Sorry

No worries Pete.
Problem solved. Now to get back into the Dykes thread for some riveting discussion.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

My favourite Parra memory is the day I announced to my manly supporting father that I was going to go for Parra. He hated us with a blind fury and the look on his face when I told that cantankerous old merkin my intentions was priceless. This was some time in the very early 80's. As a child, I always got the impression that the old man wasn't too fond of any of his kids and that feeling was duly reciprocated. My love of all things Parra started as a f**k you, you old merkin,to the old boy.
f**k him and f**k manly. merkins!

1981, Cumberland Oval, Eels V Magpies - standing room only and we beat their arses. Never saw a crowd mood like it.

To his credit, he became disillusioned with the M.W.R.L.F.C. after the beagles fiasco. He himself was born and raised in Mosman, back in the days when Mosman (believe it or not) was an uncouth outer suburb of Sydney. His mother who he loved dearly? was a staunch Bears supporter.
He no longer watches league on a weekly basis ( he would watch the finals) but will happily try to regale me with the trials and tribulations of the Waratahs and Wallabies when they play. I tell him to keep that yawnion shit to himself.

Playing Manly back in 2005, at Parramatta Stadium, and the chants towards Terry Hill:

"Terry's a wanker!"

It was epic.

Our 74-4 defeat of Cronulla. My friend and I, like total morons, sat in the front row, and heckled Matthew Rieck all night by yelling, "Number 5!" You can still hear it on the DVD! We were such idiots haha.

Every try that day was a length of the field effort. Awesome day at the footy
