I thank you for your words Jilly<br> and take them all on face value.<br> I am pleased to have scored<br> over the ubiquitous one<br> whose stock is of high value.
Of course it does beg a question<br> can one love a phantom ?<br> You would suggest so<br> which leads us nicely back<br> to the opera and the mask of Zorro
It broke new ground in burn
I took your unbridled declaration of love seriously Jilly<br> until I researched and found you were prepared have  <br> the above operator’s love child in return for a million squids.
Of course Glen asked me to vouch for Zorro’s cape.<br> Glen himself has a long deep history in the Betfair pond<br> and is far better known than Marshall and his seven clones all chattering together<br>  ÂÂÂ
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.
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.
Full marks to Razeen – biggest – gold braces

apracing picks up a special black belt prize for an adieu that broke the bank at monte farlo.
 Apologies for reviving this thread and the lack of horse.  As an aside turtle writing is not uncommon among playwriters..

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
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 ?
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>
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
Turtle you will write much more easily on your back :)
Having skewered this stellar thread out of orbit<br> I will make amends and ground it back into<br> the swordman Zorro’s lap.
Paul Haigh, I do not know of anyone who has made such an unusual and novel entrance to this wobbly<br>place of opinions. Might I welcome you and later direct one question towards you that is of some interest to me.
You have received a warm welcome, in this place where people come and go. Ardross is your one detractor it seems, but a small and scattered windy village in the cold highlands might find little in common anyway with a man of seductivey slippery words from cosy cardigan bay. ÂÂÂ
My question is this and Ian touched on it earlier.<br> 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 ? ÂÂÂ
Oh dear is it that long<br> I and others have been marooned<br> at the mercy of  these tipsy tides of derision<br> Will Self will have me down as a gibberer<br> as I recall his haunting line
" Who the f*** needs to surf the web "
An unfortunate selection of words<br> and thank you for restoring order Rory
I don’t think anything or anyone can save us<br> this is an island of chitter chattering jackanapes<br> we’re all doomed
Not really unsure Ian,<br> I couldn’t find Mannings on google<br> but a bookie would know them<br> I need to touch the wounds see<br>
Sorry Ian you slipped a post in without me seeing which is unusual.
Might you give Paul one further question about the interior of where he worked. You might possibly know his brand of cigarette, or something like that. After all he might be having good google at us. ;)
Well Paul, I am glad I didn’t diss your writing in any way, in fact you owe me I have read you for years :cool:
:biggrin: Creepo will be along shortly
<br>ps.. NV they are closing the hall next year for a revamp…might be worth waiting for the five star flipper cuisine. There is an excellent kebab joint on the Kings road – no grease
