I trust the shiraz stockpile is taking a big hit tonight Bitters. The more you drink, the more obscure the words you use in your posts

Forget the Shiraz, try the Malbec. 

In the interests of uplifting this thread as Ernie has been imploring recently, I thought the various Legal Eagles who inhabit this thread might be interested in this set of books I stumbled upon in a Jesuit library in Córdoba, Argentina today while taking a short break from my arduous wine tasting duties. The books date from the early 1700’s and were part of a library of 10,000 books, some stretching back to when printing first began. Unfortunately when the Jesuits were kicked out of South America in 1754 many of the books on science and philosophy were burned by the Franciscians as they were deemed to be heretical!

I graciously conceded Daisy. Just don’t shoot the messenger. A lift in post standard is required so that life doesn’t revolve around chats about bananas. A little more imagination is required otherwise the number of posters visiting this place will dissolve like an over ripe banana. 

We have been given a reprieve by his Gracious Highness WJ and his coterie of faithful priests. I suspect that no further warnings will be issued and unless there is a lift in interest this thread will self destruct or posters will have the rug pulled. 

The silience from Mr Leg is deafening. This does not bode well. Unless we hear from him by the end of the week,  I would suggest the future of this thread be revisited. As the originator if this thread he should have final call on it’s future. Unless of course one views the continued existence of this thread as a charitable way to look after the mental health of OD. He did seem to go into meltdown over the possibility of boning this thing. 

It’s bad enough you suggest closing this thread WJ, I mean Hemingway , but you take the name of my horse as your name. 

This breach is being put before the Board of the Thread to determine a suitable punishment. I favour a whipping. No BBO you can’t have one as well .

Nice compliment but Redleg is a poor guesser. No pseudonym but If I were to take one from the literary world it might be James Joyce or Leo Tolstoy, not Hemingway - no offence Ernie.

That reflected image looks eerily like it came from my private quarters at The Manor.

Spies abound it seems.

That being the case, I would advise Earl not to touch those books because they'd probably be full of trashy images and little written content of merit. The spines are definitely fake, lucky they are behind glass

Damn  I missed the 1000th page,  what was it like !  any memorable quotes, I cannot go back and read it.

You never go back !   and if I did that would mean taking this thread far too seriously, I enjoy it as it is    Cheers

Among which, Biffen, your hallucinogenic meanderings have been particularly insignificant.

My contributions were primarily on sedatives I'll have you know.Why  would anyone waste hallucinogenics reading and writing this guff?Particularly when it is read in triplicate .

Well … err .. sorry, I suppose,  Biffen. It's just that your scribblings suggest that you are  permanently on hallucinogenics .

Plus the fact that I know this to be true.

I only became that way after seeing the dulling effects of red wine and sexual depravity on my fellow posters.

You are obviously older than I thought.

Law Society tour group ?

The last one I went to was on the Adriatic and Ionian Sea. 

A cruise, Ross Wilson and the rest.

Must be a lot of grey hair onboard.

Lifts to be avoided.

Sounds fun, have a great time.

Yeah.

Can understand why though. If I ran a forum I'd be pretty conservative as well.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
