    Yeah I recall seeing Doug on that day. It was just an amazing day overall.

    I took the train in from the eastern suburbs and the train had a lot of happy Bulldogs supporters. At Flinders Street station I remember the announcer saying for the Whitten Oval take the next train

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

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

        Must have been a bloody big branch.

          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.

              Michael Richards was amazing in that scene. That episode is "The Jimmy".

                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.

                  Hilarious. I still watch an episode of Seinfeld here and there. Still laugh out loud too. Love it
