What sort of name is Sem? Well, when Harry's family arrived in Australia from eastern Europe his mother was asked at Immigration to give the names of her children. Harry's real middle name was Sam but when his mother pronounced it with her thick eastern European accent, the Immigration official thought she'd said Sem so that was the middle name which was recorded, and Harry kept it.
Harry was a died-in-the-wool Collingwood supporter. He went to most games and Collingwood's travails and successes were his favourite topic of conversation.
Harry (Sem) died of cancer last year. Sadly, he missed last year's premiership. His daughters wore Collingwood scarves at his funeral. |
i too vaguely remember a few sem posts. sorry for your loss mate. xxx

With Round Zero coming, I posted a likely team, ins/outs since the GF and some considered opinion aimed to drive discussion, engagement and participation. Wake up this morning and its been completely removed or at best filed away with the Penski File!
Disappointing, because as a 10 year contributor on here, I have enjoyed the back & forth and passion of fellow Nicksters.
Take care everybody!! Pies 2024 #backtowork |
We already had a Round Zero thread running, which yours was merged with, but your version should stand alone why? |

Young people use global social media platforms.
Nicks is very niche.
No kids use bulletin boards that are only text based.
Very difficult to put up video and images on Nicks.
Social media juggernauts have the field covered.
Run Nicks as long as possible.
But it is doomed eventually. |

It was moved into the GWS vs Pies pre-match thread where it belonged.

language changes over time.
English in the 17th century is completely alien to what is spoken now.
So get to liiiiiike the new idioms and sentence structures. |

Vinyl .
It flickers on the extreme edge.
Vinyl reminds me of home brew.
About one percent of the population does it.
Even with the massive tax breaks the plebs rarely do it. |

Welcome back Dale.
During your absence we lost H.A.L. to the Matrix. All of the cyber-security scams and viruses since have tin-heads digits all over them.
