Bitter but optimistic

You been on the cryptic crossword juice dc? Ha ha !! That is funny Frogger. A bloke named Roland Barthes did that many years ago and ..... ironically ... he was a Frog.

Remember Moonie, there is a dead author floating around too.

So .... you are a carnivorous Frog! After all I've done for you Frogger, you stab me in the back. Arrgh .... what a cruel and ungrateful world we live in.

And you lot think you have problems! I find myself attending football games in the swinish and vulgar company of Biffen and Moonie.

Flogger, I created the rules for deceit society

Maybe it's a Mexican frog!

You are a man of rare discernment Ethan.

You married a Mexican football team!? Tell us more ............... please.

At this time of year your poor Old Uncle is harassed by vino vendors offering their Christmas Specials. One fellow, tried to gild the lily by offering a dozen stemless wine glasses if the purchase was at least 2 dozen bottles. He was immediately dismissed and told to [censored] off. I mean who the [censored] would use a stemless wine glass? Then I started to consider this matter in relation to the denizens of this intellectual thread. Red and WJ - lawyers. They would drink anything , anyway, provided it was free. Biffen - Currently indisposed to due to massive drug issues. He thinks casks are fine wine provided they are colourful. Earl Hood. I considered him a man of discernment and class but his recent habit of bathing in sake must call this into question. Moonie. Claims to have an extensive cellar of fine wines but none have been produced in my presence. dc. Haha lives in Borewood and shags old sheilas. Jim Beam with ice would be sophisticated for him. Old dee. Well he only drinks free Pinot ( none of which has been shared, I might add) so he would probably have no choice but to use the glass given to him. pickett fence. Total lunatic. Would have no idea of sophistication or good taste. Ernie . A dead alcoholic! bbub - a tricky one - doesn't give much away. However, as he frequents this thread, he is guilty by association. The Froger? Pond scum is probably lapped up - so a stemless glass? Anyone I've missed feel free to ask for an assessment. [censored] me! Upon consideration, that wine vendor is due an apology! He'll not get it of course! Anyway [censored] you all!!

Well sue the [censored] Red!

I'm not a horseracing aficionado Red but I saw the name and thought " arrgh yes must put a wager on that"! Of course, I then forgot all about until I heard the race result - and sadly the dividend. FMD - again!

For mine, Weideman is the wild card in this deck. If he develops into the KPF many hope, then we are in front of the game.

Terrific bloke. Cruelled by injury and possibly the worst coach in history. I hope he comes good for Port and has a top season. ( I wouldn't even mind a cracker game against us) Go Jack!!

2 plus 2. Surely you've got more than that Red!

Because I am lavishly rich, I rolled my Trident membership over again. However, I did get a little shaky as our end of season capitulation is still sticking in my guts. ([censored], I hope Moonie and his ghostly friend is nowhere near me)

Well done Moonie! I understand the second Trident would be purely a donation as no one would want to go with you.

.... and some lovely treats.

Gotta love Halloween! I let the dogs out and watch the kids run screaming out the driveway while I'm sipping a Shiraz. Great sport!!.

Sake!! Surely Earl, a man of your sensibilities can do better than this? Perhaps your contacts at the Tokyo chapter of "Loyal Order of Hipsters" could acquire cherry blossom wine or some such for your delectation. PS. How is the guava paste moving?

Is this what my life has been reduced to? Criticism and personal analysis from a demented frog and a dead hack. FMD - before you know it I'll be drinking cask wine!

Crickey demonland is deadly dull atm. In the good old days you could throw a bone to Stuie and fire things up. Of course the immoderators would call this "baiting" and poor old Uncle Bitter would get some rehab. Arrh gotta miss Stuie!

Like "Moonie intelligence" BwahahBwahaha!! [censored] I'm funny!

Well od, I would if I could turn the same quid out of it as many of those who do.

Describing a bloke who weighs 73kgs as "powerful" is an interesting juxtaposition.
