Rather odd, Duj? What is really odd, then?
There are levels of oddity, 'rather' is one.
'Really odd' means the opposite of even; true?
Covid is getting to you. Take it easy.
Really odd or very odd or extremely odd?
In quantum mechanics, are there degrees of "Oddity"?
I think there are in BBC wildlife programmes.
Only one in space programmes, according to Bowie.
Combining wildlife with degrees there's always Bill Oddie.
Bill, I think, has always qualified as "wildlife".
Sometimes I wish *I* had a wild life.
Pen, methinks wild lives are usually grately overrated.
Maybe. My dog retrieved a dead rat yesterday.
Was the rat dead before the canine intervention?
I have a very painful canine right now
I should take him to the vet pronto.
Or, perhaps, if one is closer, a dentist.
The rat was deceased, no more. And mummified.
Is it really appropriate to mummify a rat?
Maybe it volunteered - seeking paradise in rat afterlife.
No! In my mind 'Ratty' will never die.
Was it a female rat? Was it NefRATtiti?
Hard to say. Shrivelled genitals. More like NosfeRATu.
May Zarquon save us all from shrivelled genitals
He certainly did the job with Buster Gonad
Was everyone taken aback by that last one?
I thought it was a load of bollocks.
*Looks aghast, askance at Bollockbar and faints, faintly*
That's it, penelope, hit 'em where it hurts.
Friday afternoon. What a shocker of a week.
Here, have a cup of tea. Do you good.
This is just to balance the pile. (Sorry, Superman, but it had to be done.)
A dog pile? I sometimes have that, literally.
I have no idea. What's 'a dog pile'?
Is it a carpet made of dog hair?
It is Radar and Niblet on my lap.
I'm still none the wiser. What's that about?
You ought to know this, pen - they're pets.
Niblet and RAdar can make little barking sounds.
Ah. Mine's 'Chip' after potato, not the microprocessor.
Not a peep since Monday. Is everyone OK?
Busy week. Too much work. Please send cake.
Belgium will start lockdown again on Monday. Wonderful.
This was announced on the Friday evening before.
Break it! (You've broken the eight word rule...)
[Pablo] That was two eights, you steaming nit.
Two eights still break the eight word rule
[Boolbar] Wilco. I'm in need of cakes myself.
Did someone say cake? Is it a home-bake?
Certainly is. We’re in bake-down here, not lockdown.
I am craving a Victoria sponge right now.
Just had a digestive biscuit, hits the spot.
There are no limits to your dietary adventurousness.
I made fudge.
[CdM] No, you have fudged. There's a difference.
And the difference is those five missing words.
[Bismarck] Penelope shows the double-move loophole, exploited correctly :-)
[pen] I've consistently rejected this game's fascistic octoverbism.
(CdM) A false claim, alas, given your last contribution.
There may be only eight things worth saying.
[Rosie] Moves can be eight words by accident!
What's happened to the cake? Where is it?
(CdM) Only if their numbers have Gaussian distribution.
(Pablo) Consumed. There'll be more in good time.
Good time. Walnut cake with cream cheese frosting.
Sounds delicious. I'll make do with mince pies.
I found two mince pies in the fridge.
How did you resuscitate them after cryogenic freezing?
That is not dead which can eternal lie...
I saw the first snow of winter today.
I just finished a year-old box of paklava.
Upcoming first trip to London in 10 months.
Socially distanced Tantra, Titian, Artemisia, Gesualdo, and Sin.
Are you okay Raak? I'm just slightly worried...
[Pablo] Relax, he's gone all ...arty on us.
The excitement of my life knows no bounds.
As does a kangaroo standing in super glue.
Which made me laugh out loud - cheers Boolbar
Actually, I haven't had any mince pies yet.
I've just been sent four in the post.
A week to go. Start on the booze.
I think I've just finished working in 2020.
I finished working a long time before that.
So did I. Pass the bottle opener, please.
I need to find a new job. now.

Hidden text(KS) Can't quite see you on the footplate but I hope you find something soon. Being jobless is bad news

I finished work for the year last Friday.
All this talk about work makes me thirsty.
I fancy a little bit of cheese: Wensleydale.
I fancy a lot of cheese. Port Salut.
A little bit of bread and no cheese.
Are you trying to give me the bird?
[Softers] Just a pear tree. With no partridge.
The first eight words of 2021 have arrived.
I hope they don't include "Brexit" or "Covid".
Covid Covid Covid Covid Covid Covid Covid Covid...

I don't think 5G towers are very combustible.
You have to fire a Qanon at them.

Trump declares an emergency and suspends Inauguration Day.
The Covid vaccines prove fatal in three months.
A deadlier virus escapes from the Wuhan lab.

Has Armageddon arrived while I was not watching?
"And I saw, and behold a white horse."
Raak, how many coffees did you have yesterday?
"And the name of that horse was 'Binky'."
Alas, the coffee runs out, the vision fades.
I'm quite exhausted and it's only the 15th
Try retirement, like me and Rosie, you know.
I'm remodelling my home office. Another 17 years...
That's got to be a blockbuster movie, Raak.
I like reruns of the Blockbusters game show.

Well, nobody has posted since penelope nineteenth January.
Pen's memorable guffaw has quite simply destroyed us.
Sorry about that folks. Now I'm straight faced.
