    I'm not joking when I say I still respect Warwick Capper because he played for the Swans

      Sat through a million losing games in a row (and kept coming back for more).
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

            Thats worth an entry!

            Im keeping my crazy thing a surprise. You can see it on the TV ad once it is broadcast
            If the siren sounds in Tasmania, and the umpires don't hear it, does it make a sound?

                Ah, no Bas. I would like to point you in the direction of a reference book called the Karma Sutra which may help you understand the true meaning of parking.

                  Warwick was a darn good footballer (or in modern paralance, footy player,...cough,cough, I cringe when I hear that term) and a good bloke also.

                    Maybe "catching a tram" is a euphemism.

                      Maybe Scott, but I have never heard "it" referred to as "catching a tram" and trams didn't run in the early hours of the morning back then.

                        My brother did in 2007 . Luckily for him the Swans didn't make it.

                        In 2005 I endured a 12 hour overnight train trip to get to the GF and another overnighter to get home. Then in 2006 I did the same but by bus as I couldn't get on the train.
                        Red & White forever.

                          Great to hear. I would have liked to have seen him have a greater role in the 2005 celebrations.
