I thought you might not like that idea. :)

Not even worth considering.

Corset it is then...

Surgery.

Scalpels

Remember these ladies are to be charming. Some claim that ladies with a fuller figure are indeed more charming

In that case I must be overwhelmingly charming.

So that's what ten blade is, eh?

Hawkeye in MASH was always shouting for one.

That no. 12 looks pretty nasty!

Like a cat's claw.

Of interest to Tallis

Bottles from the cradle of wine: Armenia and Georgia - the guardian

I'm not sure whether Tallis is keen on wines described as 'chewy' to be honest. He muttered something about it being embarrassing to get the bits caught in your teeth
But a fascinating article none the less :-)

I probably shouldn't have posted the 'A' word, though.

delicate?

That country isn't well regarded by the govt here.

No, I should imagine not.
Few peoples seem to have so many historic enemies who still manage to hate them. It speaks highly of their misspent youth ;-)

Tallis felt he might as well get a word in edgeways


Irrational hate from a previous age
Lurks in the bowels like gratuitous rage
Seethes and coalesces
As sanctified bile
As they bellow their grievances
Nursed for a while

Bitter and caustic
It twists and decays
The dreams of the children
On the brightest of days

Brings death and destruction
Wanton and fey
A hallowed construction
Of worshiped decay

Well said.

He has a way with words does old Tallis

Give him some wine.

but not the chewy stuff!

No. Wine should not be chewy. If it is then something has gone badly wrong.

Wine GUMS should be chewy.

Apparently the stuff Patti mentioned is 'chewy'
Obviously I'm not blaming her personally, but still....
I think Tallis would be forced to comment if one of his patrons started serving 'chewy' wine.
It's as bad as being able to see the tramlines!

Wine might be chewy if the butler has inexpertly removed the cork. In which case he should be dismissed, without a reference, immediately.

Sadly now one cannot get the staff.
In the days of my youth a respectable family would have a Sommelier, a butler, two minstrel maids and a travelling flagellant

Something tells me you may have a visit from Will Once.

as the travelling flagellant?

He seems rather fascinated by the process.

I'm not entirely sure what a flagellant is. Is it someone who moves around by waving tentacles around? Or am I thinking of flagella?

Google it, GL.

No. I don't trust you.

It's a type of bean, I'm pretty sure

Yeah GL. It's a bean.

Google it.

Nope.

Needless to say it's not the sort of entertainment that your well adjusted poet gets involved in.


A mess of blood
As sins you swat
But entertainment?
No, it's not

Asked the question for you.

Thanks (back now, but still running round trying to catch up)

No worries.

I'll just sit here patiently, hoping for a cookie.

Bacon cookies! Yay!

They look a lot like Percy Pigs.

Latex.

Patti (baconater) wrote: "Latex."

Not very tasty...

good grief, turn my back and what does she try serving people, latex cookies

Are these better?

far better

almost in good taste

I like how they are served on a plate of shredded lettuce. A nod to healthy living

Is that lettuce? I thought it was crepe paper.
