Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

But think about the penguins!!! I'll bet that when you look out of your window, you don't see a single penguin!! Or a polar bear. See, that proves it!

You're right - polar bears have completely disappeared from Antarctica!

yes, its raining here and all is well with the world.

Doesn't it always?

The Polar Bears have disappeared from antartica? Gad! Quick. TELL someone - this is a tragedy. We might have to double up on penguins, or paint grizzlies white!! This is all the proof we need - WE'RE ALL DOOMED!

Somebody should do something.

In the mean time there's always the pub

[dafydd manton]

Aye, that'll do. Mine's a pint of bitter, please. (What brews have you got up there?)

Ah, but I have a cunning plan!

With the lack of polar bears, penguins will breed without limit. We're going to tie penguins together and bleach them so the look like polar bears!

This will please the tourists and tree-huggers, and will also help keep the numbers of penguins down to manageable levels.

The pub?

You're in an establishment with 342 different types of beer, 18,000 bottles of wine in the cellar and the only bottles in existence of 18 types of scotch whisky and you want to go to the pub?

Philistine!

Or do I mean Phyllis Diller?

One likes to associate with the hoi-polloi, old boy. Keeps one in touch, don't you know. Least a feller can do, eh? Buy the peasants a small one, that sort of thing. Noblesse oblige, old man, noblesse oblige. Quite.

One word - Pork scratchings, oh thats two, see what happens when you frequent The Blue Pig.

[The Atheist]

Here's one for you - being Pommies and all.

We have always watched Who Wants to be a Millionaire? - both the UK and Australian versions. (The NZ one only lasted a couple of months - bit expensive!)

Are all Poms broke?

The Aussies would never take away a small payout, always having a crack, even if they didn't know the answer. Poms, on the other hand, will take away a lousy two grand!

Surprisingly, if anyone does have a decent crack, it's usually a woman!

What the hell's going on over there? Has someone been putting bromide in the tea?

[dafydd manton]

Two grand???? That much??? Rich beyond the dreams of Cresosote! Gad, I could live for years on that, and still have enough for a packet of Pork Scratchings with Mick!

Pass me another mouldy crust and a jam-jar of brackish water.

I won $8000 on Sale of the Century some years ago! I must admit, it seemed plenty at the time, although I was gutted it wasn't more. If you know the game, I lost the second night by $6 after having spent $20 buying stuff. The woman [aaaarrrggh!!11!] who beat me utterly cleaned up and took the lot.



Impetuous, as always!

Women!! I bought myself an iPod last year, then earlier this year I bought an iPhone. The wife started whingeing about the new toys, so I bought her an iRon. She's still not talking to me.

[Hawkman]

I'd call that a result!

[dafydd manton]

Isay, I say, I say.......

I got a Jaguar for the wife.

Sounds like a good swap!

As long as it wasn't the same vintage.

They didn't make cars, then!
