    hi Matron

    Ceefax on the TV and a phone call is still the quickest and easiest way to bet if you’re stuck in a hotel room.

    Also good for French racing of a Sunday.

    Pity those who have never experienced waiting for the screen to turn over with 1st, 2nd, 3rd…….

    best regards

    wit

    Wit’s last post.!

    Obviously, Matron you have connections to Razeen’s last post
    However the buck stops at Peaty Sandy
    whose piles operation possibly sent him round the bend
    Oh and the stalwart politician Meshaheer who is six months gone

    Gamble,

    You obviously have a "soft spot" for Razeen or you are trying to "wind me up" for some hidden reason.

    Some, of the past members named were all banned for legitimate reasons; it is not taken lightly striking somebody off the membership.

    It is a shame that people like "Wit" has moved on to pastures new of their own accord though.

    Cormack has done a marvellous job keeping "TRF" going and everybody should be grateful for his dedication and effort.

    I still miss Craig terribly though.

    Regards – Matron
    :cool:

    I was at the top and descending an escalator at a tube station today when my eye spotted a book someone had certainly mislaid. I thought to leave it but catching sight of the title ‘ The Lost Continent ‘
    my hand reached out behind me to find it.
    In the carriage I opened up the first page and began reading

    I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to.
    When you live in Des Moines you either accept the fact without question and settle down with a local girl named Bobbi and get a job at the Firestone factory and live there for ever and ever, or you spend your adolescence moaning at length about what a dump it is and how you can’t wait to get out, and then you settle down with a local girl named Bobbi and get a job at the Firestone factory and live there for ever and ever.

    Hardly anyone ever leaves. This is because Des Moines is the most powerful hypnotic known to man. Outside town there is a big sign that says WELCOME TO DES MOINES. THIS IS WHAT DEATH IS LIKE.

    cont…. :lol:

    Hopper, glad to have your view, of course a chance read can be that more fascinating and fatalistic. I have the book beside me and will later divulge exactly what ion the first page hit buttons of the current ongoing discussion.

    Recent research on twins rather depressingly tend to suggest that a lot of choices in life are genetically based. As such the in laws will inevitably hold the secret to Bobbi’s later expanding hips and her being able to smile all day in the can factory, also the pears in her fishnets.

    Matron I have watched Jaws that many times
    I should have a large pair of water wings with Amity
    emblazoned across them
    As for winding you up, rub on shark
    repellent and see me as a false fin.

    You like Pewter are one of the original
    building blocks – the pannier and pump
    of this bicycle we call truffle. I have no truck
    with you….

    I am of to get a beer, this is reading like the peed
    piper of Hamlin….

    As for having a soft spot for Razeen, well
    no I wouldn’t say I was soft on the razor,
    but have to give him his due. He reeked of
    contempt and was as quirky as a baboon on heat.
    …. off to get a glass.

    HO HO Herr Hopper I am back to Des Moines.

    As for reading about fifties America and a sleepy town in Idaho with rockabilly lazy white beards and black flies that are so laid back they can’t even be bothered to vote on the cabbages – well it didn’t exactly make my day. It was the method of slow death that fascinated me about the opening passage and tied it to here with a short rope

    In Des Moines there’s a pub called the Waterstone tap. People end up on the mud outside, occasionally it must be said, but nobody, nobody dies there !

    Now here in the red-carpeted lounge there’s a tense atmosphere with a little red-hooded knife man crouching in the toilet. Overdo the beer and he’ll know – there’s a spyhole – and after a quick slash and a few strange movements he’ll be out there to get you.
    You’ll never grow an Idaho white beard, oh
    no your death is as quick as the yorkshire ripper and the liver birds he dispatched, and your lucky if your funeraled before being jettisoned off to black cyber hell – da boondocks

    and I thought krone was a clarifying lubricant :x
    The red-hooded knife man will change his appearance in the small room, He is the ultimate rectifier and swoops quickly to rectify the status quo; a house minus the belligerant

    I have no defense of Razeen’s action.
    He was a twat to take on Matron
    as I was years earlier.
    He lies buried under an interminable word pile
    in the guff of the association thread.
    I was exhumed after six months
    of hell banished to the outer fringes of cyber.
    I came back for my indiscretions
    Longshanks never can
    so it is written.

    Yes gamble I understand the job of the knife man. I thought you meant a specific henchman. In the daylight times they carried an axe.Corm is much more forgiving 8)

    Yes he is a progressive modernist executioner.

    Did you know that moderators also do toilet duty. It is well known they have a monthly chanting session.

    Here comes a candle to light you to bed
    here comes a chopper to chop off your head

    Dave Jay has been ticked off for being late and demanding a gun licence.

    I seem to remember that Bill Bryson was banned from Des Moine’s shopping mall because of the uncomplimentary things he said about the size of the local lasses; perhaps not because of The Lost Continent but The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid……
