Gotta agree. The insanity of this thread is so soothing for the soul and feels just like home after reading other threads and being bombarded by certain posters.

My Dear Earl

I'm sure you understand there was nothing personal in my denial and subsequent shunning of you.

It's just that that scheme of selling alpaca wool mittens into South East Asia that you conned   persuaded me into did cost me a rather exorbitant sum. A sum that, by coincidence I'm sure, would be approximately the price of your rather gaudy vehicle.

Ah well … let bygones be bygones I say. 

Perhaps an invite to sample your sommelier's choice and the licence to indulge in some of the other "offerings" at your Fitzroy pleasure palace might be a step toward restoring good relations.

Cordially

Your forgiving Uncle

Bitter.

 

Dear Uncle

i am sorry I am not living at my Fitzroy address as I suspect you may already know! My inner city warehouse was invaded back in February this year by the Special Operations Group on an anonymous tip-off about synthetic drugs. The damage done is still being dealt by my insurance people, trade persons and talented designers. I am currently living in witness protection down on the Surf Coast!

Biffen, I bet. Or perhaps his opposition.

Ernie! I must say I find your concern for my personal welfare quite touching ……………… and it must said, rather more pleasant than your usual moral judgements. ( and …. given that you are a deceased drunken womaniser.. I find those a tad hypocritical)

However, if you find my generous and conciliatory overtures to the good Earl unusual then, just between you and me of course, I must admit to a level of self interest. The goings on at the Earl's inner urban fortress have become quite legendary among those of questionable repute and I'm hanging out ( so to speak) for an invite.

As to my personal life. Well there is much I'm not "telling" about. For a start, I would be permanently removed from this august forum and secondly, most likely become a person of interest for the moral police.

There is a thin line Uncle between morality and immorality as you know full well. 

A strange thing, I have come to this thread to get away from the crazies everywhere else at the moment. Is my judgement impaired? How could this thread contain more sanity that all the ranting newbies elsewhere? Think I need a banana espresso.

How does one fit a banana into the coffee machine portafilter?

That would be stupid, first you put it in the grinder, then steam the puree and add to a double shot. Funny I thought that was obvious. Must go they a bringing my new jacket.

Wondered about that also. I was going to check with Uncle about banana placement but fortunately, I read the next post

of course so obvious now you mention it.

must say I have had a long lay off from bananas as most folk do. I have never understood how you could eat them every day but perhaps its my lack of imagination. Anyway, they are very tasty at the moment. Not sure if they are local or the ones Earl purloined from the Indonesians. They did seem expensive so perhaps the latter.

I am working my way through Game of Thrones and am now into season 4 and what I find very strange, is that I haven't seen a single banana. 

Clearly if the Director was looking for realism, he would have shown a few bananas.

It wouldn't do the banana a whole lot of good either MD!

Very incisive DV8.

Ernie is just dissembling in an effort to justify his sordid past.

LoL...

You know, a slightly greener than Ripe... banana,   put lightly thru the microwave,  just to take chill off mind... is more comfortable for thee, who must be obeyed... and flavour seems better thus. 

... and a good supply of tooth picks.  ?

 

 

Maintaining essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, iron, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and B6. These all contribute to the proper functioning of the body and keeping you healthy.

... gotta keep the strength up.

Game of Thrones is a story about lawyers, right?

To answer the question part, I still know we lack skill and pace. Yes skill can help lack of pace with hitting targets. 

The first half against the Hawks, was some of the worst footy from both sides, I have seen in years. It was garbage.

There is no such thing as a bad win, especially over the Hawks!
