I think Gee D that it's an oblique reference to a sport which holds no interest for me, AFL. However, others here have intense interest in the games, leaders, etc.
Which team is referred to and its current standing is not known by me.
There are others here who will probably enlighten us both. I do know Vulpior follows Sydney Swans and goes to many of their games.

If it's not cricket is it truly a sport?
I thought possibly there was a distillery there...
OK, I'll apologise for that crack before I'm asked to.

But I have, sir, a son by order of law, some year older than this, who yet is no dearer in my account. Though this knave came something saucily to the world before he was sent for, yet was his mother fair, there was good sport at his making, and the whoreson must be acknowledged.—Do you know this noble gentleman, Edmund?

Good luck JtC.
I don't understand how the Ship's Rexory can call himself an Anglican and not support the game that is played in Heaven, but that's probably something to do with the fact that he's on the w side of the continent.

Thank you all. I am starting to see, but still have doubts that Rexory can be a proper Anglican given the extent to which he has strayed from the path.

This wee gem can and will be repaired and strengthened ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif) I have been keeping an eye on it ever since February last year and hoping. There are currently large steel beams bracing the walls and the porch, a later adddition, has parted company with the rest of the building; but it is repairable. Apparently the windows were saved by the perspex which had been added as an anti-vandalism measure.
This is one of my two favourite buildings and I am still waiting for word on the other.
Meanwhile the decision to demolish the Cathedral is being challenged in the High Court.

It will come as no surprise that I am an All Blacks supporter - in a game that has an international competition. What the Redsox or the Hawks or Bombers do on a Saturday afternoon is of no interest to me - even what a bunch of rabbits do in a comp that has three nations in its pretend world cup has little interest.
But go the Hurricanes. Because they provide some great All Blacks. Though in reality I don't like franchised sports either - if players don't have a link to a region tell them to piss off home. I used to watch Horophenua get thrashed every week - but they provided Joe Karam and the Paekakariki Express over the years. Franchise names leave me puzzled because reference to the locale is dropped ... I still cant work out the Chiefs from the Sharks and the Highlanders from the Cheetahs. Or the Mystics.
I grew up seeing regional teams as training/feeding grounds for Internationals. US gridiron (or even baseball) comps and aerial ping pong (AFL) never held interest for me, any more than my pedestrian races when I was a kid, trying to get to the end of the Wellington Railway Station subway before anyone else off my train. I was world champion in my own mind. Carlton, Port Adelaide, whatever can be in theirs, I guess.
Though I did watch ten minutes of the final between Gunbalanya and Maningrida last night, and continue to have respect for the aerial marking skills of the players. It's the first ten miutes of Australian Rules I've watched since I watched 20 minutes of Hawthorn playing someone, with Robert Runcie (!) in about 1985. And that's my total absorption in the sport.
I have huge respect for the ball skills of soccer players, too. But not their hypochondriacal histrionics, which put me off thier really quite beautiful game. So I don't watch them. I am growing to love hockey, but find it hard to watch because the ball is so small and fast and there are so many legs and sticks flailing around it that I can't see what's happening. But I guess it's like rugby ... at least in a ruck or scrum or maul I can tell more or less what's happening by the movements and positioning of the non-involved players, outside the melee.
Warwick Capper's pants were seriously silly. Is he still playing? I kinda liked Bruce Doull's hairstyle, though. They are the only two names I ever noticed in AFL. There was someone called "God", who still seems to be playing, 30 years later. I guess it's probably his son by now. Sigh.

I wish these male headship people would put their money where their mouths are and give up Australian citizenship, I mean really how can they go against their conscience and submit to a female head of state. Funnily enough the Queen's delegate, the Governor General and the Governor of NSW are both female, as well as our elected PM, there is no escape for the misogynists.
Enough Syd Angs, go to Iran or somewhere where you're guaranteed not to have to submit to a woman leading your nation.

The troops are being rallied. In the letters section of SMH today is one from a woman from John Woodhouse's former church and another from someone at St M, Paddington. (Woodhouse is now principal of Moore.) Both fairly predictable. A couple from Moore students who declare they would never have enrolled there if they had thought its teachings unbiblical. All offset by one from Josie McScimming from UCA background. I knew her years ago but have had no contact with her for a long time.
Also some complaining of bias of SMH. This is not a new complaint but it's usually against SMH's anti-christian bias.

Oh Cryptic, it's only women that need to be kept in their place! So you being in charge of Sunday School is excellent, you can lead any female teachers. There is no restriction on men's roles, only women's.

Thankyou, Cryptic, I'm progressing well. I had hoped to churn out a couple of thousand words today, but I'm afraid they wouldn't come. Other pottering around done, though, with a short walk, a short drive and some watering of the garden achieved.
Also, some paid work is brewing, a few days a week from week after next. It looks rather good, and timing has turned out to be OK given recent events.
Not going to Junior Guides Dad's night tonight - given Mrs C is group leader, it was all a bit much.

Third thread from the bottom of the page? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Spring is in the air which feels different. Am taking the annual pilgrimage for the weekend to Southern Tablelands. It's forecast to be a good deal cooler than Sydney.
X-Ray results of sinus problem came back. All clear of anything nasty, just lots of inflammation and gunk. Corticosteroid spray script dispensed for just under $50. Not on NHS. The sample worked wonders so I paid out reasonably easily.
