    What in the hell is skip tabouli?

    Is that Australian Tabouli or was it rehydrated in an industrial skip?

    Sounds like a fantastic night! I had to go to the Essendon variation at Crown Casino (work is a major sponsor) and sat there all night listening to the Essendon ra-ra and thinking how much better it would be if I was at the Swans. I couldnt believe all of the Hird-hype either - I think I saw him walking on water to get home (then again, it was the Yarra, so walking on that isn't so difficult). It was a good speech by Hird but nothing like Macca's. Can't wait until we down the Dons this year...
    (Food was good, though).

    Would it help if he said McVeigh's face was covered in woad and he was wearing a skirt?

    We'll do anything to hold the pink market so I understand the skirt.

    But was he really on the woad again? I just can't wait to get on the woad again . . .

    I call it whine because that's what happens when most people drink it.

    Skip tabouli is something that is made by a person who is not of middle-eastern extraction.
    It just wasn't like mum's.
    The crushed wheat was like soggy bird food.


    Yes, I know, a bit pedantic ... but when you spend four hours cutting up tabouli, you want it to be right and proper.
    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.

    Dessert was creme brulle with a fancy toffee garnish.

    The whines were exceptional (note, I don't drink whine much, but they were very drinkable) and they served Pure Blonde beer.


    It was classic chicken or beef but without the chicken...

    Entree was OK... Beef was Good. Dessert passable. Overall, not bad for 650 people.

    Wines were a ok... but what else would you expect for De Bortoli?? Surely you'd reckon you'd get a glass of their only decent wine with dessert. Not to much to ask I reckon.
