    Sorry, I'm just getting up and have to go take a shower in my gold plated bathroom while my Major Domo prepares my breakfast of blinis and champagne.

    Tut, tut, that's very nouveau riche, dear, not to say trumpy.

    And you let the majordomo make breakfast? Don't you have a cook or at least a maid?

    Which whiskey is it if you don't mind? Got Pater some 18 year old Jameson for a gift. I've given him other more expensive bottles in the past but he likes his jemmy.

    You eat something as common as cheese? I'm enjoying a dodo egg omelette, garnished with the tears of clubbed baby seals.

    Very sorry old chum, I did take you to mean Irish whiskey, not the Scottish equivalent, whisky. It is reputed to be a very fine example of scotch, nonetheless, to your good health, and a merry Christmas to you too.

    I was driving out of Galway earlier and was overtaken by a fancy BMW driving like it owned the road. My immediate though was AvB must have collected his cheese.

    I was chatting to Aongus on a recent trip to Hamburg. I think tone can be lost through text. He's really quite a loveable rogue. He admitted he wasn't really familiar with the Hamburg Christmas markets but was quick to offer advice on local beers and cuisine along with some tips on how to get in with the natives!

    I'm sure he won't mind me saying that he's not quite as.....pompous (apologies Aongus but I've had a tipple or two and my English has plummeted as a result)....on a one to one level.

    Sounds like you've had more than a tipple or two if you think you've been talking to a fictional character. :rolleyes:

    Frankfurt, whoopsa, Frankfurt, where the finance business is. Not Hamburg. Though he might have been on his way to the Elbphilharmonie, cultured and sophisticated as he is.

    He wouldn't though "get in with the natives", but might know about the best gourmet Fischbrötchen (fish sandwich) to get - which probably is as far as he gets "native".

    Gosh, I love that wannabe Bismarck character. He is attitude-wise so inspiring, even if he slips occasionally. But that's the Galway Boy for you.

    Gus appears to have called it very right. Almost to the day. Permabear should stick to the Cyril Squirrel saving stamps, and leave the investment advice to a real pro like AvB.

    After asking him if he was going out as somebody who made something of himself, he muttered weakly in return something about dressing up as a complete prick. Terrible stuff, really.

    Ah now Aongus, instigating an argument there.
