    No problem Gamble, good to see you post and hope you’ll stay a while. We need all the Lizards we can get around these parts.

    Even Nathan hardly helps with the dusting anymore :(

    Yes Mr Pilsen
    Nathan has left
    the lowly trip stone here
    for the highly esteemed
    lunatic area where a man’s
    worth is calculated solely
    on his clandestine figure.
    There some call themselves
    letters of the alphabet
    and mind bogglingly big numbers
    and are searching not for the meaning
    of life but for a way out and
    for something that may not even
    exist – while here we have
    found it – the true bottom
    of existence.

    This evening I have checked back through the
    titles of the whole lounge area
    right back to Phunter’s last post.
    Many might consider this a worthless
    pastime but for me it is better than
    leafing through a copy of E.P.Thompsons
    The making of the English Working Class.

    I hope to return when my schedule is
    more under control but at the moment
    it is hard payback time for years of sloth,
    lizard life, and living in easy street.

    Burlington Bertie might have found a way
    out but I cannot draw on anything
    but the freshly formed calluses
    that surround my fingers.

    CHA CHA

    Far better than the mistress of the keys
    you have the slender lady of the hats
    and sitting in the first row an admiring group
    of dust corn chomping dust mites
    eyeing up the feathers and hoping for a slip.

    Having laboured through my bleak service
    I seem to have omitted one important fact
    of some significance still sharp in my memory.
    As I lifted the phone of the video intercom
    the connecting springy wire came into contact
    and unsettled my first morning cup of cha cha.
    I lost half of it to the thirsty hall carpet
    and nobody

    repeat nobody

    interferes
    with my first cha cha of the day
    The grumpy old postie did not know standing
    downstairs like a human question mark
    that he had committed the first crime
    of his dies horriblis

    I have an even bleaker day ahead
    because of my two days here
    stretched out in the dust bowl

    Gamble , dear boy , nice to see a quick visit to the vaults of madness , you have been missed

    I fear the main body of the site has ground to a halt , while Corm gets more milk to refuel the cornflake posters ….

    Do try to drop by more often , BTW , I have contacted the sherrif of Gotham city and asked to organise a bit of liquid refreshment before yueltide , you of course are the star attraction , so do keep up and come along :D

    Mr Pilsen nice to see your diligence paying dividends

    Nice to hear from you, Nathan. I can well understand how you are busy with the more important things in life.

    I did try to PM you a few weeks ago but that doesn’t seem to work now, unless it’s been fixed…. and not to mention the clock :wink:

    Mr Pilsen
    Bleak service is sadly the norm
    in this fast moving world of blinking
    lights and forgotten people.
    Since the century turned
    into the naughties
    I have felt more and more
    like a number on legs and despite
    growing two more
    to escape into the fields
    with their green pieces
    and slow moving chattering wool
    there is no solace
    no protection and no respite
    from the big bad wolf world
    that is bleak service

    Houses or forums are random
    things and subject to unseen
    forces that shape and affect
    the direction they take.

    Some of the forces that
    shape them are seen though
    and if numbers can speak;
    word on the hill says
    its been a bleak year
    here in the snow

    Ricky I could certainly do with
    a krone and I dare say you could
    too after your exploits in death valley
    where temperatures reach 120

    Mr Pilsen you were quite right
    about my old mac covering these
    pages on a night

    l

    y fashion.
    My life has though changed drastically.
    and my recent contributions have given me
    the headache of backlog and the suffering
    of other people.

    My normal day now is sixteen hours
    of activity and I have no room for
    relaxation or pleasure. The last
    time I went to the pub was months
    ago and a recent doctor’s appointment
    was heaven, I had half an hour
    to relax with no interruption
    and allow my mind to wander.

    I looked in here last Wednesday
    and had every purpose to write
    the next evening but when it
    came to it I was too tired to
    even write a word, but had the
    measure of reading which I did
    for about half an hour.

    I feel a huge amount of guilt
    about writing now – but it is
    a good form of relaxation,
    but being in this situation,
    I realise why others possibly
    don’t contribute – they may like
    me not have the luxury of the time,
    or are simply exhausted.

    I have barely touched the markets
    in six weeks – food markets :mrgreen: yes

    ( Greetings Nathan )

    My drinking prospects are
    currently bleak Ricky –
    that will have to change
    and as soon as it does
    I’ll krone you. :?
