Bitter but optimistic

TMac, BBB and a couple of others were taking set shots on goal from the pocket Choco was supervising — “kick through the ball” was his mantra. Had a brief chat to TMac — he looked really trim and fit. He said he felt “ pretty good” An understatement, I’d say.

Perhaps discovering what is under Uncle Bitter’s kaftan would be a fitting punishment!

My closet only holds my extensive colletion of designer kaftans and some other bespoke items for those 'special' moments. Agree entirely with your Solomon like wisdom Red. I move that WCW be banned from this thread for an audible obscenity.

I'm barracking for the mozzies!

I think the bloke with the nifty tash might be picket himself. (before the grog got a hold of him)

I'm not certain what the mozzies would make of my skin tight figure enhancing latex Goffy.

Jeez, a sensible thread has been turned into minced meat.

I'm surprised that posters were unfamiliar with the words termagant and harridan. They were in common usage in 19th century writing and before. The Victorian and part of the Edwardian eras must have been wonderful times. In moments of bliss, I imagine myself as a disgustingly rich mill or factory owner, abusing my power in the most dissolute ways. Arrh what might have been!

This stuff should be banned alongside the unnameable on this site. I have sat through Harry Potter movies with smelly and disgusting chidlers . An altogether nauseating experience!

Next time I'll go with harridan!

Pleased to have enlightened you Red. Surely you must agree my usage of that word was elegant, accurate and appropriate to the context.

Bah to you all - particularly lawyers ! As to WCW - good lord ! A demented termagant if ever I've seen one ! I wish myself a prosperous and ever more decadent 2023!

He was probably sinking a few frothies to bulk up. Training regimen.

Jeelong notwithstanding, I have always held a clear and unflinching view of your sanity picket.

Yes sadly dc , the lads have departed this mortal coil. They are now chasing their allotted 70 virgins in the alpaca afterlife .

That is approximately my plan Red.

Red, I am very pleased that you are suffering WCW’s company - far from The Manor!

So Martin Flanagan has a delusional mate. What's this got to do with anything Stiffy? I have delusional mates ...... FMD ..... I'm delusional most of the time. I just don't know when.

Is the new Pres any relation to Bert?

May you all get what you deserve!

Very eloquently put picket !!!

I have only scanned this thread ...... but my tuppence worth is .... I'll stick to real footy ( Aussie Rules) and cricket ...... the rest can GAGF !!!!

I haven't looked at the survey LDC but I'm guessing the typo refers to non victorian clubs and/or players.
