Red and Bluebeard

You may live to regret that ...

Sounds good. I usually manage to sit somewhere near where the coaches run out. We may not get there for the start of the game, but I'll know more about our movements closer to the day.

I will probably be there, with a visiting Japanese student and probably one of my sons as well.

Glad to hear you are still off the smokes. Keep on not believing! I would ask about your experience with tea cup readers, but on reflection I am not sure I want to know .. As for the footy, MFCSS is in full swing after the NAB game on some other threads.

The historical basis for several video games ... :-)

Good on you, OD. I really think the NBL threw away a lot of support by not continuing with the Tigers. Unlike many NBL clubs, they have a real connection to the basketball community and a lot of junior teams, and hence a large supporter base, many of whom will feel like you and not want a bar of an artificial team like Melbourne United.

I used to follow the Tigers, back in the days of Gaze and Copeland, and the classic battles with the Magic. Some fond memories of the '93 and '97 finals. Once Gazer retired I gradually lost interest, which was probably around the time the NBL jumped the shark ...

[censored] happens ... I am sure we can fix that.

Well done, DF. Stick it up 'em!

I thought you would have dived off the wagon in to a waiting vat of red As for jazza, I reckon he is still pegging away without the durries.

A colleague of mine at work emigrated here from Russia in the mid 90's. I remember he was laughed at in a meeting in the dying days of the Howard government for saying that we have good governments in Australia. The laughing stopped when he started talking about Russian politics ...

Ok, but I make an exception for their colours and some of their 'head case' supporters ...

Ouch! That is pain indeed. The revenge for 1988 will come some day ...

I know what you mean. My in-laws go for the Hawks, and lets just say that the ledger is very one-sided ...

So which was the darkest day last year? Getting flogged by West Coast? Or Geelong? Or GWS? The game against the Hawks last year wasn't our best, but probably wasn't our worst, either ...

keep changing them, then ...

You forgot the shepherd from Viney ...

In the era of drones with cameras, that could have unexpected consequences ...

I think it is more likely to be red, white and champagne ...

I think I would remember that The dog has been acting strangely of late, though, and he spends more time on the couch in the back yard than anyone else ... :cool:

That's couch grass, pronounced kooch, and is the most common green stuff that grows wild in back yards, public parks, reserves and just about anywhere else that isn't tropical rainforest or overrun by wild camels. It is not grass that grows on furniture, unless your furniture is out in a paddock somewhere, with alpacas around to provide fertiliser ...

Speaking of moderation, what are the lads giving up for this month? If you are on the wagon, at the very least they could give up couch grass ...

So that means it is all a schemozzle still ...

Sounds like there is only one thing for it -- banana cake!

You are definitely nuts jazza -- how else do you explain taken on (the former) BBO in a non-drinking vs non-smoking contest? But I am with you about making the 8 ... spirit of '87 and all that
