I like this thread as we can chat about anything , doesn’t have to be PCa related. Sometimes I just need a ramble… It’s such a good idea. We still need a name for the Pub.

I will, of course keep my old thread up to date …. Once I have my news from later..

My little brother and I were fostered when I was 13 and we moved to Southend and started going to the Friday evening games. Was always a full house. Now a Tottenham supporter for my sins.

I think I would have been called a Mod or Casual as I didn’t have the shaved head but more of the later Paul Weller look. Smarter dress than pure skinhead although my girlfriend was a proper skinhead with shaved hair at the back.
Southend was great then , lots of greasers around but I never got involved in any aggro. I used to wear my red socks and Loakes to school and the head would check my socks everyday after assembly and send me home to change to black socks. So I always took spares so I didn’t have to go home …

Thanks guys for your good wishes 👍 I’ll keep you posted .

Phil

Well if you’d asked me a couple of weeks ago I’d have said some dark beer or stout. But I went out with my mates to a microbrewery and had a couple of pints of Black Bess Stout and promptly came over all weird. Said to my mates I don’t feel too good phone my wife and passed out on the table . I came round and they’d phoned an ambulance as well. But I decided to go home with the missus but I couldn’t walk so they carried me to her car. I had proper gone out as I’d pooed and wet myself. Was fine the next day 🤷‍♂️…. Wasn’t drunk at all
Very embarrassed to phone my mates the next day to apologise… but they were really nice.

We've arranged a lunch next time with coffee … 🤣🤣 🤷‍♂️

So, dark beers are out, especially unknown ones in a little brewery…

So I would probably have a scotch or Irish Whisky… 😁

I had 4 Glenmorange in the Hotel on Jersey last week and it was really nice… bloody expensive but nice…

Cheers, bottoms up ,

Hey Phil.

I wouldn't rule out a Mickey Finn..

We're off to Jersey for our anniversary in April, looking forward to it. (Not dodgy beer of course)

Have a great time . If you’ve not been and need any tips on where to eat etc let me know. I think we’ve been everywhere by now 🤦‍♀️. One tip I’ll say is book early for eating out as everyone eats out over there and they get booked up early.

Who would do that to an old git 🤣 There were only about 6 people in the whole place as well …

Maybe the barman thought he’d have a laugh 😳.

Could have been dodgy beer though although I’d only had 1 1/2 pints….

Not been to Jersey before, flew over it a few times though. We've booked an airbnb in St Helier.

That's a good tip about booking restaurants.

Cheers.

Thanks Chris

I might have a glass of coke - full fat version, not of that Zero stuff. After that, I would be persuading the bar staff to get the kettle out from under the counter. I always have a handful of teabags in my bag just in case of crisis. I wouldn't worry too much though as I will spend a lot of time outside; I hope we are going to have a decent smoking area at the Proctologist's Finger?

Just to change the subject, I really thought I had managed to avoid moobs during my six months on Bical. Clearly M&S think otherwise. I got the email from them today:

"Dear Chris,
We hope that you are keeping well.

It has been 6 months since we last saw you for your bra fit, did you know that it is recommended to have a bra fit every 6-12 months?

Breast sizes can change regularly throughout the year, and we would love to invite you back into store or via our online service (where you don’t even have to leave your home) to check that your bra is still right for you. We can also show you some of our amazing new collection.

Please click the link below and book your appointment now: "😡

That's the last time I'm doing the online order for the wife.

As for this virtual pub name, how about The Wonky Walnut?

“Lyn has frequently posted that she is teetotal”

That’s two of us then! Packed it in nearly 3 years ago having previously drunk for England! (Literally - I learned to drink in the army 🤦‍♂️). It’s Guinness 0 for me.

Very clever Chris. It's that or proctologists finger?

What about going a bit up market with Adenocarcinoma Arms.

Good lad Ian. I packed in for 6 years, not even wine in cooking, then thought to hell with it and started again. That Guinness zero is brill though.
