However, I am from the Thames Valley, and you might feel a little more comfortable at mine. Maroon, as you know, is from the Mean Streets: says "am ur" and "hee-haw", calls me "doll" and talks about giving it laldy. Have you SEEN his teeth? No, me neither. He just won't let me, no matter what I've held in front of him as a sweetener. Anyhoo, he is strapped for cash at the moment, and it makes life difficult. We have a case pending (some unpleasantness about prohibited food colourants) and if costs MAY be awarded against us. Any chance of a sizeable bung? Better to direct it my way, on second thoughts. I will eke it out, whereas Maroon will blow it.

I am sure I got the one I deserved and a fine one it is, honestly. You'd be surprised how attractive it is to lady shoppers in Asda. The women love it, so it must have something.

Therefore I wonder if you might stack the deck a little in my favour. Nothing too grand, we wouldn't want to frighten the horses, just a gradual fade up of the fiscal fountain.

Best nosebag this side of La Manche present company excepted, and then out again to the bright bars and exotic smoke of the Left Bank. Classique! <BR/>As to msg, well, I agree, the Koreans are fucking hellish for it and their food smells like garbage. It's the fermentation you see. I know Clarissa, we used to call it putrefaction tell me about it.<BR/>Um, some of the Tio Pepes are nice, as I'm sure Inky will confirm, (he being a fortified wine man like meself) and I'm with you regarding the barnacle debate ie - non kosher and that's that, no argument: and yet couldn’t my empire vatted be kept if only for soaking the trifle sponges? Oh please say yes.<BR/>Now, excuse me while I put Inky at his ease regarding colon use. (Fucking hell, the shit the schools turn out these days.)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Inky meboy! The semi colon was inserted for clarity because of the question mark. The question mark should fall after the word “curry”, yet the sentence is not complete, because I want to name you.
