Do you want me to pick you up on the way to Uncle Bitters' Manor, to enjoy his wine cask?

We could have some fun feeding some of the Manor rats to the piranha in the moat.

Then we can watch the Dees belt the Blues on the old black and white 26" tele in the lounge.

The Manor's theatre is quite sophisticated Red and includes special service from my domestic staff.

You , of course, would not be allowed into that sanctum. However, there is a decent telly in the barn.

Fine by me, I am a horse lover. Then again you might only have donkeys.

You will have to share with the Manor’s ever alert attack dogs

The Dems didn't blow a gasket about the having sex with Stormy Daniels 10 years prior to 2016 election. They object to Trump ILLEGALLY breaching campaign finance laws to cover it up...

Id have thought with your legal mind you'd be aware of this Red..?

 

I think there's a few closet Trumpians here, Paul.

Mind you, we're all a bit crazy on this thread, so Dozey Don would fit in perfectly!

Are their nails clipped?

Interesting article in this morning's Age. 

I am now nominating our own dc to mount a campaign to have Borewood renamed Ballyshannassy.

I'll chip in 20 cents.

It is Irish, place of John O’Shanassy who was an Irish born settler and twice Victoria’s premier.

Thank you for that gem of cultural insight dc.

And ... speaking of sacred sites. I note that your old hunting ground, the Borewood Tennis Club, is now in Glen Iris!!

That must cut an old Borewoodian rather painfully .

I think dc's visits to that worthy establishment have a more carnivorous intent Red!

This is my attack “dog”…

Yes, she’s a chicken but no one’s successfully invading my house anytime soon. If a stranger approaches her she lets out an otherworldly scream the likes of which can only be heard during a messy murder. Her name is Rooey and she loves cuddles and having her wattles tickled.

Think I prefer the scones with cream and jam and a nice hot cup of tea to wash it all down.

How about taking the politics to the General Forum

Talking of scones has made me think about biscuits, strange isn't it?

My favourite biscuit is the Anzac.  Just love them.

I am sure we will soon here from the tim tam lovers.

Wonder if Uncle Bitters is an iced vo vo fan.
