Ah, you've just explained something for me. Obviously, all Indian people are aspiring Shakespearean actors. Well, all the ones in NZ, anyway.Quote:

Mrs Jocky is being difficult again. It all began late on Sunday evening as I walked unsteadily up our front path belting out the Halleluja Chorus from Handel's Messiah. There she was silhouetted in the front doorway in what I can only describe as a warlike
pose.
"Where the hell have you been?"
I have been at Evensong.
"Evensong! You have never seen the inside of a church since the day we got married, you even refused to have our kids Christened."
Aye, but this was different they had a free communion wine tasting.
"If I find out you have been down at the Curmudgeons with that bunch of wasters from the Cold Ale Thread it will be the sofa for you for the forseeable future."
Let me past darling I think I am going to throw up.

Thanks, Jocky!
Parker runs the Cold Ale Club where we all retire of an evening, or when our Missuses get tired of us and order us out of the house. He can procure you every liquid whim.Quote:

Whiskey is far too cheap and trifling for someone of my stately sophistication. I'll have Merlot. ;)Quote:

This was Parker in his previous job. He can be formidable, even though he looks a bit rough - as though he's had a few.
Right I am going to my shakkie doon but I will leave our fella Americanos with this:

Now I know politicking is frowned upon in our Shangri La but I am getting slightly concerned about my pension, and the state of the world economy. How do I lobby the Whitehouse? :

Crickey Jocky what are you doing up at this hour? I hope you're not sleeping on the couch again.

If only :)
Apparently my achilles heel is an inability to open curtains correctly.
How to balance a budget. Mrs Jocky show me the books:
" And what books would that might be?"
Now I know what's going on. Earnest T just told me there was a coup at the coffee shop. Turns out they were serving instant coffee:Quote:

Last night the synaptic currents revealed yet another scene from Parker’s past…
Before the days when Parker had settled in West Midlands spraying Rolls Royce with his Thompson, he was a bar tender in the small scratch of town nestled in the cleavage of the Grand Teet…oops make that Tetons of Wyoming.
Here’s how Parker appeared during those dark ages at the Bloke’s Bar. You’ll notice in my vision that he is called “Will” (Billy Parker), but now he goes by Parker in an effort to forget that part of his past.
Parker makes his appearance at 1:05 to about 4:50 (for those who live an abridged life)

Hey sodbuster…yeah I’m talking to you Paul. Did you catch the potato picker line?

If you've seen the Thunderbirds film using real people, you'll know what I mean.
I think a round of drinks on jocky's bill about now should see Mrs J in apoplexy-land.
So go ahead, be creative - the more expensive, the merrier!
Has anyone seen my mojo?
Wow! I cant believe I only discovered about this thread now, geez I have missed out.
Anyways will be popping by the club on occasion
Yeah, it's down in Louisiana in a mojo hand.Quote:

Meanwhile, I'm sorry but I have to mention the cricket, (again) Stuart Broad had 5 wickets for 0 runs including a hattrick and a dropped catch in 16 balls at one stage yesterday!
Thats quite good, I should add, (for our international members.)
But India are a champion team and still have the upper hand, claiming a wicket late last night. I hope the rumours of them smearing vaseline on their hotspots is untrue!
I had one of those once but put it in cold storage. You're welcome to that one if you like.Quote:

Cricket sounds like magic. I wish I could get British TV here.
Yeah - also Fruit Salads. And sherbet dips. And Jamboree Bags. And limeade. And Wanted Posters Bubble Gum.Quote:

It's more like valium. Cricket manages to be simultaneously boring and dangerous - a combination you wouldn't have thought possible in a sport.Quote:

or as Athiest said a game played by Gentlemen and Australians.
I certainly do - and 4 for a penny. They came in a wierd and forever unrepeatable flavour - something between cherry and raspberry, but smooth.Quote:

Nopt sure about that but did you get Scanlen's gum? It was usually dried out and virtually worthless to get a bubble, but it contained collector swap cards, which was its real appeal
Anyway there's a show over here about Collecting and someone had held on not to the cards but the wrapper - it fetched a grand at auction
