Can we have a General issues/gossip topic?

[Administrator]

For your reading here is Huguenot's original post refering to the horse and Syphilite which was originally removed from a thread about East Dulwich Swimming pool. I believe it is now more apt in this thread. Weirdos.

Well I imagine he's supporting your view rather than tendering disrespect. ;-)

I'd find it a bit concerning however, Domitianus was historically a pretender to the Roman throne rather than the real thing. He even went so far as to having coins printed in his own likeness to reinforce the claim. Cheeky monkey.

To have his support is a bit like having a renowned bullsh*tter as your best mate. It rubs off..

I'm considering whether he's related to Incitatus whose major claim to fame, apart from being ridden by a Syphilite, was being an equine senator. It seems unlikely, given the penetration of latin scholars generally into society, that we have two on this forum. Admin, can you alleviate us of this pedantic burden?

Happy with edt, inside 72, or even inside dave. Cool, Thursday will fly by and then it'll be the weekend :)

This is c**p isn't it - I should just send an e-mail. Lucky I haven't spent hours getting this far....

birthday drinks

[Huguenot]

Aaargh! That's like bringing my own dog's poop home and putting it on my doorstep!

Is there no place to hide???

:))

[CrystalClear]

oooh. We could always try Green and Blue's new bar....

[mockney piers]

only if the beer is on, no wine for me, wine leads to vodka, vodka leads to fear, fear leads to hate, hate leaves to errr a hangover

[CrystalClear]

hangover leads to beer, beer leads to wine - ever decreasing circles!

[Incitatus]

Alright already, I?m a horse, I?m Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus Caligula?s horse, I throw lavish banquets in my Ivory lined stables and enjoy a rich diet of gold laced oats and pearls dissolved in wine. I?m a high priest with my own Temple-, which is nice-, and I almost made Senator. My Guv?nor was a bit of a munter and a nutter, if you mentioned hairy Goats (he, Caligula looked like one) in his presence then you were ?brown bread?. Caligula got his though; in true Roman style he was stabbed loads of times especially in the groin by lots of people.

This is a great thread I must admit, and I am afraid to wonder off it, in case I get my nuckles wrapped.

[CrystalClear]

We need a leader. We need incitatus.

DM - it is a great thread.

[Huguenot]

Typing must be a challenge for a horse. Do you use speech recognition?

[Incitatus]

Nay.

[spymum]

Yes, DM, this thread is great!

[dulwichmum]

Dear Spymum,

Just remember to stay off topic!

[Incitatus]

Britney Spears is an anagram of Presbyterian, Huguenot you?ve obviously got Calvinist roots, any thought? Hope this is off topic enough for all you Mums out there.

Dear Incitatus,

I must tell my mother that, it is bound to bring a smile to her face. She doesn't like Ian Paisley and Presbyterians or 'Protestants' like my husband. She is really Christian!

Does anyone think the writers of the Archers are setting up a plot line that will come to a head in 20 years when Brian dies and Rory is left with the lion's share of his inheritance and owes the farm? Which put's annoying Adam's nose out of joint, and Alice is left surprised/resentful and upset that she had a brother she never knew about?

[mockney piers]

Blimey, what's Benson doing through all of this?

[OldTimer]

Dear Incitatus,

I believe that you are an imposter.....a charlatan....a 60's TV star and are in fact none other than MR.ED the talking horse

Incitatus the silver surfer aka MR.ED....is this you ??? http://users.aol.com/mwn3/Surf2.gif

[Huguenot]

I don't think Britney Spears is an anagram of Presbyterian. I have word blindness this morning, but there's still too many Ss

[CrystalClear]

how about presbyterians?

[dulwichmum]

Dear Mr CrystalClear,

I love your pictures, but I almost choked on a tuna and sweetcorn roll just then. They should have some kind of health warning attached to them.

[Huguenot]

Phruph?

What pictures?

[dulwichmum]

Bloomin Heck! Another gifted gentleman on the forum. I was laughing so much, I must admit I didn't even read who it was from. I apologise Mr CrystalClear, and Mr OldTimer.

I see Charlotte Church's up the duff
