Not really my good Gyphin. I just jumbled everything together. M'Lady talked about banter being in jest, I agreed, Saxon, yourself and M'Lady talked about blk hats, I just gave a response, etc. I was always taught when addressing a group the Ladies were always addressed first. So you see, my senility is not quite that bad yet, tho my recovery from my injury in regards to my research does slow me down somewhat. (sigh)

just some ideas mac

mac, Maybe Gryphin's Fyre would be interested in assiting you with your recovery. I don't know. You can check.

Ahh yes Good Sir Mac, I am associated with Sir Gryphin, but I am quite aware of my independence and therefore would tell you, as he will confirm, I am a very fair and honest being. I will not stand for lies, cheats, ignoble acts and basic bullocks-type attitudes. I stand very separate from Sir Gryphin and will not falsely attest to anything, no matter who would benefit, and the subsequent consequences that befall my truthful position are minor to bear, and I do so bear them with glee. <silly smile>

I, having raised two girls, 20 and 19, on my own, am not taken in by ANYTHING “small, furry, cute and fuzzy” especially being a “creature”. I know this involves a long-term commitment, usually involving a veterinarian and large amounts of litter of some type. Being one who is much inundated by various droppings of all nature (being I work for the Commonwealth) I certainly will not take such a creature on. (Men included)

Black hats.. ahh yes… reference to the guards I have seen outside the various encampments in London … no reference to my kind Canadian neighbours, Dear Saxon, for whom I have held close to my heart since they helped the American hostages held in Iran, between 1979-81. “Oh Canada” was, and always is oft on my lips by way of my heart. I thank you for your kindnesses in trusting my judgment on the veracity of the “moustache” situation. No animals are ever harmed while in my view.

Even though I was once employed in a hospital, I feel that injuries as deeply wounding such as yours, are best left to the closest expert (see Mrs. Mac.) Had you not an expert in your life, I would be most pleased to offer assistance. (Refer to my rules above.) Sir Gryphin is most liberally revealing my kindhearted talents … and accommodating demeanor.

Humbly submitted for your perusal, Gryphin’s Fyre

This thread is getting stranger by the day - it has gone from sounding like a bad court drama to something more akin to a really bad 1950's mediaval movie starring douglas fairbanks jnr and basil rathbone

First, greetings to Gryphin's Fyre, glad you can join us on this enlightening and interesting thread.

Secondly, you are about 25 years out of date on solictors. Barristers lost their exclusive rights to the higher courts in the early 80's - a solicitor is the same description as a US attorney ie a general description - some of us may specialise in what we term high street matters eg wills, divorces, house purchases, neighbour disputes, other of us are corporate/commercial lawyers to purely act for businesses and corporations. I am of the latter persuasion and specialise in finance and corporate law.

Thirdly, I like Canadians. I have every Rush CD going and even one from Honeymoon Suite. If that is not evidence of being Canadian friendly, then what is??? I even hope you guys win the gold in the ice hockey - Saxon, apologies if I have causesd offence - I am sure there is no truth whatsoever in rumours of moose kissing north of the border

Fourthly, Gryphin's Fyre - your remark about English being cousins of each other ie implying we are imbred etc is slightly triple O. The UK has historically one of the most generous immigration policies in the world and is truly multicultural. That is one of the reassons there are 65 million of us on an island half the size of California. We even have the Welsh for cripes sake

Fifthly, Mac, I agree and concur with Mephisto on your lawyer remark. We have your name, we have your address. You have been warned.

Sixthly, the general consensus is that Guffin does dress like a cowboy and that he does have a ridiculous furry thing on his top lip - whether this is an animal (as the court queried) or part of him is irrevelant - what is salient is how silly it is which seems to have been agreed by general consensus

Seventh, this is my court, anyone dont like the judge can take a long walk off a short pier

Eighthly, Guff, is that site up yet?

Ninth, I have sneaking suspicions that Gryphin's Fyre and Gryphin are one and the same. If this is the case, LOL - keep an eye out for another new member called Mrs Tigga - if not, nice to meet you Mrs Gryphin. you are a brave and non-selective lady

Thank you Guff, I really did enjoy my holiday - Madrid is an excellent city for sight seeing, eating and drinking and shopping. Wonderful place, wonderful people, real sense of enjoyment in life which for us north europeans, can sometimes seem so refreshing, especially in the horrible weather you get in February in Manchester

Good for you, keep on trying to parry and thrust, however ineffectual it may be

Pity the other site is not ready, I look forward to continuing our discussions on that site sans you know who

Fair comment re your furry fella but then women are notorious in their strange tastes in men, after all, Mrs GT married me, Mephisto [probably] has a girlfriend and even Mac has had his input into the genetic pool

I am the judge and I preside here because of, to quote the old adage, "peace through superior firepower" - you need a lawyer to be a judge, that means me or Mephisto - take your pick

I am always in good spirits, this week I am in Manzanilla, Montilla and a particularily fine rioja - this weekend I will probably be in Jack Daniels

Taste of what medecine?? your Posts for the Last 2 weeks have been on the back foot all the way - it will take more than Mac and Saxon to win this one for you

Gryphin’s Fyre,

It is good to hear that you are free of the taint of anti-Candianism. I noted that your associate, Gryphin, has pictures of Maple Leaves on his web site. Which brings me to an important point. Does he give you as many roses as the pictures he takes of roses? I do hope so.

Mac,

This may be a heretical question, but will the big match be played in Gold? As for race design and personality, you talked about a pre game dialogue. Other than the “Coalition to Fight the Dark and Evil Force that is Tigga” which appears to be forming, did you have anything in mind when you mention a dialogue?

Further, due to some (insert ungentlemanly language here) who work at State Department, by annual leave has been cancelled. No sitting on the beach near Cape Town, I am going to be hiring new staff and buying new computers here. When Tigga gets back, I am excited to get the game fired up. Do you think we can look at changing the start date?

As you know, we all look to you as our natural leader and organizer, so it should come as no surprise that you are getting asked these questions.

Oh dear, he has returned…

Tigga, glad you had a good trip. Never fear, I will do my best to take offense at whatever you say and come across as thin skinned and ill humored. Seriously, don’t take me seriously. And if you really did buy a Honeymoon Suite album, well, you deserve everything you get.
