What we need is a Burgey team multi so they can post their real opinions (of him), obviously not when on duty, in their off time, else that would just get confusing.

To be honest if the Burgey team are going to keep on posting on his behalf, the mods need to step in & see to it that his post count doesn't going up, since they're technically not Burgey posts. It'd be like TOTAB adding runs to his all-time record scored by Ian Healy. It's just not on.

It just takes away from the general nature of the dire Burgey posts, some thing I am not comfortable with.

Pratters, I am happy for you to reach this conclusion, but if this discussion is going to continue then you should send me a picture of yourself.

Well at 57 000+ posts think that ship has already sailed..... I mean how does any one person have that much time?

A reminder folks on how this all started.

TBF, who wants to play cricket on dead flat pitches against home track bullies with a ****** cricket ball in a country full of bugs and insects who want to kill you. Plus the terrible food. All orchestrated by a corrupt and money hungry cricket board.

Australia is an awful place to tour.
Don't forget the terrible disadvantage for touring teams here of actually having safe drinking water from a tap. Must be hard for them.

Compare that to TOTAB who not only made a ton in his first tour to India, but did it while surrounded by an open sewer in Chennai ffs. That's how tough he is.
...

Not to mention Australian Masterchef is the envy of every other food show on the planet.

Nigella week atm. Makes old Burgey a very happy man, I can tell you.
omg you don't actually think this do you Burgey
Oh yeah. It's a core belief.
Disappointed in you. After all these years I thought you'd know what good flavours are.

You really need to do a proper food tour of Asia someday. While you can still manage it.
I've done all that mate. You might think it's terribly novel as an experience but it isn't.

Aside from the culinary wonders of Indonesia, I of course spent many years in the 1990s in Mumbai, drinking bottled water and hoping against hope I wouldn't be served salmonella in a bowl.

That aside, The Indian Palace, Chon, Blue Ginger, Efendy, The Bald Viet, Le Tran, Mushiro, Thai Yai, Kazbah all provide me with an excellent taste of pan-Asian cuisine. Don't even have to leave Darling Street to get it. Plus the Balmain Hotel does $1.00 dumplings of a Monday night.

Why would you live anywhere else?
This has to be one of the most depressing posts I've ever read

Burgey: Lets go to Delhi and I guarantee you you will love the street food places I take to. Lets do it.
