They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I'm attending a work function at Bells Sth Melbourne tomorrow afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing BAD and Chops shitfaced rolling around Moray street.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

No need to qualify TD, he's a great bloke full stop.

Re: Events Thread
Really enjoyed the event today, although parking not easy in the area as there are time limits on street. Plenty of food and an open bar.
Rocket and Lake told a lot of old war stories from the time they first joined the club. Outside of premierships Rocket mentioned the best time of his footy days were at the Bulldogs. Praised Brian for being one of the best one on one marks he has seen. Rocket said 2008 and 2010, we weren't really in it but 2009 was the one that got away.
Mitch Wallis came on as a special guest and spoke a bit about his injury and was asked about the young guys coming through.
Wasn't a big crowd, so ample opportunity to have a quick discussion afterwards with the guys. I asked Brian what he was doing tonight and said he is needed in Sydney. He said that Maple contacted him in 2016 to come back to the club.
Not much else to report.

No he works for a welding company with his mate Matthew Sutton.
They do compliance of gas bottles etc.
The rest of the time he's at Caroline Springs footy club I reckon he basically lives opposite the ground.
Weldco.
