Bearsy

Recommended Posts

To SiP :- Nah, course not. More likely it was his Mum coming round to do his washing.Prob such an untidy git there was weeks worth to do !

 

To Tokes, can I call you Tokes ? Is that similar to Tugs ? Or is that something people do to themselves, I wonder. Anyway, was a confirmed lurker until yesterday at which point Bearsy intrigued me (but not in THAT way) and I ran up against my 3 posts in 24hr b*llox limit, so had to part with my hard earned just to find out what happened ! (which I still haven't, hey-ho). Think I might even change the name to Zeppy in honour of you, ZepSaint was always a bit too clumsy for my liking.

 

As for being Dune, I gather from lurking thats thats the equivalent of being sworn at, so thanks very much ! :lol:

Welcome to The Muppet Show ZepSaint.

 

Ignore the older boys that post on here, they can be a bit rough on new boys especially if the new boy is a little, well, eccentric.

 

The Muppet Show is very much like a public boarding school - equal measures of intelligence, boredom and inbreeding. But you must learn that there is a food chain here. Tokyo-Saint and Bearsy are the senior boys, Tokyo-Saint is Bearsy's 'head boy' and I expect Tokyo-Saint will try to make you his fag - he does it to all the new boys. But if he tells you that he'd like to help you to 'fit in' - I'd suggest you decline his offer.

 

Stay on the right side of pap - he's teaches two subjects - Politics and Physics (specialising in warp drives and other interstellar transport mechanisms) and scotty - he's the Philosophy master and his lectures can usually be found in The Crap Joke Refectory.

 

Anyway, make yourself at home.

 

I would second ZepSaint's welcome to the Muppet Show, although I should point out that most of my politics lessons take place over at The Lounge New Academy for Troubled Tories. I waffle on incessantly, but I suspect it's in one ear and out the other with most of them. I do like trousers though. If there were ever an "adopt a right winger" program in SaintsWeb, he'd certainly be my choice.

I leave the forum for a couple of hours and when I come back I am being mugged off by someone with the grand total of 0 posts per day. That is the equivalent of being a registered user, in fact why are you are full member if up until yesterday you only had one post to your name zeppy? This is what we will be investigating first if we take the case. Is this sudden flurry of posts something you have been planning since 2007 or worse are you one of dune's many cover logins? Are you here to promote Gibraltar and spread racial hatred? Well are you?

 

In other news, bletchy is back! Where have you been bltcher? Get really into Dostoevsky? Did you keep thinking, one more chapter, just one more, then I will go check on Bear and Tokyo? Sounds selfish bletch but we forgive you. Welcome back anyway.

 

Not Dostoevsky Tokyo-Saint, it was James Joyce's Ulysses. I'm 99% through it and it's taken me 6 months. A full appraisal will be in the What are you Reading? thread in 'the other place' soon.

 

In fact, in an odd Gibraltarian twist, the main protagonist in Ulysses is Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly Bloom was born in Gibraltar.

 

And I'm just reading about her reminiscing about pulling off a Gibraltar naval Captain into her handkerchief - which she kept under her pillow and would periodically take it out to smell it.

 

All of this in a 60 page final chapter featuring only 8 sentences and zero punctuation. It's like a dannysfc post on steroids.

 

Enough of the book talk (I'm getting slightly aroused if I'm honest), but you started it.

 

We need to know.

 

Does Zep exist?

Ah, in that case, would Tokyo-Saint San be applicable Sir ?:uhoh:

 

Tokyos will be fine. Only bletch calls me by my full name but he is aloud as he comes from a different world. I always read his post in the style of the butler from Downton Abbey. It hurts my brain a little if I am honest, especially as bletches posts go on for ages and often need to be reread, sometimes with a dictionary in hand, a redbull by my side and match sticks under my eyes.

 

I can't be going through all of that for two of you ya know!

Anyway, whole point of me coming out of lurker mode was to find out how the hell Bearsy did a number on his 'lodger'

 

Personally I think got a final large scale boning (boneing ? boaning ? bowning ?) which proved to much for the frail guest and she's buried underneath the lifesize statue of Yogi thats in his garden

 

I've even had to flippin' subscribe with my hard earned fiver just to find out ! TELL ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x

 

You reading this b!tches! The dumb mods is trying for 5 years to get their greasy mittens on Zeppos hard earned fivers but no he is steadfastly lurking them BOOM! Bearsy gets on the case and within 24 hours we is having full access to empty his bank accounts!

 

I should be getting commission for this! I should at least be getting free poppadoms at the next Curry Night! Stevegrants, just mikes, st_chalets..................... the other ones................. you boys took one hell of a beatings!

Any more of those cuss words scotty and you and I might never exchange Christmas cards again. And if I reply in full, you're going to get me into more 'off-topic for The Muppet Show' trouble with Mulder and Skully. You'll have to wait for my review in The Arts Forum.

 

Anyway...

 

How? Sheer bloody-mindedness and the fact that I have a literary ego so large you could photograph it.

Also, technically it was your lodger that was the cause of me giving up my fiver.

 

Dare I suggest you calling her back round so you can pass it over ?

Christmas cards, I take it you've abandoned your pointless atheist/agnostic stance and signed up to my havent-got-a-clueist movement then ;)

 

And the only decent Irish writer is J P Donleavy.

The experience of reading Ulysses was so spiritual that I have recanted my agnostic atheism and have become a 1 day adventist - Praise The Lord! I now worship at the church of Joyce every 16th June.

 

And in future I'll be sure to check with you before selecting a book. You're too good to me scotty.

 

I've not read any J P Donleavy, an omission I will put right on your recommendation, but a quick Google tells me that he was born in New York.

 

So Ireland has no decent writers. They'll be disappointed about that.

So, is The Muppet Show the sort of semi intellectual, semi pornographic, part religious, somewhat political and slightly intelligent proving ground and initiation ceremony that former lurkers have to go through before being let loose on other more sensible areas of the forum ? It definately seems to be !

 

If so, am I now allowed to officially gawp at the latest set of norks on a Nun in the match threads without having to do it whilst feeling even dirtier (for not having paid) than I should do anyway ? :D

Nah but seriously though this actually sort of happened to me back in the late 70s.I had real trouble getting rid of my

live-in.Had to go for the really risky exit tactic,suggest getting married, let her arrange everything and then pull out a couple of weeks before....worked a treat,gone in a flash,looked a bit sheepish in front of my family and friends though...but I got over it with the help of a couple of Easy Dorises. Hope she's not reading this though..probably not, lives in Bournemouth and doesn't like football.

 

Are you Terry McCann from Minder?

Spike Milligan had an Irish passport, his part in my downfall was legendary.
