    Game Day Round 1 and a 1/2 - NMFC v Dogs - 7.35pm @ Marvellous Stadium

    Apologies to Game Day Thread Field Marshal, Herr Gaso, and others for my tardiness in starting this thread. And thanks to him and any others who may have held my place in the interim. I mean, I could just say that it totally slipped my mind because I've just had brain surgery. But then who's...

    Yep. Thread officially sent into the stratosphere by an appearance from the AbsolutelyRealAuthenticTotesLegit, Q. It's nothing short of the stuff of dreams. Or dream teams. Or something.

    Hi there, fellow renegade. Loud, clear, and will seek out your counsel some time in the sooner rather than later category of time. I still have so many meaningless questions to pepper you with, about if you've ever played on the same bill as (insert some awesome old band, like Silkworm, that...

    Neoplasm-stricken lives matter, too. Legend. Thanks so much, franjon, and Horace, Kiwi, DP, Hilltop, Nicko, Dan & dan, Wels, Leo and a few others.(This is not a list.) Very kind of you.

    Sure. Kind of a push and pull thing between the positive of creating a hostile environment for the cancer, and it getting pissed and seeking out newer, sunnier climes. Cheers for posting that, Tas.

    Definitely going to try to be 'up' for the GoDees game. Could be one of those mythical, in-season, randomly-jagged games that I've been hearing so much about lately. In light of such unbridled optimism, I'm hearing strong rumours that this game will be moved to Unicorn Stadium in Pixieland, but...

    Sorry (for the late reply), Luke. Personally, I'd be a decent shout (and I mean that 100% literally) for either or both of The Brave Doggies and GoDees games. Round 3 - party at TOD Manor. (Please BYO large, heated, in-ground pool and/or functional jacuzzi. And not one of those blow-up ones...

    Lolzes. Entirely understandable, TennisPaleAle. My bad. And I usually pride myself on being so meticulous, too. Maybe the surgeon coughed and slipped. Or maybe it's just the Junior Mint in my head.

    Mods, can we start red-carding any posts that express a similar sentiment to those above? We all barrack for North. Any talk of jagging some sneaky wins is a form of cruel and unusual punishment for those already under extreme psychological duress.

    The bolded is a very good call, and I tend to adhere to a similar ethos in my lurkings. Give nothing else a second thought, my friend. You and I are super good, and will remain so. Really appreciate your kind words and offer of beer and sustenance. Fairly sure I got that second word right. I'm...

    You're spot on. They were all fantastic. The doctors, the surgeons, the nurses, the theatre nurses, the physio girls.... I was beyond impressed with the care and empathetic treatment I received at every step. I was up on the 6th in Neurology, and the nurses up there are absolute professionals...

    No, really. You two had to hone in on probably the only good thing I've ever done. For shame.

    No, I believe that is the job of the current administration : surreptitious, sneakily-amused sideways glance at a person in the current administration who did not enjoy my reckless employment of said phrase one bit.

    Still quite a bit of cancer in there so still have a long way to go. Sorry, everyone, to add such a maudlin tone to such an uplifting thread. At times like this you just want to feel like you have made some impact on the life of others, however tiny that may be.👍
