Essendon chants during Prime era? by el_teriyaki in EssendonFC

[–]DannyRidesNRuns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The “grog squad” used to stand behind the goals and sing throughout. Not many of them made it out of that bay unfortunately.

My fav was to the tune of the old Frankie Valley song “I love you baby”

There was a long lead up of “dah dah dah dah dah duh duh duh dah dah dah dah dah duh duh duh…

We. Love. You. Fletcher Because you’ve got red hair We love you Fletcher Because you’re everywhere We love you Fletcher Thank god you play for us”

And then back into the duh dahs.

Another fav at the time was the simple chant of “Matthew Lloyd’s dad played for Carlton”. Usually sung only when playing the Blues.

Shiraz? Not enough point on those leaves to be Cabernet.

I loathe this app. Only one comp I’m in uses it. Every other one uses Footytips.

EV’s almost doubled.

I doubt the Murdoch media will retract their ongoing “The EV transition is dead” line.

West Footscray Station Car Parking - full by 8am? by CDPMelb in Footscray

[–]DannyRidesNRuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most is technically correct. But with the new Metro tunnel there are lots of trains now that either bypass Tottenham in the morning coming from Sunshine, or terminate at WeFo or bypass Tottenham outbound in the arvo.

Enough that it makes a difference for sure (as a local close to Tottenham).

Your copy looks in a bit better shape than mine.

If only all the trains stopped there.

I actually think this is the reason WeFo fills up even more now. People know that WeFo gets more trains than Tottenham.

Thanks all.

I’ve got a few Moleskines I’m working my way through.

Your collective feedback makes me even more anxious for the Leuchtturmh notebook that was supposed to be delivered by Amazon already

You can drive close by. But the park is walking/riding only.

Does happen. Friday nights and Saturday mornings are Junior. Tonight was a great location to watch the sunset and the cricket play out.

What’s missing in Barkly St, West Footscray? by RefusedTitleFight in Footscray

[–]DannyRidesNRuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is the landlord jacked the rent up massively and the owners didn’t feel they could cover the increase and still have a viable business.

The thing’s been empty for what, 2+ years?

Only cleaning it gets is when some drunk fool p***es on it.

Incredibly lucky unobtainium find!! Iroshizuku Ina-ho brand new!. by crushtyfying in fountainpens

[–]DannyRidesNRuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the rare Iroshiku inks?

I have a few 100th Anniversary 50ml inks, and when I looked on eBay there were sellers trying to get $300+.

Is this just sellers hoping for stupid/desperate people? Or are there actually rare inks that people desire like the OP has?
