Bitter but optimistic

You have been told Jazza and ....... so has the other pervert, Moonshadow. BTW Maple your intelligence and class was apparent from your first post. To a suave urbane fellow like myself, this was obvious. Unfortunately, more often than not, you will find yourself casting pearls ...!

Dunno what happened to that sheila from Canadia that posted on here for a while. Rather miss her.

Thank you Moon - quite correct. But even I have my limits and arrant stupidity must be curtailed at some point ....... surely!!

I'm sure there's a special school out there ... somewhere .. that can help you fl og. Keep looking!

That is bloody funny dc!

We all carry our burdens of guilt Biff. I am just putting on my horsehair shirt and will give myself a flogging before retiring for the night.

There is a sad loss of innocence story in that. The lads were quite naive in those days and thought the only reason people wore gumboots was to keep their feet dry!

Pity I didn't know you were attending today OD. A couple of "the lads" were there and would have looked after you. They no longer compete of course - a scandal involving a (former) virgin female alpaca was ( falsely) attributed to them. Enough said.

No doubt you are correct dc. However , for our sanity, I think it is best not to try and imagine what such "comforts" might be.

Mans inhumanity ............... what an unfair world we live in. Servants are treated much better in Romsey.

Well.. at least pay the girls more!!!!

I would have suspected the green pond slime that posts here dc, however, the hijacker appears to be literate ( at least beyond colouring books) and so I must eliminate him ....................... "I must eliminate him" ............... hmmmmmmmmmmm.

So you have not joined Lordweaver in the great beyond Biff. Surprising! However it may be time to reinvent yourself - your licentious lifestyle and illegal interests are surely leading you closer to perdition.

I didn't attend the footy today nor did I even think about it until about 6.00 pm this evening. Today I had the privilege of attending a "special olympics" swimming carnival. Most of the competitors were Down Syndrome the the others had ID's of various types. The highlight for me was a 50 metre race where 3 0f the competitors had finished and the fourth was about 3/4 of a pool length behind. The crowd cheered the last person on and, as she came near the finish, the other three who were still in the water began to clap. I am a hard hearted bastard but this made me cry. Actually writing about it now is making me cry. It puts life in perspective.

You are on the money here WJ. Biffen actually runs a service that is not so much a happy hour but does guarantee a "happy ending". BTW. I have been trying to track Biffen down - if we don't hear from him soon i reckon he has (as the salvos say) been promoted to glory along with Lordweaver..

Had my last night in Saigon. Stayed at the New World Saigon Hotel - which I highly recommend btw. Anyway they have a " happy hour" 2 hours free beer/wine and food. Well I showed them a thing or two. I was very discerning and started at one end of the wine selection, one end of the food table and worked my way through. I had to instruct the young lady pouring the wine that a glass is best filled to the brim rather than that pretentious partially filled foolishness. Made a complete guts of myself of course. The locals were in awe! Certainly showed them what an Aussie can do. Those Viet Congs will think twice about invading us!

A lot of talk about Canadia and no sign of Maple Demon. Typical sheila - never there when you need them!

In what? The asylum?

So you're another one making up stories Jazz? The truth is there were only 3 and it was all a bit of a misunderstanding - no harm done.

Message bank full? That must be posters trying to abuse you! Not popularity surely?

I'm telling everyone I'm a dairy farmer jazz

Greetings from Hanoi - no live footy here (except that Sheila's game) hot as .... . Two stories - my demons shirt attracted offers from a couple of local vendors - maybe they reckoned on cutting several local size shirts out of it. Entered a temple from the heat - I was lathered in sweat and no doubt florid. A little girl (5 or 6) looked at me and huddled close to her mum. I must have looked like some sort of ogre. I pulled a face at her and she started to cry - highlight of the day.

No Moonie, you pervert - simply trying to add to my knowledge on a variety of subjects. Your answer to (1) suggests very poor manners on your part Jazz!

I have 2 questions about protocols, or normative behaviour for dairy farmers, if you don't mind Jazz. When one approaches Blossom or Mary or whichever of your "girls" takes your fancy at that particular moment, is it good manners to politely ask before going for said teat. Second, given that the "girls" are blessed with four teats, is there any preference or accepted order in this matter?

Fair weather supporters would be accurate.
