Ah Billy Boy you've called my bluff again; what the hell is a Great Circle? With the Noble Lord and the Right Honourable onboard I meant Great Circus. Which it is.
I've spent many years, happy years, sailing under the Curacao fleg so lets give her a kick on air and head off to Happy Valley.

Leave Melbourne out ES. Friday's forecast max is 17° C. It's the 'middle of summer' and the temperature should be at least double that.
So much for global warming.

When I click on Forums then click on Unread Posts all I get is Sparkies Quiz. This has been happening for about 5 days. Is this a technical or social problem? I think I should be told.

Social, I suggest.
As I type this there are 6 'guests' viewing - They can't respond because they are not signed in.

Come on you lot, don't just sit there staring at your screen.
Come up the gangway and sign the articles and join in.

I'd rather not answer this direct question but if I'm truthful most of the material in the quiz is way above my knowledge base.
I hope you're happy at exposing my vulnerabilities, the Gentry on the website will now treat me as a mere equal.

Or in my case it is reminiscent of the famous sketch with Ronnie, Ronnie and John Cleese;
I know my place….

Makes a change from what Lord Varley exposes.

A mere equal? Have you enough sleeve for that braid?

(The winter makes it rather uncomfortable to reveal my vulnerables. Makes'em difficult to find, too).

Indeed, he was a hoot at the Ramsey Young Conservatives Charades Night. Lady Peel thought a tripod had something to do with a Menage a troi and the evening took a turn for the better.

Lady Peel was heard to remark "is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me"?

I am much flattered but the good ladies would be disappointed. (I offer my Finish credentials in support).

It is not the cuckoos or boatistas that overfly the Sceptered isle that one should watch for but the ill-intentioned ones who seek asylum in our already overcrowded nest. Worse still the cuckoo does it in order to breed. A practice that regardless of aerobatic prowess in the parent should be better controlled.

Obviously not. The only extra quality I have is a little subcutaneous adiposity about the middle. Otherwise I am all star material.
