Welcome back folks... pull up a chair, move the cat out of it and take a seat....

Now sit back, chill out, grab a drinking vessel and have a tipple of your choice. Share.

Ah, that's better. There's nothing like a nice cosy pub, where you can sit and socialise after a hard day's surfing.

Mine's a pint of real ale please.

Hi folks, nice to see you all.

(the answer is... a little Swarbrick grabs you by the hand firmly and says, 'mine's a pint'!)

Don - you're welcome, just don't wipe your feet on the cat.

I'm snuggled into my corner with a pint and a kitten, the former being larger than the latter; and some sewing..... bliss!

I feel a song coming on......

There's a tavern in the town where I mean to settle down
Where the grub and liquor always really swell,
Organised by Liz the Squeak since the middle of this week
It's that Little Mudcat Nouveau where I dwell

Well the first night I was there was a night beyond compare,
Every one had come to party, you could tell,
And the shag-pile on the floor just kept growing more and more
At the Little Mudcat Nouveau where I dwell.

Well the chicken on the raft was drinking pints of draught,
And the eggs were growing legs I have to tell
And the lobster thermidors were attacking lady's drawers,
At the Little Mudcat Nouveau where I dwell.

Well a new Bartender came, and Jack Daniels was his name,
He was serving all the ladies at great speed,
Some guy muttered with a snicker,'Does that mean he's a hard liquor?'
And several girls immediately agreed

Well the sheep were running wild and the cats were getting riled,
'Cos The Sages dog was running round as well,
And the queue outside the door it went on for evermore,
At the Little Mudcat Nouveau where I dwell.

I really must break myself of the habit, better go now.....

Carpet, I believe, is either shag or pile. So whatever "shag pile" might exist in this virtual space must be something else again, probably a very interesting development indeed.

Gimme a big pint glass, a bucket of ice, a bottle of Black Bush, and a six-pack of good strong Jamaican ginger beer ~ I'll mix my own drinks. And not every drink will necessarily be mixed; I'll probably start with a shot or two neat, just to get primed and ready.

Jacqui, the dogs didn't go missing--they're out in the tavern yard playing in the sprinkler. That looks good.

Sage walks out the Texas door with beer in hand, picks up a plastic lawn chair and takes it over to the edge of the spray from the sprinkler. Toes extended into the cool water attract the attention of romping dogs, who pause to offer a friendly toe-nibble and to receive a scratch behind the ear before resuming play.

Put what you like in a blended whisky, but there are only two things to put in a malt whisky, one is more whisky, and the other is pure Scottish water, about the same amount again as the whisky. You cannot possibly appreciate the taste of a decent malt if you adulterate it with any other additive, especially sugary soft drinks.

Bowmore whiskey from Islay (pronounced eye-lah by the way) is among my favorites. Its characteristics are smokey, peaty, iodiney and slightly carbolic with the tang of the salt air coming in off the Atlantic.

Is it 12 or 15 years old ?

I used to indulge in the 12 year old as it was all I could afford, and only on occasion. The price here has now gone beyond my range ($50 cdn).It can be had in Vermont for $18 U.S. and I enjoy it on my yearly trip down.

Drink it with a splash of good spring water and you'll be transported to the rugged wind-whipped shores of Scotland.

Not generally a spirit drinker myself, but el_punkoid_nouveau and I went to a tasting of bourbons and they were wonderful..we ended up buying a bottle of Fighting Cock and it's the only spirit (apart, perhaps from Navy rum) that I can drink straight...and do.....often.....

Diet anything is a no-no....added synthetic sweetners, which all diet drinks contain, are a REALLY bad idea. You wait and remember my words...in another year or two it will be all the headlines etc that sweetners are terrible for you and do all sorts of horrible damamge. If you MUST drink non-alcoholic, the best thing is either water, or water with a squeeze of lemone juice, preferably with ice.

Behold the white unicorn, striking a pose.
He treads upon rainbows and smells like a rose.
He hides out in places that nobody mentions,
Found only by those with the truest intentions.

He lives where the mermaids sit combing their locks.
He hangs out with centaurs and large purple rocs.
He hobnobs with goblins and polkadot gryphons,
With ethical lawyers and clean politicians.

But most people think he's a legend, it seems:
An empty extension of childhood dreams.
But I see a lot of this "mythical" beast.
I must see him ten times a day at the least.

(checking to see that only adults are present...)

OK, here it is. I found this in my vast ( half-vast?) collection of reference and science fiction...

Original:

The mountaineers have hairy ears,
They go without their britches,
They pop their cocks with jagged rocks,
They're hardy sons of bitches.

They screw the whores right through their drawers,
They do not care for trifles-
They hang their balls upon the walls
And shoot at them with rifles.

Much joy they reap by didling sheep
In divers nooks and ditches.
Nor give they a damn if it be a ram-
They're hardy sons of bitches.

Variations are "The Engineers have..." , "The Canoneers have...", and the sci-fi "The Rocketeers have..."

There is supposed to be another verse. Anybody know it?

The rocketeers are in a circa 1950 story by Keith Bennett. No banjos, I am afraid...

Seems a DJ was interviewing a "glamour" model and said on air that he'd leave his wife and kids for her. His wife was listening and immediately put his £15,000 Porsche up for sale on Ebay, and used the 'Buy now for 50p' option with the message 'Must sell in the next couple of hours before my husband comes home and finds his belongings out on the street'....
