fear not Earl. I can put you in touch with helpers who can take your wine for a far lower annual wage. I can have them drain the contents and return the bottles with an appropriate substitute. Might even do it myself.

Some of the best grappa I ever tasted was from a jam jar. And after it stripped my tonsils out I had a handy place to store them.

Well, a banana bender has to bend the bananas. That's his purpose in life. The question is whether the bending changes the taste and culinary performance of said bananas. If there's no impact, bring Bananaby on!

So OD, is there any trick to your recipe? Do you serve it cold, or maybe microwave first? What toppings? Please share.

Change of profile pic featuring a few tees that my kids Santa got me for Xmas.

Not speaking from experience, but I wouldn't be sitting anyone on Santa's knee at the Gatt!

Must be that the Cuban girls roll them on their left thigh rather than their right, Earl? Funny that the Cuban cigars don't give an indication of which thigh they were rolled on? Anyway, maybe it also proves that our banana bending Qld friends favoured the right all along with their Aussie bananas. Must go all the way back to Bjelke's days. Oh and Earl, how goes the search for fair trade coffee in Cuba? Any good 'brews' found that you could do a little importing of? You know, sewn into the door upholstery of the Roller when you bring it back into Oz?

You banging on again about your body woes Red?

You sure you're not my wife???

Didn't know there was an Ecuadorean Embassy within D'land. Had to LOL re BBO. It's like a scene out of Cool Hand Luke, where Luke does a runner and lives it up, but gets hauled back in by the law and put in the solitary confinement box.
