Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, That book is not only slightly foxed, but has been badgered and moosed as well.

Reading Sounds' latest adventure reminded me of this.

Since no one is talking to me due to my latest inexcusable faux pas I might as well entertain the ladies.

No, mate. I haven't been talking to anyone.

All five of us went to the Dr on Tuesday, we are all crook, but I think we're recovering.

There is a viral tracheitis going around and it is not your friend.

You should be fine up there where it's too cold for them.

I have no clue who that is, but what a great character name.

You'll find a lot of agreement in that!

Although it is more often heard in this sense.

Thank you, Atheist, how goes the moving?

The move was fine, went like clockwork.

Now, if we can just shift this bloody virus...

Paul, would you be so kind as to read to us while we drink?...

Zane Grey is one of those people I love and hate.

Love his writing.

Hate his fishing. Once I catch a bigger marlin than him, I'll just love him.

(I'll discount that his monsters were caught off a rowboat with a bamboo pole, though)

That is one great song. I'm afraid all I got from the blue eyed stranger is a plug with a splitter

Hope you feel better soon. This illness is in every country; I've got something over here too.

"Glorious Albion" - Thanks, now I understand Prendrelemick's posting; Britain destroyed the mighty "Peach State" in rugby. Makes perfect sense now.

Honestly, I haven't read it myself, another from my Grandfather's library.
Great song choice.

Who can forget "The Streak"?
Say, your blue eyed, plug and splitter beau reminded of that old saying; "The postman always knocks twice". Is that how it goes?

It's the worst virus I've ever had. Not the most violent, maybe - some kinds of 'flu make you sicker - but this one just won't give up.

I've noticed an improvement over the last couple of days, but a 2-3% improvement is all.

The baby has been sick with it for 16 days now, and again, while he's getting better, it's sooo slooooooow.

We'll get there!

Hope yours doesn't turn out this bad.

[Paulclem]

Sorry to hear about the virus. 16 days is a long time for the kiddy.

So far we're doing fine here, other than a brief mild cold for me.

I never watched that movie; but sounds intriguing. Anyway, blue eyes is gone until the next phone outage and I am in the midst of helping daughter to clear out and find new homes for 20 years worth of trend shopping. Last night I was up until 4am, pulling apart a hogwarts castle that would not make all of its screams and open doors, found that Professor Snape had somehow fallen down into the wiring and was bent over in the whole mess looking very distressed and keeping the thing from closing properly. All fixed, checked ebay and the day before, this was going for 369 dollars, the following day there were so many on it that it had dropped to 40.

Poor you, poor baby! I had a virus like that several months ago, went on for 2 months...Well, I like blaming it on the government trying to get rid of us oldsters and unwanted illegal aliens The doctor told me mine was chronic sinusitis

Sorry to hear about the virus. 16 days is a long time for the kiddy.

I don't remember ever bein sick for more than 3 days when I was a child; though, it was often really bad in those days. Nowadays, it tends to hit the immune system and just half hit and half linger.

Hope all get well soon.

I'm sniffing, today I was cooking and the nose started running...then washing dishes...and the nose started running...it stops as soon as my hands are free.

I just recalled one of our sure fire home remedies. Keep a pinch of this between your cheek and gum and rub a little under your nose each night and you will soon forget about your ailments!

Great story. Sometimes it's hard letting go of those things. My son still has his version of Hogwarts castle constructed of legos, on his dresser. At least there are no wires to contend with. Dismantling shouldn't be a problem either...perhaps an "accidental" drop on the floor?

[prendrelemick]

Namibia may not be a contender in the Rugby, but that National Anthem will take alot of beating.

Meanwhile its High noon for the Scots, who will have to beat the auld enemy to progress.

Wow, hot peppers, they are certainly popular down this way. I've noticed though that all the folks run around coughing; but the cold never gets them down. I can barely handle the heat, so I do a little red pepper sprinkle in my food.
Yeah, we had stopped buying the hogwarts by the time lego was out; we have the really old stuff. I was tempted to buy the Star Wars Lego AtAT...

My brother had the Millennium Falcon and a Han Solo action figure - plus others. Later he got into trading figures on e bay.

I can finally say that we're getting better here!

We all had some sleep last night for the first time since in over a fortnight and the baby slept in his own bed all night!

You know that day when you know you're actually going to get all the way better, and not linger on forever in a haze of fever, viruses, medicines and vapours?

Today is that day!

Hope all get well soon.

The scary part is, that's how it started. I had a slight cold for a couple of days, skited about how healthy I was only having a little runny nose...


...then WHAMMO!

I sure hope you miss that!

Poor you, poor baby! I had a virus like that several months ago, went on for 2 months...Well, I like blaming it on the government trying to get rid of us oldsters and unwanted illegal aliens The doctor told me mine was chronic sinusitis

I'm hiring you as nurse next time.

That was one of the hardest parts - all of us sick as parrots, but the kids still gotta eat and they don't feed themselves.

Why the hell didn't I just have cats?

That was disappointing.

Losing to Argentina is poor work - they are so one dimensional that any original test nation should just bury them

I think we'd better get jocky on a scouting mission for rugby coaches or something. There is no good reason why Scotland should be crap at a game that's made for them. Despite the fact that they've never beaten us, they were always looked at as classier and more dangerous (and more physical) opponents than any other home union.

On the basis of losing to Argentina, I can't imagine them troubling England.

HRT. Three little letters that strike fear into the heart of any chap hoping for a quiet passage into his dotage.

[Paulclem]

A bloke I used to know went on about that, and the sudden energy. Is that why viagra's become so popular?
