How is your American  (language) ?

Crap, and I wouldn't work for Trump in a pink fit anyway. But it will be worth a laugh or two over the next couple of years to watch him implode ...

Just had a binge-read catch-up of a few pages of this thread. Had a laugh or 3 in doing it. Thanks to the regular stalwarts for keeping it going over the off season. And to the other warts as well - the hog warts and the wart hogs, and maybe the genital ones too.  You know who you are.  

A belated Merry Dec 25th and HNY to you all.

Go Dees 2017

Yours truly is off to Indochine for a  sabbatical .

I will be lying low in a village of sympathetic mercenaries , reading T.S.Eliot and eating lychees.

I look forward to sending you all some communique from the dense jungle through my minions so please be aware that some of my  missives may be badly translated and this is in no way due to a ready supply of opiates and cheap beer, but rather that my translator has a pronounced nervous tick from repeated beatings.

Australia's new trade attaché for SE Asia Biff? 

Hope you haven't left Uncle Bitter in charge of The Gat during your sogourn. He would easily sign it up for a shallow transformation on The Block.

I am not working in an official capacity Moon .

Rest assured the Gat will be under the command of a lieutenant .

Bitters will not be allowed near the place until he pays his outstAnding accounts with the various traders contained therein.

Biff, with the greatest respect it is always a bit of a worry to hear about single middle aged men going to the fleshpots. Well we have heard about save the children but to add some decency to this thread, save the locals. And as a decent man, you will pay appropriate wages or tips not slave labour cash transactions like so many exploitive corporations worshipped by those seduced by the capitalists. Or those middle aged men that are seeking nourishment of their material desires rather  than nourishment of the soul. There is no price to be paid for nourishment of the soul.

No Moon, not when it is 38 degrees heading to 40. 

On days like today, keeping up the fluids is important and in the interests of good health.

You're all over it Ernie!

I'm quite certain Biffen is going to Asia for reasons of pure self indulgence and pleasures of the flesh.

If only you knew the extreme reverence I command in my village .Im more like a benevolent Apparition than  a German in sandals.

The only flesh available will be fish or foul, perhaps pork, dog or frog.

You're projecting your own evil intentions on an innocent once again.

My sources tell me Biff is off to Indochina and will be heading up river in search of a certain Colonel Kurtz who is known to inhabit his village. There won't be much time for revelry I think.

I doubt Biffen will be heading up country Earl. He is soft and enjoys creature comforts overmuch.

Biffen is a denizen of the dark alley and dens of iniquity and rarely decamps from comfortable squalor .

I'm going to Launceston, One of my Aunties friends told me it is a very raunchy town.

Yes, the Cataract Gorge can be a wild party venue. But stay away from the bushes in the monkey park if you know what I mean

What's this rubbish about Tasmania having monkeys? Come on next I suppose there will be lions and elephants as well.

Special, you do realize you can't hitchhike to Tassie?

 You sort of can. It means you have to stay in the car boot all day below decks.

More likely to find lions and elephants in Tassie than tigers, I hear ... :-)
