Stop stalikng him. The man is a genius-just ahead of his time.

Max is already better.

What would you know Moonie? You are still reeling from the capsicum spray on Saturday as you tried to stop true patriots from having their say.

But then they would be lying. And Misson never fibs.

Hogan, while he still has value.

At least he does it from 13 ft above the ground. Jamar,bless him,is barely capable of 9 or 10.

Then you don't see the difference between 10 years of hell and 4 weeks of hope. The last time we were decent we had White and before that Stynes. max is the second best ruckman behind Goldstein in the comp.

Yes well we would need to bring the portuguese into the equation if we are to travel further east.Perhaps another 250 years. Better open another.

No he never got done for armed rob.

I am quite sympathetic to the Timorese Earl and I will let this one slide. I'm sure the billions we rob them for on the gas fields will cover it.

I hope that's not one of those fair trade coffee shops Earl. If there is one thing I don't like it's a fair trade. Where would enterprise be without exploitation?

Let's just say it's all in the past now.

I'm a student of history Earl. Mostly specialising in The Vandals.

Am I to understand the Barbarians conquered the Byzantines?

As Frank Thring once remarked (and was quoted recently by WYL),after they removed the gaffer tape and ball gag-"What a weekend!" We had a reunion of St Kilda pimps to kick things off on Friday evening-canapes and bubbles followed by marvellous stories of years gone bye,and former employees,clients and legal run ins of course. Many of my former rivals have moved on to bigger and better things in the public sector,child protection and what not while I still ply an old fashioned trade in a dwindling Fitzroy street ,a shadow of her former glory ,much like myself. After canapés we sat down to speeches delivered by Long John,Shadow Man and The Chill. Wonderful raconteurs all with strong memories of our shenanigans,and despite missing many teeth ,they all spoke quite well and surprisingly ,though many of their staff are no longer with us,they look in robust,nearly rude good health .We retired to the Former Windsor hotel(in Windsor) for drinkies and I was engaged answering questions about how to manipulate the minds of the fairer sex till nearly dawn.First Class Saturday Night was not so brilliant and the shine was removed further by the throngs of newly emerged Euro soccer fans gathering in Richmond ,blocking my way to the All Nations where I was meeting colleagues to discuss price fixing,market control,and other business ideas. The food has slipped terribly there,but not nearly as badly as the clientele. There was a Blonde hosting some sort of unimportant milestone(first deep thought perhaps),who felt it necessary to scream at full lung as each of her guests arrived. Luckily,I was armed only with a butter knife and a roaring headache so she remained safe.Idid not make it to the galleries in Smith St as the drinks are getting more watery and cheap by the day.I put this down to the ever present Earl Hood schmoozing his way through the galleries. If any new bohemian tries to serve my cocktail in a pickle jar I take offence-some things are too important to tinker with. I ended the evening quite early ,was home at the Gat and into a good book (American Psycho) before too late and woke feeling refreshingly superior and haughty,with no remorse ,shame or care-much like the lady speaker of Parliament!

Hopefully just the tip of a larger sinkhole then DC. Start packing your cheap suits.

I notice Borewood is collapsing into a pit. Like a Black Hole collapsing into itself. No great loss.

Reality gets a bit dull. I've taken up parkour

So did you accept the role?

We had the chance to remove Hird from the AFL forever. Same.

Thats been my mantra for decades.

We've all made that mistake. Nobody likes to miss one .

I don't see any contradiction Skuit.

I am very busy helping starving children in Biafra and would appreciate you limiting your drunken ranting.Difficult as you seem to find it.

Dear Demonlanders, above ( and below) is what you might call a classic case of alcoholic enabling. Fear not,friends,I am five days sober and not even old Bitterness will make me hit the grog . I am a better person than most of you now. and you should all know that. Unfortunately,Old Bitterguts doesn't see it that way and wants to drag me back to the fray.
