I think we have all been grieving your absence quietly, I have not felt such a universal sense of loss since Poldark finished.

Re: Return of the Prodigal Port-drinker
Excellent. Please note that taking a large pork pie and ramming it into someone's face custard-pie-style while yelling "FACE-HUGGER!" does not count.djewesbury wrote:I can see what I can do.....PhilW wrote:Surely the pork pie would be the face-hugger, trying to force its way down your throat?jdaw1 wrote:Does the Pork Pie see me as Jaws or as Alien?

A little sharing from the Prodigal Port-drinker would not be inappropriate. You deserted us, and are now trying to seize thread ten thousand and six as all yours. No: share!djewesbury wrote:Get your own thread.

Thread nine thousand four hundred and eighty-nine is all yours. Nobody else has touched it. Lie in it and sleep well. And begrudge not others a taste of ten thousand and six.

Welcome back Daniel-and to the jesting (nay, baiting) that takes place long after I have gone to bed!
Incidentally-don't recall any love interest in The Treasure of Sierra Madre, but then it's a long while since I've seen this great film.
