Red and Bluebeard

Plenty of hot air and fine company though ....

No but they would probably have better food ... ?

If the two of you hold him down ... ?

So you will be training the house down the next day!

Would love to -- it was well worth it last year. Unfortunately I have a stupid work 'retreat' that day .... I am sure Old Dee and Beelzebub can eat my share between them

Why not? Beats dodgy tours of Middle Eastern hot spots with equally dodgy coffee ...

There is a first time for everything ... :-)

Yes, groupthink tends to move in a straight line with a constant velocity unless acted on by a net force ...

Not forceful enough, methinks, but it may have sufficient mass to get the point home. Differentiating oneself from the pack like this has advantages over integration. Then perhaps you can trip the light fantastic?

Relax! The bananas strike back ... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-15/scientists-battle-to-beat-banana-fungus-before-it-spreads/7929772?WT.tsrc=Facebook_Organic

Only took them over 5 years ... quick mob out there at Waverley ...

It is okay provided that part of his contract is to eat three bananas a day sourced from Earl Hood's Fruit Supply ...

Pushing the Holden?

Gill sounds like the sort of idiot who thinks hardship is only being able to afford a Jaguar rather than a Rolls ... or that the height of embarrassment is not knowing which fork to use at a formal dinner. Makes an amoeba look tough!

They'd have been broke years ago, if that were the case ...

By whacking them with the bottle?

So you think he is an alien? How many aliens have you heard?

Any year, but 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 will do for starters ...

I don't care how many we win, as we win 3 or 4 in September...

Clearly they were tanking for draft picks ...

Did someone say the Banana Splits?

Actually, I am rather glad that no-one has spewed up any bananas yet ...

So when the Dees are struggling next year, Earl, can we pass around the hat so that you can put a few dollars on the Dees not making a preliminary final?

[Channelling my inner jazza]: Come off it you old grump! Go play with your pretend cows or something! Us real workers have had lunch before you are awake! I don't have time to read the papers, but if I did and they depressed me, I wouldn't read 'em! Man up, mate!

I found myself thinking "what would jazza have made of that?" and it was hard not to laugh ...
