I have more issues with McCarthy's disjointed writing style than I do with his subject matter.

Oh come one Fluffy take a walk on the wild side... you know ya wanna, just once... nah keep it cos when ya travel to Aus you will have ya road map to tassie all covered.

Depends what you want to read Doreen.. I have it all covered.... (Not prepared to public confess to the crap I am reading at them moment besides the 1 in red below) Biography: A Fortunate Life - AB Facey ... its an oldy but should still be able to get it as I know its on the VCE (Victorian year 12) reading list. The Moons A Balloon - David Nivin ... I know you can still get this The Happiest Refugee - Ahn Do Faction (those books that are essentially fiction but so closely based on real events and people they might as well be fact): The Narrow Road to the Deep North - Richard Flannagan Anything by Peter FiztSimons, Gallipoli, Kokoda, etc... military history but written as a fictious novel, factually very accurate but also engaging story lines. (yes for those old enough to remember he did play rugby for Australia) History: How the Irish Saved Civilization - Thomas Cahill Asbestos House: The Secret History of James Hardie Industries - Gideon Haigh The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Rebecca Skloot Dystopian Teen Fiction: The Obernewtyn Chronicles - Isobel Carmody... this is a whole series Fiction: Small Great Things -Jodi Picoult The ODD Thomas Series - Dean Koontz... not too scary but funny, especial with Elvis' silent ghost. To Hill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee... you can never read this enough Anything Dck Francis The Finalists - Russel Braddon Non-Fiction: Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion - Elizabeth L. Cline Owning It - Your BS Free guide to living with anxiety - Caroline Foran

@Phoebe2 brilliant work on being 4 years quit. What a great inspiration.

Fluffy was gunna shave the winter fluff off her legs cos there was 30 seconds of sunshine in Scotland... she even bought a razor... then rain. Jillar gave Fluffy the middle name FLuffy, we asked if it would still be her middle name once she wasn't fluffy (cos she had shaved) and the I suggested jillar would have to find the replacement summer name to Fluffy but only if fluffy will be replaced.... Is that as clear as mud whispers .... .omg my at key is doing ".... how will I do shout outs.... arrrrggggghhhhhhhh

wouldn't what (asuming if) Fluffy's middle name changed the giver of the name should also design the summer wardrobe... maybe silky?

Well @MrTitwank should be a very happy chappy as his babe should be back today. I think a lot of people will be happy to have our Master of Ceremonies back on board, how dare he take a holiday to defrost. Anywhoo, time for me shout out to Roz... we're cheering for ya girl, you get well and back to us real soon because you always find way better nopes than I do... So for today, tomorrow and forever.... Its a Big Fat NOPE Topic of the day: will wait for northy morning...

2 is the lie/

if @Wee fluffy me shaves her legs will she still be fluffy?

making drama costumes for the kid... cos she needs them tomorrow.. and getting set to listen to my UK saints.

Glad you are taking steps to reclaim your life. We will do what we can to help support you. Take this one day at a time and remember to NOPE... not one puff ever... even if you just pledge it for 24 hours at a time it soon adds up to week and a month and before you know it you are a none-smoker. Keep your positive attitude and you can keep your quit.

-6 Well i'm having porridge for tea.. seeing as I already had me meat and veggies...

coffee... coffee, coffee, coffee, .... then some vegemite toast... OH how I wish... soon Porridge - salt or sugar

-4 I was having chicken with me rice tonight but dad took me out for lunch so I had me meat allocation at lunch and had a lovely mooing bit of steak.

Big feet... because you know what they say about big feet. Books: romance or thriller

@Doreensfree oh your thank you is way better than a sparkly gold star.

@Wee fluffy me pretty sure any special thank yous @reciprocity has will be reserved for @MrTitwank for keeping my crazy on a tight leash... I'll be happy with a nice sparkly gold star and maybe a free drink card for the next Lido Deck celebration.

Vamp - yep another double meaning word.... To vamp... can mean either to spruce, dress, fancy something up but with a sort of slutty overtone... She was really vamping up her performance.. or To Vamp means to pull and all nighter... ie You want to pull a vamp with me (this is more modern)... then you can be a Vamp ... a slightly slutty femme fatale.

As you should all know, and with thanks to @Cbdave and his Australian Navy connections we are expecting our Master of Ceremonies @reciprocity back on board tomorrow. Before his return I'd just like to check with some of you Old Phartes that things are tip top in preparation for his return. Thanks to @Sslip and the Wees ( @Wee fluffy me & @WeegieWoman ) for hooking me up on the bucket department after my bucket incident earlier this week. Although I do think you went overboard just a bit.... Having a bucket meant I was finally able to get the blood off the carpet in Reci's office (don't ask but I can promise I wasn't trying to unlock the locked desk draw with his letter opener), and clean up the Lido Deck after the mess it was left in after last weeks celebrations for @ClaireP1973 ascension to the status of Old Pharte... so now I need to shout out to my very special Port Chop for giving up his time to sit there and make sure I cleaned it all to Reci's exacting standards and teaching me that sometimes I do like to take orders. Would you look at how sparkly the Lidi Deck is... PLEASE @Boo, @Whispers and @BKP make sure it stays that way until Reci is home. and I'm pretty sure I nailed the repairs to his desk chair and he wont be noticed, what do you think???.. Pork Chop artwork completes the repair in my opinion. OH who else is there to thank.... hmmm.... how could I forget my girl @jillar for filling the breach when someone wasn't on the list. You rock bunny buttski, what a ledg And lastly for me new girl @Sazerac thank you so much for your intervention with the rascally tits and making sure we got reci's tit message to let us know he was in danger... even if you did try to usurp the status quo of the congrats boards and brought a bit of anarchy to our lives. You my darling kept me on my toes but without you reci would probably still be stuck on that island or with those unscrupulous tanker people who originally picked him up. Oh and thanks to @Nancy , @Doreensfree , @PeaceTrain and everyone else for the encouragement and support, I really do like to be told I'm a good girl. Lastly thanks to everyone on the train for putty up with my meager efforts to fill Reci's impressive, large and somewhat clown like shoes.

@TravellingSunny the QSMB just died one day and the lovely people on the quit train welcomed its refugees with open arms. Everyone here, old and new, give amazing support, advice and help. I think @beazel or @Nancy might know how to access some of the old posts, I heard word of a way back machine but I was only a new member at the time.

Sorry @Wee fluffy me and also that other Wee.... was autopiloting to get in before someone else... Toey - (Toe - ee)... To be nervous, anxious or horny.... so The Black Caviar (a race horse) was never toey in the starting blocks.... She was feelin a bit toey before her bloke came over.... or... I'm a bit toey about me performance review from @reciprocity

Ohh I can pop in the Q weegie didn't have... Queen of the South - a woman who likes to gossip / has a big mouth. ..... ie. "Be careful what ya say to Mary she's the frickin Queen of the South" we up to S now...

The Police Sport: Football or Cricket/Baseball (See I'm making it international any football code, or a sport with teams having a batting side and a fielding side.
