    I will refer once to the dark side
    before the cinzano winks its light
    goodnight.

    Many moons ago
    and very few
    if any on here
    ever frequented
    the birth of the
    Flutter boards,
    – so this will be fresh material
    to the heavy majority –
    moons long before
    Jilly, hopperlegs, and Matre
    there existed a deviant
    by the name of David Marshall.
    I took this deviant, who wrote then under
    the tag-name Pierse and
    one by one
    supplanted his inadequacies
    with positive forces,
    and him into a godlike character
    buoying up his reputaion
    with words of praise and wonder.

    For once and possibly
    the first time in his life
    he was a hero.

    I later crashed him wilfully
    and folornly on the rocks
    and turned him darker
    than the siberian wastes
    in the blackest of cold winters.

    Cruelly I changed him,
    slowly transforming him
    into the anti-christ.
    in a sombre tale of foreboding
    and dread with a double fork
    of chilling prophecy.
    I experimented with satanism
    to inject realism into the leathery words.

    Pierse hit back
    He wrought mayhem
    in what was a totally free
    almost unmonitored society
    by battling with me,
    a once good force,
    then tainted by evil
    by creating a war.
    The war was known as
    the clone wars.

    Marshal never left me,
    after I defeated him.

    I used merciless deception.

    He never forgot.

    He waged a particularly nasty
    personal battle against me.
    The evil in him
    felt and was real,
    it had a potency
    and malevolence
    that I believe constituted a true force.

    I accepted his messages
    with experimental interest and intrigue.

    A big mistake,
    but not my biggest.
    That was my filling him with the devil
    until he spat out the d
    to reveal his true newly formed self
    the unholy, unrighteous one
    who would stop at
    nothing to create havoc.

    His aim was to
    to seek revenge,
    destroy my mind,
    and from that perspective me.
    He had become the crouching menace

    A new day now dawns
    Enough –
    and get me from the
    dark ‘een side

    Good luck in whatever you decide to do gambers. I remember the time, a few years ago, that you lent me a spare key to a place with high walls guarded by a midget.I spent a good few hours in there and gained an insight to you at your most vocal.Strange,as it was in a Library where quiet is the norm.

    I may return there one day-Maybe I already have :wink:

    G- Just had a look at the email you sent me with details of where I should pick up the key for my flat cap wearing trip to the place called Gary.

    Do you know that it is dated 25th July 04 – How time has flown!

    I always keep copies-though not leather-bound.It’s not that important to me. J

    :wink:

    Jilly you have awoken the eye :?

    I creptin here
    post your post
    and did some tidying
    in an uneyelike fashion
    but at least the
    edit exposed me.
    The secret edit is one of the
    greatest crimes in this
    new magical house.

    I did think to reply
    to you
    but was so pleased
    with the high unscalable walls
    and the midget
    I decided they guarded
    the menace so well
    as not to be disturbed.
    I have a woman’s mind but
    it is not as subtle as yours.

    The eye only
    opened a year ago
    so I know of no email.
    This sounds like flatcap’s work
    a garrulous fellow
    who took up the pen when
    gamble died.
    Flatcap has more dark side allys
    than the messes in Mumbai
    and eye not only
    never trusted him
    but avoids him like the edit.

    Of Gary’s place
    you surely mean Gaaaary’s.
    A fine establishment
    of strong, flexible
    and sometimes deranged word
    but most important of all
    the art hangs beautifully there
    nailed to the walls forever
    with no edit janitors.
    I cannot praise it enough
    for its powers of sustainability
    dexterity and sense of history.

    The leather bound…
    ah I may expound
    later

    A woman’s mind me ?
    Oh for the wonder of it
    Yes for the guile and subtelty,
    but sadly oversized corned feet
    give the game away
    and the particle
    of tooth stored in an envelope
    on my left side,
    catalogued since yesterday,
    encased like a collectible pipe,
    or a boy’s annual.

    I am sadly disintigrating
    my hairy legs
    are smoothing
    into babys bottles
    the brain is weakening
    as it fills with spam
    oh yes and the bottom
    once arched in combat
    flops on a futon couch
    kerplunk !
    to exercise its cheek
    and hideaway
    in comfortable cotton

    Marshall you are partly responsible
    for this mess !

    I am morose
    as the sun lights up
    mountains of mess;
    papers strewn
    helter skelter
    over my tiny floor
    and me a man
    of so many heads
    but unable to deal
    with the boredom.
    of sorting them.

    I sit here with this
    little square escapist window
    the necessary
    breath on my tea
    circling to warn me of the cold
    and two cheeks on strike.
    Life aint bad is it ?

    Baaaaaaa
    I will draw the curtain
    and may put off
    sorting this god given mess
    born of my inactivity and sloth
    and scribe to the world
    instead….

    Why not
    You all need a lesson !

    Jilly been
    you owe me
    the midget is a monkey
    and that will do
    in payment for
    a day of splash
    here on these
    magnetic
    obsessive
    compulsive
    disorder
    boards.

    The carnage of
    paperwork sits here
    undisturbed.
    I went out
    to try to
    wash the words
    out of my hair
    and came across
    Clarkson
    as I hit the coffee bean.
    I don’t mind the bloke
    but go away
    Peter go away Paul
    go away Clarkson and
    particualrly Clarkson as
    his success offended me
    in that moment
    when my lips drank through
    two pounds thirty
    and I am no Brunel
    just an eye
    that might read a timetable
    and might just leave a tip
    of pig iron.

    This is one of my favourite tuneeees at the moment…

    should i give up
    or should i just keep chasing pavements
    even if it leads no where,
    or would it be a waste
    even if i knew my place should i leave it there.
    should i give up
    or should i just keep chasing pavements
    even if it leads nowhere

    i build myself up
    and fly around in circles
    waiting as my heart drops
    and my back begins to tingle
    finally could this be it

    or should i give up
    or should i just keep chasing pavements

    even if it leads no where,
    or would it be a waste
    even if i knew my place …

    You may know of it,Gamble. It’s by Adele, and is just beautiful- but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Even the big-nosed midget must have his admirers. I’m certainly not one of them.BFN :)

    I am very aware of
    the particualr pavements
    Adele shifts after….
    beautiful words
    but the slabs or slobs
    she refer to instil little.

    As for me I was
    scuttling along streets
    just an hour ago.
    Biting cold hit me
    as I entered open spaces
    of the park.

    I saw a solitary swan on a lake
    the same lake
    I took on Black
    to wrestle for the soul of Betfair
    and that day
    as some may remember
    two swans
    seemed to mould into one
    for a breath of time enough
    that I thought I had captured it.

    But elusive it possibly was
    and the illegimate son of betfair
    posibly had nothing but
    a dream in his head.
    Black sits back in a farm
    content with his achievements
    and I still scuttle along streets
    feeding in houses like these
    to alleviate my boredom
    and looking up at the jar
    above me
    that contains possibly nothing
    but thin air
    and a wish.

    As for the big-nosed midget
    this sounds less of an illusion.
    You should continue with your writing
    Jilly it is provocative arresting
    and always of energy.

    I will now wander
    to the fridge
    and as I go
    check the hall mirror

    Generally bright but a strongish wind

    Cut me off Server, cut the umbilical-Do clouds

    and pretty jilly.

    I have popped back to correct
    inaccuracies from a posting last night

    There was no wrestling for the soul of betfair..
    just a perceived and glorious acceptance of it.
    It represented a landmark
    and the shimmering lake where this all hapenned
    was the pond in Kensington Gardens.
    not a long stones throw from the Stakis Hotel (now hilton)
    where some time earlier I had booked a smallish
    room with a view to make my entrance on Betfair.

    Some old names may remember.
    As for the soul in a jar
    well again there is nothing in there
    but clear stale air.
    I am not daft.

    Jilly the words of yours
    in the weather report
    beat chasing pavements
    and have far more emotive appeal.
    You have always been contentious
    and slightly different from the other sheep.
    Don not graze too far away.

    Your Taunton thread still taunts me,
    and I can only think you received
    possibly some black mail
    via the PM.
    Who are these people you speak of ?
    Even Mack said it went over his head

    Lying in the crevice hole
    of the giant’s shoelace
    is me a big nosed midget
    totally deformed with little plan
    and so unlike the liquid monstrosity
    that is Betfair.
    Missed opportunities !

    I was to write about the death of splash,
    however as one of the famed splash writers Jillly
    appears back with us and in robust health, I will delay
    my report and hone it differently

    splash
    are those skimmed thopughts
    at the toip of the brain the idle fancies the prejudices
    often laced wikth menace they fleet by
    on a wisp and are rarely uttered or written down

    the old lounge is sadly missed

    suggesting it was better

    rose tinted or fact ?

    Two racing feather spitting death threads earmark the time periods

    Oh dear I think I have been demoted – Kathy

    Oh dear Ted Durcan – Mycean Princess

    both ladies lost their heads – one with a sharp unforgiving blade the other with an encirclement and a shove of hands

    Of course around the time of demotion there was Blah blah blah and kieth the Teeth started the thread with the words ‘ this place is boring ‘. Gnasher walked – it was a great loss…. he left his teeth which bit incessantly into the remaining horror and desolation

    Mycean Princess was a bit of a bitch on here if she wasn’t a male contributor that is

    Blind Dave is after a new eye.. I don’t think they do eye transplants
    he beat me 2-0 at Snooker last night, the 40 handicap was too much to claw back

    “the old lounge is sadly missed”

    Not by me – the 2023 version is infinitely better/more civilised.

    I no longer feel like I’ve stumbled into a particularly bad Future Shock or David Lynch movie when I visit here.
