We have reached a quite desperate situation if the forum has to rely on my memory. Now what was the question again?

Aladin? Try Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536) or Friedrich Nietzsche's Zarathustra (1883-1885).

He may be smug, Jnor, although I hadn't noticed, but he has handled his departure with style. He didn't let his personal situation become a distraction to his team's preparation, performance or victory celebrations. Now that the dust has settled he fades into the background.

Totally sick of reading childish and mindless bile like your contributions, wamberal. I've realised that my time is much better spent helping kids achieve their potential than responding to drivel. Over and out.

"When you're ready, willing and able you get everything working together and success becomes a habit." Very profound observation. Someone should pass it on to our national team.

I missed where you said it before, but it's a great line, Scarfie. I was brought up in a religion obsessed with the idea of an imminent Second Coming. It didn't happen. I have an eerie feeling of deja vu.

It's a bit like someone claiming to have heard the first koel in spring; or the first media report mentioning "tinderbox" in the bush fire season. GoReds can lay claim to being first to herald yet another version of the Robbie Deans "rebuilding process". Would I be right in presuming that...

Material for the Lee Grant anthology is accumulating so fast we'll soon be ready to approach a publisher.

I'll be surprised if he plays any club games, Braveheart. I've thought for some time that Dean looked as if he needed freshening up. Missing the World Cup Squad should see him back to his best next season.

The anthology manuscript has been duly updated.

What is more needed is a World Plate competition for those teams which finish 3rd and 4th in their pools. Each of the Plate games could be played as the early game to the corresponding knockout fixture of the Cup. Alternatively, if they were played as stand-alone fixtures they would certainly...

Perhaps it could be a State of Origin type fixture with each state nominating a champion to represent them. I have no knowledge of your form, Cat_A, but I'd be inclined to back waratahjesus against you. My only hesitation is that I suspect he might have a sly roadie on the way out of each pub...

Now there's a shrewd and frugal father. Young PaarlBok should still be able to play in those shorts as an adult.

I hereby grant my proxy to Cat_A for next year year's pub crawl. The last thing I need in my dotage is to end up at the SFS, slumped in my seat, snoring intermittently, with my mouth in fly-catching mode, surrounded by people talking with their mouths full of marbles. Mercifully I have long...

With Gregory's Street Directory going out of print, wj, have you given any thought to publishing an alternative directory of Sydney where all the reference points are pubs? It looks as if you might be able to put it together from memory.

That is exactly the attitude he is taking, Ruggo.

From the standpoint of a hoary old traditionalist, Hawko, an appropriate gesture of contempt for the decaffeinated version of the game. Fill the ground with legless 18-year-olds, some of whom may graduate to being legless 40-year-olds at the Hong Kong Sevens. I do have concerns about the...

Unfortunately, frf, it is true. Benny experienced pins and needles in his arms during the game against Randwick. An MRI revealed a congenital spinal condition that put him at risk of paralysis so he was forced to retire immediately. There are few tougher competitors in Sydney club rugby and...

That was so easy it's a shame to take the money. I knew they wouldn't let me down. You've just got to know your cattle. There we have it; "the future of rugby in Sydney" determined with just one announcement. A master stroke. How're you going to top that, Demetriou, you loser? While you're...
