    You need help

     

     

     

    The famous skits are timeless, but most of it is pretty annoying to me. But thats me having grown up with my dad quoting it over and over.

     

    I'm not putting the likes of Fast Forward in the same league as Monty Python, but at the time, Fast Forward was the funniest thing on Australian TV and I looked forward to it each week. Now when I see re-runs of it on Channel 11 I cant believe I used to find that shit funny.

  2. Here's a transcript of the treaty between John Batman and the local tribal chiefs at the time:

    If anything 1835 is a year that would be more sensitive as it was when some smelly, disease ridden Europeans came and bought a shit load of land for some blankets and knives. 

  3. I'm coming up from Warrnambool for this as I feel this is fundamentally important for the club and fans. I'm even going to brave the white line fever and drive home again afterwards. This is our chance to get involved in the new regime and as a foundation member of Heart, and a Yarraside regular we owe it to those who paved the way to get involved and continue their legacy. I'm disappointed that Yarraside is over and wish it was different, but we cannot dwell on the past or the opposition supporters will win. I'm willing to do my part even though I live almost 300ks away, and I'm looking forward to the new era to begin.

    Having said that is like to thank Yarraside for everything they have done for us and their legacy shall not die if I can do/say something about it. Much respect to Y-Side... you will be missed terribly.

    Perfect attitude AJ! I'll try and make it on Monday to offer any advice i can, if its wanted.

  4. Quick question. Are the two main capos that both took charge throughout the season (don't know their names) apart of the core group?

     

    They are both senior members and support the decision made. But there is nothing stopping them from joining the new active group if they wish.

  5. Not run by the club.

    Run by MHFC Index, who've been around for years providing Heart news, etc.

     

    Yeah definitely not run by the club.

     

    Probably just some bitter Heart supporters who want some attention.
