It has always amused me the number of people who use the term "falcon" without knowing it's links to Mario Fenech and his Maltese heritage.

I know this thread has gone way off topic but I just wanted to add that the bloke who goes running up to Mario in the blue jumper at the 41 second mark is a friend of mine, Mark Courtney. Wrote a great book about Souths' expulsion from the NRL during the time they were out of the comp. I'm in the acknowledgements :)



My mate John Elias says hi and acknowledges you too.

You've mentioned your friendship of John Elias before. What mischief is he up to these days?

He keeps telling me the same joke every Friday.

JE - "Big Jimmy, did I tell you about my new job?"
ED - "Yes, 42 times now"
JE - "Yeah the one with AMP selling insurance?"
ED - "This is going to be 43 isn't it?"
JE - "Yeah because I am good with the ladies they want me to sell insurance to women only"
ED - (Me desperatey trying to save time) "And you are Lebanese so you can sell to Muslims right?"
JE - "No big fella no I am not allowed to sell to muslim women, you wanna know why?"
ED - "Someone kill me please"
JE - "Because they are already covered bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
ED - "Tonights the night I drink myself to death people"
 
Homer Simpson with 14 posts in the last 12 years made a monumental contribution to this board the day he coined the name 'Foot Falcon'.

I move that the next time we're reading through tribey posts in the hunt for post of the year we call the thread 'The 2014 Homer Simpson award' or something of that ilk.

Feel good story that one.

I read the one by George Piggins a few years back.

Look up 'Moving The Goalposts' by Mark Courtney for the perspective of a fanatical supporter. I went to South Sydney's first game upon returning to the competition and sat with Mark. Quite an emotional evening.

He is a ripper.

If you make it up for the Sydney game and head over to Balmain I'll introduce you to him and the other ex-NRL bad boys that associate with him.

(Is Craig Field in jail cos that will make introducing him difficult)....

Met Brett Finch on Saturday (he wasn't with JE) and he is a fantastic bloke.

Craig Field signed a Balmain jersey of mine once. Is he actually doing time?
 
Can someone get Jarman Impey to call me?

I keep getting letters saying I am an "Interstate Member" and I am Club1870.

Just about to dump chicken shit at the club door.

Jarman will call you to let you know that he can't help you, but will pass on your details to the membership department.

Loving the bunnies talk! They along with Port and Cardiff City are my true sporting loves.

I played for the Bunnies (well almost as I didn't make first grade and played more for Newtown) when I came here the first time in the late 90's.

Been a member since 1995, started 2 clubs up called Rabbitohs and make sure I get at least one game a year in as well as attending every Grand Final since I moved here to make sure I don't miss the big one :).
 
In a couple of weeks I head to China via KL on Malaysia Air.

A few weeks after 9/11 I was meant to be travelling to NY with United.

Both planned before the incidents, someone is trying to scare me off flying.
You could always contact the club and ask about the buses.

Case is still going I think.

Haven't seen him for a while actually.
 
Don't ever make the mistake of digging out the N64 to play it.

I had the misfortune of doing just that a few years ago and the gap between my nostalgic memories and brutal reality was roughly the equivalent of watching Federer/Nadal live in HD and playing Pong on a Commodore 64 via 1995 dialup.

I still play Mariokart 64 on a regular basis. It's the perfect multiplayer game. Easy to learn, hard to master, perfect gameplay. They could simply up the resolution and maybe add a few tracks and drivers and re-release it now instead of the clusterf*** that has been every Mariokart game since.

Jarman is currently helping broker peace talks between North Korea and Dennis Rodman.

You have a better shot at the CEO calling you,
