Bitter but optimistic

You are on the money as usual Dazzle! In @WalkingCivilWar 's neighbourhood quaffing spewmante by the schooner is considered a trendy wine tasting.

I did indeed picket and ...... as usual........ your advice on matters alcoholic is exemplary !

But why Red? The "squeaky wheel" gets the oil. Are we not squeaky enough? Is our profile not important enough? I thought having contacts and getting funding etc was one of Roffey's strengths. We appear to still be an irrelevant club. I'm not having a crack at you here - I just don't get it.

A pessimistic optimist, I would say dc.

Perhaps ...... err ..... a visit to one of The Manor's special functions might broaden your horizons WCW? !!

.... and I always thought such behaviours were peculiar to certain soirees at The Manor.

I watched a fair amount of last night's game RTGand thought the same thing. I'm wondering whether the umps have been instructed to keep the frees down. It certainly adds to the play on free flowing nature of the women's game. As a poster noted above the women's game is evolving in its own unique way . This is a good thing of course as it will always be "different" to the men's game

Well.... you don't really need a map to find it Mazer.

Fair enough Saty, no doubt you've seen a lot of him at Casey. Nonetheless, It's the big time that counts and I'm keen to see perform on the "G.

The club clearly has big plans/hopes pinned on this kid. His development over summer and, hopefully, his debut next year will be fascinating to observe. I hope he's as good as many on this forum have claimed.

Just noticed there's a new emoji thing available on Demonland. It is now possible to admit, "I've got the clap", without shame.

Mmmm ..... Latin. Were you once an altar boy Stiffie?

I hope that was profitable for you od !

When in doubt, keep your money in your pocket od.

No pressure kid !

Thanks Nev ....but I think I'll just stick to the Shiraz.

[censored] me me Nev ! You [censored] are talking a foreign language.. The only time I use hash ( apart from the odd smoke) is when I finish a voice message.

You're quite right Neil @Sir Why You Little is a shady looking character and the Border Force Lads and Ladettes were looking like locking him up. However, good old Uncle Bitter was on the scene and invited them all out to The Manor for a barbie and a decent red ( not the best stuff of course) and .... naturally ....problem solved. It will be a Cup Day Barbie so I hope the [censored] bring a decent tip to replenish The Manor's coffers.

I believe @Ethan Tremblay has ….err … “issues “.

Wow ........ how surprising.

"behind the green door" ?

Well I’m a fan of Mario Lanza - not sure what that will add to the conversation though .

Odd that you say that Quean D as I have recently been reflecting on my state of mental health. I have concluded that yes,while I certainly am deranged , I see no point in attempting any change to the status quo

What’s unusual about a bottle of Shiraz for breakfast?

No argument from me picket!
