Bitter but optimistic

You couldn't help yourself - just had to slip that one in.

Your denial seems a little limp - on the face of it anyway.

No I stopped that card. But I least did Biffen a good turn, he used it for a number of medical appointments. Specialists in "relaxation" and there were some Asian associations - herbalists I think.

Who's paying?

Still going I see Jizz. Now here is something to reflect on. At the end of this month, I'm back on the pizz and will be enjoying slurping it down more than ever. You on the other hand have to give up those smooth relaxing ciggies for ever. Just think Jizz , that beautiful post breakfast smoke with the cuppa - gone for ever. Go on Jizz have a final one. You want to. Go on, one wont hurt.

Get any (rain) in Borewood daise? Maybe wash some of the beige away?

No Man, I'll happily return to my over indulgent habits and my usual nom de plume!

The lads are quite immoderate in their habits, however, I have not noticed them brewing up as much mate as usual.

Now don't be a fl og Ethan! Half of my posts are "truly ridiculous " so don't encourage people to think that particular category is in anyway misguided!

Well this is a turn up Oneday. I've never before been considered moderate. I'm a little shellshocked. I shall comment on this affront at a later date. (When I can think of something suitable)

Speaking of inanity, where is the Jizza? I presume his feeble challenge has finally collapsed and he has gone into hiding with a carton of smokes

Well well, the Clit is back and demanding "something witty"! It is difficult to be witty and keep it at a slapstick level that you might understand Clit, so I'll pass on that challenge. However, I'm also trying to cast my mind back to some of your profundities and coming up empty. All that really comes to mind was your pie throwing routine the day you stuck your ugly mug all over the board. A pool of inanity would be my description of that.

I wouldn't say it's always the wrong decision Curry. It depends a lot on the type of support they get and who is around them. BTW. I've been doing some online stalking er research of your squeeze. (Hope you don't mind) A real doll in the swimming cossie what ho!!!

Ten days off the grog! How do you think I feel Red?

You can be so thoughtless and selfish at times Biffen. Did it never occur to you, that by singling out Reg as the object of your affection you were setting him up to be a pariah among his own kind? You may have thought those special little faecal tidbits you favoured him with were a kindness but did you ever consider the impact on the billion other blowies at the Gat? Of course you didn't. It was all about you and your relationships. Poor Reg shunned by his own kind and relying on your fickle and capricious ways had no hope. At least do the right thing and ensure that his family is seen to.

Haven't heard from Jizza for a while. Score one to the Alpacas. I reckon he's behind the milking shed sucking on a [censored].

You are so crass at times dc! Gentlemen do not spew. Yes. Wash out your foul mouth Loonie! I just ordered 15 bottles of fine Shiraz. Like Julius Caesar, they will be done by the ides of March.

Ive just prepared my usual Friday night Pizzas and when my delectable company arrives I shall take them outside to cook. The outside cooking is also a nostalgia thing for the lads. Anyway by this stage I would usually have slopped down 3 or 4 stubbies while at least one bottle of shiraz is breathing its last. However , as an abstainer, I have been sipping soda and lime (haven't got the other stuff yet dc). Now could one one you genii please explain how a couple of sodas ( a fraction of my normal liquid intake) have rendered my ample guts full ?

Thank you for your enquiry Moonie. It is good that you continue to try and learn from your betters. As to the Health Club. It was trundling along quite well but then came some misunderstandings. What I considered friendly social overtures to some fellow (female TBH) athletes was misinterpreted or misunderstood and management naturally took their side. Then there was the business with the fungal infection .... well it was all too much and I just wasn't enjoying it anymore.

I try to emulate Elagabalus dc - it's not a temporary condition. A bit like your good self with the blue rinsers I suspect.

It's only a temporary aberration while I endure this Febast foolishness and show Jizza up!

Sorry, I forgot Jizz, the purveyors of fine wine that I patronise frown on customers arriving in gumboots. BTW. I was having a post dinner cordial with a friend last night while he was sucking joyously on a ciggy. It's really that after dinner smoke that is most enjoyable - almost sensuous. You understand I'm sure Jizz.

Despite your snide shot about the Romsey show I'll try it dc. How do you serve this stuff? It's not only available in Borewood is it ?

Big Mouth Shiraz

Where are you Jizz? Not sneaking a puff behind the milking shed I hope!! I've changed my beverage of choice to Bickfords diet lime and soda - still appalling. A further sad irony is that two of my usual wine suppliers rang last night with special deals. The gasp at the other end of the line when I told them I was participating in Febfast did at least give me a laugh
