(LOL)<br /><br />"but hard to put your finger on why!"<br /><br />I'd say putting the finger on those 3 couples "dancing" might just do the trick. <br /><br />"Dave highlights the pub, probably the best moment of his life"<br /><br />Second best... if he ever gets to highlight in pink. (heh)<br /><br />"stroking the baize and looking confused"<br /><br />I've think you've put your 'finger' on it with this one. :)<br /><br />"we were chatting with a slightly drunken man with far too many vowels in his name to be able to pronounce. "<br /><br />That explains the Ellan Vannin at the top. Thought that sounded Welsh. For some reason I get the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight mixed up. (blush)<br /><br />"though she insisted I was a 'scratcher' and not a 'ticker'. If you tick beers off, you are a ticker. If you tick pubs off, you are a scratcher."<br /><br />Angela could be correct. Just watched a movie called "Beertickers: Beyond the Ale" and that lot was all about ticking off beers rather than pubs. :)<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2178937/?ref_=nv_sr_2<br /><br />Some cracking good pubs there though. And some wonderful companions to boot. :)<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PS - "making it bed & breakfast etc"<br /><br />Perhaps missing a or into a before bed?<br />Russtovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-8623312027448509712018-02-14T22:30:45.925+00:002018-02-14T22:30:45.925+00:00Yes, you certainly would have become 'one of t...Yes, you certainly would have become 'one of them' had you gone on a dancing day.
