G`day Fellas , Well as a One eyed dragon supporter , I knew today was going to be the yard stick for Our grand final hopes . I`m Sad to say , I can`t possibly see us staying in the top 4 on that effort let alone winning . And I`m also becomming tired of the constant form reversals year after year , plus the constant turnover of players leaving one club for another . Could never immagine Bobby Fulton Or Johnny Satler Playing for St George or Cronulla , ( verry Sad ). For me , the salary cap has stuffed the game , not to mention the ongoing changes they keep making to the rules . I just can`t get used to the idea of the 13 Jumper at LOCK ....Jeezus I hate that!. So I have been watching AFL of Late , but that too holds the greatest frustration of all , The mandatory Comercial break , even before the ball has cleared the posts . So , This only leaves Soccer and the Rah Rahs , but with the Rah rahs being the easybeats these days ( NZ leads ( 22 to 5 ) I think someone said , so no pleasure there , and of course the soccers over , which leaves a big fat Zero. Hang on a sec , Channel 2 . sat arvo.........5.PM... Bowls . Hmmm , well I belong to a Bowlo , but I`ve never Played , might go up for a lesson during the week , it can`t be all that hard can it ?. All they seem to do here , is hobble up to a very diry mat , then while dribbling down their chin , drop a ball on some synthetic grass , which then rolls torward the cue ball . The idea then seems to be , is to try and knock the cue ball into a sand pit at the back of the pitch , which hopefully has been cleaned of all feral cat dropping during the night . Yeah , I can do that !. Mick

G`day Fellas , If you think its rare to see dolphins between the bridges , then you will not be surprized to learn that I almost Jumped out of our Boat with shock , when a Juvenile Dolphin leapt high into the air from the water 6 feet from our Boat anchored at a Jewie Spot at Spencer . I think from memory , Spencer Is about 14 kilms from the bridges , so that was a bit odd. Mick

G`day Fellas , Yeah Hi Paulie , Just not clicking at the moment , anything we get from here to Xmas Is all winnings . Mick

Yeah Paulie , you too mate !. Mick

G`day Fellas , Todays bets as alway are in Melbourne ( terrible meeting ) .

Maddie , It will never happen mate , trust me , It never has !. But I`m going to Vote for the Libs because of the Parks , which will be there forever . Even when the Dole Ques begin to swell to alarming poportions , nothing will change mate , because it`s the libs that pay the dole not the state. A talking head speaking for some ecnomic body , the name of which I did not quite hear , estimates the fallout from this debacle could be as much as 1.5 billion dollars to the NSW economy . Scary when you think of all those buisnesses on the margin now , facing a possible 1% Interest Rate Increase in the next 12 months . Mick

Little Old Lady in court..... Defense Attorney: Will you please state your age? Little Old Lady: I am 86 years old. Defense Attorney: Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st? Little Old Lady: There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me. Defense Attorney: Did you know him? Little Old Lady: No, but he sure was friendly. Defense Attorney: What happened after he sat down? Little Old Lady: He started to rub my thigh. Defense Attorney: Did you stop him? Little Old Lady: No, I didn't stop him. Defense Attorney: Why not? Little Old Lady: It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Abler died some 30 years ago. Defense Attorney: What happened next? Little Old Lady: He began to rub my breasts. Defense Attorney: Did you stop him then? Little Old Lady: No, I did not stop him. Defense Attorney: Why not? Little Old Lady: His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven't felt that good in years! Defense Attorney: What happened next? Little Old Lady: Well, by then, I was feeling really "spicy" so I just laid down and told him "Take me, young man. Take me!" Defense Attorney: Did he take you? Little Old Lady: Hell, no! He just yelled, "April Fool!" And that's when I shot him, the little bastard! Mick

Fisho , There was a small bridge over a drain at the end of: PARK RD: I think it was at East Hills on the Henry Lawson drive. There`s a nice little Beach there , and if the bridge is still there , then the weed should be too, We used to fish the reef there for blackies and had a ton of fun doing so . You can also use the weed from Liverpool Weir , a fact that is not well known ( If its still there ) . A fella in My street used to harvest it , and sell it to bait shops by the sugar bag full , and it worked a treat. Sometimes he had to walk well up along the bank when it was scarce , but he nearly always got drinking money from it. I must also tell you that , there are some monster Bream lurking near that reef at night as well , but most times will only take live prawns when they are running. Mick

G`day Fellas , Personally , I can`t see blackies going for Immitation Weed , or weed grown in a tank. My reason for this is , that most of the the Old timers , who fish all year round , have repeatedly said that ( Its the miniscule plankton , crustations , worms, etc, etc , that grows on the weed which they mostly feed on is a major factor ) , combined with the fact that They suck the bait in to taste it , nipping it off in pieces , like us chopping parsely on a chopping board , rather than gulp it down in one go . But nothing would surprise me these days I have to admit. Mick

G`day Fellas , Coota , Thanks mate ! , I thought it might have benn a hoax , but I was just too busy and lazy to go check it out. Mick

G`day Fellas , I just had an email from a mate who said under no circumstances open any emails regardless of who they were from .....that had any sort of a Heading relating to @%^&&&& . Its the Ist I`ve heard of it , and may well be a hoax , but better to be safe than sorry. Mick

G`day Fellas , Matchbox, Spoons , Gum Leafs , are my go . Played the Bongos back in the Dico daze. Mick

G`day Bob , As a retirre Now living In Old Bar , I attended A meeting at the Old Bar Bowling club where you attended and spoke some time back . Now , only a small handfull of people on this site would know what it was all about , and probably wouldn`t care either , so I won`t bother going over it . Ironiclay , I had hoped to have our local Activist online by now , but we are still having problems setting up his PC , and he`s no greenie either . This will be the fella to speak on our behalf where we are , and the last time I spoke to him , he stated quite emphatically he was no longer a fan of yours . Why , he did not have time to explain , but rest assured he will be online soon , and because he is so passionate about this and other issues , and also has all the Data to back it up , I will let him speak for me . That meeting , for the I`st time in history , brought together , Fishermen , Pro fishers , Farmers , Dairy Farmers ,Oyster growers , and a stack of concerned residents , but as yet .....zilch . Even now , Gobblygook speaking officials , arrive at the club regularly , fill their mouthes with bullshit , spray it around the room , and then head for a free meal at the Diner . I no longer attend these meetings , they , like splinter Groups are a waste of time in my opinion . But I`m not totaly against them , lets face it every bit helps , or its supposed to. Mick PS , Bob , with the greatest of respect , I could not be bothered reading the post mate , I`m so over politcal speeches , sorry. Mick

G`day fellas , Hows about we have a TOP 10 of the years best movies we have seen so far , seeing as we are all movie buffs. I`m making a List as we speak. Mick

G`day Fellas , One of the best Berley systems I have ever seen , was used on the beach here sometime last year. It consisted of a Simple S/Steel cylinder approximately 40cms long , perforated with holes the size of a kitchen colander , and had rings attached to Swivels both ends . The gadget was then strung by clothes line cord , between two S/S spikes 2 meters apart , and this allowed the cylinder to roll forwards and backwards with the breaking waves , continuously feeding small scraps of berley into the wash. When the fella thought he had berleyed enough , he just moved the device up the beach away from the wash , it was so simple , and so effective, it was amazing to see it in action. Obviously one end was detachable to insert the fish frames the fella was using for berley , which he said was best , because as the frames tumbled over and over inside the cylingder , minute shavings of the frames were being released continuously into the wash , Purrrfect !. To this day I have not seen a better system . Mick

G`day Fellas , Todays Bets Are . Melb races. $2.00 place Parlay R4......9............Elizabethan R6......2............Our Spur 7........15..........Concilliatory 8.........7...........Bugatti Royale 7........$9X$9...NO ...15 .. Concilliatory Good luck whatever you take . Mickl

Sweep , G`day Mate , ( the degraded state of some of our recreational fishing areas ) can you name 2 of these areas with scientific facts to Back up what exactly caused this "depletion" , because too many parties are claiming to be the Messaih , spruking the exact same party line !!!. The FP in my opinion are political opportunists , and closet liberals , and I`m still waitng for someone to point out to me anything they as a party Have achieved up till now . And I don`t mean turning up to every protest just to get your head on camera either . I`m perfectly willing to adopt, and support any serious group that wants to better the health of the Fish stocks of this nation , but have grown tired of Gobblygook and poli speak when addressing the cure , and not the cause. Mick

G`day Fellas , The Broncos will roll the Bully Dogs and we will Roll Balmain in the final 19-12 Mick

Monds , One of the Best is stingray flaps , the stuff keeps forever and the woims lurve it . Pippies are xcellent as well . But just about anything will do , preferably fresh is best. And even with advanced arthritis , Lozza can pull 10 worms to most peoples one . He is the only person who perservered with me , and now I can catch a few of My own. Mick

G`day Fellas , Trust me Harrold He can !!!! Mick

The Premier has received your recent email concerning Marine Parks. As the matter you have raised primarily concerns the administrations of the Attorney General, Minister for the Environment, and Minister for the Arts, the Hon RJ Debus MP and the Minister for Natural Resources, Minister for Primary Industries, and Minister for Mineral Resources, the Hon IM Macdonald MLC, the Premier has arranged to bring your approach to the Ministers' attention. You may be sure that your comments will receive close consideration. Yours sincerely, Jocelyn Mouawad Assistant Private Secretary Dear Secretary , Let me assure you , that this matter does concern the Premier , because I have never in my entire life heard such a consistent uproar from people I know , or just bump into at the clubs I visit . The swell is unbelievable , and it`s nothing like I have ever heard before in my 66 Years . This Marine Park fiasco , Trust Me , will surely lose the Premier his Job. Think about it ....8 years in opposition , 8 years , with those namby , pambys , Nah Nahs , nahing him daily for 8 long Years. Name and Address supplied So Thats it then , It`s not his problem. Methinks Our Premier only grabbed this job for the pension that comes with it , because I don`t think he has the Balls to stick around after they get flogged . And after 12 years on The Benches , there will be so much poison being spat in the Bear pit , labor will think they have fallen into a pit full of Cobra`s. Mick

G`day Fellas , Another Tailor Pic with Lawries Personal Trainer and Long Time Coach " Arthur ". You May remember Arthur who Posted That jewie Which I got the Weight wrong with. Mick

G`day Fellas , Local Legend Lawrie Pukallus once again has set the chins wagging with this brute of a Tailor Taken from Old Bar Beach earlier this evening . She weighed in at 20 LBS even , and went “ One Metre I cm ( 101 cms ). Lozza may drop in later and relate the story , or get me to do it for him . I think this fish should qualify for the Record for Tailor. And obviously it will be entered into the Fish of the Month competition. Now if only I can post the Piccies , you can all have a peek.
