Red and Bluebeard

Uncle Bitter is no relation of Victoria's, by any chance?

You know the old saying OD -- one way to make a fortune is to run a large company, and another way is to stuff up the running of a large company. In other words, there always seems to be a teflon class of manager, to whom nothing ever sticks ...

Random banana picture for no good reason ...

Yes, that is a good one too.

The Eric Bogle song 'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' said it best, IMHO

What's that line again about the pot and the kettle, BBO?

Sad to hear, but hopefully this is their "PJ" moment, and they are able to extricate themselves from what sounds like a mess over the move to wherever-it-is well out of Brisbane. As ever, it seems that it is all too easy to destroy something that has taken decades to build up ... :-(

More like Knockturn Alley ... But then where is Borgin and Burke's?

Great to see you are back, DF. Keep those images coming!

Happy to do it, but no glasses here, jazza.

Nicely done, OD!

Agreed, but you left out mad buggers, OD ...

And what about jazza? A cow whisperer with bizarre uses for ancient artefacts like 4WDs? Personally, I think the "No T$ No B$" book would be a most entertaining read, from which the future researchers would conclude that this was a mad but happy bunch ...

No, I haven't, OD. Have you? I wonder what picture DF would find for this ....

Emu picking sure beats plucking pheasants ...

More power to you jazza -- that is as it should be. If you are in touch with DF, please tell him he is missed and we all hope he is ok too.

50 points for OD for erudite vocabulary (although if you said it was ancient Greek for 'stirrer' it would be hard to disagree ... )

That player is certainly in Cleopatra's financial league ...

A true compliment, of course.Seconded about the frogman. DF come back soon!

Which experience do you take, and what will you do with it? :-)

Jazza, I think this constitutes a declaration of membership in your stirrers club ... :-)

Thanks. One day I hope to read and write grasshopper ... :-)

Or is it a more, eh? And why is Les more only sometimes?

BB, you are turning into a fount of zen wisdom ... never disappoints

There is your problem right there, BB. Trying to give up thinking, myself ...
