    They don’t come much bigger or redder than Ayers Rock!

    "when the reezan thread
    deals its decisive hand."

    It has taken a while Gamble, but I have waded through the "reezan thread" and insomnia apart,by what I can make out there seems to be a consensus that the posts on TRF are lacking somewhat in the quality stakes these days. Neil Watson apart, take a look at the pathetic, witless and juvenile responses to a reasonable enquiry at the beginning of this thread for instance. There are still quite a few gems to be found by using a very fine riddle. Not so much wheat from chaff as grains of sand from chuckie stones. As for insomnia, well I have found that the complete lack of a conscience and a few copious draughts of Rioja will carry one to the land of nod as soon as the ankles are level with the ears. javascript:emoticon(‘:wink:’)

    JTS – Just a wee bit anal retentive ,,,, perhaps. 2 – 4 must have sweetened the pill considerably. Don’t worry …… Be happy!

    Oh dear, oh dear Gamble, I’m really sorry your are in such dire straights (sic).I can’t imagine what’s going on with you but if a short pm to me to put me in the picture would ease both our cases, do it now, please. You never know such a numbskull as I might find an quiet route for the inevitable way ahead.

    Gamble my ol’ mate, how nice of you to respond to one of my posts. I feel quite wasted. I can’t think why you considered me as the alter ego of that young guilded/gelded long necked pond dweller. As for the Devil Gate Drive chantuese, well, wet dreams are just about a thing of the past for me these days. I just sort of limp along from day to day. Fortunately I’m still gainfully employed which keeps a glimmer of interest by the SOH in my ageing form.
    Hope you are keeping in some sort of rude health yourself. I had a swatch at that Harino site and was quite impressed, but the thought of a CD-ROM disc dropping on the door mat filled me with dread. The "we know where you live" syndrome.
    Have you been aproached regarding an anti blue tongue vaccine yet?

    Whatever happened to "Innocent till proven guilty"? Mind you, to mix threads I’ve just finished reading "The Innocent Man" by John Grishom. Horrific but true!

    I noticed a poor unfortunate thoroughbred which had the misfortune to be named Fluffy entered at Beverly the other day and I reckon that must be the worst name I’ve seen for a racehorse. Mind you, Oops comes a close second. The cleverest in my opinion was Wsixtimes and the most outrageous name I think was Mary Hinge. I would be interested to hear if anyone can top that lot.

    I’ve just finished ploughing through "The God Dillusion" by Richard Dawkins and I must say it made for some fascinating reading. Mind you as he kept banging on about his web site, I had a look. What a disappointment. A typical American marketing affair. You can buy tee shirts, books, DVDs and even base ball hats! He lost a bit of credibility which is a pity as he makes a good argument for his atheism. Got a bit out of my depth in the meme pool chapter though.

    I could find myself unemployed if during my anual medical my body mass index is above 30. Nothing like the prospect of a P45 to keep one away from the cookie jar.

    This is great! my first inrtoduced thread where I haven’t been howled down by the likes of Diane Avis etc. I must admit that I do appreciated the air freshner smell of the commision agents but the smell of a smoke free pub is going to take some getting used to. Didn’t realise there was so much body odour about. Bring back the Lifebouy adverts!

    As a displaced Jock living in England for what seems like a thousand years I have been feeling quite smug about the smoking ban north of Hadrians Wall and east of Offas Mead. Well pleased to be drawing off in bookies and bars until recently. But as of the last few days I am finding it a bit discomforting to find that this particular pleasure has now been outlawed.You can smoke in the street but it will cost you £80 if you drop your fag end in the gutter.
    As someone who has less years ahead than behind, I can’t help feeling that maybe this particular piece of legislation could have been phased in much like the seat belt law and let us old carcogenic candidates fade out naturarly, albeit expensively and painfully. Surely this is all about choices, be it for the proprioters of establishments and/or their employees and their customers. This whole idea of the nanny state is getting on my tits, For health and safety read you have been informed of the dangers so don’t blame or sue me or put me in prison. So what! As if I would!
