Erm...

Good point.

"Good point"? Is this part of the football thread and we've already got a point?
-
Cup match.

Cup match.
Damn! I haven't got any cups that match; I have two mugs that match - does that count?

Possibly. We could check with his/their dad...?!
-
Would he know? He may have been under the impression these many years that his son was ubiquitous.

Malc - how do you fancy being "World's Greatest Cartoonists" tomorrow?
-
My mum thinks I'm the world's greatest cartoonist every day. That aside, what are you on about?
-
Have you not been following Loony Tunes on the other forum?
-
Yes.
Or, on reflection, no.

....and what other forum?

ABOUT NOTHING
by Isaac Asimov
All of Earth waited for the small black hole to bring it to its end. It had been discovered by Professor Jerome Hieronymus at the Lunar telescope in 2125 and it was clearly going to make an approach close enough for total tidal destruction. All of Earth made it's wills and wept on each other's shoulders, saying, "Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye." Husbands said good-bye to their wives, brothers said good-bye to their sisters, parents said good-bye to their children, owners said good-bye to their pets, and lovers whispered good-bye to each other. But as the black hole approached, Hieronymus noted there was no gravitational effect. He studied it more closely and announced, with a chuckle, that it was not a black hole after all. "It's nothing," he said. "Just an ordinary asteroid someone had painted black." He was killed by an infuriated mob, but not for that. He was killed only after he publicly announced that he would write a great and moving play about the whole episode. He said, "I shall call it 'Much Adieu about Nothing'. All Humanity applauded his death.
:D

Bilthehut, purely in the interests of market research, how did you find out about us?

Loved the Beau Peep books (didn't get the Daily Star) for years. Might have been last year I found this site and read it for some time as a guest.
Tried to register but system did not let me. Kept doing this on and off (also assumed you did not want additional members). Then saw the 'how to register' but was still unable to do so. In desperation, I found the website designed Nigel Sutherland and emailed him, requesting help in registering. He passed it on to you - and the rest is history.
As we can't buy the books (Yes, I know they are on ebay, but I have yet to dip my toes in that puddle), reading and printing the weekly strip is good for my (and the wife's) health. Humour is the best medicine (apart from penicillin).

Oh thanks - now I'll get the blame. ..0

By the way, welcome Bilthehut! :)

I have a predilection, but I'm not sure what for yet. Certainly not pomegranates.
-
And before anyone jumps in, I don't want castigating.

It wouldn't be for the 4.40 at Kempton Park, by any chance? If so, we need to talk...
-
Do you have a red-hot tip?
-
Not since the penicillin kicked in, no.
-
Roger likes a flutter. Medication wouldn't be appreciated there I don't suppose.

Thank you Tom. I love the limerick, and have repeated it to others.
