Richardson's View

[Chava]

The door was not broken down.The picture is of the door full on.
It was jemmied open by McCathy using a pick.
You are the only person I know of mentioning a sneck.

Yep,let's get back on topic.

Isn't this what you've been going on about for ages? The button on the lock that holds it closed or open? That's the sneck.

How do you know the doors along Hanbury St weren't solid?
There is just a little trick to opening the door at #29 - raise the latch with a finger, and you're in.
That doesn't imply the door is necessarily loose or flimsy, and one still has to know this little trick with the latch, to open it.
However, for some reason that I just can't put my finger on, Madam Richardson often has the door wide open.

I wasn't talking about the front door however. But the door to the backyard. I'd still expect it to be a solid door. But it doesn't seem that solid.

I've always know it as a "snib". Damn English idiosyncrasies. This is why "newspeak" is a good idea. Double Plus Good.

Unlike my brothel in the basement theory, which is getting more solid all the while.
Have something up my sleeve too, and it ain't a rabbit...

Is it Diemschutz' missing donkey?

[NotBlamedForNothing]

Haven't we been through that? The donkey is in the backyard, not the driveway.

It is MWR who supposes the donkey and cart have left the scene.

Come off it, you made a right old song and dance about that pony!

Anyway, it's a joke, lighten up.

(I reckon our Aussie friends must be about by now)
Ahem.

I wonder, if for reference purposes, perhaps one of our members has a picture of a horse?

He is having the day off and has gone to the Geelong Cup meeting.

What's he racing under? Mr Whippys Myth or Louis Folly?

We know it's a joke - does everyone else?

And you know that 'song and dance' was actually a brilliant piece of analytical analysis.

Unfortunately he's been retired, due to ongoing problems with lameness

Way Hey!

You've got to have a sense of humour about these things.

[NotBlamedForNothing]

I thought that was kinda funny

[DJA]

Perhaps Entente is required.
