Excuse My Absence...

Hello upper echelons of the Chit Chat persuasion,

Week from hell, compounded by the fact that I have effectively been offline due to a conflict with my router.

I hope you are all well. I am very much looking forward to a weekend of unadulterated self-indulgence.

I spent this evening teaching junior snakes how to box. My jaw hurts.

Evening Snake, i recall my days with my dad doing the very same but it was jaw my that hurt Good to see your up and running, you've not missed a great deal tbh. I 'm struggling to find a bet at the moment as i'm not big on summer jumpers, aw runners going off the boil and no real form to go on yet on the flat.

Welcome back Snake. And don't worry, both forums are moving so slow you can catch up on the last week or so by just glancing at their first page.

Evening BOAT and Frase,

I hope both you gents are well.

Off downstairs to check out Question Time now the kids are safely tucked away. Ms Snake will doubtless return in her own sweet time (and complain about my consumption of our wine stocks in her absence). Not that the aforementioned will lack the vague aroma of alcohol about her person.

Yes, you have both shits AND cunts. Hague, Cooper, that bald bloke who was famous for a fortnight who can't pronounce his own first name, fuck me, add Matthew Wright and you'd have the set.

I rather doubt this forum would benefit from a rash of Banatiz and All The Pots threads. Slow is infinitely preferable, Frasier. Better quick-witted posters on a slow forum...

Nice to see that you haven't changed your opinion of Matthew Wright, Bert.

I am, as ever, the model of consistency, Glimmer. I'm still trying to get him for the next celebrity boxing doings.

Spoiler:

Big fucker is John Leslie, must be 6-4 or 6-5

But I bet you knew that

I think he still hasn't forgiven him for the "there's an embargo on us naming John Leslie as the bloke who might have raped Ulrika Jonsson. Shit, well there was until five seconds ago."

Ah, I see.

I watch Wrights show some morning, for about 5 minutes.

Studio audience of about 20, and half of those are the fucking staff.

It's on after Milkshake with all the kid's programmes. There is more depth in listening to Stirling Moss and Peter Kay on Roary, though
