May I say firstly that I apologise for being off topic, however I feel I must answer this scurrilous attempt by Robin, to sully my impeccable reputation.

I have enjoyed at least 20 trips to Bugis Street in my lifetime, most in the pre Lee Kuan Yue era when the moral standard of this wonderful location left a little to be desired, however, although I feasted my eyes on some of the delights that were on display, I never stooped to touching any of the merchandise.

I can recall though, on numerous occasions, the colourful characters that frequented Bugis Street stopping me and asking if I knew when “Tafmo” would be back. I didn’t know Robin at the time and when I asked the girls and boys why they were so interested in “Tafmo”, they all told me that they loved him because he spent so much money taking them home and loving them.

I will be visiting Bugis Street to buy some cheap watches on two occasions in September and October this year, (how coincidental that it is just before Robin arrives) so I will keep an eye out for some of those characters and tell them that “Tafmo” is coming and even though he is old, may still be able to cum.

Neddie, there's no need to try and wheedle your way out of this by semantics on position..... I know you didn't stoop to touch anything....I heard you were on your knees....

Should be able to make it this year. Have booked to arrive in Sydney on Friday and then leave for 2 weeks in Maui thereafter. Probably won't be able to drink alcohol but that's no drama.

Good news Tad. Look forward to saying hello again.

Plenty of good places to see in Maui Trevor, looking forward to having a chat on the run.

One of the attractions we have at this year's Basin Trials is to open up a Can O' Whupass on PW for causing unnecessary pain angst on his recent trip to the Himalayas.

All attendees are invited to bring a 'bar of soap in a sock' accessory to repay said pain & angst.

On completion of said repayment, mismusters will be held where PW will be persuaded to remain in-country for some time. Of course, assistance will be required to hold his foot in place on the Frisco's floor so the persuasion (pictured below) can be installed.
