sorry to hear you are passed, pf, however you must be mistaken in your geography. there is nothing palatial in romsey nor is there anything remotely resembling a mansion. are you sure you didn't over-inbibe, get lost and end up in caroline springs?

Dear Uncle Bitters, went passed palatial Romsey today ( on business) and spied a gent on the side of a hill on some acreage sunning himself on the Balcony of a palatial mansion with two cucumbers over his eyes sipping a beverage of some description in a state of absolute euphoria! 

Not sure why but i thought of you!!!

Just a question PF.

On the cucumbers:

were they full cucumbers or just cucumber circles?

Also,if the drink wasn't cheap red from a silver bag then it is likely to be a normal decent person and not Bitters.

You can carjack your way from Caroline Springs to the CBD in under 20 minutes now.

Romsey on the other hand is not worth the trip.

Pity you didn't drop in picket. Still I suppose being so close to wealth, class and style overawed you.

PS. I shall ignore the inane chattering above.

LOL Gentlemen, But it was a fine day in Romsey, Daylesford and Ballarat! We will leave Trentham out of the equation for now! Although Trentham Golf Course is a lovely course!!

Well, well, well... what an interesting day it has been on 'Land.

Arguements, mass post deletions, name calling, moderator threats, tears and breaches of poster privacy...

And that's just on the 'Lost Kitten' thread!

Gotta love the personalities in this gin joint!

 

I have graced Lorne tonight with my presence. Is it true Max Gawn's parents run a cafe here? I'm pretty sure they would sell hash cookies.

you should visit romsey for the mid summer's harvest festival, picket. they bring out the the may-pole, drink lots of cider and swap wives. be sure to take a partner, they don't take kindly to single strangers.

Pretty sure Gawny's family cafe is down the Gippsland coast Ethan.

May sure you have a beer at the Wye River pub if you are heading that way. Great view.

Good meals there too. The Prickly Moses Ale and the Forest Brewery Silvertop Ale are great local drops.

Also try the scallop pie or seafood mornay pie from the A Bay bakery. 

No, I don't have shares in those joints!

Ignore the infidels Ethan! I grant you permission to enter Romsey before your return to the Empire's outpost. You can see how people of quality live and ,for a precious moment, feel part of a better world.

You will be a better person for the experience.

Picket if I thought you had any discernment, notion of class, taste for quality red or fine dining, I'd invite you out to the manor to help you get over this shock. However, since are obviously bereft of such traits I shall leave you to wallow in your own nasty little trough.

Bwahaha Bwahaha !!!!

You can get a nice pot of Carlton at the Lorne pub these days for about $28.

I don't know what all the complaining was about, yes the trees are still charcoal but the undergrowth was looking particularly lush and rejuvenated and there are no more of those annoying koalas around.

I went through Moggs Creek after holding one in for a few hours hoping I could unload on a statue of Dangerfield which the town had erected but couldn't find it.

You could sculpt one out of your stool Ethan. Might be quite a work of art. You could title it 'The Tremblay Danger'

If it looked like a cross between Dangerfield and Jesus I could sell it on EBAY.

May need to mount it on a block of timber and perhaps varnish it.Polish it even.
