@Francis,
"Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, they're putting in another 150 gambling tables at our local casino." They are terrified there is some lonely, stubborn individual in the suburbs who still has most of their money.

@spikepipsqueak,
Money can be a terrible nuisance. That's why people bid high prices for paintings and other things which don't physically exhaust you.

@spendius,
You have a point about money. But I wouldn't want to be entirely without it, either.

@spikepipsqueak,
Either way maybe you still love me or maybe you don’t. Have you ever heard these words?

@Dutchy,
Words, I have to say, that I've never heard. Although one or two people in my life have expressed to me that they don't think I like them anymore and then I've explained to them it's more a matter of me not understanding them and knowing how to be with them comfortably (and that's the truth, I think it's that feeling of confusion I don't like rather than the person in reality).

@aidan,
Reality, the philosophers say, is hidden behind a veil of appearences. But I remember that when Mrs Whiteside removed her veils I did think the reality was stark enough for my taste.

@spendius,
Taste resides in the buds of the beholder. I've tasted beer on various continents and am convinced nothing can touch our Aussie brew.

@Dutchy,
Brew me a nice hot chai and I'll thank you. Brew me a lager and serve it cold on a forty degree day, and I won't say "no", but make me a cocoa and I'll be all over you like a rash.

@spikepipsqueak,
Rash I can do without but the other bit sounds a bit of alright. One hot cocoa coming up shortly. Wink

@Dutchy,
Shortly is probably how Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman make love. (ducks). I wonder if you'd agree with me that Ruthless People was a hilarious film?

@spikepipsqueak,
(A) Film I haven't seen, Ruthless People, but one of my all-time favorite depictions of a married couple are Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito portraying the mother and father in 'Matilda' (a film adaptation of a Roald Dahl book for children).
I used to watch it over and over and just laugh and laugh ; I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it.

@aidan,
It sounds like a good movie seeing that both of you eminent ladies mention same. Will go to the video shop this morning and see wether it is on the shelf.

@Dutchy,
Shelf space is at a premium in supermarkets. The picture the shelves present to the observant gaze is an artistic impression of the brain patterns of the type of customer for which the supermarket is niche marketed to cater for.

@spendius,
"For health and strength and daily food we give thee thanks...." etc. Regardless of the state of religious belief, I reckon it's a nice idea to be aware of our blessings.

@spikepipsqueak,
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel. The more you know the less you feel.

"Feel free", said the Duchess, "you know how broadminded I am."

@spendius,
Am thinking about that line spendi. Do you think that statement connotes sexual undertones or merely an indication to the Coalman he was free to go after their encounter?

Encounter ambiguity Dutch. It is a cheap artistic conceit to keep the Aussies guessing.

@spendius,
Guessing you're pretty much on the boil, Spendi, if you're reduced to reading Barbara Cartland. Your scheme not working out?

@spikepipsqueak,
Out to the movies I went last night. Must say the call at the coffee lounge afterwards was much more enjoyable.
