25.01.2022 THE ROOSTERS ARE INTO THE GRAND FINAL! - With the help of the sympathetic Uploots, the human population associated with the Caxton Valley Australian Football League manage to escape the war torn planet of Greshloot 7, thanks to a diversion created by stars from the Australian soap 'A Country Practice.' As they return to Earth through a portal to the township of Mutton Gully, they find that they are unable to play their finals series due to current pandemic restrictions in Victoria. However, by using the time portals they discover that they can play the finals in historical times & places that are unaffected by strict, but necessary heath based, behavioural rules. The Roosters adapted well to playing in the olden days & have booked themselves a date for the big dance. Go Roosters! https://bodgycreekcommunitypodcast.com/?p=158
25.01.2022 Breaking News!! - Trump sacks all but one of his treating doctors at Walter Reed Hospital.
25.01.2022 Despite being bed ridden for most of her early adult life, Harriet Furlong would prolifically write songs about her favourite subject: her beloved Bodgy Creek R...oosters Football Club. Talented as she was, the ribald nature of the songs, saw them rarely sung publically. Below are the lyrics to one her more controversial tributes to Full Back Fred '3 Legs' Hanlon If you head on down to Bodgy Creek You'll spy a Rooster on your way He'll likely have his strides undone And his todger on display Don't slow down to see the show Just give him a wave & a toot He may be gifted down below, but he's also a lousy coot It's in proportion & a decent size And no-one in town will dispute But if his eyes widen & it starts to rise It's time for you to scoot When you get home later that day Folk will no doubt want to know Just tell them you saw a poultry display That could take out the Easter Show

20.01.2022 Jane Austen’s Melbourne Pandemic Chronicles #1 ‘Mama! I have only now heard the splendid news from Dr Sutton, that should the malady numbers continue to fall, I may, as an unwedded spinster, once more visit the estate of Miss Bingley at Basildon Park. If we were to meet upon the gardens, and not frequent the manor house, I could perhaps also venture to take Mary, Jane & Catherine. The hour may not exceed 2 & the number of the party may not exceed 5. ’Tis to be a masked reunion, of that there can no equivocation: Dr Sutton is quite firm on the matter. Mama, I must insist that Lydia not be privy to our plans. Her fickleness is notorious & she would likely take flight with the nearest hipster that did pass by our entourage in pursuit of an errant toss of the frisbee.’

19.01.2022 It was traditional in the Theodore Raynard's family for the males to be married in the deep sea diver suit first worn by his grand father George Raynard in 1851.... His father, also a deep sea diver, had followed suit in 1879. Despite not being a deep sea diver and in fact never once even entering the ocean, Theodore carried on the family tradition in 1910 when marrying his Bodgy Creek childhood sweetheart Fanny Gorrange. This is the last known photo of Theodore. Unused to supporting so much weight, he sadly broke his neck during the bridal waltz and died instantly. www.bodgycreekcommunitypodcast.com

18.01.2022 There is still plenty of work to do to turn things around in Melbourne, so I've moved up to Stage 11 restrictions. I can ONLY drink while being chased by a rodeo clown eat while being watched by a Clydesdale exercise with the Bronte Sisters wash in a hotel lobby water feature... watch unedited school concert videos on playback buy things previously owned by a town planner have conversations with jockeys in saunas on Skype ... read the room ... wear myself out #damiancallinansselfisolationtips #damiancallinanselfimposedstagerestrictions See more

11.01.2022 Thanks to our eagle eyed fan and star extra, Peter Simpfendorfer, for pointing out that 'The Merger' is playing on Channel 10, this Saturday, November 21st after the Rugby International between Australian & Argentina. At least one underdog will win on the night.
11.01.2022 I'm hosting this night of home spun mirth tomorrow night [September 26th] The line up is brilliant & includes Josh Earl Comedian, Ben Knight, Michelle Brasier, Diana Nguyen & Kirsty Webeck. Trent McCarthy is also doing bit & all proceeds go to his Greens campaign for the Darebin Council Elections. I haven't told Trent yet, but our place is the Labor Party campaign office, so I may have to move a few things out of my Zoom shot. See you there-ish!
08.01.2022 To help move the pandemic recovery along in Melbourne, I have graduated myself to Stage 10 restrictions. So far, so good - I can ONLY drink sap straight from the trunk of Japanese Maples; eat the ‘do not eat’ silica sachets in food packaging; wear 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games volunteer uniforms; exercise during earth tremors; communicate via a left handed spiritual medium; watch community television reflected off another surface; listen to poetry recordings read by Daleks; read propaganda pamphlets dropped from a crop duster & dream about sea lions playing Uno with the Pope on a river barge. #damiancallinansselfisolationtips #damiancallinanselfimposedstagerestrictions
07.01.2022 Jane Austen’s Melbourne Pandemic Chronicles #2 ‘Mr Darcy, I must implore you to intercede on behalf of our family. If word were to permeate beyond the walls of Longbourn House, that my troublesome sister Lydia planned to nominate Mr Wycombe as her intimate partner, our family would be irreparably scandalised. You were right to question his character and I beg forgiveness in doubting the nobility of your intention. The man is a scoundrel and worthy only of the company of his s...ingle bubble. Perhaps you would grant me the honour of taking a turn around the gardens of Pemberley, so that we might delineate a plan to bring his villainy to heel. Dr Sutton has assented approval of such social engagements, as long as the parties involved remain outdoors and maintain a constant distance of 4.92 feet for the period of the perambulation. What say you Mr Darcy? Alas, I find your mien difficult to read behind your herringbone, tweed mask.’ #JaneAustensMelbournePandemicChronicles
07.01.2022 Great news! The Bodgy Creek Roosters away team rooms are finally finished. No more changing in their cars for the visiting teams.

Look out for the new season of Night Terrace on BBC4 in November. https://bodgycreekcommunitypodcast.com/?p=158
06.01.2022 Jane Austen’s Melbourne Pandemic Chronicles #3 'Mama, our minds mind are quite made up on the matter. Mr Darcy is indeed a most agreeable gentleman of noble intention, kindly disposition & exemplary standing. He has made clear how ardently he loves & admires me, and I have conveyed the reciprocation of my affections in the most emphatic terms. However, we are in agreement that, until such time as government restrictions on weddings are eased, we shall not engage in a nuptial ...ceremony. An outdoor wedding with numbers limited to 5 simply will not do. I know Jane Austen novels always end with the female protagonist blissfully entering holy matrimony, but on this occasion the reader will have to settle with Miss Eliza Bennett moving into Pemberley with Mr Darcy in a de facto circumstance. I believe that the unchecked contagion that has beset the counties, will mitigate any lingering scandal. You & papa will be most welcome to visit once the ban on non-essential travel beyond 3.11 miles has been lifted.' #JaneAustensMelbournePandemicChroniclesJane Austen’s Melbourne Pandemic Chronicles #2 See more

05.01.2022 I was just thinking the other day, that no-one has suffered more this year than property investors with interests in heritage hotels in the slums of Sorrento. Finally the High Court is being used to focus on real injustice.

03.01.2022 At 11.59pm tonight, there will be a couple of tweaks to Stage 4 Restrictions in Melbourne, with curfew extended by an hour & single people having to clean their house for the first time in 2 months. To mark this slight easing of conditions, I’m also going to pull back on some of my self-imposed restrictions.
