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?

[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?

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

Nicks is very niche.
No kids use bulletin boards that are only text based.

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.

This is an unofficial Bulletin Board - owned and run by its users. We welcome all fans of the Mighty Collingwood Football Club.
