Thanks for the explaination Val, I was on the same line as Janine.  OH football, that's where I bow out.

Janine: it was a report about a football match, in which the supporters of one team threw a banana at a black player of the other team. The banana is seen as a form of racist abuse towards black players. It is pure racism: do not try and understand it as it is not worth the effort.

Sounds like a good deal, Erni. I should apologize for my bad attitude about overripe bananas--it slips out every now and then.

Anzhi angered by Lokomotiv's Samba banana row claims

Anzhi Makhachkala have criticised Lokomotiv Moscow's "interference" after the Moscow club claimed its fans did not throw a banana at Chris Samba.

Lokomotiv spokesman Denis Novoselov angered Anzhi vice-president German Chistyakov by saying it was "thrown by a fan of the Dagestani [Anzhi]".

Chistyakov said: "It seems FC Lokomotiv is trying to interfere in the investigation... with this statement.

"We are confident this is nothing but an absolute nonsense and foolishness."

“We demand [Lokomotiv] provide us with the conclusive evidence, or immediate and official refutation with an apology to our fans and the club."

Anzhi had called on Lokomotiv to identify the fan who threw a banana at former Blackburn defender Samba in Sunday's game, which hosts Lokomotiv won 1-0.

Those are too ripe. About 12 brown spots too many.

Welcome back, Big Banana! And welcome to the newbie bananas, too! Dean is back from his trip to the Canary Islands, and i am away on my trip to Athens. Last night thought of ya awl while I ate a banana/choco cream pie (small piece)!

WOW Mike, a real work of art.  Can you really draw a banana?  I have to cut them out of supermarket ads.  I always think about the guy who has his master's in photography from a big University, and his job is to take photos of bananas for supermarket ads.  I wonder if he gets to eat his subjects after the photo shoot?
