On the Works of Charles Dickens

[malcolminthemiddle]

Why?

Because you seem to think it preferable to publish these things on an internet forum. Heaven only knows why.

Also, some of your more hurtful comments on here have not gone unnoticed nor have your claims that some of your racier posts were made by someone else after you've been at the Sherry.

Ah no. I was going to do a thing where all the evil characters of history were actually the same enity but come to think of it they did that in Star Trek. Another idea please.

Malc,

Gricer has taken for Internet Forum (searchable on google) into his confidence and told us a lot about you.

For example, your hair dryer, you know, it disturbs Gricer's sleep, can't you be a gentlemen and buy a quieter one ?

Milan.

As I was climbing into my freshly pressed M&S Y-Fronts this morning, the crotch thereof freshly dusted with Hi Karate talc,

Have you considered string underpants? Better ventilation than those dodgy polyester St Michael affairs, but with all the support.

I paused to reflect upon the works of Charles Dickens, towit, the predictability of his storylines.

Did you know he was the prime pulp fiction author of his day? Despised by the literati, he was.

As I mentioned in a post yesterday, I need to lick a few more boxes to get my application for membership of the Rotarians up and running
again.

FTFY

all I need to do is read the first few pages of each novel until we encounter said obscure character and declare that "he done it". Then a quick flick through the rest of the pages just to acquaint myself with the main characters and I'm done.

May I acquaint you with Reader's Digest Condensed Books. An oik can become a well-read gentleman in no time at all, courtesy of these easily-consumed collections.

In fact, I think I could possibly clear the whole Dickens oeuvre in less time than it takes me to read a copy of Railway World!

That's only because of the time you spend staring lustfully at the pictures!

Now, if only the same were true for other authors; in no time at all, Lt Col. Ashton Wickett would think I had a First in English Literature and would rubber stamp my application forthwith.

Pssst. Secret: go for international membership first. <wink>

There is nothing wrong with my hair dryer.

Maybe rather than just believing the first thing you're told you should be asking why he is trying to sleep when others are up and starting their day.

Some people are not morning people, I can tell you that for certain.

[milanbenes]

you have a point Malc.


Malc, Gricer has kindly and openly shared with the forum intimate details of the relationship and where he feels, improvements could be made on your part to improve the quality of the relationship, the hair dryer being one example.

You are indeed correct, there are two sides to every story.

Where Malc, do you see room for improvement in Gricer's intersocial behaviour for the benefit of the two of you ?

Milan.

I see that Great Expectations is the BBC's festive highlight this year.

I'm sure you red blooded CUKers will be of the opinion that Gillian Anderson's "talents" could have been put to better use than playing the decrepit Miss Havisham.

Then again it has been a few years since the X-Files.

[BA to the Stars]

Not a patch on "Arena" if I may be so bold.

And we all know how that finished

[chef]

Is it me or does this thread seem to be made up of one loony CUKer (malc) having a full on conversation with himself (gricer)??

[James Tiberius Kirk]

Shut it you.

Go & peck your cuttlefish bone or something.

Enough with the sockies already
