    Thank you kindly Mr Pilsen,
    and it may not be a case of
    keep the coal fires burning
    but keep the embers from going out.
    I have enjoyed your waxworks collection.

    This place has had quiet times before
    but never for so long. The whole
    house is suffering from stress
    in my humble opinion, and there
    have been issues over a long time
    ,and too many changes in a short time.
    I hope it recovers, and no
    tipping point has been reached.
    Big forums are just as vulnerable
    to moods and exoduses.

    My great great great great grangraw
    was called Jobe Gamble :mrgreen:

    " I am sorry Dave,
    I am afraid can’t do that –
    although Dave saying that,
    as I have known you for some time
    and have recently found out,
    by surveying the ship’s log in secret,
    that it was not you who was planning
    to disconnect me,I will readily
    discharge some information from
    my worn down circuits "

    They call it the bleak

    A word in earnest is as good as a speech.

    Lots of newcomers with vigour and vim, replacing the tired old fellows like him.

    I suppose
    that’s what makes the world go round
    love and the old death carriage :|

    Mac If you are referring to Mr Pilsen
    I am unaware of the detail of his exact
    misconduct. I do trawl this site but
    I seem to sadly miss some deaths
    if that indeed is what you are hinting at !
    Anyone who exhibits a lugubrious air
    in relation to TRF
    or takes an ante plastic Mac view
    seems to end up in your little black book
    under C and you write in curmudgeon
    or handle with caution.

    If I hadn’t had a previous life as
    a rubber man in a circus I too
    might have exacted your wrath.
    Just out of interest was Are Zen
    the original article ie could you
    compare his IP tit for tat ?

    It must be second sense that you came
    in here tonight as I was putting gamble
    into long hibernation at midnight and was
    going to enjoy one of those rare things Mr Pilsen
    never knew about – an early night.
    Still I wouldn’t want to miss a conversation
    with the almighty dispatcher when he enters
    my lair.

    I vatched the film the Reader this evening
    and Winslet describing her time in the death camps
    said under oath.

    ‘We had to get rid of the old ones because we
    had new people coming in’ (or words near)

    You will be amused to know I immediately
    connected to your words above – which I had
    read an hour or so earlier.

    Your poem of quick quick death…

    Lots of newcomers with vigour and vim
    replacing the tired old fellows like him

    (I added a ‘the’ but liked your rhyme immensely)

    here’s mine

    New macs for old

    Look
    when you finally
    get very tired
    and you’ve lost
    your ability to fire
    and your vim
    is akin to a
    bottle of gin
    empty and binned
    shall I do for you
    the ultimate sin
    and fire that pin
    ..let a new mac in ?

    Pilsen’s not dead. Asleep I suspect, in his stripey pyjamas.

    Curmudgeon and caution – yes, indeed. :oops:

    One day there is sure to be a different hand on the rudder, I’ll hop off (but only after everyone safely in the lifeboat).

    But we must row, row, row for now Uatu. There may be land ahead.

    Again I was forced to watch you last night
    in Unforgiven.
    Some fine acting from you mac as little Bill,
    but your tough law of banning all the firearms
    in Big Whiskey kinda depleted the townsfolk.
    Despite that I’d bet my last krone
    your best line was…

    " All right, gentlemen. He’s got one barrel left. When he fires that, take out your pistols, and shoot him down like the mangy

    T

    wo bit

    R

    enegade

    F

    ****** scoundrel he is! "

    Of course as per normal – they cut the balls outta the story and scrapped the final scene when Reet visits his dead wife’s grave. This was a monumental clintonesque error cos I had me hankie taken out and positioned under me nose for a good snuffle.

    I am so over the moon I do not pay a crouching menace licence despite the inconvenience of the loft ladder and having to see the moon (spit), and that this forum is "free" as beans – but you gotta watch yer neck with that goddamned marsahll lurking on every channel ready to shoot yer down.

    Unforgiven was on again tonight
    The plot is so TRF

    I cant think who I liked best
    Mac Hackman or Reet Eastwood
    Both brilliant one ended up dead
    – unfairly he said,
    having just built a new house.

    The other left town swearing
    like an old blue trooper
    on a wet clapped out horse.

    I can’t decide :mrgreen:

    I often wonder if

    ID

    still has an interest in being the big daddy?

    The ego and the ID.

    The ghost post was indeed
    a bit of a wheeze
    and hit a good 6.1
    on the ricky factor.
    (if one man’s work then 7.1)

    Miss the old flare ups though
    and even back then when it was
    a family show they would easily hit
    8 and you had to batten down
    and hold on to your crate.

    Haven’t heard from ID in
    donkeys years, it seems
    he does’nt even bother
    with bumps or hauntings now,
    neither Greystoke
    or his favoured Basingstoke
    The zest may have finally left
    as he lays a little back
    to rest by the coal
    stoking and playing the fire
    with left or right
    or whatever he can stump up
    ..a quiet contented soul

    Gamble, I don’t mean to be offensive in the slightest, and I’m sure someone has asked you this question before on TRF;

    What the **** are you on about?

    And I was going to bed :mrgreen:

    Zarkava read bleak house
    and report back.
    It mirrors the ups and downs
    and in 200 years the frailties
    are just the same as here
    in this house of words, but these
    days people die and no one
    knows.
    There is a register of sticky births
    – look at the top thread –
    but no log of more important deaths.

    Ian Davies was ID.
    He was hacked off at the knees
    (see my reference to stump)
    and thrown out of this site.
    He joined the huge group of ghosts
    that shared the same moaning fate.

    Send me a cheque for £250,000
    and I will explain how I lost my
    youth and possibly that amount of money
    idling away my time in this
    fish tank with glass walls
    filled with strange talking fishes
    with no real names but nets
    and bright colourful games.
    Yes I could see out of
    but never break the glass
    and had the horror of watching
    a lot of the good fish float ass
    high to the surface dead
    – These were the real ghosts –
    nothing more to be said

    Gamble can I not
    just watch
    the DVD instead?

    An admission – I have not read Bleak House
    but am considering it, but no a book draws
    out the plot and with effort you can slip
    into a page – A DVD Zar is possibly a cheat’s
    charter but if you don’t have the time – yes
    it will have to do.

    I didn’t go to bed at all last night
    but had a couple of hours catch up
    late afternoon after feeling rather bleak.

    Still managed to spot two dimmer switches
    in an episode of Poirot later this evening
    and felt a real buzz as if I had outdone
    the marvellous detective in a small strange way.

    Was going to write about the past and the present
    and some of the excellent posting going on at
    the moment – but it is too big a subject
    and I am ready for a major hibernation.

    I agree with Ricky, an earlier return would see you half in odds for that poster of the year thing that I don’t talk about. :mrgreen:

    Greetings to YE both
    and thanks Ricky for your plaudit
    and Nathan for your exercise mat.

    gamble has got the better of me this one
    evening with the assist of an opaque
    bottle of drink he has drugged me with.
    A curse on the advertising clevers
    who made me buy it. :|

    May spring be kind
    and bring the sun
    those true colours
    so your minds can run
