So it’s a gamble that can easily backfire.

#afterhours

I wouldn't take you guys out anyway. I'm on the verge of needing knee and hip replacements these days, and just going through the banner would almost be good enough to cripple me. Not sure Mobbs would be pleased with me being responsible for raising Roys insurance premiums getting injured taking one of you out.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

For the next month I am only allowed to lift half a kettle. I kid you not this instruction is in the go home instructions.

I have no idea what half a kettle weighs but it must be more than a crownie

Meat's back on the menu boys

You think you're falling apart? I only took this captaincy job because I thought I'd get a popemobile.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I'm kind of out of sorts not being in the team this week.

Do they have Quooty McGoo's? Not sure i want to go there.

I guess i could drink beer near the bench, or maybe i could support my team.

 

[Kilroy]

You’re mine now Kilroy

Are you talkin’ to me?

[Grav]

Great win Bombers, too good for me on the day Mobbs thanks for the week Roys, another great call philreich it’s a shame you dragged it out for an hour & a half as now I’ve missed my nana nap.
Oh well! Only thing to do then is hit the piss.

Looks strenuous.

 

[Bovo]

If we are doing Bowie I raise you this


Interesting fact. He wrote this song pretending to live in a time where people forgot how to have sex so relied on history books to explain how to do it. I had heard this song many times as I’m a Bowie fan, but listening to this with this information I was like “oh that makes sense now!”
