Do they do scholarships out your way? Even the queens son would be on one over here....what is the other Oxford?
They do scholarships yes.
As for the other Oxford - I meant that Oxford has two Universities - The famous posh Oxford, and the other one which the lad will hopefully be going to.
The Curmudgeon's Arms - good name. Will it be an internet pub? You need to offer a little more these days if it is to survive. It could be a Surf and Slurp establishment.

Last Sunday I was sitting on the sofa with my feet on the coffee table looking forward to watching the Charity Shield. Suddenly Mrs Jocky burst into the living room.... " Jocky get the car oot of the garage we are going shopping and remember the Bank card. " Oh no, I wiped the sweat off my forehead and did as ordered. Our first stop was the hat shop. Mrs J, why do you need four hats? " Don't be so bloody stupid, they will go with the four new outfits and four pairs of shoes I need. "
Good on your son Paul, Cambridge could put him on the wrong direction, if you get my drift.Originally Posted by Paulclem
No, I was thinking more on the lines of Suppers and Strippers

We'll see...
Old farmer Mick can turn a rhyme,
If I had my way he would be doing time.
I have been Moderated, that's for sure,
but self preservation has made me pure.
Now I am back on the straight and narrow,
Mrs Jocky is pissed can I borrow your barrow?
Alliteration in its finest form.
Well, that's one!
The trick is finding ones good enough to actually do a job.
Sounds just right!
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

Daffyd, I am not having a go as you are clearly a brylcream boy, and not even the possibilty of you being WELSH disturbs me, but the use of the term abeyance, points me in the direction of you being a historian. It is not a commonly used word. Enlighten me.

Count me in. Millionth what?
No, Abeyance was just one of those pompous words I learned on my Russian course, at that point in my life when I was smothered with Brylcreem. I can't remember what the heck the Russki word was, now, but then since I've forgotten most of it, that's no surprise. As for a historian, I wrote a piece yesterday for one of the mags that is misguided enough to print my stuff, which was a Roman soldier's letter home to his Mum. Does that count?
Personally, I feel that The Curmudgeons Arms is the perfect name. Having done a few books on pub signs, I shall have to put on my Thinking Head and come up with something. The "After" picture on the front page of my website is probably appropriate - as well as handsome!!!!

As it happens, My buisness model is based on putting things in abeyance and leaving them there.
Would that be the new, corrugated iron abeyance, with electric light?

The electric light was going in later, but I never got round to it.
Sounds like your business practices and mine are based on the same model!

You can borrow my narrow barrow
