Thread split! I feel a whole lot better!

I've been through Guildford on the way to Havant. Haven't been to the New Forest though.

Olly met him at a Surrey game, he reports that Guildford is the nicest person alive.

I think Guildford is now his Surrey mentor ever since Olly defected from Essex.

On a side note - I have trouble accepting emack's obsession with the All Blacks.
Says he's followed them since 1953... but he lives in Bournemouth? Something a bit wrong there the way he is constantly defending himself.

God I hope a civil war doesn't break out in Spain.

Can you imagine all the contemporary artists, musicians, movie stars and poets flocking in there to support the Catalan cause?

People like Christo, Bono, Madonna, Geldof, Crowe, Jackman and Jules would almost certainly use their fame and influence to have their say on it... and unwittingly (or not?) dividing the rest of us who wish to remain neutral. I'd hate to bear witness to a repeat of 1938-39.

He makes me laugh, especially how every thread turns into a description of how SA taught NZ the 3-4-1 formation in 1937, but done in such an illiterate manner that you wouldn't know what he was on about unless you already knew the history.
Remember when he started churning out articles of sheer gibberish, claimed that 606v2 had commissioned them, and then complained that no-one read them?
I generally get annoyed with repeated WUMs but it's funny when it's at his expense.

I used to edit and clean up his posts with kiakahaatearoa just so they were less painful on the eye. Some of them were very long posts.
The poor old bloke is dyslexic and went through a stage a few years ago when his computer was "playing up".

He claims to have 'PC dyslexia', whatever that is. I'm sure it's just fat fingers and laziness.

He's funny on Would I Lie to You?

Whatever happened to Kia?

He was last around in August... still in Madrid I think.

Gutentag Notches

Aussie Alan turns out to be pretty good once he started getting the hang of things, although he had shades of Smartly Dressed Barry earlier in the week. His car broke down this morning so he isn't in for the morning shift yet so will have to see how the receptionist takes to him. Am doing the winding down thing where I look everywhere for my things and realise I've only got a third of a carrier bag's worth of stuff here. Aussie Alan seems to have a massive chip on each shoulder but I don't know if that's because TLD is an outlier and this is what normal Aussies are like, or he's just an angry man. That said, he's a likable chap and willing to work so get along pretty well with him as long as I don't get told continuously, how police, doctors, nurses and soldiers and Mother Teresa are c*nts.

How is one and all?

Very good, and yourself?
I wonder if Aussie Alan and the Wrathful Kiwi are distantly related.

Not bad, and you might have something there Galted although theres no reddening of face or swearing under breath. Funny thing is though - he looks exactly like Zangief without roids.

Haha, the Wrathful Kiwi looks like Kreacher without the charm.

Morning all.

I've no explanation as to why he would be angry, Shah. Maybe he's just frustrated about wasting his time in some dead end job?

I always had a happy disposition working in London... but then again that was a different time but I had a positive outward-looking approach working with some really nice people. Happy times.

The Swiss-based Spaniards left this morning; time to have a small break before next week, next guests from Palo Alto.

There's still time for rick to post his quiz.

Seeing you liked mine so much. Thanks Jules.

It's 10 to 1 in the afternoon here.
I've just planted a weird gift from my neighbour. An Agave attenuata 'Nova'... big succulent plant native to Mexico.
It should thrive in the dry heat here. Just soaked it in water to get it up and running. Pool looking good.

Morning all, what have I missed?

You missed you posting a quiz.

Excellent, I look forward to catching up on that. I see TLD did one instead, I have to write one for Thursday also, so that will be another one to post.

Morning all, I michaelsed it good and proper yesterday...

rick_dagless wrote:Morning all, I michaelsed it good and proper yesterday...

Excellent work rick. Let's see if we can get past 8:03 today. Then onwards to thread split on Christmas Day.

Morning Rick.

It's not your fault though because apart from you, Julius, Galted and myself it seems nobody is really serious about getting to page 20.
Maybe if Shah gets a moment away from AA then he can help us push things along to our ultimate goal.

Thanks for the support in this difficult time, chaps.

Are we both well this fine day?

As well as I could be... until I got caught out editing my previous post just then.

This is another palindrome post by the looks of things.

How are you Rick? All under control so far today?

Close to a palindrome myself by the look of things, no doubt I will forget and it will pass through as though nothing had happened.

All good here mate, a pleasant autumnal morn, and faeces (so far) is nowhere near the spinning blades, which is nice.

You have guests over at the moment?

Some are arriving shortly... 4 people 4 nights.

Just checking to see whether I'm close to a palindrome...

Not really.

Would have been nice to do the post as a palindrome but that's way beyond my capabilities.

Here's a difficult sum instead:
346+1596=1942

In 83 posts you'll be 9999... then the 84th post 10,000

In 97 posts I'll be 47474

It's quality, not quantity, that counts.

Good call, actually, that will be 2 palindromes in 3 posts.

I agree. Quality not quantity. First on both counts and points made.

The Friday quiz seems a long way off at this juncture.

Did you sort things out with Ent?
I fear he's dodging the question and engaging in an ad hominem attack against you, Jules.
You need to bury his argument once and for all.
