i too vaguely remember a few sem posts. sorry for your loss mate. xxxHarrysz wrote:My longest standing friend was Harry. Harry's middle name was Sem. Harry first told me about Nicks. He would occasionally post under the name Sem.
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.

We already had a Round Zero thread running, which yours was merged with, but your version should stand alone why?inxs88 wrote:Like many, the policies of this board in merging topics and failing to stimulate new discussion and content are at best over-officious and petty and at worst tiresome, anachronistic and demotivating.
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
[quote="lazzadesilva"]Year I’m a longtime old poster in his mid 60’s. What’s your solution to this problem? How can we stop this decline and slow death from happening? What do you suggest? Not having a go at you but genuinely asking your opinion? I would hate Nick’s to die. Where else can I waste time?

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