Too Impersonal

[Mince]

I feel sometimes that we don't know each other as well as we should. So in the spirit of sharing, I'll start with something about myself.

Today, I am wearing grey socks.

[Elizabeth]

My first visit here since some time in 2011. Glad to see you have all grown up in the intervening years. I'm not wearing any socks...

[Mince]

It's nice to have you back, Elizabeth. Did anything, beyond our ever-vanishing maturity and kittenish predilection for revealing the colour of our socks, prompt you to visit?

[Elizabeth]

Thanks for the welcome Mince. No idea what prompted my visit, beyond a faint longing for the days before Facebook devoured everything... I get enough of kittenish predilections over there thank you very much...Anyway, anything interesting happen while I've been away?

Roger joined a cult that brainwashed him into thinking he was in Portugal on holiday listening to Neil Diamond, but beyond that, not much really. Anything your end?

[Redundant]

Welcome back Elizabeth, if you are still here and have not wandered off to lesser, albeit more populated places, in which case "See you in 2021!".   Mince, is there a cult that does the same thing but with Crete?

[Roger Kettle]

This is nothing to do with anything but I hate the stupid amalgamation of words that is "Brexit". I'm not making a political statement here, you understand, just pointing out how f****** annoying I find that stupid amalgamation.

He crept in, crapped, then crept back out again.

I hate all Americans when any of them says, "I could care less" when they mean "I couldn't care less".

Maybe they mean they could care less thus indicating a level of involvement not occurring in  not caring less...

Does anyone else always count the asterisks when someone tries to disguise a sweary word? Just wondered...

ELIZABETH'S RELAXING ASTERISK-SWEARY-WORD PUZZLE BOOK

    all 100% Roger Kettle quotes from Cameldung.

• Andrew, on the other hand, said, rather too loudly “You’re joking---that **** isn’t even ******* funny”.
• ****!!!
• Beautifully drawn and some great gags. A masterclass in strip cartooning. B******s!
• In the end, I thought **** it, bung something in.
• Etch-a-Sketch was an annoying, frustrating, only-straight-lines pile of cr*p.
• P*** off.
• The wall represents life itself and....oh, p*** off
• The cannon represents...oh, p*** off.
• This movie scares the s*** out of me but I’ve decided to watch it again.
• Talented b*******!
• They’re ******* brilliant!
• “It’s just I’m f****** freezin’!”
• Lil, I can just imagine you kneeling over this poor victim, shouting “What was the name of that f****** elephant again?”
• She didn’t even use p*ss.
• “Out of the f****** way! I’ve been working all f****** day! I’ve got to get to my f****** dressing room!”
• Thank you, Nigel “you’re a sarcastic *******” Sutherland!
• “Well, they might be protected but they’re not ******* bulletproof.”
• B******! I burst out laughing.
• Let’s see if we can get Roger to say “What a bunch of rotten b******s!”
• I have no *!*!*!* idea.
• And that includes those *!*!*!*! meerkats.
• “Get up, you ****** *****!”
• “Off you ****!”
• He sounds like an absolute a*******.
• “That’s ******* brilliant!”
• I want the *%!*!*! thing to be bouncing up and down, doing star jumps.
• Granted, it’s a big window but, *!*! me, 4,000 quid for some glass and some pre-built PVC that takes half a day to install?
• I find most of the current batch irritating, to be honest---none more so than that *!*!*!* meerkat who is offering some kind of insurance.
• If my mother-in-law is round for dinner, I have every right to say “pass the f****** salt”.

    Brilliant!

I have to say though, I've been in Roger's company many times, and not once can I recall an asterisk pass his lips.

Hey Elizabeth. Good to have you back! How the hell are you? (you can tell I'm getting lazy with advancing years because I can't be bothered with coy asterisks)

[Mince]

Maybe they mean they could care less thus indicating a level of involvement not occurring in  not caring less...

That's possible. More likely, though, they are just annoying.

[Elizabeth]

Oh, it is good to be back! Lil - I'm great thanks! I have a new job! See photo.
