Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[jocky]

That's funny - Mrs Paulclem always recommended a plastic bag - over the head.

Quite right, it is a well known fact that different bags have different remedies. Was my syntax correct? ...... I have this awful feeling that I have muddled something up.

She did mumble something about it being a remedy for life, but I thought she was talking about Socrates.

Seemed crystal. What's the translation of your motto?

[The Atheist]

Since the Cold Ale Thread is clearly on the up, is it not time we had a motto? Here is my humble suggestion; " Omnes relinquite, O Vos intrantes. "

Just because you have that on your doorway....



I think we can be a bit more positive than that.

What's wrong with the simple "Den of Iniquity"?

[jocky]

I think it was something along the lines of Beware the Dog. Look it up for yourself you lazy git. Teachers nowadays, I don't know what is the world coming to?

But I'm still on holiday...

" Den of Iniquity " Sounds good to me. Inspirational, almost as good as the " Mobbled Queen ". I give up I am away to my bed, door slams.

Immer Im Mist, Nur die Tiefheit Verandert Sich. or "Always in the manure - it's only the depth that varies."

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

...That rain will be gone by Monday morning GMT, and then no more than 5 mm before Friday afternoon.

"5mm...Have you been firing NATO rounds into the sky?

No, Mick, the ruddy duck's a Mandarin. I'm fattening it up, then it's destined for the old orange sauce. Parker has an excellent recipe. Best served with a decent Claret, they tell me.

Here in Rockford, I've come to learn that Ruddy Squab is the local delicacy.

I think it was something along the lines of Beware the Dog.

How about "Beware the hair of the dog"

Ahh, a kind of burnt offering. Then if it doesnt stop raining we threaten to "offer" some more.

Immer Im Mist, Nur die Tiefheit Verandert Sich. or "Always in the manure - it's only the depth that varies."

I’m sorry gentlemen, the Chianti is doing its job and therefore I am unable to restrain myself. All this talk of digested grass is welling up a nostalgic tear:

“… Cityslicker, I see you come for a truck load of our most prized commodity, but there is something I’ll share with you that is far more precious than Fire Frisbees”

The dung loader popped his head into the bar to let me know the chips were about ankle deep in my truck; “jes wunderin if I should keep shovelin in more BS”.

“Yes, yes; let’s keep piling it on.”

Annoyed at the interruption, the Terrier continued: “City slicker, are you familiar with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?...”

---------

“…Fortunately, I have never experienced the bottom of a steaming heap head first while attempting to maintain a clear perspective. I should think that one would be in want of goggles and a mask if they were to indulge themselves.
Your reference to Timbuktu made me realize that I left out roughly 200 years of detail between that glorious night on the Llano Estacado in 1541 to Salzburg Austria in 1763….”

“…to his most trusted lieutenant; Miguel Cervantes. Lt. Cervantes returned to Spain in the region of S____ and gave the music to a Franciscan monk by the name of B_____ S____. BS placed the music in the sepulcher of a famous knight who hailed from the region of La Mancha…”

I have never denied being partial to a "hair of the dog" but I have never tried to swallow it whole. This is after all the Cold Ale Thread where hard working guys are allowed to let their hair down. Cervantes understood this well or there would have been no Sancho Panza. Do not misconstrue having a joke with being unread and uneducated.

[soundofmusic]

Jesus, there are a lot of people like that in the world.

Lovely!

I must say, I've always wondered why USA built their retirement state in the middle of a tropical swamp. Helps weed out the sick, I guess.


I'll have a go, but I'm struggling with some persistent rain here right now!


Has it stopped raining yet??

No kidding,
Well, everyone here who hasn't gone to the beaches are complaining of stomach problems too...I've felt dreadful the last few days..
I think that might be the idea; get us down to the tropics and then give us all those flu shots...if one doesn't knock off the elderly population, the other will.

I can confirm we have had a change in the weather, its now COLD as well as wet.

I think I'd take your cold; it's hot and wet here.

Ahhhh - a British summer. Isn't Yorkshire wonderful!

Do you guys really get rain; when I've been in Britain, I could walk a mile in your rain and my clothes were still dry?

Don't forget the wind. Wet cold and windy. Lovely August.

Last time I was in London in August it was hot as a furnace and I had an attic room, I laid on the bed most of the day next to the one window.

No, Mick, the ruddy duck's a Mandarin. I'm fattening it up, then it's destined for the old orange sauce. Parker has an excellent recipe. Best served with a decent Claret, they tell me.

Don't you dare; that is a gorgeous duck. We don't get anything that pretty in florida.

I haven't worn a suit for years, the last one I had had to be donated to a clothing charity on account of the waist size having unaccountably shrunk so as to be unwearable.

My whole wardrobe is having that problem; the only thing that I can button is the top.

If I find the bloody bastard who stole my bike this evening...

Next time get a pink bike or bright green...bad business, my sympathies...

You will give him a five hundred pounds reward, as all that exercise was killing you.

Whoever claims that once a person rides a bike, they never forget has not meant me; I can't even keep the things up anymore, much less fit my bottom on the seat..

That's funny - Mrs Paulclem always recommended a plastic bag - over the head.

Has Mrs Clem suggested you finish all of the spring repairs first...has she taken to shopping at victorias secret.

Since the Cold Ale Thread is clearly on the up, is it not time we had a motto? Here is my humble suggestion; " Omnes relinquite, O Vos intrantes. "

I can't find the break down; please interpret...

[Emil Miller]

If I find the bloody bastard who stole my bike this evening...

I know it's no consolation, or, depending on one's political persuasion, perhaps it is, but our current Prime Minister also had his bike stolen. Now he has to go around in his Lexus; as they say, it's tough at the top.

[dafydd manton]

Sounds - you ask if we get rain. We do indeed, the only difference being that at the moment, instead of falling vertically, it comes sideways. Sometimes from two different directions.

[jocky]

The sun is shining in Scotland today......hold on......no it has just disappeared behind a muckle huge bleak black storm cloud. We should be grateful that is the first time it has been sighted up here in twenty five years. Happy days

[prendrelemick]

Now we have Den of Iniquity, what about a name for our brotherhood like, Cold Ale Club Knights, or CACK for short.

This reminds me of the time when the London borough of Southwark set up a group called Southwark Housing Investment Team, before realising that it would have to be changed to something less embarrassing.
