Bitter but optimistic

On an entirely different topic, I,sadly, must report that our rarely valued colleague Biffen, has been ordered to undergo rehab for the next two weeks. In order to show that he intends to change his ways, Biff has decided to isolate himself from family and friends at The Gat. The truth, of course, is that, Biffen’s family disowned him some years ago, after a particularly unsavoury incident or, actually incidents, involving a (formerly) maiden aunt and a few sherries. Further, due to a number of distasteful personal habits, Biff has no friends. Despite all this, Biff claims he is genuinely trying to reform, but in the absence of Lordweaver’s firm but god guided hand, his prospects, I believe, are bleak. The “Lads” have offered to help, but Biffen, immersed in drug assisted self pity, has rudely rebuffed them. I will, nonetheless, try to assist poor Biff in anyway I can but any suggestions for his personal development will be passed on.

[censored] off Moonie!

I was going to ask if you got some sort of tax claim out of it but then i remembered you are in a tax free industry

[censored] off Moonie!!

Sensitive souls - where on earth did you rip them off from find them!!!

In fact to paraphrase Groucho -" I wouldn't want to be a guest, if Biffen wanted me to be a guest"!!!

Come on Biff - you are hardly in a position to judge dinner guests!!

The "paraphernalia" on the table is a giveaway. Biff has obviously supplied (at an outrageous price) the poor bastards with some dangerous backyard concoction.

Is Zoe a blue rinser Red? If so, contact daisycutter - perhaps he and WJ could have some outings together? DC knows the scene, euchre parties, bingo, afternoon tennis, swingers parties - a new world (?).

A rhyming couplet! How clever of you Fl og!!

You might have at least put them in Melbourne colours Fl ogger!

No prob Moonie you tie their back legs to the Quad bike and take them wherever you want. BTW DC - the lads are none too happy about that picture turning up in a public forum

How could one take offence with that? So you can count Moon! Yes but they are always genuinely regretful the next day.

Sticks and stones. Sadly, once again, I need to consult the brains trust of this thread for personal advice. It’s a bit like “Dear Dorothy Dix” or perhaps “Heartbalm”. Anyway, today, I was described as a “thoughtless pervert”. What am I to make of this? How should I have responded? I don’t believe I am thoughtless. I have many thoughts. (Some, I admit, impure) Such a comment questions my intellectual credibility. It questions the whole notion of “ I think therefore I am” that some wog fella came up with. I am befuddled. What is the proper response to the very hurtful label of being “ thoughtless”?

BTW, I it with mmmmph ... sad mmmph ...sadness that I note Fl og has "defriended" me. I'm very mmmmph ... hurt . I never been defriended before. Of Course I've never been "friended" before either. Anyway Fl og is an ungrateful little [censored] - considering everything I've done to for him. I'm quite hurt about this. Just Joking!! HaHa ! HaHa !

"Then Fl.og will come along and wreck it." Yet again, you have read the chook's entrails successfully Biff!

BTW Mable - while I'm giving advice. Ignore any of Moon's blandishments - he is a dirty old man. Remember, trust Uncle Bitter !

Better not to ask that question Mable. Now here's the secret. Song lives with a bloke on the filth's list. So obviously he duds him for rent, bills, dental expenses etc. However, said filth person is also out of the house frequently doing physical type things like, running, weights and general training. Song uses these times of absence to do his own type of training with the filth player's girlfriend. Quite laudable really but Song likes to think he is discrete!

Yes! I do that in my "man cave" but, I have obstacles, the roses are very dangerous and the "lads" tend to eat the softer blooms.

Merely an observation Red, however, you must recognize the realpolitic of what I said. Better the honest bullshite of dland rather than the dishonest bullshite that we face daily.

It drives the world in many ways Red.

Thanks for the advice. I'll go with Mable's idea - dishonesty seems the most straightforward solution.

That too, seems excessive RTG. However, I thank you for your concern.

Some advice needed! Had to visit my GP this week to have the Brazillian checked out. Her comments went something like this - DR. Now that (problem X) has been sorted out, we need to work on your general health. I sat quietly, as I could see where this conversation was going. DR. Your drinking - it is foolishly excessive! (my lovely GP i8s of Eastern European heritage and is quite authoritarian in her manner.) I continued to sit timidly. DR. Your first aim must be four alcohol free days per week. I began to swoon. DR. What is is wrong? I said that I didn't think I could drink enough on the remaining three days to make up for the four days abstinence. DR. Don't be foolish. Record your daily drinking and see me in two weeks. Now as I am quite terrified of this woman I shall "fudge the books" and show her a totally invented record. I could, of course change physicians, but apart from her very conservative view of a healthy intake of wine, she is very good. As there appear to be plenty of drunks and addicts on this thread, I would welcome your comments.

Agreed DC. The lack of moral guidance on this thread is sadly obvious. Biffen in particular needs to be chastised for his lustful godless ways. A good chastisement would also be of benefit to Loonshadow... and probably Jazza and ... Bbub and ....
