I have imbibed a similar drink Ethan.Fortunately,along with the other potent drugs Asia has to offer, none of them can harm me.Only after drinking the Cobra blood did i realise it contains the venom present in said snakes fangs.I admit my heart slowed to a snails pace but i thought that was due to the heat.On this journey I will stick to drinking Uncle Bitters duty free gin.

Bah! As if I would share my Tanqueray Dry with one of your vulgar palate.

Looks like nothing can kill you Biffen, Demonland's answer to John Wayne.

PS. Autocorrect on my phone changes Biffen into buffoon. I blame Stuie.

How I miss him. His non stop pursuit of equality and moral superiority was the perfect antidote to my actual achievement of human perfection and unquestionable wisdom coupled with my spiritual and intellectual godliness.Sometime one needs a snivelling rat to kick into the gutter to reassure oneself of such a thing.

I see what you mean - something that makes your hair go instantly frizzy with shock, as distinct from the the other type of aphro.

I assume Biffo is the only one with cranial hair, so he may have to provide the appropriate visual effects, a la Curly of the Three Stooges.

Must be an awfully powerful drink!

The banana smoothie of the Far East. 

Just taking a break from spreading good will in the Far East colonies

chanced upon biffen yesterday - he was drunk of course and invited uncle to a luncheon

It was a surprisingly decent tavern and despite being surrounded by his shady associates and a poor choice of wine the tucker was rather good

come bill paying time Biffen fell for the old chestnut that I'd left my wallet in my room safe

bwahaha! One to uncle bitter!

That "can of coffee" I asked you to bring in for me will more than cover lunch.For at least the next decade.An old mule for a hard road say I.

I'm sure that's not all you'll be spreading around the Far East

I'm back and now refreshed. Although I note that this  interlectual thread has been sadly neglected in my absence.

I did have to take have a few days rest after my sojourn to the colonial outposts. (Being fawned over for a week can be very arduous  - even for one who is accustomed to flattery)

I had little success in avoiding Biffen unfortunately. Though I must say he has a surprising and extensive network of contacts over there. Albeit among the drunken and drug addicted class. As I understand it, he is currently working his way through  rural villages buying antiquities and funerary artefacts from the poor and ignorant. He makes the British Museum look like a philanthropic organisation.

I have also noted some irregularities on my credit card statement and, as I had Biffen conduct a financial transaction for me, I fear he may have "Sylvia'd" me !

Indeed Uncle Bitter.

Reading your many witticisms and weighty proclamations on here is akin to two George Clooneys making love by candle light in a villa by Lake Como between silk sheets, such is the carisma and eloquence bursting from every word.

Ignore these heathens who cast aspergers  on you.

You are clearly a man of refined taste Col - a  cut above the riff and raff with whom I appear to be increasingly surrounded.

However, if I may be so bold as to one make one correction to your above epistle. Surely you meant to say " those who cast nasturtiums on you"?

I may have. By this stage of one's life, the brain starts to waver.

 I try to add levity to proceedings and to raise the general tenor of the cultural effluvia that gets belched out here. Being a man of letters, cheap booze and the Melbourne Football Club, I know you are on the same page.

For all intensive purposes, I thought carisma was a perfectly cromulent word.

colin, allow me to be the first to offer you my most sincere contrafibularities.

There has been some disturbing developments in the "Women told to score mOre" thread.

Expertise offered on what is and what isn't sexist behaviour/commentary.

Its not as if i need help in this field. it has been my lifes' work.

Next we will be getting pointers on smut,innuendo and filth.

like throwing donuts at the resident labrador that lives in the French restaurant-enough is never enough.

The New Church Ladies have beards.

I'm amazed you made it through quarantine and even more surprised i made it through customs.

I travelled in "premium Economy' making acquaintance with a silly Polish man who agreed to carry some items through customs for me.

Needless to say, I am potentially rich as ever and am also in possession of some 3000 year old trinkets  to boot.

A good year beckons for the yours truly despite the uprooting I have suffered in Fitzroy St.

I look forward to looking down on you in the coming year, authoritarian interference notwithstanding, as ever.

Precisely. The thread’s been completely derailed for the last 700 or so pages and it’s time to get back on topic.

I’m surprised, no shocked ? that nobody has picked up on this comment by Deeman on the AFLW thread about last week's game v GWS Giants:-

“I understand the concern about Mifsud’s absence for us but what I really want to know is why [censored] wasn’t playing for them!”

On that basis bb I had a very nice banana and peanut butter sandwich for lunch today. Better than a Dees win because one is guaranteed and the other never certain.
