| Thrifty is not morbid. Bitter, negative, cynical, alcoholic, vindictive, irritable, unhappy, depressing, obsessive, angst ridden- yes- but morbid-no. |

..... but fun
Happy new year to all.
Thrifty I know an ideal spot for you. Down in that little park on the Bozzie in Findikli.
I'll be the one on the bench drinking out a bottle wrapped in newspaper.
Just be sure to wear your hat. 'tis a bit chilly at the mo. |

Yeah, sorry if I sound a bit jaded and cynical, but I am, so that's how it comes out.
Thrifty isn't morbid though, and always knows the best offers on beer. See you ll down findikli, I'll be the one with the Efes Extra and three day old chicken durum. |

| Yes. Quite right. You're a cranky old bugger, Thrifty, but l wouldn't say you were morbid. I doubt that you celebrate and revel in the deaths of American soldiers at Christmas or any other time for that matter. |
