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

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
January 15, 2012 at 19:15 #386993A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
Lots of newcomers with vigour and vim, replacing the tired old fellows like him.
January 16, 2012 at 01:37 #387028I suppose
that’s what makes the world go round
love and the old death carriageMac 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

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 ?January 17, 2012 at 21:31 #387197Pilsen’s not dead. Asleep I suspect, in his stripey pyjamas.
Curmudgeon and caution – yes, indeed.
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.
January 18, 2012 at 01:11 #387225Again 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

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.
January 19, 2012 at 01:21 #387330Unforgiven was on again tonight
The plot is so TRFI 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

I often wonder if
ID
still has an interest in being the big daddy?
February 7, 2012 at 20:10 #390243The ego and the ID.
Freud would enjoy it.
February 9, 2012 at 01:01 #390432The 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 soulFebruary 9, 2012 at 01:29 #390433Gamble, 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?
February 9, 2012 at 02:03 #390437And I was going to bed
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 saidFebruary 9, 2012 at 03:01 #390440Zarkava read bleak house
and report back.Gamble can I not
just watch
the DVD instead?February 10, 2012 at 00:07 #390558An 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.February 21, 2012 at 22:32 #392921lets hope the hibernation does not last too long , your posts get better each year
catch up with you soon
Ricky
February 22, 2012 at 09:32 #392961I 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.
Blackbeard to conquer the World
February 25, 2012 at 03:23 #393472Greetings 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 -
