Calling Bodil !

1 view before I post this....then

...3 views straight after....1 view out of thin air !

So....2 views added for each post....views are double what they should be !

I concur with the view of the big cat .

I agree with The Leopard, please come back Bodil 

Bodil's in my cellar (at his request). I shall release him when Spring breaks and not a moment sooner.

Good to see you back Annie. Hope that you are well!

Has he received a ban?
Hope not and he's just taking a break.

Thanks, themightymac

I am fine, and hope you are too!

Is that your wine cellar , Pokermonster . No wonder he won't come back here he's more than happy where he is . Happy New Year , Pokermonster . If our friend Bodil and all round , jolly good chap , emerges soon , please wish him a happy new year from myself also . Thanks !

I never did find out what his poison was -  was it wine?

Darling Annie , Wine is not a poison , my dear , wine is a sacred drink , a sacred drink that Jesus himself did make . I reckon Jesus and his 12 apo's got bevvied every night . Good on them , they all deserved , a bit of fun .Happy New Year , Annie .

BoxingTheFox seems to have disappeared again.

I hope he is ok.

Totally agree, Culvin - wine is my choice of 'poison'

I love red wine , port , guinness , gin and tonic , cognac and many others . I sound like a right drunk , don't i ? Oh , well you're only dead once . I actually ,  never get drunk , when alcohol takes me to a lovely , loving place , i stop drinking it . Good night , lovely Annie .

Goodnight Culvin

YES COME BACK BODIL .YES SOMETIMES I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT .BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD AND I THINK YOUR VERY CLEVER .YOUR THE TYPE THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SAT IN A PUB WITH WHEN I DRANK .THE ONES I USED TO SIT WITH WERE NOTHING LIKE YOU OR OLIVER REED .
YOUR INTERESTING WHEN I DONT EVEN KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT .YOUR VERY GOOD COMPANY WHEN IM SOBER BUT IM SURE IF I WAS DRUNK YOU WOULD BE EVEN BETTER

Yes.....he was often very funny....how's it going Do Wah ?

There are two bodils, drunk bodil and sober bodil.

Sober bodil was a brilliant writer, his use of words made me green with envy. He wrote better sober than almost all the journalist and authors that I read - although as he did not write much maybe that is unfair.   Drunk bodil was almost incomprehensible

Yeh , i think i talked to both of those Bodils . We didn't talk often but i did enjoy our few conversations . He could definitely take you to some very interesting conversational places . I got the impression he was a lecturer or something of a similiar profession .May i ask , how you are today , annie ?

I am fine, Culvin, and how are you?

Glad your fine , annie .I would say i'm about fine , too . I could be better , but i'm happy with fine .Were two fine peas in the same chitchat pod .

Actually , i've just thought of a question for you . If you were a vegetable , what vegetable , would you be .I'll go first , i would be a cucumber .

Hello annie. and Culvin.

JOEL! My Friend , how you doin ?

By the way , who's minding the pub ?

Very well thank you sir. I am in Sydney for a few days and just planning what to do. How are you?

I popped into the pub earlier, but for now it is operating on an honour system.

Hi Joel, nice to see you again

Culvin, I haven't a clue what vegetable I would be!

Goodnight to you both

Goodnight annie.

Annie wouldn't be one of your more common vegetables Culvin.
A bit upmarket like Broccoli and a tad saucy.

I'm recovering from a broken heart , but apart from that , i'm ok .I'm doing something that should be fun , tomorrow . I will be attending the local college to study Floristry , flower arranging , ha ha . I will likely be the only fella on the course and hopefully i will be surrounded by beautiful flower girls .

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

Maybe , i'll meet my Madonna , there .

That is no good Culvin, Adele broke your heart?

YES , i think so , Joel .It was my birthday on jan 8th and she didn't even send me a happy birthday card , i just don't understand . I've now removed her pics of my phone and alxo computer . I wish nothing but good for her, but the door of love with her is almost completely shut. More pretty fish in the sea , eh .

Sorry to hear that, maybe she was not aware that it was your birthday, I certainly was not.

I sent her a message on f00kin facbook .

She knew it was my birthday , but i think she thinks i'm a bit of a weirdo . I felt she was a bit afraid of me . I'm tall and a lot of people are intimidated by my size . When i would talk to her , i could see was like a little scared , tremblin bird , i just wanted to hold her and say " Don't be afraid little birdy , i love you " . But as i said , i think i scared her off . Do you have a special lady in your life , joel ?

May I ask how tall you are Culvin? I am kind of tall too though I think it may be other reasons why I do not have a special lady in my life.

Here is a couple of songs for you Culvin.

saucy broccoli, akabula

Yes, come back, Bodil

My children, your prayers have been answered.

I can’t recall a more potentially divisive national crisis in the past 60 years.  We need wise and healing counsel to unite us – the wisdom of Solomon and the divine teachings of Jesus.

Sadly, I can’t provide any of that, but if you want cynical and sarcastic commentary on current affairs, rambling non-sequiturs, random outbursts of obscenity, the occasional forensic dissection of the more annoying posters on here, and drunken pledges of eternal love (everybody needs to be loved), I’m your man/trans/woman/it.  There may even be the odd pearl here and there.

I’m still clearing up a few odds and ends from last year but should be back more regularly shortly.  God knows I had hoped to have escaped from the hell of chit chat, but, like a dog to its vomit, I have returned/been eternally damned. I honestly thought I had better things to do.

Absolutely brilliant, bodil - welcome back and you are sober!

Are you sure you are not a journalist or author?

Still laughing

Welcome back Bodil and yes it is the most divisive the country has ever been in but their is someone who could sort it.

Annis I was torn between Broccoli and Asparagus.
Asparagus with pert tips of course.

Phew !.....welcome back.....thought you'd shuffled off this mortal coil !

In case anyone doesn't know him here he is in the Question Time audience.

Bodil......I'm going to celebrate your return with a whiskey.....cheers !

akabula,

Is that really bodil on Question Time, akabula, or are you having me on?

No Annie. Apologises if my post suggests that.
It was just that I remember him (the man in the vid - not Bodil lol) saying something about putting his life on the line to save the Union.
Very patriotic man.

Thats okay, akabula, goodnight

Bodil.
A shaft of light when all around is darkness.

Seriously though. I agree with the dog to vomit analogy which, whilst it makes me feel a little grubby, explains a lot.
Your post prompted me to write something pointless for the 1st time in over a week.

Welcome back, Oh, wise one . What odds and ends , from last year , do you still have to
clear up , bodil ?

And are you , bod , going to let us know , what you've been up to . Wishing you ,  a slighty , belated , Happy New Year , sir .

I agree with Culvin, are you going to let us know what you have been up to?

You never said a word about your life, except for bodil - interesting   Maybe now you can be more forthcoming?

Goodnight bodil, wherever you are - come back soon

Goodnight lovely , annie .x

Bodil ....what's been going on ?

Yes, Bodil, you come back on and tease us with a brilliant post, one of the best I have ever seen on chit chat, and then disappear - it is not good enough, we expect better

Bodil , where the fugg , are yer , we need you , ha ha . Love and Peace , to the one and only , Bod Man .
