Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

...how about some Harper Valley PTA from Jeanne?

Ok, you asked for it!

Geez judging by Gilliatt's taste in music shows he must be older than me! What a real nice surprise.especially in the middle of the crowd we have on LitNet. Because I am so impressed here is one just for him.

Dizzy I am fairly certain that I am younger than you and Sounds. I’ll turn 48 this year.

Perhaps the confusion stems from the fact that I am the youngest of five all of whom were products of parents who suffered, though young at the time, through the Depression and then forced to grow up quick with the advent of WW II.

My formative years were greatly influenced by the varying generational range of music blasted throughout the house. I say blasted due to the inevitable volume wars that would ensue as one party would attempt to drown out another with their preferred music.
For example, Cream – “Crossroads” would be overpowered by Arthur Lyman – “Aphrodesia”. Or Herman’s Hermit’s versus Bob Wills.

Speaking of Arthur Lyman, you must hear this:

Marilyn is nice, but I still prefer Raquel:

I seem to remember that Joe didn't like her getting that "blow job"

That wasn't a dirty phrase; I'm sure you all know the story: Marilyn went for a picture shoot after she had married Joe Dimaggio; her public relations guy had her stand over a blower and take the picture. Joe totally lost his temper, wanted to go beat the fellow and threatened divorce!

You are so funny, you shouldnt talk like that among the youth, how the devil do you expect your daughter to grow up with language like THAT around her?

I hate to admit it; but my daughter taught me everything I know...Child prodigy/genius and all. She was reading Machiavell and Marquis de Sade at 12; I thought anything that came from the library could accompany a person to church. A few years later, when she began her religious explorations, she introduced me to the bhagavad gita and the kama sutra...I am now a pretty well informed mother and she is all grown up

For shame Sound, I thought we had something in common. I'm a bit of a rice queen myself, you can have the Brits.

We have a great deal in common Pip, I'm sure. Just look, we both knew the Bangles songs! Then theres: you're a genius and I'm ah...average, You're profound and I'm...superficial; ah well...I'm sure I'll find more. Isn't mutual admiration enough?
Ah, but now you can tell us if the wives tales about asian men are true!

The thinking woman's crumpet. That's us Brits!
Look at prince Charles for instance

I liked Charles, too before I knew what an...donkey he was. I think I blame it all on Phil, making him go off to those tough schools where they made him swim in below zero water...
Still, with the exception of the Royal family, give me a Brit every time...
I don't know, Atheist, I might widen my horizons; are all the blokes in NZ mens men like you?

[The Atheist]

Wha....? Am I in the wrong thread?

Yes, the North Walsham Gay Appreciation Society.

Parker went on holiday and rented the place out to the Young Conservatives.

Now let's get to some proper discussions of belching, building, drinking and beautiful ladies...

And tea.

It's breakfast time here, and a gentleman starts his day with a cup of freshly-brewed tea.

And while I live in NZ, I'm as English as a red rose on St George's Day, me old darling! My dad was a genuine Cockney - the one thing which never fails the "True Scotsman" test - born wivin 'a sarnd o' Bow Beww. Or, roughly translated into English, "born within the sound of Bow Bell".

Me mum was an upper-middle class lass, the eldest daughter of a wealthy merchant in North Walsham, where I was hatched myself.

I can trace my father's side back through generations of Poor House residents!

Atheist and Jocky, those poor saps!
Here's what they are greeted with each night when they stumble home from the pub:

Classic!

God, C&W music truly is the spawn of Satan.

Geez judging by Gilliatt's taste in music shows he must be older than me! What a real nice surprise. , especially in the middle of the crowd we have on LitNet. Because I am so impressed here is one just for him.

I just missed the Marilyn years - I was only 3 when she died, but yes, she was beautiful.

Fascinating subject, Marilyn. She seems to me to be one of those people whose untimely death led to their beatification. Was she any more beautiful than thousands of other women? Would we still be enthralled with her if she were another Elizabeth Taylor? (Crazy old bat)

The thinking woman's crumpet. That's us Brits!
Look at prince Charles for instance

Two in one thread!

I even laughed the second time I read it!

Anyway, there's an antidote for Prince Charles.












Camilla!

[Paulclem]

Prince Charles - and the upper classes still think they are superior. It really is their attitude, unbelievable as it seems these days. put it down to the nepotistic congregations in public schools and certain unis. They don't get the chance to think any differently.

Thanks for the links Gilliatt. I'm 46. Do you forget how old you are? It began in my forties when I realised that I was anticipating birthdays and forgetting that I hadn't had it yet. I'm sure I got the age poll wrong.

[dizzydoll]

Marilyn is nice, but I still prefer Raquel:



Gilliatt

I completely agree with you Raquel was perfect and a real lady too.

Hold up, we are not in our 60's yet!. Marilyn was more my fathers age group, same would be the case for Music she was young then too... you know with the Rat Pack days with Frank and the boyz. Wow, Marlyn had some serious power--sleeping with the President of USA and the leader of the Mafia at the same time. Not many girls would get that right today.

And Liz, she is a crazy old coot, her and whats-his-name, oh yes Richard Burton were perfect for each other. Drank like fish they did.

[Paulclem]

Richard Burton?

[dizzydoll]

Thanks Paul, it just popped into my mind so I came back before I saw your response. Ta anyway.

Yeah, that post WWII daze never quite leaves us; My father started me with a savings account when I was 5. I rebelled by gradually breaking the savings habits; but I feel oddly drawn to Rockwell paintings and Art Deco...
The funny thing about Raquel is that you can tell that picture isn't air brushed; they left all those sexy protrusions alone....

Camilla!

You really must have a talk with Parker; I hear he's opening a unisex gay bath house on the premises...where they serve tea...
You know an American can't get their serotonin up to par without Starbucks coffee...

Well, that explains that great intellect and strapping physique; It also explains why when you are waxing philosophically I can't understand you (I thought it was my lack of intellect; but it may be the cockney writing)

I remember Susan Strassberg talking about her and Marilyn going on a shopping trip; she said no one paid any mind to Marily, she was actually quite ordinary looking. She suddenly said to Susan, "do you want to see something" She did a slight turn, gave out a big smile and was suddenly surrounded by adoring people...
I don't think an early death with alot of surrounding rumors ever hurts; the only Russian royalty most Americans are aware of is Nicolas II.
I think Camilla would be alot more fun at a party than Marilyn or Elizabeth; but I'm betting on them in other parts of the house!

Prince Charles - and the upper classes still think they are superior. It really is their attitude, unbelievable as it seems these days.

It is funny isn't it. When you see the royal families manners and lifestyle; they are sort of "bumpkins" Actually, though, I think that may be more appealing to the middle class masses than if they were untouchable.

I completely agree with you Raquel was perfect and a real lady too.

I'm totally confused about the actors ages. They all look so rough so young; alittle better now that surgeons got neck lifts down. What mafia guy did marilyn sleep with? I don't know, I wouldn't want to be a piece of meat being passed from president to his brother; "Here, nice work Bobby, take Marilyn...and, ah, here...a box of donuts"

I saw Richard Burton live not too long before he died in Camelot; he was amazingly powerful!

[The Atheist]

Yes, Burton could act.

His O'Brien from the 1984 film with John Hurt is plain terrifying.

I dont know if THEY passed her around like a piece of meat, I am more inclined to believe she USED them. Clever girl, if you gonna sleep around make sure its the best of them. Here is an article:

http://www.carpenoctem.tv/cons/monroe.html

Giancana -- Chicago/Vegas mob boss who some say really ran the country. --read further-- he bedded her too. This website wont allow me to copy and paste but you can read. I didnt read the whole article so his claim might be disputed if you continue further along. Quite frankly I am not interested in celebrities of any kind, never have been.

[soundofmusic]

His O'Brien from the 1984 film with John Hurt is plain terrifying.

Incredible, I've never seen the film; I really must check it out. Particularly now that the term "Big Brother" is constantly being used. I said to my daughter the other day; where are these young kids hearing terms from a book that was mandatory reading in my day?

I dont know if THEY passed her around like a piece of meat, I am more inclined to believe she USED them.

I guess I'm just going by my experience when playing with the big boys. I always found that a momentary upper hand is fleeting, at best.

Poor Marilyn may have heard all of Jack and Bobby's secrets and got the best sex; but the widows got the sympathy, life insurance and retirement checks.
All the cleverness in the world could not keep Marilyn from unhappiness and winding up, finally, being photographed on a morgue table.

[jocky]

By the way Jocky, is the green medicine having any affect? and how are those pigeons doing?

Actually, the results have been quite spectacular, it has worked better than my wildest dreams. I have been slyly lacing Mrs Jocky's cocoa with it every night before bed-time and the effect is enough to make your hair curl, and the hoose has never been cleaner. However, there is always a downside, I tried it on my prize squab's maize, they flew out of the loft and attacked the local sparrow hawk. I am now pigeonless.

Thank you Jocky you are a Scholar and a Gentleman.

I think you may find that the general consencus would strongly disagree with you on both counts, but thanks for the sentiment.

Anyway, there's an antidote for Prince Charles.












Camilla!

Aye, quite right, she has got a face like a half chewed caramel. Dicken's description of Mrs Sparsit would not do the Duchess of Cornwall justice.

[The Atheist]

Haha!

I have a customer who is silly enough to employ an Aussie. On the odd occasion he answers the phone for his boss, I hear him saying, "There's a gentleman for you on line 1."

I have asked several times that the boss tell his staffer not to insult gentlemen that way.

Do you think you could send either some of that green medicine or Mrs Jocky my way...the dishes have stopped washing themselves at night and the cat is starting to slide on the dust (he put a hole in the desk last time)

Poor Camilla, it's the English weather that does that to a girls face.

[prendrelemick]

Actually its a thousand years of inbreeding - Lucky they came together late in in life, their offspring would've been a sight to behold.
