Ah, the good ol’ days?
Enjoyed reliving this – and remember it just like it was yesterday. I did consider contributing back then but just felt I might spoil the magic.
I can remember Razeen’s sadly removed irreverent solution which I will not repeat, and Grasshopper’s involved stoking up and removing the rust from a few old boilers.
Since Gerald had his hoss removed Moe’s been looking for it everywhere – even places hosses don’t go – no stone unturned or mountain not climbed. Hardly been seen back in this fly circus or on the serious side. Strange how people get so connected to evil spirits ! Erm…
Call me a jaded cynic, but I am not entirely sure which is the more overrated – love or having friends.
I think the latter shades it in a photo finish, after calling for a print.

Love is a many- splendored thing – as someone once wrote, but look how that turned out.

gamble, I remember Gerald mainly for his avatar. Moe liked him, but not sure why. What’s this thing about his hoss?
Love is a bit like duck – it always sounds appealing, but the reality is a slight disappointment.
That said, I did have a splendid duck dish in a thick red wine sauce once in a restaurant in Honiton – I certainly loved that.

Moe has always pined for Gerald
It was a marriage made in cyber until his fibre hoss
was removed.You could say he went off
his head – and Moe she went white and turned to lead.A statue now but never seen in this parish !

I do like ol’ Moe, but feel a bit sorry for her with her lonely midnight walks and rare car journeys with a sanitized gearstick.
If she’s living in Waco
At least her heart seems to be
beating in roughly the right place.
As for Gerald
He might be sleeping
in an old Ford Mondeo
for all I know after
his spectacular fall from grace.Nothing wrong with an old clean stick.

and steealers off the the rim of my large latte or if not he’d get a fista.- Total Posts 2553
You should make a book of your tales or quips, whatever they are classed as.
Tales from the Quips may be a good title and you’ve sold at least one advance copy right here
Tankbuster good of you to try to inject some life in here over the recent months. As for me – I quite enjoy an ol’ splash from time to time in this dead pool of old corpsed memories, but real life is such a drag on my pen just now
Like Moe I miss the ‘old’ and there was a good mix of rebrobates who represented a challenge back then that added a piquancy that dead fly just can’t beat.., the Kotki gangs of Manchester the Beaty Uppy Peaty Sandys, the cut throat unmuzzled Razers, the piss’d off Pewters, the ‘no time is a good time’ Nixers and the repetitive Matts ( new kids on the block back then but now middly muddly aged men with equally muddly eyed looking Muppets to look after) the acid tongued Jilly boots and evil ACR1’s of this world ( I think Ian referenced the word challenging about me, but I would find some others equally so, including the man in black himself, but generally all less acrid and challenging now – and there’s the rub a dub dub of it all ). The short lived Wickermen who were blasted into eternity for a rude Hallo.
Alas old times are long gone, but in these current virus times Ginger still has a bit of fire and venom in his belly and the big Paul O is till resplendent on his wild old horse on journeys back to his ambulance blaring days. Wit is still an old owl of great force and knowledge and Glenn has gone to twitteroo but still lurks high in the trees. Drone still dancesI have written a lot in bursts of late, because I can see what’s coming – lots of undone work in my rearview that’s looming up in the shape of an out of control ‘artic’
I thank you for your five bob, but my written words are not of any general appeal in this world of amateur scribes of just short of excellence, unless I were to find a particular niche of the incredibly odd, and to perhaps distribute them in sealed secret packages to paid porters and pushers in places where the mentally different, challenged, and possibly insane hide themselves from the world or are forcibly secreted for their own apparent good, and those of Moe’s and other country and town folks sensitivities.
Ah Yorick…

That’s 10 bob the old duffer’s made now
Call me cynical but isn’t love just romanticised lust?
For me the fun was all in the chase, the more difficult the chase the better the reward – in truth I was probably quite a cad.
If I were I gent I would have a large number of letters of apology to write before I shuffle off my mortal coil, in reality I have apologised to those I really needed to.
Now, the urge to chase is still there but I know it’s now a pointless endeavour.
At my age it takes all my energy to raise a smile, never mind anything else.
Oh to be young again – but knowing what I know now.
However if there is a lady whose first name begins with Q who wants some fun then get in touch – that’s the only letter of the alphabet I’m missing for a “full set”

Don’t think Prince Philip would be too happy about it, Paul
