Bitter but optimistic

I believe our good gentrified friend Earl Hood may have lapsed into deep depression. Mr Turnbull today announced that imperial honours were finito! The good Earl has been seen at the right places and pressing the right flesh (not in the way Biffen understands) in order to qualify for a gong. All in vain it seems. Hope he doesn't cast himself off the roof of the Stock Exchange.

That sounds like "Head of Accounting" or Head of Marketing". Your meaning may have been more clear had you said something like, "has full responsibility". As usual, just trying to help you out Snitch.

No doubt arithmetical errors are common when writing out the bill however!

Halloween! The only time you can hand out lollies to children without being treated suspiciously.

Getting "the teeth" fixed od ? tsk tsk wink wink!

Well I was only making polite conversation dc ( as we of the upper class do) but .... Stones Green Ginger !!!! FMD!!

I doubt we'll hear from dc tonight. Apart from his usual rather notorious commitments, I read today that Borewood has joined the list of Melbourne's $million suburbs. I suspect dc will gargle a few Porphery Pearls in celebration - FMD he may even buy one!

Anyway old uncle bitters has had a very busy day and must retire.

No doubt dc, but we mere mortals don't have some enthralled old babushkas to help us out.

Yeah could have been a ripping yarn with some decent editing.

Ha! Would you believe that is the second obscure linguistic term that has come to my notice in the past fortnight? A former colleague sent me a text about "collocation". Hadn't heard the word for I reckon 20 years but I did at least remember it. "Pleonasm" however, sent me to the reference book. As to "remuneration" - I will need more evidence of your credibility than a mere Hopping Dick before I part with my ill gotten gains. Edit typo

Would that be a battery operated err .. zimmer dc ? tsk tsk!!

Do you think he swears eternal love as he humps them off to the beyond?

MMmmmmm.. fair point Moon. I had forgotten Dr. John's roots. I think he needs to explain the derivation of this place name and his part in it.

Don't be such a hypocrite Biffen!! At least dc does not hide his predatory ways - we know what he is chasing. (Although some would consider hunting prey that relies on a walking frame a little questionable)

It is this level of vulgarity that makes the "Lads" insist on banning you. The credit card incident didn't help either. However, given your Asian liaisons, I would like your opinion on my post 17974. The Doctor was useless.

The "Lads" are very discerning about guests. So I doubt that any of the perverts that post here would be welcome. However, if said perverts were weighed down with wine .... or ( licentious) women .. they would be welcomed with open arms. As for Song ... well we all know what he's like.

No dim sims in Romsey dc. The lads are quite into cats.

No. The local oriental take-away is on Uncle Bitter's punishment list. They did not bow and scrape sufficiently. I now take my wealth elsewhere.

I'm having a deja vu moment here but , I need to know - is Kai si ming the dish of choice in Borewood?

Dr John. You are clearly a man of letters ...and numbers... so you maybe able to help me out with this. I have heard (yes I know hearsay) that in certain establishments in SE Asia that young female employees are in fact, identified by a number that is textered on their .... argh ... person. Apparently the idea is that if you wish to have an intellectual discussion with said young ladies, you ask the maitre d to invite, let us say number 69 24 over to your table. Is that your understanding of the process?

Your use of "overweight" was unnecessarily hurtful. I am retiring for the evening.

Indeed!! What sort of an ignoramus could do without my sage advice on all matters?

Don't be silly Moonie! Do you know of a low [censored] that would snitch about pm's and then send one like that?

OK ... we'll get an authority ... a real old bastard. Where's OD?
