When the wind was right the other night, we copped the smoke from the Vic fires here in Adelaide. We've done OK so far this season, but our turn will come.
Roll on winter (or just some fucking rain - it's parched here, and we're breaking all the wrong rainfall average records!).
They banned the pavement pyros years ago, Brownie. Used to be you'd drive down a leafy street in Melb and you couldn't see where you were going. Especially on Sundays.
Did you know Brian Clough was run out of Nottingham Forest by the management?
oh I do NOW...
"Brian Clough OBE (it stood for Old Big 'Ead according to the recipient!) has gone ... and perhaps when God gets tired of hearing Clough saying He's sitting in his seat, then he can have a word with someone and tell them to posthumously award Clough his rightful (Knighthood).
After all, if Sir Alex can get a gong for one European Cup with the richest club in the world, surely Brian Clough deserves a knighthood for two at clubs who now languish outside the Premiership?
I leave you with some gems from Sir Brian Clough - a true legend of the game.
"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business, but I was in the top one."

Thanks TT. My Sedgwick ancestors are from the Nottingham Forest area on the banks of The Derwent River. Locally referred to as HoodTown. I like that. always bin a bit of a hood. cheers
Taking The Ashes spirit just a little too far.

Oh dear. Burning your hash stash?
It's a shocker in Melbourne today.
Even seeping into buildings.

Two news reports saying Symonds "gets the nod"
Do the selectors line everybody up and give a nod as they walk past.?

a pox on pavement pyromaniacs at any time of year. Is it illegal?
The smoke drift from the fires is to remind those of us not burning, how lucky we are.
Would all the High Country be burning if the cattlemen had not been run outta Nottingham Forest by the environmentalists?
