After reading the sticky thread and some of the comments. I can not help but think

[Sir C]

Apparently it wasn't always a given that Poirot would be sporting that huge tache. Makes you think doesn't it?

I'll have no truck with the fellow. Belgian, see?

Now Maigret. There's a detective for you. Have you ever mused, as I often have, whether, should Inspector Maigret have opened the batting for the Police Judiciare First Xl, and should be, by chance, be be bowled first ball, would it be rude to describe him as a Maigret de Canard?

BOOM!

I did wonder, but I'm rather intrigued to find out where his stream of consciousness will take us.

Yes. I'm also quite enjoying the conversational gymnastics.

Oh, very good.

Mind you, Simenon was Belgian. You realise that, of course?

Also, technically, he wouldn't have to be bowled first ball for it to be a canard. That would be un canard d'or.

Yes, but I can ignore Simenon and concentrate on the good detective.

that I am somewhat responsible for the decline in Awimb.

Hijacking threads is how I made my name here.
Off topic items = yep about 95% of my posts have nothing to do with football. Probably as I am not an expert.

Sorry.

Not at all, son. You have no agenda or vendetta.

You being the most lovable of characters on AWIMB put your hat forward as mod and would be trusted to be neutral.
