Bitter but optimistic

Well a ring is often involved Red.

Nah we're not talking about a sheep or beef man here. This is a bloody milk cockie! Gummys for sure.

You forget to mention the gumboots Jazz!

Pedant.

Well, I never thought I'd see the great man's name on Dland. I dips my lid to you mauriesy. In fact, you can now stop hiding your face in shame.

Twenty days!!! At a pack a day that's over $400 in your kick. Are you buying the drinks on Sunday?

Here's one for you Jazz. “Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.” Sam Clemens (aka Mark Twain)

Sorry about that Choke;I was too general in that comment. I did have a specific poster in mind, not your good self.

Maybe just for the socially inept.

You almost have one for each dunny Fl og! Now there's an idea!

You are very positive Biff - obviously the rehab hasn't worn off yet. In fact I'm amazed, it as if you have been reborn. Are you drug free? Is the Psychosis under control? Have you given up your illicit businesses? Next thing I'll hear you become a respectable member of a community.

You must feel a bit like Rip Van Winkle Biff? Has the world passed you by?

BTW, I believe Biffen is close to completing his rehab , however, at the moment he is incommunicado. I'm not sure of the reason for this but it may be that his business interests have suffered during his absence and require urgent attention. Or, it may be more mundane - the incontinence problem may have reared its er head again or, he has simply gone directly on a drug bender.

You SUBurbanites are a sad lot. You have to rise above petty restraints and indulge fully in the pleasures of a rural escape.

Well i do have some ..er good friends in that part of the world and I believe the "lads" may have some kin down there. How did you know DC?

Biffen is common in that he runs a very common house. As to myself, well suffice to say that no residents of the fair burg of Romsey are common - commoners are sent to Borewood.

BTW Jazza the Romsey Tree Hugging Society are looking for an outing. I suggested Beech Forest to see if the local cockies are environmentally aware and upholding all pertinent laws. Perhaps you could organise a welcome cuppa and Barbie?

I'd have hoped for a bit of patriotism and loyalty from you blokes - I'm talking "Golden Syrup"! Before you know it, it will be lamb and diary from Kiwiland - Sorry for raising that during your anti smoking campaign Jazz.

Paneful Moonie Paneful!

If you didn't have me on ignore you little [censored], you would know!!!

As usual Moonie, you are first with the latest (incorrect) information. After a thorough examination, it was found that no rehab was necessary. Just Karma I suppose - I do good and good happens to me!

Excellent questions Moonie - your insight has surprised me. However, to be sure of the answer one would have to delve into Biffen's dark psyche. A place to be avoided!

The apocalypse?

I’m certain you’ll all be interested in an update on Biffen’s latest stretch in rehab. He is almost halfway through and they are removing the straightjacket for a few hours each day. His bladder control is returning but his lewd (and apparently impossible) suggestions to his counsellors are causing concern. Nonetheless hopes are high although he still calls out “Stuie!, Stuie!”, during his hypnosis sessions.

I feel your pain Jazz!!!! Ha ha just joking!!!
