What, just because WCW is good looking she gets favourable protection from you on this thread? I don’t think that is very fair to those of us that are not so good looking. As for appearing normal, you have been taken in by this devious woman. But while seriously deranged, she does have a good heart,  and it is for that reason, and that reason alone that she deserves our care and respect - not because she is good looking. I didn’t think you were so shallow Red.

Oi NC! It’s not often I get compliments like this, so I’m grabbing them with both hands (and feet). Red is the creator of this thread, he should be free to say whatever he likes, the shallower the better. 😁

I have to say that constantly being maligned and made the butt of jokes on this thread is wearing me down.

I'll admit I like a drink a bit overmuch .... and yes , I have a triple x gut ... but I'm really quite a sensitive chap. You know .... I'm basically a  if you [censored] me do I not bleed type of fellow.

Yes I know there's some harassment charges to be dealt with ...but I'm confident I'll be exonerated. ( just a simple misunderstanding)

And of course there's the matter concerning  outstanding wages to The Manor's domestic staff - but that's just some sort of bookkeeping error I'm sure.

And there are one or two other matters before the courts - but nothing too serious. ( Although the issue of foreign nationals has become intertwined  with the wage issue.  I'm confident however, the court will support my contention that I simply used the wrong exchange rate)

All just normal everyday stuff really. It could happen to anyone.

So show a bit of compassion to poor old Uncle Bitter.

( I mean if nut jobs, not naming anyone of course, get shown courtesy and are given special privileges why shouldn't a decent old battler like my good self get similar treatment?)

Awww thanks Red. If only everyone on this forum was even half as sweet as you. 😘 And by “everyone” I mean BBO.  

As they say in the classics WCW, “ you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink”.

You’re so full of [censored] it’s not funny.

We all know to whom you refer when you say “nut job” and I’d rather you go with @Neil Crompton’s description, “seriously deranged but with a good heart” which is closer to the truth.

You make very good points.

I will use them in my next Court appearance for a malcontent.

I always knew there was a half decent fellow inside that reprobate shell.

I'm sorry, what's this about not being able to make him drink?

 

Ah, I see; 'water'...

Dearest WCW, do not descend to Uncle Bitter or his nephew Neil’s level, as even Australia’s biggest crane won’t be able to reach down into the hole you will find yourself in.

You must remain an on top of the ground type of girl.

PS: the protection will extend to your Fritta bear too.

Red, was wondering if this mini Fritta bear (which I modified) could also be given protection…

Protection from Fritta that is. Everyone else thought it was funny, especially his parents. Fritta, not so much. He seemed most unimpressed.

I’m told water never touched Uncle Bitter’s glass, not even to wash it.

You are not alone Mr. Leg. In fact you are probably part of a Legion.

Speaking of f Legions, here is my favourite joke concerning one.

On his first day in the Foreign Legion a young soldier heard a siren sound and then all the troops started running madly around the fort. He asked his sargeant what was happening. He was told that when the siren sounds you could make love to one of the camels. He then asked how many soldiers there were and he was told 500 and he then asked how many camels there were and he was told 500. He then asked, so why are the soldiers running so crazily and he was told, you don’t want to get an ugly one do you.

Last night I cooked dinner for my son and me (by “cooked dinner” I mean tipped the delivery boy then put the pizza on two plates). I suggested we dine at the kitchen table . My son said, “what’s this, 1950s Oklahoma?”

Lucky bugger-all people read this thread (only a special few of us anyways) else everyone would now know my name. My assumed name that is, for my real name is Áine, pronounced awn-ya. Hadda anglicise it upon emigrating to Australia since I didn’t like being called “ayne” which rhymes with “pain” if you get my drift. 😭
