Not true! Willo does actually talk some sense on occasions! Edited by Phil’s Barber (11 Jun 2024 3.58pm) I think even if he doesn’t, he’s such a wordsmith I’m not sure whether I agree or disagree sometimes And that’s a pop at myself for my lack of vocabulary not Willo

Some gentleman commenting on my oratory some time ago remarked "The more the blether the more confusing it gets" and he was a well-heeled man of erudition.

It is most gratifying to discern that you are in fine fettle, Willo. Delight in your interlude; notwithstanding, I postulate that the inexorable enticement of proffering commentary on the imminent season will precipitate your return with greater alacrity than anticipated!
The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots |

My word. I garland your rhetorical panache which was met with approbation in 'Chez Willo'.Truly a 'Chef d'oeuvre' with an aura of grandiloquence. Absolutely marvellous - I tip my Panama hat !

Why, thank you, Willo. To be the recipient of such effusive encomiums from your esteemed self is exceedingly gratifying!

Den Tyler This HOL ‘Blighter’ has not infested this esteemed site for a while but I have decided to re-emerge solely to reply to you out of utmost respect for your concern and kind sentiments. I am humbled,honoured and gratified.Thank you. I am delighted to report that I am fine and dandy but owing to the advancement of years I would not admit to being in peppy form with more bounce than seen on a Baywatch beach sprint! I am still able to lubricate my larynx, accordingly a rigid observance of teetotalism is never on the agenda ! Thankfully I have not reached the stage where I mutter away like an ancient, addlepated wino. Finally I give my best wishes to all those on HOL with whom I have communicated with over the years and bored all and sundry as an ‘Elijah of Doom’ ! I have often suspected that the multitudes concluded I was a cast-iron, chateau bottled yawn ! My Kind regards to you all.I have been privileged to have been in such esteemed company.In terms of HOL and our club,Onwards and upwards. Adios.
Really
“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn |

Really I can understand your thinking on this matter ! Alas as an orator I am a damp 'Panatella', takes a while to catch alight and leaves an acrid taste.

What a thrill it is to see you back- with the greatest respect to all- when Willo retreated for a break and well deserved R & R- I also stepped back- I absolutely love your commentary and your poignant ways… you are a class act and like so many others look forward to your posts- now that you have re-emerged so will I. I’m so happy to hear that you are still with us & you & your better half are doing well ! Edited by Clevander (11 Jun 2024 8.50pm)
Red & Blue since ' 76.. And what a fine year that was and has been ever since... ! |

Edited by Clevander (11 Jun 2024 8.50pm) My goodness me, such kind and generous sentiments for which I am truly grateful. Thank you so very much. I can only reiterate that I returned to the esteemed HOL merely out of courtesy to respond to a post as I deemed it would have been disrespectful not to do so.To assert that the reaction from the great and good has been overwhelming is a total understatement. I am immensely grateful for all the messages of support for an old duffer, cerebrally challenged, and I am confident that you will all continue to add great value to the esteemed HOL.
