24.01.2022 Feeling a bit melancholy tonight writing my last Parma Night post. I worked out it is the 307th post for Parma Night. Poor old Kath has been the fodder for a lot of those posts as have a few other locals (Whippet Nye comes to mind). It’s been great fun writing them after a couple of Brandy ‘n Cokes (or more) in the shed. I will certainly miss it. Hope you have had a laugh along the way and here is one last ALMOST true story to finish off: A couple of local blokes (who shall ...remain un-named, let’s call them Merv and Tony) headed out fishing at Toc a couple of weeks ago and after a few beers in the boat Merv said to Tony: Mate, if I snuck over to your place and had wild sex with your Mrs while you were out and she got knocked up and had a kid, would that make us related? Tony replied: Well mate, I dunno whether that would make us related, but it sure would make us even. Ya don’t want to know what happened next. That somehow leads me into tomorrow night’s PARMA ‘n POT Night. Lachie and Wilfred (aka Jon) have come up with: THE CRACKERJACK: Napoli, Mozarella topped with Crispy Bacon, Three Cheese Sauce and Crumbled Ritz Crackers. THE BRUSCHETTA: Napoli, Mozarella topped with a Bruschetta Mix of Cherry Tomato, Red Onion, Basil and Parmesan with a drizzle of Balsamic Glaze THE PORKER: Napoli, Mozarella topped with Slow Cooked Pulled Pork in a rich Chilli and Smoky BBQ Sauce and a dollop of Sour Cream. THE TRADITIONAL: Napoli, Smoky Ham and Cheese. All only $15.50 (M) or $16.75 (NM) inc a Pot or Glass of Whispers House Wine. For all Online and Phone Orders for delivery as well as Pick Up orders, you have your choice of a range of soft drinks (You can add what you like when they arrive- Scotch, Bourbon, etc). Full Menu also available Cheers, GG See more

23.01.2022 Did anyone experience any difficulties with Order Up tonight? Cheers, GG

23.01.2022 To everyone that has wished us well, our sincere thanks. If I tried to reply to everybody the Brandy and Coke would kick in half way through and I would be talking Congolese or some other strange language. We are staying in the area, building in Barooga again, so Kath can have her Vegie Garden and Chooks. Our watering hole will still be the Pub, so we will still catch up with everybody. Planning a big party for the weekend before we hand over and will keep everybody updated. ...Our Shout!!! The least we can do for all the support we have been given. Cheers, Kath and GG See more

23.01.2022 Last night Order Up was Closed for Delivery. This was my knacker-up as I had closed it for delivery on Sunday night for the stock take night and when I changed it back on Monday morning, I forgot to save before I exited. Deliveries are definitely available as you will now see. It wasn’t a good night for me last night, our first night home together for a bloody long time. Kath went to the toilet and when she came back down to the Shed, I was running around with a rolled ...up copy of the Herald Sun. She said: What are you doing ya silly old beggar? I said: Swatting flies. So far I have got 3 males and 2 females. How do you know what gender they were? Kath said. Easy I said, 3 were on my stubbie and 2 were on your phone. It got ugly. Trying to read the Parmas for tomorrow nights Parma n Pot night with one eye (the other ones black) I think they are: THE SEAFOOD: Napoli, Cheese topped with a Medley of Seafood in a Creamy White Wine Sauce THE CHEESY VEGO: Napoli, Cheese topped with a Mix of Seasonal Vegetables in a Cheesy Spinach Sauce and Crispy Sweet Potato Chips THE NONNA: Napoli, Cheese topped with 5 Hour Slow Cooked Beef and Veal Mince in a Tomato and Fresh Herb Sauce finished with Parmesan Cheese THE TRADITIONAL: Napoli, Smoky Ham and Cheese All for $15.50 (M) or $16.75 (NM) inc. a Pot or Glass of Very Beneficial House Wine For all online and phone orders you have a House Made Dessert coming your way.

20.01.2022 Had a bloke come in to the Bar on Friday arvo (never seen him before). He was out of breath and red faced and he said: Gimme 5 schooners of Draught - quick. So I poured him 5 schooners (assuming he had mates coming) and he skulled the bloody lot of them. I said to him: Mate, how come you’re drinking so fast?. He said: You’d drink fast too if you had what I’ve got, these will be my last Schooners. Of course, I felt sorry for him and said I’m sorry mate, what have you ...got? He said: 35 cents I got a helluva blast from Kath. Tomorrow nights Parmas are worth a lot more than 35 cents, have a crack at these bad boys: THE PRAWN CURRY- Napoli, Cheese topped with Grilled Baby Prawns in a Housemade Thai Curry Sauce and Crispy Hokkien Noodles THE DOUBLE CHOOK- Napoli, Cheese topped with Bite Size Chicken Dumplings in a Rich Italian Sauce with Garlic Bread.

17.01.2022 We’ve got an Irish bloke who comes into the pub every afternoon and orders two schooners at the same time. Everyone knows him. When he first started doing it, I asked him why he did it. He said I promised me brother in Ireland that I would always have a schooner for him while I was in Australia. This went on for three years until last week when he walked into the bar and said GG, One schooner please. The whole bar went silent. I gave him his schooner and said Really ...sorry about your brother. He said What?

14.01.2022 I went to the Doctors the other day for a check up and he asked me: Do you do any dangerous sports? I said: Well, sometimes I back chat Kath. I’ll give you an example- Years ago, when Kath and I were going out for dinner with a few friends, she walked out of the bedroom and said: Glenn, can I go out in this dress?.

13.01.2022 I had a dream the other night that I was fishing off the Queensland coast with Tony Tomata and Whippet when a Mermaid swam up to the boat. She offered us one wish each. Tomata said Double my IQ. So the Mermaid did it and he started quoting Shakespeare. I was so impressed I asked her to Triple my IQ and straight away I started solving maths problems I didn’t know existed. Whippet was watching all this and said Quadruple my IQ. The Mermaid asked if he was sure and he said ...Yes. She turned him into a woman. I woke up in a cold sweat. Thinkin’ about fish, how dumb are Sardines? They put themselves in a tin, close the lid and leave the key on the outside. Nothing fishy about tomorrow nights PARMA ‘n POT Night. Lachie and Wilfred tell me these are the go: THE BREKKIE- Napoli, Cheese topped with Smoky Bacon, Grilled Onion and Potato Hash THE PESTO- Napoli, Cheese topped with Salami, Red Capsicum, Leek, Cherry Tomatoes in a Nutty Pesto Sauce.

09.01.2022 The other night I was doing a few figures in the shed over a stubby. I said to Kath, Get out the calculator and add these up: 11+7+9.

08.01.2022 To borrow the words of that immortal used car salesman Joey The Shark, have I got a deal for you!!!. (Whenever you utter these words you MUST have a half chomped cigar in the corner of your mouth and be wearing at least 3 gold necklaces). As a way of saying Thanks for your support for all ORDER UP orders either online or by phone Tonight, when you order 2 mains, you will get the lesser value main FREE. When ordering online, simply click on the Specials tab at the top o...f the menu items and follow the prompts from there. After you have ordered your special deal, you can then proceed to order more from the menu. For anyone ordering over the phone, just mention the 2-4-1 deal and we will take the value of a meal off your order. Any questions you may have, just ring me on 0400443319 and I will help you out. Once again, a big Thank You for your support during these strange times. Cheers, GG See more

07.01.2022 Must have NSW RCA and RCG. The hotel operation is 7 days a week. Award rates apply.

07.01.2022 As it is our last night, Sunday night, there are a few things we need to attend to before the change over on Monday morning. One of these things is a stock take which needs to happen Sunday. As a consequence, Order Up will not be available Sunday night. Our apologies but it is a big job. Everything will return to normal Monday night. The Bistro and Bar will also be closed from 6pm to enable this to take place. Cheers Kath

04.01.2022 Just read the article in today’s Courier re the sale of the Pub. Was quite disappointed that there was no mention of all the support we have had from Cobram, only Barooga. This is not how it was put to the reporter. I talked to him about community which means the Cobram/ Barooga community. I will talk to the Courier today re putting this right. Cheers, GG

04.01.2022 Well, I guess Fathers Day will look a lot different this year with all the restrictions.

04.01.2022 Save $3 on all orders thru Order Up tonight with free delivery. Cheers, GG

03.01.2022 My Humble apologies. Everyone who ordered a PARMA from our specials tonight was supposed to be offered a soft drink of their choice. I forgot to tick 5 boxes that activate this online. (I was going to throw Kath under the bus for this one but the ramifications would have been HUGE) So here’s what we’ll do: Next Wednesday Night anybody ordering Specials Parmas online get not only their choice of a can of soft drink but a dessert as well. Hope this makes up for my blue. Cheers, GG

01.01.2022 Well, this is something I didn’t think I would be writing about for quite a while yet. We have been at the pub for almost five and a half years now and have enjoyed every minute of those years. We have made some good friends and have had some great times and hopefully been good community citizens. We were made an offer on the pub recently that was just too hard to refuse and have accepted. Our last day will be November 16th. We have been made offers previously and althou...gh the money was right, the people weren’t, as we were not prepared to hand the pub over to people who didn’t have a sense of community and have a sense of care for the more vulnerable in our community. The new owners are experienced publicans who know the importance of community interaction and empathy towards the less fortunate. We have met with them several times and we are confident that they will be great contributors to the area (I will probably still have to write the jokes for them on Parma Nights) We look forward to catching up with everybody over the next 8 weeks and rest assured there will be a shindig before we go to thank everybody for supporting us over the years. Cheers Kath and GG

01.01.2022 It’s FREE DELIVERY FRIDAY at Order Up tonight, save $3 on all orders. Cheers, GG
