Red and Bluebeard

Congratulations WJ and family. Great news! Always a joy to hear.

There is no accounting for taste ...

Nah --- they probably watched porn between takes ...

So eagles don't eat Vegemite? You learn something new every day ...

You'll go to the footy with Moonie, BBO and Biff, but won't eat Vegemite? Crikey, it must be a weird place where you come from! :)

Next you'll be telling me that Biff is Grace Sullivan's love child, and she made some extra quid during the war selling crack at the Gat ...

That is the first (and possibly only) time I have ever heard The Sullivans and porn mentioned together ...

There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Just saying ... :)

Once you scrape the ice off ... :lol:

Essendon and bananas in the same post? Sacrilege!

Red bananas. I thought a connoisseur like yourself would know such things ...

Why not? But thanks for the idea anyway ...

Yes --- just realised we are fresh out of them, and better go and obtain some more. Thanks for the reminder! Redleg is probably sipping a banana daquiri in some swank US bar as we type ...

True, unfortunately for me. If we have to discuss former liberal state premiers, then Bolte or Hamer for mine. But the price of bananas will always win out ...

You prefer discussions about North and East Burwood?

Same old song?

The Google map that pops up from Wikipedia suggests something a lot smaller --- basically Warrigal Road to the west, Riversdale Road to the north, Stephensons Road to the east and Highbury Road (sort of) to the south. However, given the rather weird and wobbly lines, especially the southern one, I could believe that the surveyor responsible found these boundaries via a pub crawl ... More bizarrely, the same source defines Burwood East in a similarly nonlinear fashion, with the result that the Burvale appears to be not in Burwood East, but in Vermont South. Add that to the list of stuff you know but wish you had never found out ... :)

Jeff Kennett was the Member for Burwood, wasn't he? Kind of says it all ... :)

The Gat of its day, then? You seem very familiar with it .... :-)

No doubt in a banana republic ...

I have a feeling black water would taste better than that muck ...

That is what coffee is for (not that the Yanks have discovered real coffee yet )

Because you feel right at home!

I haven't tried these, but knock yourself out with this lot ....

Work or pleasure, Redleg? If it is the latter, have a great time!
