Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[jocky]

By the way what do you think of this version of Take 5? I think it's great. I heard of it on the world service.

What are you doing up at this time ? I really enjoyed that and it goes to show that there is more than one Eric Clapton. So let us keep the mood and enjoy:

We are a happy family.

I don't think I have ever seen such an impressive fan...I wonder if we can get granny to guest at our next litnet poetry reading contest.

Nooooo! I was enjoying myself until you brought up the Xmas play. A certain person who I will not mention by name, but he comes from the Lone Star State enjoys gettin me during the Yuletide Season. Rule Brittania, Brittania rules the waves, Er:

The onset of age and the onset of insomnia - and a bout of the scratches. It makes me very restless, and doesn't go down well with Mrs P.

Just an absolutely glorious spring day here.

About to take the day off and go to the park with the little bloke and the RC helicopter.

So how was the day off?
Flying RC planes was a hobby of mine.

mwah..ha..ha
You can rest assured I have been collecting material over these past few fortnights.
Speaking of, I suppose it isn't too soon for you sage blokes to begin the beguine...sorry, I suddenly thought of Artie Shaw...to begin offering up those "thread bare rags" we call poetry.

Own up Paul, Mrs. P cast you out of her chambers and into the shed.

[The Atheist]

Mrs Jocky and I had a day out watching the puffins, it was a glorious day as we walked on the clifftop path and the strangest thought crossed my mind. One little accidental shove and I could be single again, just in time I remembered, who would wash my socks and butter my scones in the morning ?

That thought has occurred to every married man at least 100 times.

Bye the way Atheist, remember and give the wee man a shot of the model helicopter remote.

Not a chance!

I let him "drive" into the garage the other day, sitting on my knee.

The next day, I asked if he wanted to go out in the car, so mum and he come out... he proceeds to get in the driver's seat and screamed "NO! DRIVE!" every time we suggested he get into the baby seat.

Never giving him the controls of anything until he's at least 25 or so.

Well, I've only had southern comfort once and it never even made it to my stomach, just about half way down it exploded and came back...

... just a booze mixing contest.

Best kind.

So how was the day off?
Flying RC planes was a hobby of mine.

Yeah, I flown a few of them, but a chopper is a whole new ball game.

It's only a cheap model, so it has a little left-hand torque that is easy enough to control, but the combination of holding the torque and flying forwards is very, very complicated.

Getting there, though!

God old Burl.

Yes....again. I prefer it on the club couch. There are aids to sleepfulness nearby - supplied by the ever hospitable Parker. Though i do suspect that whoever had had him in theri bed had also give him the boot. Hence his 3.30 sympathy shot that he supplied me with.

[prendrelemick]

^Crickey Paul, It's a good job double entendres are passe.


Can't sleep? Try this.

By the way:-

I was asked to set up a password to recieve my Email - It had to have at least 8 characters, so I chose Snow White and the seven dwarves.

The above was chosen as the best joke of this year's Edinburgh Festival.

Last year's joke of the Festival was Tim Vine...

"I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what - never again."



Though I might have gone for Jack Whitehall...

"I bought one of those anti-bullying wristbands when they first came out. I say 'bought', I actually stole it off a short, fat ginger kid."

In that case I hope you will include this. There is no references to that rubbish poem ' The Lake Isle of Innisfree ' and no mention at all of childish references to fat gingers:

It would have went down a treat at the Edinburgh Festival. Not with The Scots you understand as none of us can afford the entrance fee.

If you can't sleep, you can try,
The curmudgeon's lullaby,
Thats gin and orange and whisky rye,
Soon golden slumbers close your eye.

And golden dreams can then begin,
Of you and Steffi, and her twin?
And Parker comes and tucks you in,
And wipes the gin from off your chin,

[Paulclem]

Superb.

I've always liked that. He wrote it in the Seventies, when he was in Kilburn and the High Roads, and it was recorded by - believe it or not - Max Wall.

While we're doing touchingly funny songs by Mr Dury...probably got help from their mum..

[Paulclem]

I always liked Clever Trevor

I know its not one of his biting social commentries, but "Hit Me With Your Rythm stick" has such powerful associations for me of my first serious girlfriend, that- 35 years later- whenever I hear the opening bars, I swear I can smell her fragrance as clearly as if she had just walked into the room.


Panache and tobbacco smoke.

Haha.
Thanks for the Dury introduction.
Some new material I can use to annoy Mrs. G and G Jr.

Very nice. That one is going into the burlap bag.
