Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

That would be an appropriate place for the "Bombers" to play.
Yaeh, funny you should say that, and continuing on the Dubai banter, I am sure the secret police here are watching my every move seeing as I am forever typing Bombertalk into my google search on the office computer!!!!

Was in a lift during the season talking to another Aussie mate and made a comment about how the Bombers "would blow them away on the weekend"!! Well a couple of the Arab boys in the lift looked up with big smiles on their face as if to say "welcome to the cause brother"!!
Haha, at least you're in a place where they may accept such a google "search". It's harder here where you get real concerned looks on faces when they see the bombertalk search on your PC and they've heard you say "I support the Bombers" in conversations over the phone :lol: . Funny times we live in indeed.

You know me too well. I was at the Dome when the announced was made (had an exam) and as I left I found out that they named it Etihad. First thing I said to the security guard "so, Jihad stadium is it?"

At least he found it funny and said that's what they are calling it too.
