Toast To those who go unnoticed …

[Kilroy]

To those brave souls amongst us who keep the faith … despite all odds

…. who may be a little bitter ?



Undervalued ?



Painstakingly thorough ?



Largely unheralded ?



Dangerous ?



Surprising ?



Technically proficient ?



Lonely ?



Outrageous ?



Damaged ?



Forgotten ?



… but appreciative ?



We salute you!!

I know everyone likes to give a shoutout to nurses, but I am going to give a special hurrah to the stoma nurses who genuinely have to deal with people's and also wee.

Thank-you stoma nurses!

We Old boys love our cephalopod Braklet as shown when we celebrated his 100th game

The Dragons told him, after he informed them he was moving to Spotswood for season 35, he was making a mistake and would regret the move. Well 2 premierships later that has not been the reality for Braklet as he embraces everything there is to being an Old Boy and the success that has come with it.

The former Dragon (S33-34 31 games) will become the Old Boys first cephalopod to reach 100 games in Sundays must win Elimination Final on Sunday against the Gumbies.

"This milestone is a sign of maturity for us as a club as more players rack up big numbers with the newest club in the competition" Braklet said.
"OOB have only played 83 games as a club so to play my 100th wearing the hoops and helping build on the OOBs success is a real stepping stone towards legitimizing us as the best team in this town".

"Moving to Spotswood was the smartest thing I ever did, the sense of community and mateship is nothing like I have had before and I just love playing for this team."

Team Captain Tigerturbulance stated "Braks has been a great get for the club, he is a great team mate who is always looking out for people and engages in all aspects of the club, its great to see him rack up his 100th game and I look forward to putting on the qooty boots with him for many more games."

I just said that I liked him, I didn’t want his life story, the enigma bubble has burst!

Steady big fella, I have a hard won reputation to protect in here. Don’t go ruining all my hard work.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Thanks, I try my best.

Yep. That’s beyond the call of duty.

Every parent’s nightmare.

Fortunately they invented menthol-infused nose plugs for this purpose, because …

Emergency or crisis foster care, and temporary or respite care are essential when families break down and children’s basic needs aren’t being met by parents either absent or struggling to keep up themselves.

Hats off to all involved - those paid and unpaid.

 

[Kilroy]

Thanks, I try my best.

That’s all anyone can ask mate.

Good fortune is indeed not to be taken for granted, buddy.

A timely reminder - and much respect for all the 1%ers!

Fortune favours the brave.

Gotta be in it to win it, hey Mrs Turbo ?

Sometimes you need to provide an essential service just to be appreciated.

I mean, where would we be without worms?

They assist in maintaining healthy soil, retaining water and recycling organic matter.

But they get a bad rap cos some of them are parasites.

 

[Pugsley]

Look at you going all David Attenborough.

 

[Kilroy]

Look at you going all David Attenborough.

You should get that seen to mate.

The rabies. Indeed.

Joking of course Mrs Turbo

Nobody should be eating worms … cows included … birds by all means should though.

Witchitty grubs maybe (protein for humans), but again … not for cows.

And we probably don’t appreciate what we eat enough. But we can appreciate worms without eating them.

This is certainly not the place for hatred.

I often make the same observation WRT buzzards:



Really amazing creatures, no head feathers to collect putrefied carrion goop, almost completely resistant to diseases that kill everything else. Nature's Trash Disposals!

Everyone hates them, until there's a stinky carcass around.

 

[Braklet]

And we probably don’t appreciate what we eat enough. But we can appreciate worms without eating them.

Pugsley disagrees with this statement!
