Have I missed something? Why would he have played his last game for us?

Appleton clearly stated that he had a personal matter to deal with. Not for us to speculate.

If there is anything for us to know, we will be told at the appropriate time.

Very responsible comment. Unfortunately this here is an internet forum so it is incumbenton us to discuss the matter in a prurient and sensationalist way. Some of us, ox4eva is very good at this, can feign moral revulsion, others will make a noise about not caring (I do that too much; oufcyellows will grasp slightly less than one half of what it's actually about then browbeat anyone who disagrees his bald assertions with volleys of invective-laden posts. If it gets really heated even boogaloo will stray from Miscellaneous and be a bit pompous, dannyc make speak words of wisdom. Eventually M will deliver a throwaway line and after that Pete Burrell will get involved; the room will be suddenly empty. So. I'll start. It's about popcorn, the showers, a female member of staff and a plot to silence the only person to see the episode in question that goes horribly wrong.

You forgot that u will throw in a few words that nobody has a clue what they mean, and some claims that he once ate some fancy foods, in an imaginary restaurant at a local pub 😉. Probably while wearing a cravat

Due to personal issues I'm unable to oblige.

Someone can usually be relied on to post an image from a Twitter page which clearly tells us all we need to know and the speculation can then stop in its tracks.

Last chance to wear the tasselled loafers, before the Oxford brogues come out too, I'd wager. Will you also be sporting your old Harrovian tie, that is worn ridiculously short? PS: Seen the menu? Not sure chef will have too many takers for the Cambodian vegan selection!

White lads with dreadlocks, eh? He's got on at Mine Host to go for colour therapy at that place in Church Cowley Road. The Host didn't get what colour therapy is to start with. That was awkward to say the least. Even after he was held down and the concept was explained to him quite slowly he's definitely not up for it.
Chef may not be there long, it's safe to say.

What would be wrong with just good old Bangers and Mash whilst wearing double pleated Oxford bags with burgundy tassel loafers?

Thank you for popping in to the Cannell Couture Counselling Centre, Baz. and that's a question we here at CCCC can get our teeth into.
Burgundy loafers are a sartorial risk at the best of times and it takes a brave man to carry them off. Worn with mustard cords I'm afraid they don't work and, while Oxford bags are a safer option any day a lot depends on the colour. A scarlet or maroon bag is quite effective if you avoid any obvious clashing but a grey Oxford bags and burgundy loafer combo says something about that even your worst enemy might shudder to utter.

Hmmm, burgundy tassle loafers. I'm not sure, as they tend to look rather cheap if over polished, or rather scruffy if under polished. Maybe a burgundy suede pair might work, but then there is an issue of what colour cords would one wear, red, mustard, olive green, or maybe even burgundy? Or maybe mustard cords and a burgundy cardigan?
Decisions decisions...................

I say chaps, there really is only one way to go this Autumn... Navy and mustard checked moleskin trousers, Cream and navy large checks Tattersall shirt, Red shooting stockings, Ox blood tasseled loafers, Thorner tweed waistcoat, Baskerville tweed jacket, Gold engraved cashmere silk scarf, topped off with of course my Lovat moleskin Garforth cap. Jenkins my man servant is available for hire at mates rates to all suitably higher educated gents who like to live their lives at the higher end of town... Oh and I nearly forgot, an essential accessory is of course the shooting stick for bashing those nasty little maggot filled robins that very occasionally infest our city...

That's all well and good, but as a member of the Save the Mole Campaign (Oxfordshire Gourmets Branch) I'm a little concerned at how many moles died to create your ensemble. Indeed, we are so concerned, that we are holding an emergency meeting in the snug of the Blackbird immediately after the port and Stilton on Saturday. Be warned, the last time this happened was after chef tried to introduce his infamous mole and juniper croquettes, and he had to seek political asylum in Uzbekistan.
Save The Oxfordshire Moles.

My dear chap, I feel I must inform you that the moles used in the making of my aforesaid attire were imported from the Brecon Beacons, where they are used to make mountains for SAS training. And I can assure you that they were raised from the upper echelons of the mole community, bordering on mole royalty. Of course I would never use any animal from our beautiful county other than to walk or ride with (steady!) in the countryside.

So to summarise - We're not going to speculate on Martins personal life unless someone posts it on Twitter We eat well in Oxfordshire We dress well in Oxfordshire We only use sustainable moles of royal decent who have military service for our attire There is an active "mole liberation front" squad ready to spring into action at a moments notice (after cheese and biscuits) when the mole community are in danger
