Bitter but optimistic

Actually I think only myself and Bbub are sane.

FMD!! Things are quiet! I can understand the unscrupulous lawyers not posting ... but where is everyone else? Well ... Biffen is doing porn Moonshadow is doing himself OD is doing his teeth dc is doing oldies Earl hood is doing the cheap free trade coffee palaces. R and bluebeard is singing soprano in a choir. I notice fautly det has been posting - well he'd be blowing himself. And as for Doctor Hopping Dick - FMD. Anyway that's just the posters over the last few days!!! Bunch of weirdos .. And people reckon I'm a pervert!! FMD I'm not even in the game.

Missed that od! I backed him the other day and made a profit. A punter I'm not!

Test over! Series over! Kiwis WAP!

How dare you dc?? Hiram Abif would turn in his very geometric grave if we start disclosing masonic secrets on this site. Typo on Hiram's name

Thank you Earl - your sage advice is always appreciated. However, I must differ on one point. When attempting to minimise my taxation burden, I deal directly with my lawyers. I find that group far shiftier .... ,errr more, shall we say flexible. Although, as you can imagine, gains are to some extent offset by exorbitant fees of course!!

Just to add to many concerns you have Earl, I saw a fellow in Crazeyburn wearing a nicely styled North Fitzroy hipster man bun...... it matched his tatts rather well I thought. BTW I was just driving through in the Merc and observing poor people.

[censored] me 'luded - what a pisser, can I use this line? ......somewhere "like soap scum on the shower glass, you can never really get it all out."

That's very funny Biffen. You are quite the cunning linguist at times.

Probably. He wanted to have a drink with Biffen so he must be a weirdo.

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)
