Was in a real ale pub over the weekend (conveniently nest to Lydney Town Hall where the Summers End festivel was being held, apparently they ran out of bear becuase of thirsty proggers. Twice.) with a wonderful Spitfire advert on the wall. It contained such wonderful phrases such as "Because any Fokker wont do", "Downed all over Kent, just like the Luftwaffe" and "Goering, Goering, gone".

Made me chuckle anyway.

Hehe, interesting poster Andy. Got a picture of it?

Running out of beer in a pub is horrible. I remember when I worked weekends in a bar, our manager would sometimes forget to order new beer, and we had to go to another bar near by at 2AM to fetch a new vat or two - carrying it along the street amidst the nocturnal drunks.... Pinch

I'd imagine that running out of water could be worse...

As will mine tomorrow, I suspect - spending a couple of days with friends in St Alpiniene, eastern France (very cheapo flights); free accomodation, but when was the last time you heard of real French ale???

Anyway, have a good weekend all - and keep an eye on the new Shed-er; I've marked those bottles y'know

French ale? Is that the kind with blueish mold in it? Dead (I like it in cheese, but in beer... yuck).


@Pat: Nice spotting of that bear, I missed that one. LOL

Well batter me britches with a brainless badger! If it isn't old Wurzel!

 

Now why hasn't that classic show had a DVD release.


Well butter me buttocks, treat me rough & call me Barbara, you didn't look very far did you?

The ultimate Wurzel Gummidge - ideal for saddos who think all 1970s TV programmes were good
 
Well shove me in a ditch and shower me with sheep droppings! I can't have looked very far....admitedly a while since I did....must be longer than I thought but that's great news Jim. No doubt a christmas present any shed inhabitant would love to receive.....well me anyway.
 
So was there some bad 70's shows then jim? Wink
 
I'm off fer a cup o' tea an a slice o' cake.

only a couple of days ago, Jim had been suggesting converting your savings into gold (in my case that would be a 'sheet' of gold leaf, the size of a postage stamp...Embarrassed) and yesterday someone on Radio 4 mentioned that gold prices had leapt...Shocked
 
...maybe a few shed owners had taken him at his word...Wink

Hello everyone and nice to meet you all.
 
Jared has been showing the ropes of the site the last couple of months, although I've been a reader for some time it's great to finally take an active part and get to know some fellow prog lovers. Cheers J. Big%20smile
 
I have a firm on the East Coast of England (the back of beyond really) providing Independent financial advice, we have been going for nearly 20 years so have accumulated quite a number of clients.
 
Last week the Irish government announced that they would guarantee in full any deposits held within their registered banks, unlike in the UK where the maximum is £35000.
 
Obviously, this adds to the panic and has meant I have received hundreds of calls asking whether they should switch their savings to Ireland!
 
You know how it is, the first few calls you are quite understanding and explain why they don't need to but after a couple of hours it becomes very difficult not to be unreceptive! Angry
 
Have a good day everyone.
 
Steve

^^ you're welcome, Steve...pull up a comfy chair (although I wouldn't look too closely down the back of it...Confused)
 
by all means shove some music on, from the dog eared collection of LPs in the corner...although I'd try to avoid the Pallas if I were you...it tends to bring Jim out in hives...Embarrassed
