I think I should have the thread split on account of not having had one for years.

Galted's apparently.

Galted refutes the idea. He mused, before stating in a typically forthright fashion that his ego is in immaculate condition and requires no thread split.

Missed the split, f**k

Galted is prepared to forfeit his split if Rick's 'Missed the split, f**k' can be used instead.

That's how he rolls.

Galted knows that the thread split post is sacrosanct and that his offer is simply an empty display that fools no-one.

Galted bows to nothing but is prepared to defer to Culture Cup lore/law.

Hasn't been such heated discussion over something so sacred since Edward the Confessor died.

I'm not Edward the Confessor.

Magnanimously, Galted eschews the Thursday fist.

l*l out loud

Sicond, after Galted's non-fist fist.

Edward the Contirder.

Fort.

Sorry about the essay.

We recently worked our way through Boardwalk Empire. One of the side characters was called George Remus, who was one of those rare people who talked about themselves in the third person.

The real story of Remus is well worth a read (and yes the third person thing was for real). He started off working as a pharmacist in his dad's shop, took over the business and opened an additional couple of pharmacies before giving it all up and going into law.

He became a very successful lawyer and developed the defense of temporary insanity. He was making a fortune but, as this was during prohibition, found that some of his clients were making ridiculous amounts of money out of the illegal alcohol trade so decided on another career change.

He used his knowledge of law to work out a loophole in the Volstead act. He produced booze legally for 'medical purposes' then hijacked his own shipments before selling the alcohol on.

Eventually he was arrested for tax evasion and sent to jail. To protect his cash he put it in his wife's name. This he told to a fellow inmate who had befriended him. Said inmate was actually an undercover cop. However instead of passing this information back to his employers the cop left his job, hooked up with Remus's wife and they basically did a runner with Remus's money.

When Remus was released from jail a couple of years later he found out where his wife was, got a gun then shot her dead in public. At the subsequent trial he successfully defended himself, pleading temporary insanity. After a year in an asylum he was released and lived out the rest of his years quietly.

What a life. Was his wife a showgirl or a teenage sweetheart?

It was his 2nd wife, his legal secretary.

Galted says that this very much mirrors his own life as he, too, refers to himself in the third person.

Is Galtova nervous yet?

Tina thinks that Galted is being a bit of a bell end.

Can't be helped, as the thread splitter it's my duty to be noticed.

Does anyone else think that Paralympians should ride wounded horses in the equestrian events?

Appears to be just you, Galted.

Maybe I should float the idea on the golf thread.

Not a bad idea at all. They should definitely blindfold the riders and make the horses jump over burning fences and pools of burning oil.

Please don't disrupt the thrilling conversation about personal data and GDPR.

My contributions to that thread were nothing short of slightly interesting.

It's cruel, I know. I take no pleasure in informing you.

Galted's use of the personal pronoun makes Julius happy.

I am pleased that Galted's use of the personal pronoun makes Julius happy.

Rick has a fist, get the f**k in.

Sicond. Very glad for Rick that he got his fist the f*ck in.

Tird.
Rather excitingly I had a PM overnight from a young lady who has seen me from a distance and would like to further make my acquaintance. Those weren't the exact words but that was the gist of it. Things are looking up.

Friday fort.

That is very exciting.  I recently met an Eastern European lady online. She's very keen to meet up but, unfortunately, her grandmother has been taken ill. I've been helping with medical bills and she can't wait to meet me as soon as granny is better.

Sorry to jump ship, but it's all happening on Tino's Runcorn thread today.

Galted wrote:Sorry to jump ship, but it's all happening on Tino's Runcorn thread today.

One of my favourite threads.

As another aside... I loved it when Mike Holding on Day 1 said: "India in a spot of bother..."  
It sends chills when your team is on the receiving end of that phrase. I was almost nodding off at the time but those words certainly perked me up.

Galted wrote:Sorry to jump ship, but it's all happening on Tino's Runcorn thread today.

I feel invigorated by that thread coming back from the dead.

Yours and LiW's contributions have been nothing short of sensational. Not to mention RG for kicking it all off again.

It has a long way to go before it reaches your Reykjavik thread but if we are still here in 10 years it will have a chance.

I think he means we might be busy after the book comes out and the film is being made. I'll still try to pop in a have a look though.

That is exactly what I mean.

I'll still be working on Rd 1 of the next Culture Cup as well.

Fist. Saddened to discover that the rest of you were Lee "Scratch" Perry.

Sicond. I'm hoping Jules wasn't Ed Asner.

Tird.
I'm not Johnny Ventura.

Thought I'd stun everyone with a surprise bank holiday fist. Have to say I'm a little disappointed.

Going to have to unmichaelise you, Galted. No bank holiday here so I'll cop the stigma.
No rush guys. Have a good day... see you when you feel up to it.

Cheers, PJ, very kind of you.

If you ever need a wallaby or a troublesome neighbour taken care of, give me a shout. I know people.
