Why not?

Oh dear, after all this fun, did I say something wrong?

And on that nervous note, from me at least it's. . .

No worries Graeme; it's just that we're all a bit frayed and edgy after a 12 page schlockathon.  A little lie down after a glass of warm chicken milk will be just what the doctor ordered.

This string was getting a little strained.

Very glad to hear that. Humour can be a dangerous thing and after a lot of good-natured and definitely non-malicious banter and mock insults on all sides, one slight mis-step can sometimes (totally unintentionally) catch someone the wrong way. As you say, we all need to relax and chill out. No chicken milk for me. A drop of brandy and a Nicaraguan Corona will do me nicely, though.

Thanks to all concerned for a quite remarkably funny and wide-ranging (and sometimes bewildering) saga and I think we can all congratulate ourselves.

Why not, indeed!

@graeme-ogg ..........know what else is dangerous?..........monkeys !!!  ....

..........and old abandoned dynamite in shackled mines!!!!!!!

...........mostly tho......monkeys WITH dynamite

Now you're just trying to confuse me again. Of course, with two generous glasses of Courvoisier inside me, that isn't difficult. I can do it all by myself.

LOL.  Thank you for being so polite Frank.  I would say, with all due respect, that this string was strung.

@jack-dodds I was going for the colander reference that started this thing.  Strung out is right!  😀

@frank I was hip to the connection Frank.  Yeah, by the merciful end we were all drained.
