Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Silas Thorne]

I rarely find Olympic women attractive (those field hockey Dutch women being an exception). They're too muscle-y, it erases all curves. That chick,s stomach above just looks weird to me. The gymnasts all have these weird Hulk-like necks. Most of the track and field and the ever popular beach volleyball players look too mannish.

Really? I'm attracted to fine-boned beauties, but also to solid 'I can snap you over these smooth legs' women.

You could become an MP with suchlike peccadilloes.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

bump - We were about to fall off the front page.

D**n, your leg snapping comment just made me realize I missed the women's wrestling!
Did anyone catch that? any wardrobe malfunctions?
I was able to watch a bit of women's tarmpoline and synchronised swimming though -I'd like to be tossed in the middle of that.

Oh I can't tell you how good my Golden Hen is. That's after a few days flirting with other birds and 3 sets of tennis followed by a bike up the hill, smashing!

[prendrelemick]

I had a pint of Terrier last night, I hadn't done owt to deserve it - I hadn't been flirting with a dog or anything- but it still slpped down well.

[LitNetIsGreat]

Good man. I’ve not had much experience in the dog department, but I wish you luck – I prefer the golden birds if I can get my hands on them.

I certainly feel I deserve it though, as yesterday I was sat on Devonshire Green eating raspberries in the sun. Today I laboured in my deckchair finishing off my delightful Three Men in a Boat. Life is a bastard.

Now I am conversing with a Mr Wainwright having just finished off two small pizzas, don't worry I'm biking in the Peaks tomorrow so I'll burn it off up the hills. (And down them into Castleton for a pint of course.)

I tried a local Tetleys last week, as you asked. It tasted as I remember, but the body of it was quite flat, unlike a hand pumped version.

[prendrelemick]

NOooo a flat Tetleys that's terrible ! I had a proper one at Odsal on sunday, it was lovely, downwards bubbles and everything.

Neely. Is that the famous Mr Wainwright? Are you planning a sojourn in The Lakes?

If any Brit takes advantage of this to make a smutty gag, I shall be very, very disappointed.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

They won’t and I must say I’m proud of them for it. Oh sure, they noticed it left there on the bar like a page torn from 50 Shades of Grey stained with the tears of an old golden hen, but they only gave it a brief glance, shrugged their shoulders and immediately returned to that which is appropriate for a Brit; the discussion of ale.

I saw a perseid tonight.

A what?

I saw a Kingfisher yesterday. Fantastic blue. We have a brook near to us which runs through green belt land with trees and undergrowth. It's fantastic to see one here.

Here you go Paul..

The next few nights are peak viewing if you have clear skies.
Grab a lawn chair, blanket and flask, lay back and enjoy the show.

It did put me in mind of spawning salmon.

Thanks Gil. My knowledge has increased.

New washer came today. The door on the old one packed up, which is annoying as the engine etc has worked brilliantly for the six years we've had it. I originally ordered one from Argos, but they could have taken up to 35! days to deliver. Mrs Paulclem nearly had a fit at the prospect of going down to the brook every day and slapping the whites on the stones.

So we cancelled that one and ordered one online on Friday. It came today - free delivery. Brilliant.
