Pendles and his missus named their sprog "Jax" . FM where does that come from? I suppose the filth supporters will consider it sophisticated. Jax!!! FMD!! that's apple iphone auto-predictive text for you, uncle next they'll do away with teachers ......... just plug babies directly into a computer at birth and leave it to dr google and professor apple and names will be replaced by numbers (just like footballers) Quote

Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Just finished the week attempting to help Biffen tidy up his affairs at the Gat. It's cost me fuel for the Merc, tolls, lunches etc. Plus the physical burden of moving his equipment. Neither a word of thanks nor any of his promised recompense. [censored] ingrate! Quote
Earl Hood 6,167 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 It's been a bad week for me too Uncle. A slight accident on the way home yesterday, taking a short cut via Merri Creek. Quote

beelzebub 23,392 Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Well we can now wash ourselves of that silly game of football for the year. Was intruding on the serious pursuits; crosswords jigsaws and truffle hunting. Word from brethren north is the yellow cropping not as harshly affected by nasty weather as possibly might have been but dont expect cheap fruit. Might buy and freeze...one needs a supply for daiquiris 1 Quote

picket fence 18,168 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Dear Uncle I got given a home made Shiraz called "Dirty Olman", circa 2011 I have had a glass of this previous and it tasted great. Given your social contacts and ability to move in ever diminishing rare circles of confounded conolutions, I wondered being of simlar volition to the main entreaty! Have you ever come across this delicious Drop? Quote

I can't imagine picket drinking anything but cheap red Earl. After all, he is not of the genteel class. Still we must indulge the hoi polloi from time to time I suppose Quote
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Speaking of poor people, we haven't heard from Special Robert for a while. I suppose he and squirrel spooning wasn't enough and a cold night got them. Quote
