Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[The Atheist]

Just don't start me on "reality" tv.

I do, however, find it amusing that "reality" tv is a lot less real than Coro St.

There are only two things I watch on tv - sport and horse racing.

Oh yeah.

When did vomit become entertainment? It can't all be down to Mr Creosote.

Is the next logical step showing someone defecating in the name of entertainment?

[dafydd manton]

Don't hold your breath! On two counts!

[soundofmusic]

nah, nah, thatsh the cat....jusht trippt over the shtupid ****zzzzzzzzzzz

Ah, you have a dribbler Mine just trips stares at me while I take a bubble bath and trips me in the kitchen

Superb


I was once on a rugby trip to Lancashire when the coach passed a car on the inside lane with the bloke who played George Roper in The Liver birds and George and Mildred. We had a really good coach driver - Barry - who kept us neck and neck with the poor fellow for the next 5 minutes. I bet he'd never seen so many hairy grins pressed up against the bus bus window before.

Did he think you were trying to run him off the road That looks like a great show; I'm going to look it up on youtube

Where are all my drinking buddies???

*rolls her eyes and sighs dramatically*

Why must it always come down to "size"?Yes, sure... It is all for art.

Another Rugby trip story: (as told to me) My mate and his team went to see the grand final at Old Trafford.( Wigan vs Bradford) They used their usual coach and driver, an old bus with no "facilities", instead a bucket with a lid was provided. By the time they reached Old Trafford it was brim-full, due to all the beer passing through.

After the game, as they were leaving the car park a Wigan fan came up and started banging on the door and shouting abuse. The scrum half, showing his quick thinking and leadership qualities, shouted "O'pen t' door Barry!" to the driver and threw the entire contents of the bucket straight in his face, just as he opened his mouth open to hurl more abuse.

Another humiliating defeat for Wigan there I think.

What a surprise that must have been

Yes you're right - it was Man About the House which, at the back end of the saucy seventies, didn't deliver on any front. We only had 3 channnels back then.

We had a similar version in America, 3's Company; I'm back to 4 channels with my digital converter; most of my favorite shows are on 2 of them.

That was it!


I agree that the program was crap - it wasn't even funny, as I recall it, but that little blonde in it was sensational.

I don't think she quite compares to Suzanne Somers of 3's company; that blonde bimbo attitude, pig tails, and cleavage really worked for her

Stlukes - School must be out. You are having too much fun!

Not for me - I'd have stomped over Suzanne in hob-nailed boots to get at Sally Thomsett. I think Suzanne Somers always had just a smidgen too much American plastic about her.

It was really funny. My mate - Squinny - so called at school because he had a squint and came late and so was bullied a bit, (though all that changed when he grew to 6:3 and became rather huge - we all called him Andy then) - noticed George Roper sitting in the passenger seat of a car we were passing. He shouted out, "That's George Roper!" whereupon most of the bus shouted "**** ***!".

Then another lad saw him too and there was a stampede to one side of the bus. (I'm surprised we didn't veer onto the hard shoulder with all that meat shifting around). There ensued a jeering, pointing and shouting out of the window - ( the coach trips could be a bit tedious) - topped off with a mass roll down of trousers and hairy grins pressed up against the windows.

I'm sure Barry - (our coach driver was called Barry too Mick - either it's the coach driver's official name, or it was the same Barry) - had to go over the windows with a cloth when he got back to his coaching house or where-ever he lived.

I didn't like the show - even when I'd seen George Roper on the M62 Motorway.

Very likely. In fact, I've heard Bill Cosby is planning on making a comeback - new sitcom staged entirely in a public washroom called "Trapp's last Krapp".

[The Atheist]

Well, that'd go with how I feel about Cosby. I've just never found him at all funny, and I do like some American comedians, top of which was the godfather of Teh US Funneh, the late and much-lamented George Carlin.

And most importantly welcome along to The Blokes' Club!

Just leave us a note of what tipple tickles your fancy and I'm sure Parker laid in a stock before he went on holiday. The first one's on the house!

[dafydd manton]

Can I have mine retrospectively? If so, I'll have a pint of cheap French cooking brandy, please.

That is a difficult one - and my apologies for not offering - because Parker only buys premium brands.

We have loads of VSOP; even the chef uses it. No cheap stuff, I'm afraid.

We've had to train jocky to drink alcohol from bottles with labels on, so I reckon you'll manage!

[dafydd manton]

Given what the "P" stands for within the circles in which I move, (and recycling is good for the planet), there should be no problem.

How dark?

Black rum? Guinness?

[Taugenichts]

Any absinthe in stock?

[prendrelemick]

Not for me - I'd have stomped over Suzanne in hob-nailed boots to get at Sally Thomsett. I think Suzanne Somers always had just a smidgen too much American plastic about her.

When "little" Sally Thomsett was filming The Railway Children in these parts she was a 20 year old playing a 12 year old. (Heavy strapping was involved)Her night-time antics in the pubs and clubs of Leeds have become the stuff of legend. Jenny Agguter on the other hand was as sweet and demure as her screen persona, I'm sorry to report.

How about some blood?

I am sure we have got many different types from all over the world available on the Forum.
