    On my way back home I took a bus from West Footscray due to the Sunbury train line being out of action because of a tree branch I believe that fell on the tracks - it was a sunny day but very windy and the bus I got went to North Melbourne Station then I got the train to Spencer or Flinders cant remember to get my train home.
    Not a tree branch! What's anyone going to be able to do about one of those? I'm surprised that it's still not there.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    Yeah not sure exactly what it was but something was obstructing the train tracks in a particularly section of the line.

    What about the episode where Elaine agreed to go on a date with Jimmy, because he spoke about himself in the third-person? Classic ending with Mal Torme serenading Kramer, due to his perceived disability.

    To this day I regard the Velvet Fog as the ultimate pro. How you could possibly not laugh at Kramer in that scene is beyond me.
