Close enough!

OK you're in. Please post as often as you like on this thread.

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?

Well picket, I've been called a "Dirty Olman" on more occasions than I can remember but, as to that particular libation, the answer is no.

Try a Cabernet next time. Has much superior genetic cache. Stop slumming in lowly Shiraz land.

Wash your mouth out with caustic soda skinny - shiraz is the king of wines.

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

 

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.

Then who is the Queen?

By the way, the Shiraz emporer has no clothes.

Or he might've gone the same way as stuie, curry & beer or dee-luded. Killed off in the dead of night. Our very own murder mystery, if you will.

Who's next?

The butler hiding in the pantry (dc)? The Lady of the House decending the staircase (Maple)? Or the Drunken Uncle fumbling around the cellar for another bottle of shiraz?

I will need to store some stuff at the Monor for a while.

Some of it is from parts foreign.

Your proximty to the airport could be handy.

Since the closure of the Gat I have decided to increase my business .

Your are included in my new venture.Dont thank me yet.The hard work has only just begun.

Demonlanders I am need of advice. 

I am headed to Sydney this Friday primarily on family business with the good wife. However she has then taken the opportunity to book tickets for the Hawthorn v Sydney game on Friday night and asked me if I wanted to go ( as if I had a choice). I naively responded yes as I have never attended a sporting event at the SCG so this would be a unique experience for me and I would not particularly care who won so could just sit back and soak up the atmosphere. 

Now she is demanding that I wear Hawthorn colours on the night and has packed a yellow and brown jumper and scarf in my suitcase! 

I have drawn a line in the sand on this and said I will need to seek guidance from my Demonland advisors before I can make a decision to wear those colours. 

Your advice on this is most welcome.

Your Earlness,

You wouldn't perchance be the Earl of Sandwich, would you?

Because what you describe sounds like a Faecal Sandwich to me.

Divorce.

I'd be asking 4 a rusty trombone in return.?

Tell her to pack her BDSM gear as well Earl. And a good bottle of vodka. It'll be worth the sacrifice 

Treason is punishable by death in my country.

But go ahead Earl!

You won't be thought of as less than human.

Or anywhere in the vicinity.

 

Quite acceptable to wear your red and blue, I would think.  If you want to wear yellow and brown, wait for incontinence to hit after you move into the nursing home....

If it's gold and brown bra and panties, you can safely wear those for a bit of fun without being identified as a Hawks fan. If it's something to wear on the outside and there's no hididing it then, no , not under any circumstances.

That cannot be a serious question Earl. Of course you cannot wear that under any circumstances. Perhaps donate the scarf on the way to some poor homeless type (I am sure there are a few that can be found in that harbourside place), and if that goes well, do the same with the jumper. Failing that, you could accidentally spill your drink all over it, thus ruining the fabric. You could also say you are carrying it for the Sheedy-type wave, and then just not be able to hang onto it once you have whipped up a good speed (but perhaps aim for the nearest bin whilst doing so, just to be sure). Or maybe just polish your shoes with it before you go, and then use it as a bin liner. But surely Conchita can deal with this for you?
