      My partner wouldn't let me put "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" as my religion.

      Ah well, there's always next time.
      Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

      Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

      And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

        Im a census collector this year and basically if your not here tonight at midnight...then you dont do it...if your out of the country then nothing happens, if you are not at home but at a hotel or something then youll be counted there...and there is a fine per day which is pretty crazy and thats for people who REFUSE to do it..


        Really hoping I dont get too many people whinging and refusing to do it....its for everyones benefit!

        Already had a couple of people complaning about how the E-census is designed to just save trees and save money for the TAXPAYER FUNDED ABS.....

        If you got any questions check the website bornadog wacked up or if you want the personal touch, chuck your question in here!!
        I must admit i had a bit of giggle, say we are not home when you come to collect, do we just assume you will know when we are home to collect it?
        I am certainly not leaving it outside on my doorstep.
        Bring back the biff

              That's why I did mine online..... my husband is a shift worker & I didn't want anyone coming to collect the form & waking him up!!

                Can I ask you a serious question? How did you get to be Super Moderator and what is the difference exactly between Moderator and Super Moderator? A cape?

                GVGjr has three times as many posts as you and he's still only a Moderator. Bit unfair don't you think?

                I reckon you wrote that yourself.
                But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                  GVGjr and myself started the site. I had a vague idea about starting a site for Bulldog fans but I knew I couldnt do it without him, so I basically pestered him until he agreed. I can be very persuasive/annoying when I want to do something.


                  And, yes I have to wear a cape when I post.


                  Some others involved helping out back in the early days were Dry Rot, Topdog, Alwaysadog, WW biscuit and Ms Bulldog. Apoligies to anyone I've forgotten.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Bit of a contradiction , super moderate?
                    Sort of like claiming to be the most modest person in the universe.

                      It all comes down to the cape I guess.*






                      *BTW I am certainly not the most modest person in the universe.

                        That's fascinating -- apologies if it already exists but I don't think a 'who are we' or 'history of WOOF' type section in the FAQ would go amiss. I'm always fascinated by how things 'came to be', as it were.

                          Fair enough, well thanks for planting the seed it's a magnificient forum. It's refreshing that it hasn't degenerated to the level of other well known forums as it has continued to grow. Says something about the culture of the place and obviously the people who pull the strings behind the scenes.

                          As an aside maybe you should have a little cape next to your username rather than the red or blue box to indicate you are online.
                          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                            Thanks. Keeping the stadard of debate above flame wars was something that was important to us all when we started the site. Making a high standard of debate is kind of the whole raison d'etre of WOOF.

                                The problem is I have a strong urge to sing American Pie all the time now.
