Where is Orioles?

He came in here several weeks ago in typical modest fashion, announcing he was back and authorising the killing of fatted calves, bunting being put out etc., and then he disappeared again. He always used to be a regular on the placepot competition but he hasn't been doing that for a while. Although tbf that probably hasn't affected his score much.
But yes he's greatly missed.

Tough times I'm afraid!

I heard he had to let some of his staff go, so now he has to get up, make his own "Kedgeree" and iron his newspapers.

I heard he was doing a 2 year stretch at Her Maj's Pleasure for exposing himself at the Ritz when his fillet mignon came over done shouting, "This is the colour I wanted you mincing oik"

Unfortunately, the Police commissioner was at the next table with his family.

Isn't it this time of the year that he takes a shooting party up to his estate in Scotland for a fortnight?

The estate is over the water, in France.

As far as I can ascertain, he's on a world cruise with oggsbog.

Orioles,AKA Constance Briscoe is unavailable at the minute.

Operation Yewtree ?

Personally I think his butler has died and O has refused to touch an unclean keyboard.

The correct answer is imo that as the great man ages his delicate sensibilities cannot tolerate the dross that appears daily on this forum...better to abstain than court fatuity.

Tru dat, I've put on weight since I joined !
