Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Paulclem]

Tell Mrs J that Paul's neighbor Fred is happy to do the shed cleanin so you can enjoy the party.

.

He'll be more than happy to. He's a Jamaican guy, and so will no doubt respond to a little rum offering. (Or beer for that matter given the number of cans that were in the fallout bunker). If we're not careful he might make a bid to be Parker's understudy.

You'll be pleased to know that Mrs P has decided on a nice yellow paint for the shed. I thought we could then have a few flowers painted on it too. I might then christen it the hippy shack. I don't look much like a hippy myself, but the colur scheme might keep evil spirits away. I'll post a photo when I've finished.

Luckily, with sheds, it's all about the inside.

Why do we laugh when Carol the weather girl tells us "Its chilly in the Trussochs"?

For this reason, I suspect....



And for non-Brits who have no idea what this is all about - the Wikifnarr.

Apparently, fnarr-fnarr has made it into the OED - which information has completely made my day.

Fantastic - the OED. I'm chuffed.

I wonder what our US friends would make of it.

...I wonder what our US friends would make of it.

Can't speak for the U.S. but as a neighboring Republic, I can say that I picked on on the box and flaps, but it was the bloke on the stairs that had wondering.
At first I thought he had just vented himself, hence the "fnarr" sound, but now I understand having read Mark's link.

And now it's made mine!

Priceless!

I must tell James Randi immediately. He's been failing to get "woo-woo" and it's smaller brother "woo" into the OED for 30 years, yet here's one that is just a snigger in a cartoon strip already there!

I must question the writers of OED, though:

Origin:

1980s: perhaps imitative of the sound of suppressed laughter

You don't think it has anything to do with Finbarr?

For all of you non believers check out 1:06. I think this will prove the existense of extra-terrestrial life and alien interplanetary travel beyond doubt. Look to the skies in the upper left corner of your screens and behold, and it is in broad daylight. Smug grin:

That's a great idea - party in Paul's sheds for jocky's birthday!

Once the first one's destroyed, we can move onto #2.

I think I'll set up my table in shed number 2, point the fan so it's blowing up my bloomers

By the way Atheist, that white stuff that has been falling on Wellington is called SNOW, its what we get in Britain anytime between September and June.

Ah, well, might have to point a heater at the bloomers then

It is with great regret that I have to inform you all that my birthday bash has been cancelled and you all know who is to blame. Mrs Jocky began by announcing that the shed would need to be cleaned, don't laugh Paul she meant yours as well, and that lace screens would be the order of the day. She went on to discuss pots of tea and barn cakes for Mick and Paul. Then she went on about a sherry for the nice doctor and a warm blanket for Atheist. It got worse :

" Should I hang the Kandinski on the sheddy wall for Mark, and do you think Soundo and Sugar would appreciate my home made non alcaholic soup? As for that Gilliat should I shoot and pluck Bartock as I know them Texans appreciate big birds."

See you in the morning guys.

Well, I might fancy a nice little tea party with little cakes, a bit of non alcoholic soup, while hanging with my favorite alcoholics...

Jocky, a little music for your party:

I hate the thought of putting ole Bartok down but if you feel you must, I have a 1943 Springfield that'l do the job.
There will be anough squab to feed the tennants at Paul's Ivy League Estates.

I didn't know Steve could really play that thing; I hope he'll do a bit of his King Tut act for the party.

Oh my gosh, I fell asleep and someone painted a big sunflower on my bloomers...

For this reason, I suspect....

I'm not a bloke but I'm having a cold ale. It's Abita Restoration (New Orleans). It's all right.

Good eye Jocky, you would do well in Marfa Texas.
Funny thing, I'm wearing my "Roswell Mystery Coverup" T-shirt tonight.
Keep up the Beefheart. nice

Welcome. I'll have to look into that Abita Restoration.

I tried a Toffee Apple flavoured Pear Cider the other night and it was rather nice. It's perhaps a good job I stopped going out so much to the pub when they brought out alcopops.

The Tutti-Frutti isn't up to much though. The Pear Cider itself is currently my favourite ale - Southern Comfort is my long standing favourite spirit.

That's it, I'm convinced.

Although "seagulls" springs to mind for some reason.

Don't tell anyone, but it isn't necessary to be either male or drink ale to be in here when the fire's going.

Make yourself comfortable and ask Parker for anything you need.

I like pear cider, but Southern Comfort?

Prepare yourself for some Man lessons!

Apart from the ten year old Glemorangie that is reserved for you know who. Best to start off on the right foot Shalot.

Welcome, we've got a nice little group of ladies here at the blokes table now, Shalot. I've been looking at your avatar, it sort of has an O'keefe feel about it; but when I look at it a second time, I see a cross with Humpty Dumpty on it

I hope you have your red silk boxers on too; I think those Marfa lights are actually Mrs G's "Red Hat" ladies over for a bit of tea.

That sounds quite good; I only had Southern Comfort once. I wasn't sure, from the taste, whether it was going in or coming out.

That's it, I'm convinced.

Ooh, I feel like Marilyn...
