Smile Grump on....

Hello

I'm back.

Some members and a mod were asking earlier today what on earth I stand for in my various posts.

Can I respectfully point you all to tonight's Grumpy Old Men by way of a partial explanation and some mitigation. For a fuller picture of where I'm coming from, please refer to the rest of the series.

Thankyou and good night.

I defer to your greatness mate. But apparently your head AND MINE are to be displayed side by side above a certain person's fireplace. So you will have to get used to my company.

It's finished. The big one is tomorrow night. You have to pace yourself when you're a grump you know. So your hero was wrong.

Anyway why are you still lurking around? What happened to *your* life?

So have you been out with you vast circle of friends tonight or not?*

Jeez, no. I confess it was not a vast circle!!! It was with people from work as you seem to need to know. Now I expect you understand why I made my excuses and left early.

And yes, I left my machine on. and yes, it probably had Scoobynet open in IE.

Is that enough detail or do you require more? (please don't say yes)

Well I'll confess, it's not a "do 3 pills and half a bottle of JD" big night. Being grumpy I don't do that. Probs a nice meal and some fine wine, topped off with a jolly reffer or two and beers. Enjoy...
