Last One to Post Wins

[Dark Knight]

sorry folks but the new batcave or money pit as it has now been renamed, took all out time, so we moved our cruise to Jan, next year

hard life innit, 2 weeks All inclusive in a deluxe cabin in the Caribbean

[Mervyn and Trish]

Hi all. Heard talk of cake and popped in to win for a bit. And Batty having to slum it too. Life's a bitch sometimes.

[Dark Knight]

afternoon poster boy

[Mervyn and Trish]

Afternoon? Almost evening surely? Or at least past the yardarm I hope. If I can't get cake a G&T will suffice.

[The Tinker]

Did you mention g & t Mervyn - about time someone in here bought me a drink - the rest of them are sooo
tight

[Silver_Shiney]

I had a G&T once. Tasted like soap. My mate wasn't impressed when I grabbed his pint and downed it to take the taste away.

I've got a nice bottle of shiraz to finish off tonight.

[Dark Knight]

Tonic water taste like bath water

[The Tinker]

preferable to drinking ale or beer that tastes like it comes from the drains.

Lets all leg it to Shineys before he finishes his bottle = bet i can beat you there DK

[Dark Knight]

don't drink wine...poncy grape juice

[The Tinker]

i'm sure shiney has an old bottle of brown ale lurking in his cupboard

Sorry, Tinks, there was only one glass left and SWMBO bagged half of it. I'm having to top up with a Bacardi & Coke

[Silver_Shiney]

fine - all the more for me!

btw - if you do have the misfortune to meet me in person, what are you drinking?

[The Tinker]

Now that's a girly drink

a good pint of bitter or cider if sunny

In this heat? Not a fan of brown ale, actually, but did have to buy some Bombardier the other day to slake the thirst. It didn't last long...... (hic)

You'd like The Apple, down on Welsh Back (an old barge) and The Cider Press on Gloucester Road in the Bishopston area, both in Bristol. The latter does a mean toffee apple cider...

A firkin of Doombar hits the spot for me

What a vast quantity of geriatric shoe-repair craftsmen. I was brunged up on B&C (having cut my teeth on vodka and lime)

Tinks,
You must be thinking of the infamous Watney's Red Barrel, of which Fred Wedlock used to say "Watney's going down tastes like scrumpy coming up". Never having experienced either, I will defer to his judgement on this matter.

Red Barrel was my ale of choice in 74-76. Then I went to Oman for 9 months and positively lusted after a pint of Red Barrel. When I got back, I went to the NAAFI bar and ordered a pint. It was awful. I assumed it was a bad barrel. A couple of weeks later, I went back and had another one. Just as bad. Obviously my tastes had changed. Is it still available?

[Not so ancient mariner]

Good morning all. Two days to go. Watney's Red Barrel as Alan used to know it, is well & truly defunct - but I believe there is a strong (by UK standards) Belgian beer which now uses the name.

[Silver_Shiney]

Good morning to you, sir, on this lovely cool morning. 'tis very overcast here - maybe we'll get some wet bits.... our flower beds are cracking open, the water butts are dry, so any rain will be more than welcome.

Incidentally, you're not winning.....

[Not so ancient mariner]

Wrong again - but don't panic, you'll get your chance (Batty, Tink, et al permitting) after Wednesday (at least for the 2 weeks I'm away)

[HK phooey]

Hello you old fogeys, your leader has returned. I had to train a team of Siberian huskies for next year's big race but I'm back now.

Oi! you are not talking to your dogs now!!


......and wouldn't you have been better off training foxhounds?

[HK phooey]

I know that notso, you lot are nowhere near as well trained. Have you got your budgie smugglers packed yet?
