This is the fastest I've seen you move since S22.

 

[Chipmunk]

You had a good run Chipmunk

Well the ants of Sweet had plenty to fear against the mighty MUNKMAN.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

This is the fastest I've seen you move since S22.

So you're saying we're winning the flag again......

Premiership Centreman and Premiership Full Forward sure does have a good ring to it.

Maybe. I think I know why tony sent me to Spotswood to get the milk. My flags S22, S33 so next S44. Sorry Tigerturbulance it was in the fine print.

 

[Millky95]

Miss you Broken

 

[thewizardmelon]

Sounds like a great spectacle, Wiz. Who are you getting to do the thinking component for you?

I might ask the whole team to each write a line. I have no doubt it will be a cohesive and fundamentally sound bit of writing.

Always outsource JWS, always outsource.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Least you have some...

Millky without the millk. What dastardly world do we live in.

 

[thewizardmelon]

Its like getting OOB on steroids with Twin Turbo power included

Imagine if Turbo did have a twin…gee that’d be something

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Imagine if Turbo did have a twin…gee that’d be something

Hot tub would overflow.

 

[MWPP]

Hi Old Boys and Dingster
I stand by what I said last week about love muscle on toast Tigerturbulance and Mrs Turbo

 

[Pugsley]

Hi Old Boys and Dingster

[Electronic_Renaissance]

You've been hanging around Electronic_Renaissance too much.

Cap knows his stuff.

I can't be contained, only restrained. Or is it the opposite? I can never remember.

Who are you anyway? Your name sounds familiar.
