might even be a job somewhere there for special robert, eh, uncle?

I don't think Special is serious about getting a job dc, after all he knocked back a very generous offer for a traineeship from Biffen.

who will you be dedicating your grand tome to, uncle?

To my muse and inspiration of course - the great man himself - The Marquis.

Hummf. Being an Earl is not good enough eh Uncle, you now take advice from a Marquis. After all I have done for you, like bankrolling your last ill fated escapade in Asia and your total inability to market the remarkable health giving qualities of Guava Paste, if you remember?

Can it do anything for your marching hairline Earl?

I'm afraid I will have to give up on Special Robert.

What little sympathy I ever possessed has  ended.

My guess is he is in dire need of a bath.

Theres enough of those downstairs who will be taking up bridge space shortly.

The only job I could give him is delivery boy taking small emergency packages for the needy from the Gat to the Bridge via a few hostels and clubs.

I am willing to provide an illegal monkey bike for his transport and $2 per delivery.

I can't be any more generous than that

Now now Earl! We genteel folk must stick together against the ever increasing threat of the homeless huns at the gate. Let's forget past err... irregularities and let bygones be what they are.

However, I must say that business dealings with you haven't been quite the same since you terminated the stoic Hudson in favour of the hirstute ( and acrobatic) Conchita.

A point I'm sure the good Lady Hood would also agree with.

Here it is Dieter, not bad eh? This is looking south in the Park, you can just make out a bit of the Crown casino in the background.

looks like the corrugated iron sheets were probably stolen from a fitzroy laneway, maybe even earl's 

Gotta love contemporary deconstruction architecture. It's a much underrated style IMO.

You're certainly upwardly mobile Special. Happy to see you're doing alright for yourself.

Special has Batman Park become overgrown with trees since I walked past just a few weeks ago? Very odd! The trees must be blocking the view to the Yarra. Do you get WiFi in there? 

A diminishing interest in this thread I suspect. 

All this time Special claiming to be homeless.

Batman Park is prime real estate.

Pop up housing like this will become the new normal.

Wouldn't surprise me if special and ferret ,or ratso are sub-letting.

With my recent experience assisting with crisis accommodation ,I'm quite proud of Specials choice of location and Daliesque design.

Well Biffen if my information is correct you may be joining Special in his inner city digs.

I have heard that due to the sale of the Gat your shady business empire has collapsed and you are in a state of extreme penury with creditors at the door you no longer have.

Your "nail technicians" are questioning their illusory visas and former customers for "pharmaceuticals" are looking for more reliable suppliers. I have also heard (and even I find this difficult to credit) that you have been reduced to drinking a cask variety of sauv blanc purchased from the local Aldi.

It seems you have reached previously unplumbed depths.

PS Don't you dare come skulking around The Manor begging for alms.

 

Dear Uncle I have a very serious question for you.

On the home page there exists an Advertisement for Stelly.com for an item known as a " Playsuit" Tell me uncle.. know you of this garment and what is it's intended use!??

I don't know of the particular retailer you are referring to picket, however, there are many that offer attire for 'special' occasions. If you and Mrs. picket have any particular requirements please let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

All tastes can be catered for so don't be embarrassed by thinking that your particular peccadildos will in anyway surprise.

I only charge a modest handling fee.

As long as the goods are not "Second Hand" then I'll trust the the handling fee is not tainted but a true reflection of cutting out the middle man! I reckon Biffen, Hemmingway,Earl Hood , Daisy Cutter, and Moonshadow, maybe even Dieter might all be intersted in acquiring a Little extra something! given your knowledge and procurement of such items!

The term we use is "pre loved" rather than the vulgar "second hand" picket.

Yes ....they grow quite quickly. Yes wi fi, air con, a water bed, a 40 inch flat screen, bar and billiards table.

This is the game where we really need to smash Carlton and go on with it.

It is the typical game we would lose in the past 10 years. 

PS. Sorry to throw in a footy post.
