Welcome to our world

[Mobbs]

Oops, shoe ...

Bugger, got meself caught in someone's green terri-towelling dressing gown ... bloody hell its dark in here ... all I wanted was to replace the mothball bag ... sheeze what's that?

Cedar shavings, no wonder the mothballs were elusive ... hang on, this wardrobe is bigger than I thought ... and it's cold towards the back ...

Bugger these clothes are scratcy, and what's with the soft light down here ... and the mist?

Good, mist is dispersing ... that's a branch, that's a flamin' tree branch! Where the bejeezus am I?

---

And so, we step through the portal and into Fitzroy, misty, dank, bleak ... but with a strange aura, a feel of magic if you will.

Oh deary me, someone is coming towards me ... reminds me of the ferryman ... nope, there's a few of them.

I recognise some of these people! It's Kenny with his exercise book full of stats, and his beard is back! Hey, isn't that Libby from Neighbours ... and look at that banner : 'The Roys For Shaw'.

Ooh, I'm feeling right frisky. And listen to that sound in the distance. Sounds like "Roys, Roys. Roys, Roys-roys-roys. Roys, Roys-roys-roys. Roys, roys-ROYS-ROYS-ROYS-ROYS-ROYS-ROYS-ROYS!'

My lord, a crossroad. Left for Junction Oval, right for Albion Charles, and straight ahead for ... oh wow ... straight ahead for Brunswick Street!

To the hill!

I have this little 'doll' thing my Dad got for me late in 1996, it's this man in a little knitted Roys jumper, scarf and beanie, sitting on a wooden bench with a little ceramic pie beside him, in a torn bag, with a flag that said 'Lions' but I replaced it with one that says 'Fitzroy'.

He has been sitting on my bookshelf for the last 4 or so years, with this grim look on his face, and he's a little dusty. I'm sure he'll be smiling a little more today.

Did you ever see that kids book that Aussie Post put out in 1995 the one about poor kid who supports Fitzroy? It was classic for the great drawing of his grandfather's reaction to the newspapers (continuing)prediction of their demise.Wish I'd bought it

Yeah, remember it. It was '96 actually. The book also predicted Boyd for a Brownlow medal!

I have that book. A friend of mine found it in a bookshop down in Tassie and sent it to me.

It's really cute.

As stated in the Golan/Van Damme flick 'Cyborg'.

I like the pain.
I like the suffering.
I like this world.
