Missing in Action?
Re: Missing in Action?
Neither of you are being helpful. It is now tucked away in the cupboard and no more needs to be said about it.
Move along, nothing to see here.

Re: Missing in Action?
I don't suppose mine turned up with it?
Must be lost on its own, pining in some corner of the Bell, perhaps.

Re: Missing in Action?
I think you would feel better for sharing these feelings. 'Tucking it away' may be a way for you to avoid conflict and your responsibility but don't you think it would be better to open the cupboard? These are old feelings Derek and wouldn't it be wonderful to have a new start?DRT wrote:Neither of you are being helpful. It is now tucked away in the cupboard and no more needs to be said about it.

Thought not.

Some cupboards are best left closed.LGTrotter wrote:don't you think it would be better to open the cupboard?

Derek, I can lend you my copy of 'Reinventing Your Cupboard', it changed my life, especially chapter 7. Taken in conjunction with very strong drugs it is extremely effective.

A life-coach moment has arrived. He needs less of strong drugs, and less of the food and booze. Just less.
And, whilst we’re on it, I should diss’ the competition: heed not the Jungian feminist post-modern cupboard analysts. They are quacks.

Now I am getting to it. Derek, can't you see that he is just using you to get to me. Let it all out Julian...jdaw1 wrote:A life-coach moment has arrived. He needs less of strong drugs, and less of the food and booze. Just less.

Actually now I come to think of it I'm not sure how much cupboard it is safe to have, shut it away, Julian, shut it away...

Julian's cupboard is there for all to see. He's never been ashamed of it.

Re: Missing in Action?
Sure, we've all got 'cupboard', but some 'cupboard' is cupboardier than others. Some cupboards are a kept in an iron chest in a locked room in a disused shed on another continent, for instance. But I like 'cupboard' and hope I give good 'cupboard'.djewesbury wrote:Julian's cupboard is there for all to see. He's never been ashamed of it.

Re: Missing in Action?
Look, what matters is what you put in your cupboard. In Derek's case that's a small piece of drinksware that he's anthropomorphised into a surrogate child. Meanwhile's Julian's cupboards have no doors and their contents bulge at the frames in their eagerness to be consumed. This is a nightmare, Owen, and only you and me are getting out alive. I've got the keys. Run.

Re: Missing in Action?
Just noticed as ‘missing in action’ is one of my magnum decanters. Perhaps it was loaned to somebody, and was then forgotten. Is that you?

Perhaps it went to TBH with half a double magnum in it?

Re: Missing in Action?
Would you have used it to decant the Vau DM for the '97 Maturity Evaluation? If I recall correctly, the Vau DM at that event arrived in multiple bottles.
Re: Missing in Action?
Thank you for the help, but it has been found, at my father’s. Perhaps it was last used for a magnum of Noval 1963.
