Bitter but optimistic

As you know Luci, Robbo never lets logic get in the way of his drinking thinking.

Seems like a reasonable knockabout type of bloke.

I suppose we could plant a rose garden at Gosch's Paddock od.

I get quite quivery when you say such nice things about me Ernie.

No change to the cuisine at The Manor I'm currently enjoying a hearty breakfast of pancakes bacon and hash browns.

They have their uses.

You may be sure I'll let the nice looking peasant sheilas in before locking the gates Ernie.

Is that Special Robert …………………… or maybe Squirrel BTW Ethan, I must say, you look very masculine and decisive in that self pic.

I shall henceforth ignore the rattling from those of lower caste.

Penurious peasants! Bah!

You show your usual wisdom in ignoring Moonie's crude insults od. One who displays such discernment in the pleasures provided by the fruit of the vine could never be of the bogan class. PS. Please address my complimentary case of the next vintage to The Manor at Romsey.

Il bacio della morte .

I wish Max would kiss me like that.

You're [censored] Red!!

Provided you soak them in shiraz for an hour it's a deal. PS. P m me to arrange the pickup - we'll cut the lawyer out of the arrangement.

Good point Red but since you will be working on a "no win no fee" basis, I suggest you make some sneaky enquiries.

Quite so Red! Anyway Red, since you are of the lawyerly fraternity, and I am currently a little cash strapped, have we any grounds to sue Ethan? Obviously we will claim the moral high ground but it's just the lucre we want. Maybe we could organise a class action - Ethan has no doubt offended many.

A profane and blasphemous post. I'm offended.

Good question Neil. It used to show up at the bottom of , I think, the home page but it seems to have disappeared. The answer to the meaning of life can be found on this thread ( if you know who to ask) so I'm sure your query (love that word) will be answered in the fullness of time.

Try farting fish hooks Ethan.

Naturally I wish you well in your lofty aspirations Earl. However …… you must know.. there are "rumours" going around on the social circuit wherein the good name of your house is associated with certain …… err indelicacies. Oddly, according to reliable sources, "garters" seem to have played something of an and up and down role in proceedings. I, off course, am not one to deal in such slanders but social media being what it is these days ….. who knows how high such tales reach?

I must say I had a hearty laugh when reading this morning's Herald Sin. It seems there is a move afoot to have Warnie Knighted! FMD! Sir Shane of House Bogan! I reckon our own @Earl Hood who has been smoozing after a gong for years, would leap of the uppermost balcony of his Fitzroy Hipster Palace if it happened.

I must be drunk ( well actually I am). I fully agree with your post Red.

I believe, @Earl Hood holds the original sketches for these highly desirable object d'art.

Death by suffocation. It would have been painless though - either the sickly sweet aroma of my armpits or the rather more pungent whiff of tinea would have nailed him
