The No T$ No B$ Thread

Greetings from Havana I was hoping to catch up with Hemingway but can't find him. I have been to all his old drinking holes but no sign of him. Otherwise the weather is very balmy and the rum is flowing freely in between my official engagements of course.

does havana remind you of fitzroy, earl?

Earl I am told he spends this time of the year in Key West!

[daisycutter 29,613]

Earl, hope you've kept up your membership of the knights hospitallers. It should still open plenty of doors for you in havana

[DemonFrog 1,354]

Gee, it's quiet around here lately.

Where is our old mate, Jazza?

How nice to hear from you Earl. I trust you are exploiting another 3rd world economy for personal gain.

Do you intend arranging some of those 357 visas to get some decent (and cheap) help?

[Biffen 12,943]

Nice one Earl.

Hope you are Havana good time.

Worst pun ever!!!!

[Biffen 12,943]

Worst pun ever!!!!

I nearly apologised for it but then I thought-nah,,,f&*k 'em.

I am with you in spirit Earl. However when you have been lying around for as long as have its hard to become energised. It's all changed so much that I am sure I would not recognise my old haunts. My old flames are also the worse for wear. it's depressing to think that Cuba is now being viewed as a market by the imperial powers and its old foe is now seeking to exploit it shamelessly. I would love to go back to my old Cuba but alas it has gone. Never go back is my motto. The memories are all that matter.

I have it from a reliable source (Chris Judd's grandmother) that BBO has another month holiday from Land. Thank god for that! His mindless drivel, crass humour and down right slovenly ways are a blight on this fine forum. I put it to the mods that upon his ungrateful return, he be given the all time mother of jolly good floggings, preferably delivered by special robert or enyaw.

What has he done this time?

How curious. On the mobile skin

When someone  quotes another you see the quote but not it's  author.

[daisycutter 29,613]

seeing as how demonland was unavailable to all for a day, will uncle bitters get an extra day added to his sentence?

just curious

 

p.s. why the automatic double spacing? isn't down sizing all the rage?

No WJ, I'm not certain. Just a wild guess for amusement.

Ernest I could have sworn we were together in spirits, gallons of them,  the other night at the Hotel Ambos Mundos. I know I had had a few too many Cuban Libre's but I was sure it was you.

While Fidel lives the Revolucion continues! But not after he goes I agree. I am here on assignment with only the best interests of Cuba as my guiding principle of course. Tomorrow I head west toward the mountains with my brother in law who owns a vacuum cleaner franchise in Havana. I am not sure why but he has been acting rather odd lately, we are going to be looking for installations or something in the jungles apparently? Thought with your knowledge you might have some idea what is going on.

Don't drink the whiskey! And don't put your thumb over the lens when you're photographing the list of spies.

Earl you are a man after my own heart. An adventurer who will experience Cuba to the full.  You sound like a wise worldly man but be careful. I found in Cuba that your friends could also become your enemies. I woke up many mornings after a big night grateful to be alive, relieved that my throat had not been slashed. The mention of mountains and installations has me worried though. Be careful Earl, be very careful. Please keep us posted.
