Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[dafydd manton]

Rum, whisky, whiskey, anything will do...

[prendrelemick]

Well thats the silage done. The lambs weaned. The cattle brought down from t'moor.

If I keep catching up at this rate it'll be Christmas in November.

[jocky]

Got any of The Laphroaig in there, Jocky? I only ask to act as bodyguard, you understand............

Your hired dafyyd, Mrs Jocky has been known to throw a wobbly when the bottle of Islay nectar is produced.

Jocky, you’re my first stop.


.

I will recognise you by your Roswell teashirt.

[dafydd manton]

Thanks, Jocky. Should I bring a bottle of Arran?

[The Atheist]

Oh, it seems like I've come at a bad time. Any spots left on that ark?

Always room for another couple. I'll just throw the unicorns off - stupid damn animals cost a fortune in vet's fees. Always goring each other while drinking.

Thank you for the kind offer Atheist but I think I will pass on the Hokonui Moonshine.

Haha! You've heard about it then!

I managed to secure Elissa for safe passage to higher ground.

That's what we need - a return to more peaceful, slower travel.

Have you ever been on a square-rigger? The motion, sound and feel is utterly unlike any other form of transport.

There you go!

Now all I need to do is figure how to stop it raining here...

Each to his own dafydd, I was getting worried as I had never heard of it but apparently it is a new single malt. I think perhaps you should bring the Barra as we may have to dump a few intoxicated members overboard. Now I am retiring upstairs, illuminated by my candle, to partake of my Glenmorangie. I will hear from you tomorrow but not too early. Like your style.

[dafydd manton]

Arran is a lovely light, slightly peaty malt, bit like an Islay, but not so matured. Very nice, too. Don't forget to blow out the candle, that Glenmorangie burns nicely!

Yiou remember the black mass you did for Mick so he could get the silage done? Well the rain's got to go somewhere.

I sounds as though it could be a jolly trip on the ocean blue - particularly with Jocky's single malts. I have no experience whatsoever, but I'm willing. Presumably the experience will be useful for The Atheist Ark too.

Good ! It's gone somewhere else again, because about an hour after I posted, the clouds blew away and it's not only fine, but absurdly warm for the time of year - presently touching 20 deg.

Boats and booze go together in a way cars can't. You cannot be a responsible drinking driver, but if you wait until the anchor's dropped - or if you're off watch on a ship - you can responsibly whacked.

Sounds better and better!

Unfortunately not, only walked around them. I bet it is a thrill.
The largest sailboat I’ve actually sailed on was a Columbia 38. I was invited to join the crew on a two day regatta, which included sailing through the night. It was a great experience.
Other than that I’ve sailed several times on a friends Lightning.

As you can see from the brochure, the Columbia has plenty of room to stow your beverage of choice.

Yes, I spent a couple of days on one many moons ago.

Magic.

Probably wasn't 150 years or so ago!

Hey Gents, Sorry it's been so long; old women and love are a nightmarish pair.... :

Yep.

If that isn't a blast from the past; and a perfect description of my lif

This is now becoming my monthly drive thru/by shooting off of the mouth. I'd tell you what I was referring to but that would give you an unfair advantage wouldn't it? I'll just use quotes in making reference. The reading this month was much more interesting than previous times when my virus detector found a trojan horse on-site.

Someone on site older than Jocky? God forbid.

No politics allowed, but the host (reference our parasitic nature) here in the states sells adds for even the senatorial race in NV. Adieu.

I think, at the moment, I am the ancient on sight. Do they have voting in Nevada...I thought everything there was decided by a coin toss; since gaming came to Florida, everything is decided by perscription drugs

How's about this chap in the US burning The Koran. Is this a Freedom of Speech too Far?

I think the media should have to answer for any problems from this. Not only is it potentially putting lives at risk, but it's polarising opinion - straight into the arms of the terrorists.

In the UK we have inciting racial or religious hatred laws. Is there nothing similar in the US?

Seems like alot of folks down my way admire the crazy bugger; I personally don't like a middle aged, confused coot with a small church in the middle of nowhere claiming he is representing my belief system...

Look Soundo, they are playing our song.

I love that they are playing the song; but I'm confused as to what level to set the lights and if I should move the furniture for dancing...

I read a bit of the constitution recently; it's really vague...kind of like, "Don't ask, don't tell vague...

When I first received a Gideon (looked up the spelling, haha) from a random stranger in a suit outside my high school as a teenager. I, of course, rushed home to eagerly spend my evening reading the Holy Book, only to discover it only contained the New Testament, what a gyp. I think it's a marketing ploy to try and get you to go out and buy the complete thing.

My favorite religious group is still the Raelians, with their cloning hoaxes and weird UFO village cult headquarters. They're off their rocker, but it's hard to dislike a group that just wants to hang out talking about aliens and having orgies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%ABlism

Where did you say that group was; I knew there was at least one church group that I could fit in with....the only problem I have with orgies is that it's kind of equal rights; even the ugly people get a girl

Hang on a second.

Are you trying to tell us something here? If so, spill, woman!

[jocky]

Thank goodness Soundos back. Now we have someone to swab the decks, pour the refreshments and repel all boarders. I guess that will be me that gets the black spot. Ha har Jim lad.

Black spot?

Ball, surely?
