All is good; just real life throwing up roadblocks to my posting predilections. :)Russtovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-24133031705065985142019-05-15T04:49:51.756+01:002019-05-15T04:49:51.756+01:00"Reassuringly stately and modest"
Quite..."Reassuringly stately and modest"<br /><br />Quite the understatement!<br /><br />"wishing they'd turn down the likes of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and AC/DC to a more palatable volume on a Friday evening is probably a sign I'm showing my age! "<br /><br />Naw. Wishing is fine. If it's you put words to thoughts that you show your age (oh and having your pants hiked up to your nipples). :)<br /><br />"I should probably sneer it was over hopped and not John Smith's Smooth enough, but I secretly liked it. "<br /><br />Look Si, there's age, and then there's 'age'. Quieter music means you're over 40; disliking hops (or preferring John Smith's Smooth) doesn't happen till you're over 65. ;)<br /><br />"Never has Stealers Wheels turned up to 11 been so welcoming. "<br /><br />Blimey. From turn it down to turn it up. Now that's a sign of old age! (LOL)<br /><br />"I left feeling even older than when I'd come in!"<br /><br />You're not familiar with the concept of 'time' I take it (i.e. we get older every bleedin' minute!).<br /><br />"Now, I got the most shamefully short bus journey of my BRAPA life,"<br /><br />No comment on that but there's no descriptions of the photos so I had to use this bit as a reference. Ahem... I'm guessing the zebra photo is a subtle way to add Z to LGBTQ. :)<br /><br />"(a pub ticker of the utmost repute),"<br /><br />The adjectives you used would beg to differ. <br /><br />"The remnants of a cake were on the table. "<br /><br />Or possibly shortbread from Duncan's visit.<br /><br />"one that'll live long in the memory."<br /><br />Definitely sounds a corker.<br /><br />"'stick yer namby pamby Dark Fruits nonsense where sun don't shine'."<br /><br />Dark Fruits? Is that a Jamaican LGBT? (i'll get my hat)<br /><br />"but still very much a 'pub' pub (if that makes any sense!)"<br /><br />Yep. We all know what you mean.<br /><br />"Made the Plum Porter even sweeter. "<br /><br />Over here they're called Cheetohs; and I quite like a bag with my beer in the evening (even better is the fact they don't sell well on the lunch truck so I don't feel bad in depriving my wife of a possible sale). :)<br /><br />"I was a decent guy, and left his dog in my care whilst he went to the bogs."<br /><br />You're over 40 so you look more reliable now. (guffaw!)<br /><br />"My good mood inevitably couldn't last, for back in Chesterfield station, this happened "<br /><br />Do they usually give such 'too much info' descriptions for cancellations?<br /><br />"Join me for tales of that one tomorrow, it is seriously epic, and I don't even mean the pubs. You have been warned."<br /><br />LOL. I saw the photo when I came to your main page. Looking forward to it! :)<br /><br />CheersRusstovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-89446278250541071352019-05-14T20:57:32.213+01:002019-05-14T20:57:32.213+01:00Think you'll enjoy this one Russ.
