The Bye weekend

[CJK]

Really? FFS, was looking forward to a lazy walk down the road of for a weekend footy fix.

Who are the ex-Swans with Balmain these days? Is Fosdike still coach?

Fosdike is coaching. Luffy, Jason Saddington, Nick Davis and Tim Schmidt are all playing there. Drummoyne's a great spot for watching footy - especially on a sunny day.

If it wasn't a Friday night, a mate (an evil Manly supporter) and I (a Tiger fan) would have made the trip up. Will have to put up with Rabbits and Channel 9 I guess.

I didn't know that "Save Us" was still getting around. Is he still a mercurial genius? Is he fit enough to slot in our forward line?

Bummer. Port Melbourne also have a bye in the VFL. Might have to head over to Packer Reserve to watch South Melborne Districts' Swans take on Glen Eira in VAFA Division 2.

OK, looks like a new thread. What the Old Boys are REALLY like when they play footy after retirement. Stay tuned.

And you guessed right 3B, no. Did all my League thing when I followed Kiz's father round with starrie eyes way back; and Junior,and heaven help me Kerry as well.

Just keep the cake out of Tim Schmidt's sight......

Did you organise your wedding around the bye weekend? Nice!

Thanks Scott.

BS it all sort of fell into place unnoticed. Bride-to-be did ask "when's the Swans game?" and I just said they have a bye that weekend and no more was said. What would I be doing otherwise but hiding macarons from chunky Nicky D while watching Balmain with Primmy? But my advance planning fades to insignificance against Stella's genius. I want Stella as my personal trainer!

I'm going to make an effigy of Ray Chamberlain and stick pins in it!

The woman's a genius! Almost like Mrs Kirky when she sent the Captain off to play International Rules instead of going on their honeymoon. Have a great weekend and a better wedding!

Thank heavens the bye was this week and not last. After Bubbles Chamberlain's big steal, would have been a very very long period to be cranky!

Interesting fixturing though - bye then two away games. Withdrawals will well and truly have kicked in by the time the Saints game comes around.

Hopefully their form will have hit a speed bump by then too - typical we didn't get a crack at em when they were still feeling sick and sorry for themselves after their 2010 heartbreak. I certainly thought they wouldn't get off the canvas this season, but they have done it pretty well (darn it!)

Us southern supporters had to wait 9 rounds after rnd 1 for another game in Melb. The fixture has been rubbish this year.

You are a treasure Stella. Close to Drummoyne Oval, and I am lazy, I will go there.

Not a cake person.....but can murder macarons. May even add that to my list!

Not a cake person? I... but.... I... just.... I...

I'll be down at Adriano Zumbo's around 10.30 on Saturday picking up our wedding cake. Maybe see you in the macaron queue?

Congratulations, GS! Best of luck for the day, I hope the weather is good and everything runs smoothly. What sort of cake did you opt for? It's Goody Stella's birthday that day as well, I'm planning on making her a victoria sponge.

[Triple B]

While we are on the theme, it's my birthday on Sunday AND my wedding anniversary. The missus wanted to make it a date I couldn't forget.

Only 6 or so weeks until Zumbo's new shop opens at 'The Star'....

I'm at the mercy of my youngest daughter and boyfriend who are taking us out for dinner to an as yet undisclosed location....
