I'm not being critical but over the past months I have noticed that it seems to be just the usual suspects making contributions. It reminds me a bit of a Carry On... movie where the characters never change and the storyline is fairly consistent, we get to see a few bums and tits, but we don't get the laughs.
Now, I know Asher doesn't reap the benefits of advertising so numbers aren't all that important to maintain the place and sweep the floors but it might seem the conversations are a bit narrow and predicable. Certainly my contributions are. I feel like the heckler in the crowd at the cricket most days. Nothing really substantial to contribute except a few choice words when the bowler is polishing his ball.
I'm not even suggesting here that we need a cure for this ailment. It's just that I have noticed in my own circle of associates outside this place that if you hang around too long you start to hear the same old stories being told and the same old jokes start to wear a bit thin.
It's easy for me to suggest if I'm bored I can always go somewhere else. I do from time to time. It's just that when I return its like I haven't been away. That may be a good thing. Maybe I should stay away longer. Absence and all that!
I might add as well that there are few women contributors on any sort of regular basis. I must admit I do prefer the company of women. They smell nice and are far better to look at. Not that that is important here but you get my drift.
So I leave this open for discussion among the Old Men, smoking their pipes and sipping on vintage port in the back room while they discuss cameras of significance and art and the importance of being important. I don't want to lower the tone, just hear some new jokes.
