It’s no wonder you’re deranged, you poor thing. Not sure there is a cure,  but there is likely to be some professional who could help you. Best wishes.

Without judging you, it does explain a lot.

Yep. That’s my party trick.

Speaking of parties, I’m going to one tomorrow night. Fritta is going to the same party (mutual friend’s birthday) and I’m staying the night at the Frittata family home. At least I thought I was sleeping at their house. Seems Pauline (Fritta’s mum) has other ideas. She just messaged me…

 

I just hope she’s kidding  

😬

Wow, you have been through hard times, WCW!  Nevermind staying at a shady tree at the Frittatas' place

I know right! And it’s a good thing I’m so tough coz it seems she wasn’t joking after all. She confirmed it this morning. But as you can see I’m not fazed at all…

😁

The big question of course is, who gets to play Uncle Bitter?

Demis Roussos?

Wardrobe dept budget would be spared. Wouldn’t have to buy any 7XL kaftans.

Haha for someone who wanted to be banned from this site, you are doing an awful lot of posting on here WCW.

Don't think a dead person can play Uncle Bitter.

Ah! I see a light in the tunnel here WCW. The key phrases here are "used to be" and "was", showing that there has indeed been a U-turn of sorts here. Note the present tense in my earlier post, ie about considering such a relationship now. That should be enough legalese to distract even the most pedantic Pharisees on this thread away from judgement, let alone sentencing. It seems ye have already repented, and so the light of the red and the blue shall be your only guide henceforth.

(Oh and if the food at the party includes fried bananas, does that mean you will have had a banana fritter with the Fritters? Had to "rail" this thread somehow ...😆)

I think we need to get this thread back on to the footy, so let me pose the following question.

Which is greener, real grass or Astro turf?

Well Red ...... it obviously depends which side of the fence it's on.

Does spillage from a wine cask lighten or darken Astro turf?

Ask the butler, as he must have poured plenty of wines while you were on the manor tennis court or croquet course.

Isn't it a croquet court?

I don’t thinks it’s a croquet court, as the ones I have seen never have a border to the course.

However, you are correct, as they are called “courts”.

Edited January 22, 20233 yr by Redleg

just to be totally [censored]. they are also called a pitch

uncle bitters should be the authority here as every manor must have a croquet pitch

Quote

An official full-size croquet pitch is 28 yards wide by 35 yards long, but most casual players make up their own size depending on lawn space.) Players take turns: the player, or team, with the blue ball goes first, followed by the player with the red ball, then black, and finally yellow.

Uncle Bitter uses the croquet mallets to keep the staff in line.

btw it looks as if only demon and tiger supporters can play "blue ball goes first, followed by the player with the red ball, then black, and finally yellow"

makes sense too that the blue and red balls play first.

Not a single fried banana in sight.

But I’m happy to say I didn’t sleep under a tree in the Frittata front yard. I slept in Fritta’s old bedroom and was woken this morning (a little hungover and waaaay too early, for mine) by being jumped on and face-licked by Oscar, the Frittata family pooch. Good times.

Not sure I am happy with DL’s sleeping in player’s beds.

But the player wasn’t there. He chose to sleep at his own house.

What’s your stance re DL’s sleeping with a player’s dog?
