Sheeeit....!!  Uncle Bitters, Biffo, Daisy Cutter, Maple Dee, Old Dee maybe one or two others and yourself Hemingway as "Forward Scout" would appear to be a great party of eclectic visionary travellers!! When do we leave!????

An end of season trip ? My experience of tour groups has not been a positive one picket, mainly because of different interests and expectations. I suspect Biff and Bitters and even your good self may have some differences that would make group travel a little testing.  Also, I like to rise early in the morning so that in itself may be a problem in stirring the others from their beds or bordellos. Bitters specific peccadilloes would worry me a little. Spanish jails are not places I would recommend. Perhaps Earl may be interested in putting together a tour itinerary using his contacts to get the best deals. There are some wonderful old castles with dungeons that may appeal to some members of the party. Earl may also be useful in acquiring cheap  licquor. I am happy to act as a forward scout and that way l may be able to leave names and addresses of the more sociable senoritas and indeed those who would be sufficiently robust in the clinches for Bitters and Biff. As a forward scout it may be difficult for me to actually meet up with the touring party but that may be an advantage when the Senoritas discover that i have moved on. This would then allow members of the group to fill the void left by my rapid departure. Anyway, it's an interesting proposition as a cultural experience. Let's see what Earl and other members of the tour party think. One has to be careful not to upset other Demonlanders who may also want a guernsey. 

Hmmm. Does D'land have a seconds team?  I might deliberately run into some poor form to ensure I'm dropped or 'managed' so as to get on the reserves tour group.

We aren't looked upon as 'seconds' here, just eccentric

Exactly. That's D'lands Firsts team - The Eccentrics.  I'd like to see someone post the lineup here one day.

What I'm looking for is a place in the Seconds - not eccentric, just NQR.

Interesting and if I may add a "Social Comment" I have often been refered to by friends, relatives, peers, enemies as a 'Different' cat!

So be it! the world is full of acolytes who do nothing to create interest. Whilst not talking about Maelstrom ( no it' s not an Uncle Bitter after shave) I like variation to the norm as long as it doesn't rattle my cage harmony!

Maybe I am NQR and or Eccentric! Many on this site also might agree not just me but see the Esoteric in themselves!?

I think this Thread really is the most interesting on Demonland. Wierd, Wonderful and Wacky ! Just the way I like it!

Don't think we should worry about those players that have left us, we have enough to worry about with those that have stayed.

I think it is more likely to decrease, as we all off howling at the moon and indulging in other 'eccentric' practices ...  

Was it a full moon last Saturday, visible from the Docklands from around 1.45pm?

What a coincidence Ernest! I am currently putting together the itinerary to recreate the 30th anniversary of my epic overland backpacking journey from Cairo to Istanbul of 1987! DLanders are more than welcome to join me. 

Ahh the memories, dysentery in Cairo, climbing Mount Sinai, then the rickety boat to Aqaba, getting bogged in sand in Wadi Rum in a rented 4 wheel drive that turned out to be a 2 wheel drive, no drive shaft to the front wheels, just a minor oversight I know. Then on to the Hotel Karnak in Amman, Jordan, no heating even though it is snowing, leaky toilet systems but luminous light switches so you could see them in the dark which was important because there was never any power available at night anyway but the staff were very polite. Off to Petra and asking the owner of the Musa Springs hostel to fix the leaky water pipe outside only to be told it is Moses' Spring where he tapped the rock twice to provide water to the tribes. Then it is off to Syria the land of stale flat bread and dry homus for breakfast, lunch and tea with a side visit to Palmyra, well what's left of it, then on to Damascus and Alleppo and then a welcome Adani kebab in Turkey. Come on who isn't up for this? 

Let me know so I can book us all in for a 2017 journey of a lifetime!

What an itinerary Earl! Shame I'm incarcerated for the next 25 years and unable to participate. Marriage will do that to you.

Sounds wonderful Earl. 

Next time I start to think" I want to travel through a war zone filled wit h psychotic teenage boys looking for  Western hostages" I shall remember to call you. 

I like to stay within the European zone( which excludes Turkey and anywhere mentioned in the Old Testament .  

Homos in the morning is something white men  normally do in Marrakech.
