Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Paulclem]

That's another reason to hate spammers - they've destroyed the reputation of one Britain's finest sandwich fillings!

Please - it's only palatable fried in batter as a fritter.

I disliked spam as a kid - or "luncheon meat" as they called it then.

Luncheon meat - thats a laugh.

"Cucumber sandwich or luncheon meat?" Would you pass the plate please Parker.

Have you done the spam song on here? Apologies if I'm repeating myself, as I surely would if I had spam.

They were delicious, with a splash of mayo on Warburtons sliced white.

and enough left in the tin to fry up for tomorrow, -food heaven.

[The Atheist]

.. "luncheon meat" ...

My kids have gone right off it since I told them what parts of the animals were used in making it.

[soundofmusic]

Parker isn't, and has never been, married.

Why do you think he has that permanent smile?

Oddly, Mrs Atheist and I don't have those problems. She's learnt to leave the seat up and never move the beer.

Damn.

I was hoping women would understand that. I'm setting up a brassiere fitting service next week.

Are you quite sure that Mrs Atheist hasn't taken a leave of abstinance and left our dear Jocky in drag...I've never met a women yet who leaves the seat up
You don't want to do a bra fitting; the old heffers grab your ...and squeeze them

Shows how much notice I take of the gossip - I didn't even know they'd split up.

Rickman would be no problem. I could take him out with my left hand.

I don't know, Rickman seems quite a bit taller and stouter than Kenneth...Not to mention that his proper English accent would intimidate most fellows

I'd settle for being a prince among pigs.

All mens men have these habits, that we other halves think are adorable before we become the other half...

Be honest Sounds, I reckon you ladies take us on as a challenge, (Its part of the attraction) and spend the ensuing years try to change us into a Romantic Ideal. (Or Cliff Richards, in my wife's case)

By the way I have in my sarnies today.

I think it's fair to say we both play at that game; it's just that women know what they're planning from the onset. The guys don't quite realize it until a new secretary comes to the office or they watch an episode of Americas top model
What are sarnies; please don't tell me it's sardines

Here, Here. I wasn't aware that spam was that bad in the old days. Recently my daughter bought some; it was like eating hard lard

We train 'em well down here.

Old shielas? No way.

I'm setting a strict age limit of 30 as a maximum. After that, it's more plastic surgery than fitting.

Sandwiches.

An absolute gold plated classic!

All the tasty parts I'd say

Your daughter bought some? unusual to see such sophistication in the younger generation.

I'm back from rambling and camping around New Mexico and what would a trip be through New Mexico if you don't stop by Roswell?
(For the sake of the unabducted out there, look up "The Roswell Incident)

Here are a couple of items from the "UFO Museum and Research Center" in Roswell:

Full scale diorama of the the famed alien autopsy.
The alien prop on the gurney was used in the "Showtime" movie; "Roswell":




and lastly, "The Basic Alien Types", subtitled "The Usual Suspects". I had no idea that Magnus Pedi were aso aliens! - Geez, you get the best of both worlds!

Don't you love how aliens look just like we expect them to?

Sandwiches.

Impressive,
So, some sexy young thing will do your fitting then.
Are all women in Australia and NZ called Shielas, or is it a subtype?
Thank you, I like that word...sarnie...

Yeah, she taught me everything I know about beans, barley, and meat substitutes. She is a great cook; but even her talents could not cover up the spam...

That's just really scary. Reminds me of an old teacher I had that claimed that in the "old days" they used to smother ugly babies in the delivery room...that one picture looks like an ugly baby that made it through the screening process.

Monty Python, the great historian of the 20th century...

First the rugby. Even though this Nation is shaking its collective fist at the referee, I thank God England didn't win in Paris. They finished higher up the table than they deserved anyway. Scotland, who have played some very good stuff in parts, got a win at last.

In fact, instead of relying on points scored (ie, who the ref favours) they should let me decide who wins each match based on style and endevour. Then the table would be as follows:-

France
Scotland
Italy
Ireland
Wales
England.

I think that is much more satisfactory.


You see examples of all the basic alien types round here, I thought it was due to inbreeding.

[The Atheist]

Just a generic term for women.

That's a great idea!

It could be marked like the ski-jump; you start with the score and add or subtract points for being creative or boring.

I see this playing into the hands of France, Australia, Ireland, Scotland and very much against NZ, RSA, England and Argentina. And imagine how good the Pacific Island teams would be!

We're also seeing all the alien types in the states; I thought it was because we keep thrusting everyone into the same soup pot (or melting pot, as we call it here)

Ah - you risk rugby becoming like ballet with shoulder pads. They might even re-design the kit and put it to music. Imagine what it would do to the Hakka - a new routine every campaign!

A good balance is needed - flair and style, but some good old fashioned thumping.

Otherwise players like myself in my younger days - whose main skill was running into people, by which I managed to forge a niche as left back for my mate's pub footbal side too - would be redundant.

The sad part is, they already wear padding. As far as I can tell, it's actually still against the rules of rugby, but since only Paddy O'Brien has ever read them all, they get away with it.

Helmets can't be too far away.

I'd bring back rucking, if it were my choice.

Nothing like a good going over with 8 pairs of size 10s to sort out the backs from the ballet dancers.

Otherwise players like myself in my younger days - whose main skill was running into people, by which I managed to forge a niche as left back for my mate's pub footbal side too - would be redundant.

Funny, that's exactly where I used to play in social soccer as well!

[prendrelemick]

It needs thinking about this.

start with 100 points each.

you lose points for pointless kicking, spoiling scrums, spray-on tans and hair gel.

you gain points for prop's sidesteps (thats straight on over the opposition), taking on the winger on the outside, passing the ball, rubbing the tanned, hair gelled scrum half's head in the mud.

I too appeared as left back for my school on a couple of occasions.
