Turtle I have been thinking deep poirot thoughts about you.
You seem very relaxed and very confident for a freshly painted poster :scratchchin:
You are a creature that lives in or near water <br>with a thick outer covering – a shell. A perfect place to hide, mais oui
Merthyr Tydfil is a mining town and its iron mines hide and burrow deep. A perfect place to bury oneself, or is my notebook deceiving me from… how do you say…ahh what you english call the obvious
An oeuvre is a defintive covering that embraces an entire work or study. Hmmm
Pit ponies – small and not easily seen.
I have been a detective for several years and I connect loosely associated facts and make some connective sense of them. N’est ce pas ? ÂÂÂ
flatcapgamble… there is a little quote button just over your head
Sacre bleu!  You are on to me Monsieur Gamble. You are too clever for me by un demi. I think I had better pull ma tete into ma coquille for a while. Au revoir. ;)

Turtle enjoy your evening, I have been out and returned with two red bottles, to blow zee detective’s brains out, ha ha.
I return le compliment turtle, and I make a further observation. You in fact are far cleverer than I, not only on here, but in la realite, I mean in the real world, full of copy and deadlines that dont concern me, and the foolscap that sadly does. ;)
My dog below makes further barking comment
flatcapgamble…of course the ‘man of the people’ lower case t and the picture were further clues, but nothing is certain in this half world of shifting images. You remain the turtle to him above…da sleuth with the flatcap. I’ll say this gamble, he’s a better Poirot than you are, even on his back :biggrin:  ÂÂÂ
:yikes: a caravan<br>
Gamble’s posts are not meant to be understood zorro. They are like abstract art, they have a hidden quality ;)
"The wonders of the web has only touched your writing when the sun had set, the ink was dry, and we were all addicts.
Why exactly was that ?" – Gamble’s question.
I consider myself to be Gamble’s unofficial translator and have studied his works extensively.
<br>"Les prodiges de la toile ont touché seulement votre écriture quand le soleil avait réglé, l’encre était sèche, et nous étions tous intoxiqués.
Exactement était pourquoi cela?"
Any clearer now? No, me neither…maybe it makes more sense in Spanish…

<br>Turtle speaks. (Dammit-the above was meant to appear as a quote-what am I doing wrong?)
Turtle speaks again.
No, I think Google has the answer as always.
"les merveilles de l’enchaînement a seulement touché votre écriture quand le soleil avait placé, l’encre étaient sèches, et nous étions tous les fanatiques."
Enigma code?
PS. Why hasn’t anyone responded to my knuckle-dragger thread Zorro? Am I your only fan? :clap:

Not wishing to drag you down Jilly<br> but not ten posts ago you claimed<br> to be unhinged. :biggrin:
I have been out on the downs this<br> day to recuperate the <br> intoxicating poisons<br> of last night.<br> Those very same poisons were<br> strangely to be found in le shopping bag<br> that swung onto my legs on my way home.
Zorro, there are many unanswered questions<br> in life no more than the legend of the masked rider.<br> I will not press you further, but wish to surprise you tonight.
Your mother chiquita was a veritable beauty <br> who knocked powdered spots off Zeta Jones<br> as she vamped as Elena Montero.<br> She stayed at Maw and Paws house<br> as a young girl. I wrote affectionately about her.
As for abstract art Racing Daily<br> I will answer that in the next post
flatcapgamble… am I in the racing section ?
The internet is a magical tool<br> and possibly the nearest any of us<br> will get to Christopher Robin<br> or the heavenly spheres.
Zorro, <br>a man breaking light sweat <br>who you have never seen before<br>and sitting in vest and underpants<br>just four miles away as the crow flies<br>has just risen, taken in the weather<br> and popped the kettle on,<br>but also in his ‘mind’ <br>has lined up some  impertinent quizzlings for you.
Q. Does that beefy mugshot in the press<br> bear any resemblance<br> to the current price of welsh hay,<br> or can you now stride the Bethnal Green road<br> with a lighter step <br>and incognito ?
Q. Our very own meshaheer is looking to follow your footsteps. What on earth would you have done if your pen had issued standard ink. Myself as a youngun I wanted to farm.
Q.. Do you still mainly bet in cash <br>and now that Mannings gone ( I think ) <br>who with.
Q.. Turtle mentioned writer’s block<br>    I have never encoutered that<br>    but don’t have deadlines like you. <br>    Is it like a physical disease for you<br>    and how do you counteract ?
Possibly Zorro may comment whilst tethering <br> his horse at the friendly saloon, unless of course<br> he is on another shwashbuckler.<br> ÂÂÂ

Gamble,
This masked character with the single star who just rode into town. Is it just me or is there something of the Marshall clone about him?

Ah, but are playwrights common among turtles?<br>As for me, I’m still stranded.
BTW Who’s Marshall?
Do I hear sharp intakes of breath?
Glenn, your own blue faced mask may well hide a thousand secrets, but no, the possibility is now a gambit two far, for my imagination and stuffed notebook.
 His cape did not rise to the challenge of telling us where he lived or the name of a man in a long ago article so maybe the smallest question mark flashes – engraved on his metal.
Ian just seen your post. Strangely when reading Glenn’s post the word Marshall completely slipped my conscious mind as if it wasn’t there.
 Turtle you are a strange animal indeed, but Marshall beats you by several ponds. He was a man that made it his lifework to copy me and bring havoc to a community of souls whom he finally destroyed in the biggest clone war cyberspace has ever encountered.
 God rest his soul I could write a book about his deficiencies alone. The man lived as dissolusioned illusionist – the biggest – and he reached for black stars, heel bent on domination.
