Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

the hotels in dubai etc are generally managed by Europeans or other expats from south Africa or similar and more lowly positions by phillipinos or similar

despite our significant differences, though is suspect you often play games for effect, i would not actually wish you dead - or at least not until the new year, so as to drag it out a bit

last night it was 2005 gevrey chambertin, but tonight is a black tie dinner where tables/families are mixed up, so we'll drink the hotels offerings ..... however, I have brought down some 1963 dows and cockburns one of which I daresay will be opened for post-prandials with the friends who are here

I just bought a bottle of red Sancerre, which is often difficult to get.

I have been unable to buy Marie Brizard anisette. I am told that the Marie Brizard liqueurs are not imported any more. I don't know if you have had any of them, but they are the best liqueur company, closely followed by Bols.

All I have is plonk.

Thank god for the poor taste which my wife says I have.

The one who must be obeyed earlier on to day, ask me if I would drop her off in town.

With a smile I said of course, but added under my breath, which building!

She heard me.

Even now, at my age, you can understand why I am looking for a fourth wife.

Preferably, one which is deaf.

Ps.

The last time I wore a tie of any sort was at a funeral about 15 years ago.

It felt a little like a noose and felt lucky to get home.

Santa is on his way!

Cynic,

My New Year wish for you is that I survive a lot longer than you wish!

My thoughts go out to the 50,000 still without power today. Cannot imagine it, and of course the flooding. Very sad.

True.

Yes but the chances are that most of them probably voted for the "Con" Party, so what comes round go's round as they say... not to worry to much then.

The ''Con'' party cannot be blamed for the weather. Come to think of it shut up Stan.
:-))

DC,

Off course it can be blamed.

It says it is in charge of the country and make claims for everything that is getting better.

Wavey Dave for Emperor.
