There you go then, Barry. I live in the north, and don’t go racing in Britain much anyway because you just meet a lot of riff raff and it’s usually better on TV.<br>Tell us all you know then, please.:cool: <br>

It’s good to see this subject is being discussed on this forum. Seems to have been greeted with nothing more than a shrug on the other one.<br>Can I ask on here, as I did there: does anyone know:cool: either "Jock" or his boss? Apart from Seagull that is.<br>
I agree with you Gamble. That kick off post is splendid stuff indeed. We can only gaze in awe.:o
I should have added that I certainly do not regard you as an ogre, and that I am most grateful for the anecdote about the books and serendipity.
Do you by any chance live in Oxford? And are you fond of the works of Dr. Seuss?
Gamble, you seem to me to be a brilliant man (?) but an unhappy one.<br>I apologise for my ill manners in questioning your sanity.<br>Is there a record by the way for the number of apologies by an individual in a single thread? If so, let’s go for it.<br> I was prompted, however, by your implication that you had formed some sort of physical relationship with a sheep. (Do please correct me if I’m wrong). <br>This could not in itself, of course, be regarded as conclusive evidence of insanity. Far from it. Indeed the advantages of liaisons with our ovine friends rather than hideous, scolding, human harridans (presumably all that is available to them as an alternative) have long been acknowledged by men of wisdom and perspicacity who dwell close to nature, particularly in those rural communities where snaggle-toothery, inbreeding and Deliverance-like behaviour is more or less the norm.<br>The illiberal majority tends, however, to look askance at these, often very tender, marriages of convenience. I feel I should warn you therefore about flaunting your fondness for each other, particulary in the viler stews of the metropolis, at least until we move into a more forgiving and accepting age.<br>All this is intended, anyway, to let you know that I feel more than slightly sheepish.<br>As, I suppose, do you.<br>Z:biggrin:
Gamble, I begged you to get help.<br>:cool: I believe there is a quite decent brand of whiskey called Old Sheep Dip.
Not at all, Daylight. No-one could find much to object to in the remarks on this thread as not even a crack team of psychiatrists and crossword puzzle champions working day and night in loincloths could hope to understand them. <br>We could try reopening Bletchley Park I suppose, but I doubt it would do much good.<br>As a complete ingenu who didn’t even know how the star system worked (do you get extra stars for long posts, by the way?) I was simply wondering how long threads were allowed to last. If Gamble is allowed his wicked way this one may well outstay The Mousetrap.:cool:
Gamble et al, what exactly are you on? I only want to know so that I can steer clear of it.
A point of information: the mother of my children is not Welsh at all, unless some peregrinating Valley boy washed up on the shores of South China many generations ago (see how infectious your style is Gamble?) and had his way with a local damsel.
I am a little disturbed to realise that she shares a birthday with the President of Iraq now in custody – although to the best of my knowledge shares few, if any, of his characteristics. I would, however, be most grateful if you, Gamble, Glenn or Turtle (or even sane forumites, should any so wish) would care to comment on this coincidence. Is it, for example, enough to silence finally the fools who set store by astrology?
As a newcomer, may I ask whether this thread is an attempt at some sort of record. I mean, how many pages is it allowed before the Archcreepo finally puts it out of its misery?
And finally, you are quite correct in your belief that Prufrock is a tramp. I placed a counterfeit Turkish lira in the poor fellow’s tin cup only yesterday.:cool:
