Thanks Hemingway for providing an antidote to the current pressing time.

 I also "like people to sense the vitality of youth but also sense the ever present possibility of loss and indeed death." 

"There are many wise young people and many older people who are unfamiliar with the  the term". Obvious and yet curiously rarely stated. Never a truer statement has been included within the offerings of Dland, it is these pearls that keep me gravitating to the site.

"I like decency, courtesy and respect." as long as it allows for the rantings we witness here.

"I like conversation without personal insult or attack. I despise egotists and boasters." One wonders how you can entertain reading Dland but understand that we can all overcome our distate through viewing  of falling/failing standards while  conducting ourselves in an unimpeachable fashion.

l also " know many young people who share those values just as I know many middle aged and older folks who don't. " They are the collective of Dland that contribute every day.

However I think age is important and attitude is what counts. "It is important to understand and learn from history whilst living in the present and giving thought to the future" as every true demon supporter understands more readily than most.

And T R&B I am on the cusp of 65 with an attitude that wants that more immediate success while it is still possible but  building a strong foundation for the future.

I wont be joining Earl and crew but watch their progress with an uplifted sense of pride and hilarity

Thanks dpostive.

I have been in mortal fear that courtesy was dead I now know there are still a few of us left in the world.

I'm 148.   IQ that is.

 

I think it best if I withdraw my application for your tour Ernie.

i am disappointed Bitters because I think you would be a great asset to the tour and a source of great interest to the Spaniards and in particular the Senoritas. 

However, it will at least mean that you cannot be expelled from the country for indiscriminate acts. .

i attended the London Olympics and have never been more disappointed in an international sporting event. Never again. Decided at that time that Rio was off my list.

Since then Ernest we have discovered that the Ruskies were cheating on a grand scale. Even sanctioned by their government.

How does that make you feel after all the money you contributed?

You have to attend the Winter Olympics, Ernie. They are far more exciting. Plus, due to the cold climate, warming shots of whiskey never go awry.

You are not turning old and cynical and, dare I say it, "bitter" are you OD?

 

Well I suppose you can't turn old. But what about cynical and bitter?

think having winter olympics in the arabian peninsular makes perfect sense, bbo. emulating the ancient traditions of the bedouin.

The Bedouin were basically decent blokes dc. Could get excitable on occasion but generally liked to relax at the oasis and enjoy the odd date. Camel lovers though!

You know the old story bb! It was all a question of whether or not you were quick enough to catch a good looking camel

I think you have to get over this attitude bb. Some of the worst sickos imaginable are on Demonland. Your worst extravagances are normal here. Just consider dc's immoral and unnatural hobbies.

Don't worry DC we will meet plenty of Bedouins on our grand Cairo to Constantinople tour. We are due to head off in August, a balmy 45C by day, so bring the sun screen. I hope you are reading up on your Middle Eastern medieval history for our tour.

i'm sure that will present no problems in saudi arabia, bbo, as i'm sure earl could further tempt you with a [censored] fight or two as a prelude to some authentic belly dancing

Yes this has now become a problem, how do we safely get to the starting point, Cairo! I may have to bring forward the starting date of the tour because we may now have to go by boat to Port Said, that will mean we have to leave about a month earlier than first thought.

I am also determined to push on from Constantinople to meet up with Hemingway and Uncle Bitters in Spain in time for the running of the Bulls! This is turning into a logistical nightmare I admit.

Anyone heard from Bossdog by the way, I had him pencilled in to be forward point for the tour through Syria to pick up on the odd IED before our tour arrives.

The thing is dc, a stoning would have to be tasteful and well organised before I'd be interested.. You know we'd want front row seats and plenty of coldies ( can't risk dehydration in those parts). And we would need someone reliable to hold the bets. You know, " I'll give 5 to 1 that that Abdul's next yonnie takes out her left eye."

I hope Earl Hood has considered the potential needs of his clients.

Etihad fly to Cairo,the 14 hours to Abu Dhabi then the 4 hours to Cairo are still more tolerable than watching a game at the stadium with the same name.

Not thinking flying around Egypt has quite the same attraction currently.

No worries Earl........Just need time to put my artificial legs on.    I am an expert at finding bombs
