Only those renewing or joining before 10 December please. Am interested in what other members are thinking. Also, if you do not contact the club and nominate your preference, your membership card will default to Jonathan Brown.
Did anybody else receive an email from Kevin Sheedy right after 9pm? L
Looks like some 5126 people in Canberra (including me) have been honoured with complimentary Foundation Membership as a thank you for those $50 pledges.
I guess anybody signing up now would be a Foundation member.

It is actually a hymm with words by William Blake. Rather religious though.
For those interested

The letter U umlaut (U with the two dots above) is being filtered and turning into *.
Why is this?
It is a valid letter.

Now I can't used words like *ber and *bermensch, verg*enza (in Spanish).
Schön nicht.
Just as I thought - letter discrimination...
Smasha will love this.

They've continued on, with different line ups since Matt Moffitt died in 2003 (RIP), before properly reforming this year with Glenn Bidmead on vocals. The style continues, but it is not the same without Moffitt.

Our boys have actually been singing this for a few years now.
Interesting history

I went to training today at Windy Hill.
Unfortunately, the boys had finished when I arrived.
I did speak to Matthew Knights. Lovely chap. Somebody asked him about Scott Lucas' contract. Duh! Of course Knights wasn't going to answer a question about player contracts.
I asked Knights if...
You do not have to know the players personally to participate.
Who ever answers correctly can ask the next question.
First question
Aside from Ash, which other player has an eyebrow pierced?
Which would you fear the most. a Terminator (any model) or a Cylon (the metal ones)?
If they battled each other, which man-made artificial intelligent 'life-form' would come out ahead?
Does anybody give their dog Sasha's Blend?
I'd be interested in your thoughts, and any other remedies you may use.
I've only started giving it to a geriatric (15 year old) German Shepherd since Monday and I think it works, or it might just be my imagination. He usually runs like an old dog...
I recently took a dog into my care (I do not consider myself to own him as that would be canine slavery :D).
He is an older German Shepherd.
I need some advice about bones.
Aside from tinned dog food, dry dog biscuits and chicken wings as part of his regular diet, I give him bones. He...
As MacMum mentioned, we have some great youngsters in the Manangatang 3rds, which is a great place for Leigh to hide them.
I think some of them will be drafted directly to the Brisbane Lions, bypassing our 2nds Suncoast Lions.
I'm impressed with the exquisite skills shown by Augustus (Gus)...
Really enjoying their style.
OneRepublic (MySpace), a Los Angeles based rock group (originally formed in Colorado).

They've been around for about eight years.
Their third album Do You Like Rock Music? is awesome.
Do You Like Rock Music? was rated five stars out of five by The Observer and tipped to be one of the hottest albums for 2008. NME's review was amazingly 'lyrical'. The BBC just about gushed...
Bought the CD today. Just released
Quite clever. They are a NY group with more of a Brit post-punk sound.
Don't suppose anybody else has heard of them yet. BBC has tipped them to be big. Their CD received a great review from the Guardian.

You know you're Australian if …
1. You know the meaning of the word "girt".
2. You believe that stubbies can be either drunk or worn.
3. You think it's normal to have a leader called Kevin.
4. You waddle when you walk due to the 53 expired petrol...
Supporting and being a member of two clubs (Brisbane Lions and Essendon) already is plenty, but the Dees is so damn likable.
Damn it!
First, there is the history.
Second, it's a team that the City of Melbourne supports.
Third, the horrible year that Ricky Petterd had makes it too easy to...
Further to Warwick's verbose, unnecessary, and entirely inaccurate 2008 ladder prediction, I was wondering about the implications for the season, of most teams' pre-season preparations.
There seems to have been a greater emphasis on the pre-season this year.
A few teams have made a big deal...
Most new shows on tv are now devoid of the theme song at the start (Desperate Housewives, Supernatural etc).
Shame, as there were many great ones.

Today's education system appears to no longer teach correct grammar.
Is there a way for BigFooty to auto-correct the appalling misuse of the word 'of' being used as a verb?
Auto-correct 'would of' to 'would have', 'should of' to 'should have' etc..
:mad::eek::thumbsd:
This thread is about hypothetical scenarios. I'll put up a scenario, and anybody can discuss the pros and cons.

First hypothetical
We all love our Brisbane Lions. Would you ever consider getting a job at the club?

After numbering boxes for the recent federal election, it takes some getting used to the EFC ballot paper for electing directors to the three vacancies on the board.

Is there a chance and any interest in organising BigFooty sponsorship of a player for next year?

I reckon Andrew Welsh would be a good choice. Top bloke. Great with people (supporters, the community etc).
