bbo, if i might suggest that if the squeeze was most unimpressed that next time you do a grand yarra valley wine grazing extravaganza that you take stuie along instead

that way you might be able resolve your apparent (and very public) mutual cyber stalking of each other over a glass or two

you could either glass each other or partake in some real stalking (so to speak)

High Noon in the Yarra Valley? Would have to have alpacas as seconds ...

Sorry boss. How's the detox going? Skin clearing up? Figure back?

Back at the Manor. It seems poor old Bitters remains unforgiven for his Yarra Valley excesses. The squeeze decided to cook curried chicken sausages. Seemed a bit strange but a message was being delivered.

Your correspondent had to sit in the Manor's Michelin level kitchen and watch this being prepared.

The symbolism was quite unsubtle.

The sausages were boiled.

The sausages were skinned with surgical precision.

The sausages were chopped ....

It's odd you know. The squeeze is more pizzed about the Yarra Valley fiasco than when I left her friends in Canberra after the Manuka Oval disaster.

Maybe the fact that I passed out during the luxury accom part of the deal had something to do with it.

As I said - I don't understand sheilas.

Yarra Valley weekend away, missus on the prowl, good food, good wine, romantic atmosphere..... and you get pizzed and pass out.

No wonder she's dissapointed. Surprised she's only butchering the curried sausages.

He's certainly in dangerous territory Earl. Hope the knife wasn't particulary sharp and he's up to date with his tetanus immunisations.

Yes a mob of Roos.

In fact think of the impact on Aussie History if Alpacas had turned up here

You do understand you've already featured in a Rod Stewart massive hit? Red(Hot)legs

Your poor old Uncle Bitter has just come in from completing some shovel work at the Manor. It's about 6c here atm. Let's just say if I was a brass monkey , I'd be looking for a soldering iron.

I'll bet KC is glad he's not at Casey today.
