TEST!! Had this been an actual post, you'd have been instructed to...

[144man]

I'm wise to all their antics.

[westgrandboulevard]

You should compile an anthology.

[144man]

That's not something I anticipate doing.

[westgrandboulevard]

Then I shall just sit here anthill you do!

[144man]

... and I shall just sit here formicating.

[westgrandboulevard]

That would be quite uncomfortable, I imagine.

[144man]

Yes, formicating will often result in an anticlimax.

[westgrandboulevard]

There would be so many of them, it must be an orgy?

[moe]

Only for the hooched-up westgrand!!

[144man]

It's no picnic.

[westgrandboulevard]

A walk in the park sounds infinitely preferable.

[moe]

Quite right, westgrand, but it would be infinitely BORING!

[westgrandboulevard]

Depends on who accompanies one on the walk, or who one meets in the park...

[144man]

A lark in the park sounds so much better.

[westgrandboulevard]

Flying as high as your kite...

[moe]

Or, flying as high as you can.............on that hooch!

[144man]

I'd fly to the moon, but I prefer somewhere with a little more atmosphere.

[westgrandboulevard]

As a getaway, the views up there are stunning, but the service is non-existent......

[moe]

And the food is very light..........

[144man]

...and if anyone's been on diet, they get instant results when they weigh themselves.

[westgrandboulevard]

I've noticed in recent years that bathroom scales and mirrors now attempt to deceive. Liars, all of them...

[144man]

Yes, everytime I look in the mirror, I can see my father looking back at me. I must get a lock put on the bathroom door.

[moe]

It's either that or you have wandered into Harry Potter's mirror of ERISED....I wondred what happened to that mirror!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

"it does not do to dwell on dreams, and forget to live..."

[144man]

That mirror is kept under lock and key in the remotest region of 144world.

[westgrandboulevard]

Which means it's in a locker, in the remotest region of Platforms 9 & 10, King's Cross Station, London

[144man]

Drat! I'll have to move it again.

[westgrandboulevard]

I've done it already. It's now kept under lock and key in the remotest region of westgrandboulevardworld.

[144man]

That's easy for you to say.

[westgrandboulevard]

Well, it just slipped off my tongue.

[moe]

And broke? Oh boy, if it did that's 7 years bad luck.

[westgrandboulevard]

Magic mirrors and superstition can bring good luck, as well as bad.

If it breaks, I won't be shattered.

[moe]

Hardly, westgrand. You're a survivor like the rest of us!

[westgrandboulevard]

Survivors only exist following dramatic episodes, such as accidents or prolonged illness.

Otherwise, in the normal course of things, we're either alive - or we ain't.

We'd best make the most of life. We're not coming out of it alive

Now, where's that mirror......

[144man]

I'm not worried about getting 7 years bad luck through breaking a mirror. I'll probably get 7 years bad luck even if I don't.

Well, it just slipped off my tongue.

Wgb, why are you putting Vaseline on your tongue?

[westgrandboulevard]

Well, why not? I use it everywhere else.....

[144man]

Everywhere?

[westgrandboulevard]

Elbows, knees, heels, for a start, then hands - after that, it seems to migrate......

[144man]

I used it in 17 places; Shepherds Bush was only one.

[westgrandboulevard]

I gave up running around looking for lost lambs years ago. Most of them turned out to be crooks.

[144man]

Most of them turned out to be delicious.

[westgrandboulevard]

Agreed, roast lamb is a tup favourite, in all wethers....

[144man]

You really know how to ram home a point. They said I mutton tell you, but I can re-veal I'm going to lunch now.

[westgrandboulevard]

Chickening out, again.....

[144man]

Started with horse d'oeuvres, of course.

[westgrandboulevard]

"I know an old lady who swallowed a horse.
She's dead. Of course...."

[144man]

Don't you think it's time you came in out of the heat?

[westgrandboulevard]

You're probably right. This rotisserie just can't take my weight.

[144man]

It was the apple in your mouth that was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

[westgrandboulevard]

I got my just deserts in the end.
