Queen's Birthday Honours

[Bryn]

Shelves are for old-fashioned anarchists and socialists, Mr GG!

Some of us entered the digital age yonks ago ...

Much prefer to use my aged digits to turn the pages of a book, though probably not one by the 'philosopher' in question. I have my doubts as to whether Brenda has read any of his books either, whether in print on paper, or LCD format.

[P. G. Tipps]

Why is that so clear? And why is it so difficult for you to explain a sentence of ten words if you understand it so well?

Oh, I understand it very well and I've already explained why ...

If you are dissatisfied with my explanation why don't you contact Sir Roger, your fellow-composer?

Best deal with the engineer rather than the oil-rag, eh?

[Richard Barrett]

Oh, I understand it very well and I've already explained why ...

Where?

[ahinton]

That would be (e).


In most Guest Houses, by cheque - although I'm sure some landlords/ladies are equally happy to take cash.


You mean I've actually created a pun that's flummoxed you?!

Oh, dear, it seems that you might have done exactly that!

[ahinton]

So the closest we've got so far to an explanation of what this seeming platitudinous gibberish means is "it's simply a statement of profound wisdom".

Not for me, at least...

Aaah you haven't read any
Thought so

Oh do try and come out of the Good Old Days of the 1950's, Mr GG!

Haven't you noticed the world has moved on a bit from crusty old moth-ridden books and wooden shelves ... ?

[P. G. Tipps]

Where?

South Patagonia ...

Haven't you noticed the world has moved on a bit from crusty old moth-ridden books and wooden shelves ... ?

So you haven't read any then ?

[P. G. Tipps]

So you haven't read any then ?

If you mean Sir Roger's books, I must now assume you have all of those on your very own wooden shelves, Mr GG ..?

Is that really the case ... ?

If so, I am truly and utterly appalled, Mr GG!

[ahinton]

South Patagonia ...

You would really have made such a good politician, Tippsy, having long since mastered the gentle art of never answering a question no matter how often it's asked of you!

[MrGongGong]

If you mean Sir Roger's books, I must now assume you have all of those on your very own wooden shelves, Mr GG ..?

Of course I do
I was wondering which of them you found the most interesting and profound?

[Richard Barrett]

This is all painfully unedifying.

[ahinton]

This is all painfully unedifying.

Ain't it just!
