Bitter but optimistic

Great minds wyl! I'm heading to Vietnam to enjoy some tropical sun at the end of this week. The "lads" will be looking after the estate in my absence!

RL ,you are assuming that WJ would meet the very strict criteria for entry to the GAT!

Your point is?

That's the spirit dc!!

Hey why don't you guys wait until Maple Demon comes online and invite her. Might give you some respectability. I suppose Biff could bring a couple of scrubbers, in case Dc's blue rinsers start to nod off before half time.

DC is easy to pick Jazz. He'll have a group of wrinkly, blue haired old sheilas hanging off his ... ( er) .... . Well I'm sure you get the picture.

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!
