Sorry, but I am of course not at liberty to divulge that information. Nice turn of phrase, that, so much nicer than "I can neither confirm nor deny". And of course loads more polite than the direct "well, I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you," so beloved of the penny dreadfuls.
No, this is just simply allowing nature to take its course right now. A black bag job would be almost superfluous. Wetwork should be reserved for those instances where it really is the best solution. Though I must say I have had a few sanctioned jobs where I really took pleasure in my work. A couple of those, well, I would have done them "pro bono", but don't tell anybody.
Cheers!
Chas.

The waitstaff is friendly... Good evening my lovely, I'll have a pint of London Pride please...... Oh and someone has left the lights on, on their Zeppelin outside, the red one. Any idea whose it might be? |

I'll have a gin and tonic to try to get "All along the Watchtower" out of my head. Your post's title has had it going for a bit now trying to come up with a good steam parody.
I have been enjoying the "Battlestar Galactica" version of "All Along the Watchtower", as of late. Me too. I love that version. |

OOOOOh, it is painful to pass up a perfect straight line... But here are early good wishes for your happy birthday, Miss Jennette. Enjoy, be safe, and many happy returns of the day.
Oh, well DONE, Pnakotus. Well done indeed.
Now, has anybody seen Harold's feet?
Cheers!

My preferred phrase I stole from house of cards "You might think that... I couldn't possibly comment" Dont worry won't tell a soul, except possibly the new barmaid in the strangely alluring uniform... btw a further whiskey mac if you would be so kind..... has anyone seen the dodo? I seem to have misplaced him...  |

Which that? This that, or some other that? If this that, then thanks  Oh, well DONE, Pnakotus. Well done indeed.
Thanks Would you like a job, here, sir?
Thanks, but ... 1) This song is a fluke, and subjecting our fellows to my attempts at further songs would probably not be appreciated. Feel fortunate that you can't actually hear me play (read: fumble clumsily with and attempt not to break) an instrument or sing.  2) According to my CDI contract this portion of the timeline is my designated "vacation zone", so although I can frequent as many steamy establishments as I like, I am not allowed to actually work for them. I will have another gin and tonic though. Double lime, please ... |

*twiddles her thumbs by the door waiting for the 23rd*
damn close now!
*Enters and leaves hat, cloak with the cloakroom maid, walks to bar and says to Miss Heber*:- Ahem...! I think that you ought to know Miss, that as this is a "Virtual Pub", you can drink no matter you where you are. *To the barperson*:- 2 pints of Brains SA in dimpled glasses please and put it on my account thank you. There you go Miss Heber enjoy, but do take it easy though. |

There you go Miss Heber enjoy, but do take it easy though. Agreed, we also haven't established a location or national jurisdiction (do we need to?) and here in the UK anyone of any age can enter a pub if they serve food and they don't approach the bar. If no fodd then entry at sixteen (just no alcohol), and alcohol at eighteen. So come on in and enjoy yourself (in moderation of course) just stay in the UK zones |
