Not that I am one for causing trouble Mick, but what have you got to say for yourself? I take full responsibiliy for the party invites, I am pretty sure rhere was a misprint somewhere. Did you notice every time there is trouble on this thread, Atheist is never to be seen? I stopped the elephant act years ago just after I asked the wife , what do you think ? She replied, I never really noticed and I have told you never to bother me when I am watching Coronation Street. :)

The battle was on and the gloves were off. Promises were made and broken, Gods were invoked and deals with Lucifer were done , Faustus didn't have a look in, there was much sweating and swearing. Day turned to night, thunder, lightening the net was in my hand and, would you believe it , the line broke ? It leapt about six feet in the air and I am sure it winked at me as it made its way back up river. I am at present suing the fishing tackle shop for ruining my life. Match that :)

I'm crying for you.

That's a horror story.

Birthday parties and celibacy....

Not really compatible subjects.

A REAL Blake would've even stopped to smell the roses, an perhaps write about a lamb, and separately, a lion. Regarding ale. Don't know if this compares at all. Once uponatime I drank a hefeveisen (probalby spelled wron), and least that was what it was called.

Once, t'other time, I drank a fairly local, apricot and wheat beer. It wasn't any Belgian Blue Moon..

'Nuther time I drank Guiness.

Re-read the first two sentences.
I hope I'm actually registering on-lince. Don't quite get all this yet.

Are you sure there's really an outside world to communicate with?

:D

Welcome in!

Yes, you are, you are... But if you want to talk to our leader, you will have to wait until Monday and make an appointment!

Nah, you have got it spot on. I can't wait until you tell us about Area 51 and we can share our alien abduction tales. :)

Are you sure you wouldn't rather hear about the legal brothels?

Sure. I live in a country full of them.

In fact, thanks to drink-driving laws, there are now more brothels than pubs!

on-going

So, I might be stupid, but explain the direct correlation between pubs and brothels if you don't mind. I'd bet you that the brothels here host more bright lights. So, do you stumble from one location to the next in hopes of arriving in a safe place? There are many miles between areas of hospitality in this state. Had a great brandy old-fashioned with a Grand Manier float over the top. Couldn't do business because half of them reminded of my daughters or former students.

:bday_2: Well, dear fellow, you missed your window of opportunity; Brooke and the girls, all in their lovliest birthday suits, were mourning your absence; but I gave them your best wishes and told them to come 'round should they ever suffer PTSD...you've opened a free clinic:brow:

:wave: Do you remember the old superman series where Atheist runs into a booth and comes out as a Scottsman? Well, anyway, the tights gave him a terrible wedgie and after that he lost his sexy brogue:lol:

You've just reminded me of something here, and I trust me old jocky will enjoy this as well, but the honest truth is, I used to be known almost universally as Jock!

In the days before cellphones, some of us stayed in touch via CB radio, and it was pretty normal to have a radio persona, just as we have forum personae. I used to use a fake ID and talk with a broad Scots accent, and everyone thought I was a genuine Scotsman! I even turned up in a kilt once to help the myth along.

Ah, but life was so much simpler then.

I knew it, your prolonged Freudian slip has convinced me where your true loyalties lie. After much discussion with colleagues it has been decided, by a narrow margin, to make you an Honorable member of the Crochallan Fencibles.
Arise MacAtheist and ' lang may yer lum reek ' :)

I'm touched.
