The PUB light's ON! :D

[Paul Pless]

[seanz]

You just never know who it will attract.

G'day Paul.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Sleep good Seanz. Paul, maybe you should whip us up some bacon and eggs and I will pour the coffee. Lefty will just let us starve. Ya can tell buy lookin at me I am under fed.

[jbchicoine]

Hold the bacon and the brownies--I just need some black coffee, the kind that will stand a spoon straight up.
Good morning Bobby and Paul. G'night seanz.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I guess we are gonna have to hire some security for the Pub, somebody done stole that fine cake Sophie brought us. I don't think Chris and Kevin eat it.

Thats the kinda coffee I always make. Good morning to you Ms.JB.

[jbchicoine]

You sure do get up early, Bobby--when did you get in here? around 4 this morning?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Thats about right, I had been up a couple of hours by then.

[jbchicoine]

Wow, you must sleep all of 3 hours. Yikes!
Well, I gotta go for my brisk morning walk. I'll check back in when I get back and see what Lefty's planning for food!

Morning everyone, some jokes from the Edingburgh fringe festival, you have to be a Brit celebrity fan to understand the first, I may post them in the bilge later.

He won for the joke: "You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks."
The British King of the one-liner, Tim Vine, took the runner-up spot for the second year in a row.
Vine, who won the award two years ago, appears twice in the list of 10 jokes compiled by the TV channel, as does Francis.
The top jokes were:

• 1. Stewart Francis - "You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks."

• 2. Tim Vine - "Last night me and my girlfriend watched three DVDs back to back. Luckily I was the one facing the telly. "

• 3. Will Marsh - "I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister."

• 4. Rob Beckett - "You know you're working class when your TV is bigger than your book case."

• 5. Chris Turner - "I'm good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet… I don't know Y."

• 6. Tim Vine - "I took part in the sun tanning Olympics - I just got Bronze."

• 7. George Ryegold - "Pornography is often frowned upon, but that's only because I'm concentrating."

• 8. Stewart Francis - "I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting!"

• 9. Lou Sanders - "I waited an hour for my starter so I complained: 'It's not rocket salad."

• 10. Nish Kumar - "My mum's so pessimistic, that if there was an Olympics for pessimism… she wouldn't fancy her chances."

Morning Gareth, I guess you must be in a good mood this morning.

[Mrleft8]

Brit humor, much like Brit cuisine, is often tasteless.... But only if you're lucky....

[Mrleft8]

Computer weirdness has reached a new level this morning....
Pages that I closed last night before dinner, are reloading, and refreshing out of thin air.....

[Hwyl]

Much like flatulence

[jbchicoine]

Good morning Gareth & Douglas--so, do we have a menu prepared yet? I'm hungry!

[Mrleft8]

Ah! Good morning Breezheet! Gareth!......
I guess I am here..... Wasn't sure....
Yes, m'dear, there's a specials board going up any minute now.... Hold on.....

[Mrleft8]

Gonna be hard to stay on my diet with that flounder staring at me (okay, it can't actually stare with it's head lopped off, but the intensity of the aromas are making me drool--yes, very un-lady-like, I know). May as well have some virtual pasta while I'm at it.

fish. . . . . .pasta. . . . .

[Mrleft8]

We could also add fresh sea scallops, grilled briefly after being marinated lightly in olive oil,tarragon infused white wine vinegar, and shallots, to that pasta dish....

May as well add the scallops to my new "Mediterranean diet"!

[Mrleft8]

That flawless olive oil complexion can be yours too...... Just imagine that you're sitting in a field of golden wheat, under an ancient, spreading olive tree, with a worn, gray wooden bench covered with a white cotton cloth, blue straw flowers embroidered along the end margins......

[David G]

Any of that fishy concoction left from yesterday? It's even better on day 2!!

Meantime I'll take some of that coffee that's so stout it stirs itself. Here's hoping we all have a fun, productive day.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Just got back from the tire store, sure was easy to get rid of some more of this abundance of cash people think I have. Dang a Jar of Mezcal and a Dark truth or three.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hey DavidG. 1coffee for you. Ya play good music sir. I think tires cost more than doctors.

[Mrleft8]

Tires are more useful than doctors.
I'm off to buy cheap plastic plumbing bits, and pay ridiculous bills for services not rendered at my father's house.... And re-locate a squirrel, who's really pissed off at having to spend the night in a wire cage in the garage last night.....

Well, that sure adds a different atmosphere to The PUB! I like it.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Just helpin meself here. Maybe I should do two jars and one beer. If Glen was here he could help me on this one.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Maybe a little twang will help.

Some fresh cod dipped in an infusion of flour and water and introduced to a roiling oil. Some rhizomes laterally sliced and also deep fried, served in a bed of newspaper and drizzled with malt vinegar.

Delicious, screw your Med diet (except when one is actually beyond the Pillars of Hercules)

[David G]

That's perfect! Now all I need is a sharper spoon to eat it with <G>

Tires are definitely NOT cheap. I recently priced 4 new tires for the truck. $1,054 - 1,268 was the range for decent... not super premium... tires. Yikes! Luckily... the present ones still have some life left in 'em. Gotta starting setting aside my nickels & dimes!

I should mention the amazing fish and chip shop in Gib' which may be technically in the Med'.

Great fish and chips outside seating and Estrella Dorada beer, doesnot get much better in the culinary world.

4 in the cough cough AM, this right where I'm at........gibberish.

I'd love a Hilux......but......tyres for them cost twice as much as tyres for my wagon.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I know I am getting old, but I remember when you could get a decent vehicle for what a set of tires cost now.

[seanz]

Yeah, but the horse and harness cost extra.

[seanz]

Might be time for me to travel far far away.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Seanz, you are the man.I think this is what Chris and Kevin are thinkin about me.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

As one old gentleman told me, I may be to old to cut the mustard but I still like to play around the patch.

[seanz]

Excellent track BobbyT. I found this and I apologize to The Pub for the temperance message but this is a great band.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I love that old stuff, takes me back along time. My favorite uncle the one that was more of dad to me, he always sang them songs to when I was just a small fry.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Ok Chip, you gonna make me beg for this story or what?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

You would think The Pub man would be pourin drinks bout now.
