Thanks @ianess – I’ve been trying to remember the title of ‘Smiley Gets a Gun’ for over forty years now and you’ve just prompted the answer for me. I loved that film.

A strange year for me. I was coaxed back to the Afterword by my very good friends @h-p-saucecraft (who then mysteriously buggered off shortly thereafter) and @ianess who remains steadfast and true.

I’m loving […]

@ianess memorably mentioned that some artists can’t tell the difference between bel canto and can belto.

@ianess Can you refrain from continually insulting me in passing while posting on various threads on here.

If you are trying to drive me away from posting on here, it won’t work.

And note that I have […]

Unfortunately @ianess, he will have no problem getting a job with a major club side, PSG or Bayern possibly.
Bloody annoying as it is, he is still ‘box office’, thankfully he won’t be soiling these shores for […]

I shouldn’t sneer, it’s true @ianess

But nothing I have seen of the Sweden Democrats, from their appearances on TV and in the media to their political leaflets that I get through my letterbox, has done anything […]

Sout fellow, Corporal Tigger. As you were.

It would appear @ianess actually PMed me. Well he PMed the dead address that was associated with this account until this morning (thanks @hannah) sor sorting me out. […]

Jings @ianess, I feel like someone who has made an ill-judged intervention in a drunken domestic.

However, in a surprise development, it’s not about *you*. It’s about protecting the community standards we all […]

@ianess As I said, my tongue was in my cheek. You stay as sweet as you are now. x

@ianess So, am I a moron or a cretin? Just so I’m clear.

@ianess Nope. It was just a light-hearted dig at Bono. As you know, zealots of all stripes have for many centuries been notorious killjoys and enemies of self-expression. Just thought a bit of historical […]

@ianess Nope. You lost me. Care to elaborate?

I’m sure even @ianess would cut you some slack on that one, he was such a fascinating man.

Hey, it worked for me – I’ve ordered one of those copies. At the risk of being accused by @ianess of acting to type, it was the thought of someone following in the footsteps of Cunninghame Graham that did it.

@ianess You say ‘He,’ with such amusing certainty.

“Passer pour un idiot aux yeux d’un imbécile est une volupté de fin gourmet.”
“to be taken for an idiot by an imbecile is a connoisseur’s delicate pleasure”

@ianess and @gatz, I agree that “pauvre con” is a d […]

@ianess, you’ll enjoy this then.

I hate Halloween too, especially when I contemplate the thousands (millions?) of tons of useless Chinese plastic crap that ends up in landfill.

Question @ianess
Was there anything that didn’t go Australia’s way. I mean apart from the 15 /8 penalty count.

Not sure @ianess – it may be, but I seem to remember it having a longer name. Pisco sours can be quite nice, although it’s a bit odd having something with egg white on top of it. Don’t think I’d want to drink it neat, mind.
