Isle of Man? no you need to visit Portland. The gene pool is even smaller there if you see what I mean.

I do a good snake and pygmy (pud not pie) which would only exclude vegetarians from pan-cultural acceptance. Using pigmies would make it both Haram and rehsoK (I do not add an oyster). However the Anabaptists might think the cook too proud to fully enjoy a bowlful.

You would certainly enjoy a bowlful if Faversham had anything to do with it.

I hope you are spelling that correctly! I am sure the staff would welcome some new company in servants' hall.

I cannot offer accommodation for your horses, the stables next-door having been demolished, but there is room for a carriage providing it is no bigger than a brougham. Would you be bringing a footman as well?

(Internet connection sorted at last. Loads of catching up to do now.)

Open the pool bar please Steward. I fancy a drink and a swim to help me with my catching up.

Where are you? The pool bar has not closed since we started festively decorating it and wrapping the Ex-lax chockky in Cadbury paper ready for All Hallows Eve. If you cannot see the party lights then possibly I should ask "where am I?"

Ah the ex-lax, just a couple of steps below Movie prep (depth charge). I find chocolate covered Brussel sprouts effective. It tends to discourage the little devils from coming the following year.

Seems appropriate. Day of the stiffs celebrated with a few stiff ones. Have a good night.

Too late to get here for the Melbourne Cup this arvo anyway, even on nuclear, I suppose?

Going to be an enjoyable day for those attending:
  • Freezing cold
  • Thunder
  • Lightning
  • Hail
  • Pouring rain
  • I suppose that one of ES's Irish horses will win anyway
  • Overall bloody miserable
  • No parking anyway - there are three cruise boats here already.

Yes so I believe. Plenty of flooding there and also some parts of here in the fillys.
Feel so sorry for all those affected by the flooding. I know first hand having been flooded out a few times before we elevated the house.

Bogor-off. Xmas Island looks as if its only horse died a long time ago. If they can muster one lesson and half a bar of God Rest you Merry I would be surprised.

(And it seems rather close to those meteorological turbulentual heavals that keep assaulting you Sir W. Why would you want us to share your windy deluges?)

At least let us go somewhere temperate useful where I can stock up on some more Colheita without having to pay the freight.

It might be thought that I would relish somewhere warmer and drier for Christmas but now I have one cavity tray fitted (at three times the estimate I can't afford the further six that would, conventionally, be required) I do not presently need even one bucket and so far the overnight temperature has called for more than three cats by way of thermofeline counterpane anchors.

Still recovering from last years stramash in Belfast. BB enquire if Lisnave is able to take us, its a nice location with their wee custard tarts and cod in spicy sauce (I'm right well sick of turkey and all the trimm... crap that goes with it).
Lord Laxey and cornaa can bulk buy the grapes trodden by gays, the papishes can get a coach to Fatima and Tmax can learn wind surfacing in Cascais.
Good to Go.

A lot of responsibility being put on the port-side-footers in that post E-S, wouldn't want anything queer tasting in my cellar. You don't suppose there's anything wrong with that Faversham chap do you, better get his feet checked out

Whatever the gender into which one prefers to spend, the taking of port can lead to post prandial visions (as well as a little difficulty in the spending department). I wonder if the young lady had had a fine repast, Scrooge put his rendezvous with Mr. Marley down to undercooked potato and we know those in your heathen neck of the woods can produce something hallucinatory from that humble tuber. Lucia, I fear, had dined not wisely but too well (to coin a phrase).

Cook would not forgive the foregoing of turkey. It is only twice a year after all. December 25th, with trimmings and then January, curried.

Laksaa & Cornaa

"grapes trodden by gays"

Quite so.

£450 per bottle.

"Dont touch what you cant afford"......as Faversham is wont to say.

I mentioned gays unintentionally but to be fair to all I will open the trodding to anyone who belongs to the LGBTQIA+ family.
This Faversham dude may have difficulty matching wine to, wine to.... just lets change the subject to nurses, telephonists and girls from the Agents office.
The Dude's Discharge Book says he is on the spectrum, is this an additional qualification?

KG 5 Graving dock Southampton will be available over the Crimbo period. Everything we like will need will be available there. And ES can enjoy the wonders of the Horse and Groom and the Juniper berry.

Billy me oul mucker I was in college in Soton 1973/4 so I have previous. KG5 is still there minus a gate, a minor inconvenience for a man of your talents. The Horse & Groom closed in the early 70's but i'm sure there are others who will fill the hole. Update your gazetteer like a good man.
