Bitter but optimistic

I'd appreciate it if you sent Conchita over anyway Earl - the pelt inspection.

I'm already three sheeps to the wind.

Baaaa humbug!! A sheep of fools!

Pickett your depth and breadth of knowledge on this subject is quite astounding but, due to your lewd giggling over the lovely Morticia, I must refuse to do business with you. I have my principles you understand!!!!

A worthy point but, as mentioned above, the moccies lacked the practical advantage of being able to store the ciggies or hide the stash.

I make exceptions for iconic products. The Moe Ugg is right up there with the Jackie Howe and Budgy Smugglers. The authentic used Moe Ugg is distinguished by slight stretch marks from contant insertion of the fifty pack of Winnie Blues.

How very sartorial of you Earl! I must say I have been under overwhelmed by the many generous offers above from d'landers trying to get rid off rubbish going the extra yard to help out. Now as to Ugg Boots, an elegant item to be sure, there are important issues of authenticity and verification that must be satisfied. A genuine Ugg Boot must originate from Moe and thus the question of whether your urban self would know of such a worthy hovel hamlet is raised. However, I realize you are man of honourable intent Earl so I would be happy to inspect the goods. Might I suggest you send Conchita over to The Manor and I shall examine the pelt personally.

My word you have good taste dc. In clothing anyway!

Just visited those purveyors of fine apparel, Messrs Harris & Scarfe. They were offering "Hush Puppies" for around $90.00 which they informed me were reduced from $150.00 -FMD!!! I am out of touch with the world, I need to get off the estate more often. BTW Ethan, dc has a trophy collection of used underwear that also may interest you. BTW 2. Any chance of desert boots in the Philippines SWWL? When are you taking off? BTW 3. Those things that my old mate Stu featured above were generically called "Ripple Soles". I reckon I had a pair once but well before the 90's.

Well with mine you'd be getting two for one!!

In order to allay any concerns you have Doctor, feel free to scrutinise my undergarments for authenticity.

I always knew you were a decent chap Ethan. Rather than being tawdry and mentioning cash I propose an exchange. I have some wonderfully stained undergarments that may be to your taste and would more than compensate for the loss of the brothel creepers.

I know a lot of old bastards post here so I'm looking for some info. Is it still possible to buy old style desert boots? ( Brothel creepers in some circles) Poor old Uncle Bitter is a tad footsore of late and I used to find these rather comfortable. I don't think they'll clash with estate moleskins and Drizabone - I'm going for a more macho look (sans designer stubble of course) at the moment.

Just woke from a Shiraz induced coma in urgent need of putting out the fire. Drinking water FMD! Someone please tell me I had a football nightmare and we really didn't lose the unlosable! PLEASE

I'm going to find a stronger drink! Correct Mable but I expect it's the same in Cabo Verde!

Good god Stu!!! You didn't get hijacked on a trip to Damascus did you?

Well I expect OD will return to his pessimistic ways after today's shitfest. The only good thing about today was that I withdrew at the last moment. Let me rephrase that. I was unable to attend to due to a late change of circumstance. So I am getting [censored] on a better quality vino than I would otherwise. Plus I am not having to put up with Biffen's drugtaking. BTW. What's this I hear about Stuie and Moonie having drinkies together. Oh yes here's an odd one. I was the recipient of some road rage from a bikie today. He pulled up next to me and threatened to "put a bullet between (my) eyes". The world's full of f...wits. Anyway, toodle pip all - it's back to the Shiraz for Uncle Bitters. Oh yes, because Essendon won, I did promise to give the squeeze " a jolly good flogging". However, I think I'll just [censored] myself and consider what ill luck caused me to be a Demon's supporter. Ron Barassi has a lot to answer for!

My say I look rather fetching in my new shirt although it appears to be an odd shape as it is very tight around my 12 pack.

Do the old sows like it when you talk pig german dc?

You learning that Esperanto [censored] off Hemingway dc?

Oh ... and just to add to any confusion from the conglomeration of posts above, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT listen to Biffen when he gives a "sure thing" tip on the races. Now excuse me while I put my idiot's cap back on and give my ( poorer but wiser) self a jolly good flogging.

Finally recovered from the ....excesses .. excitement of Saturday at the G. Bumped into Biffen pre game and couldn't shake him off so consequently had to put up with his loutish and drunken behavior throughout the afternoon. There were good looking sheilas nearby and your old Uncle might have struck up a conversation were it not for my immediate company. Anyway, as if sensing my discomfort, Biffen proposed a post game celebratory drink and offered to shout. (That is, shout something other than obscenities). We decamped to an absolute dump of a pub where Biffen purchased a bottle of horse [censored] that had apparently been mislabeled as Shiraz. Well I had to reciprocate ..... What has my life become .................?

FMD!!! If you are that old picket you should be dead. Doesn't matter though, Hemingway is dead and he still posts. DC has relations with the almost dead and he still posts. Moonie is brain dead and he still posts. Biffen is morally dead and he still posts. Lawyers are ethically dead and they still post. I'm getting depressed and must retire for the night.
