and we just ain't compatible with the French who have far greater ideals and aspirations to attend to (like putting an ounce of pigeon **** in the middle of a plate and charging upwards of 70 quid for it).

Reminds me that last time I had pigeon in Paris it was served with cacao sauce, while the dessert menu featured “orange carpaccio seasoned with red pepper“. 40 quid for a 3 dish menu. And the restaurant features trees and several tables with swings instead of chairs.

So that non British Ripperologists attend conferences held in Whitechapel?

Oh, it's not personal, Maria. I like you, and Germans in general.

But, please, let's have some compassion. It used to be branston pickle and somehow, by some freak of nature, we have been infiltrated by European ideas such as mayonnaise and the like.

See, these are the matters that occupy our collective mind, and we just ain't compatible with the French who have far greater ideals and aspirations to attend to (like putting an ounce of pigeon **** in the middle of a plate and charging upwards of 70 quid for it).

It's not personal. Once took my mum round Sandringham in Norfolk; she likes all that royal stuff. Anyway, was talking to the guide and in all seriousness she suggested that the motorways leading into Norfolk should be destroyed in order to preserve her/their conservative ideals. Being a liberal (although not left wing) Northerner, I was fascinated yet, ultimately, not surprised.

Anyway, you should know all about this with Heidegger and his Liberalism kills individuality approach to matters. So, we do have commonality of sorts.

England and France are like an old couple who have been married for years and are just sick of the sight of one another (and only really got together because they couldn't avoid one another). Let's do the decent thing and call it a day.

"it was on the wall of my old football change rooms"

Did the manager scrub it off with a spong and if so I guess your scribbled the wording down in your notebook first.

[Monty]

Its not forever Don,

Though the research is. No, its just I've a few things in the pipeline and haven't got the time at the moment.

Take more than the imbecilic to drive me away.

Monty

It seems the imbecilic need to read more.

- Don't know who said it, but it was on the wall of my old football change rooms, sounded good.

Simon went fishing and got a catch.

Cheers,

Whose idea was it to build the channel tunnel?

Just as a sidelight on the above statement, Maria has only failed to post on these boards on three days this month. Over the same duration, she has posted 110 times.

Mark

There's no inconsistency: Maria used to post 750 times a months, so these days she's just popping in on her way somewhere else.

We've gotta get out of the EU, by the way. Is this the right thread for that sort of talk? Seriously, time to call it a day. Nothing to do with Maria's fleet of foot approach to her posting volume, though. Whose idea was it to build the channel tunnel?

[Simon Wood]

Hi Monty,

Thank you.

Silence is golden.

Regards,

Simon

[Monty]

Enjoy the silence Simon,

Whilst you can.

[Simon Wood]

Hi All,

Every cloud has a silver lining.

From now on Ripperworld won't be quite so flat as hitherto believed.

Regards,

Simon

One more day and we would have solved the case.

Hi Tom,

Quite possibly.

Besides, you're close to being Assistant Commissioner. THAT'S the time to take a holiday.

That was hilarious.

Hi Monty

What do you mean, you're out? Geoff Boycott was never out.

Besides, you're close to being Assistant Commissioner. THAT'S the time to take a holiday.
