Top post, milko ! ;D ;D You're one of a dying breed. If I was a Milko I would have added Sainsburys to the list (- not Peter or Paul I hasten to add -) for offering that carton-ed stuff as a rival to my trade.
And you spared our feelings by not mentioning the poor little bunny wabbit with suicidal tendencies again. :'( :'( :'(

Bad beer, today the Abbot was :P and the landlord tried to disguise it, so after complaining about it and saying give it to the dog, he said nothing! Has he no pride in his beer :o

Has he no pride in his beer :o I find that reassuring. Because if there was pride in the beer, you may have to swallow it, and swallowing your pride is not something everyone wants to do. :) Does this qualify for "snappiest reply" ???

Very clever play, Mr Wordsmith, but let's just re-visit Johnny's offering: Barely turned eighteen, yet already becoming a connosoir of fine ales.
He's right, sometimes beer does taste rank and it's down to the landlord not taking pride in keeping a good cellar. You know when they link up to a new barrel, and they have to drain away the first few pints off top as it's too watery? That really bugs me, when they haven't done it enough and I have just paid for a pint of water. I had a big argument in the White Hart Cranleigh over it once and he had to give in to me in the end as too many of his customers were in earshot.
I've had a go at brewing my own beer which turned out delicious and there really is no excuse.

Only problem is you can't make strong beer due to the law or something like that!

I think you're allowed to make it (the same with wine) but not allowed to sell it - not without a licence at any rate. My mate used to always have five vats of home brew bubbling away in his shed. Really strong stuff, you wouldn't want more than a half pint of it. He gave up following two mishaps - one consignment was stolen (it made the local newspaper), and soon after that, a particularly lively lot blew his shed up !

Well you with homebrew and a BB table, you must be happy.
If only I had a BB table :'(

Similarly, when a bar billiards website is left out-of-date and dormant. I know it can become a chore to keep maintaining it, but when you consider that most of the hard work was put in at the outset to get it up and running - should be a doddle to do, say, a fortnightly update, surely ? Not trying to single any one out in particular, but there are several examples accessible from this board through links, and it rankles, slightly. My hand is held high..... I do have an excuse though... our site is hosted by Freeola and I can only update it by logging on through a Freeola server - - - now that I've gone broadband, with Telewest, I am unable to update the site unless I pay Freeola £3 per month... The hosting only costs £15 per year. So at the moment I cant even update the site to say that its not being updated..

Well you with homebrew and a BB table, you must be happy. Yes, I continually count my blessings, although I have had it rough in the past. Haven't made any home brew for ages, can't seem to find the time. Life's too short. And there, Johnny, you have the considerable advantage over me of having your whole life (including an illustrious bar billiards career) ahead of you !

So at the moment I cant even update the site to say that its not being updated.. Wasn't particularly aiming it at you, Q (though now you come to mention it ;D) The Redhill one which was started up has been a bit of a disappointment. But - hey - there's a brand new Horsham website - perhaps you could come to an arrangement with Brian Coomber to have a link which would allow you or Ian to update - or to have a special Mid Sussex page which he could host but you could transfer stuff on to.

Got another one after last night.
33. Being stuck behind a really big geezer at an event and not being able to see - apart from every time he moves his head, move mine in the opposite direction. This particular chap last night had three younger females with him and kept bobbing about to talk with each of them. They were also passing drinks back and forth to each other and one of them (the bloke, presumably) kept letting one off. :-[ Fortunately the performance was incredible so it didn't even come close to ruining it. 8-)
Equally annoying can be if I'm at a football match and I'm seated next to someone really fat. I can remember once it was a 20-stoner and his bum cheeks were straying over on to my seat and I only had half a seat left to sit on. :'(

I spent a whole season watching Brighton whilst sitting next to a 20 stoner. I was tempted to write to the club and ask for some kind of discount as like you, I could only really use half of my seat.
Same fellow used to get a plate of chips before the game, and then whilst shouting at the team and ref he would spit them in all directions.
Luckily he didnt renew his season ticket the following season :)

Anxiety over a watch :-[
I just bought the "Best Looking" watch I can find. I tried it on and it didn't fit so I got the shop to send it off due to the free garentee with it!
I get anxious as you lot probably realise by now ::) :D and I dramatise what might happen to my watch in the next 2 weeks. I have it playing on my mind now, I suppose letting you lot know about it I now slightly feel at ease.
It bugs me I have nerves beyond beleif, if I had a bloody stick called a wand and it would make it go away I would (without feeling nervous ;))!
Also your captain sending me a dam E-mail saying "hope you have done your training routine ready for Monday!" ::) ;D
I GO OUT ALMOST TWICE A WEEK TO TRAIN FOR BB ::) :D

I hope to cycle now I have "some" money! I love cycling to the pub. Ever tried cycling ten miles to the pub with a one-piece cue ? I had to once and it's blimming difficult. Two-piece in a case not so bad, I suppose. Anyway the return journey from Partridge Green to Crawley in the pitch dark was very scary, especially around Lower Beeding where there are tall trees and strange animal noises coming from the woods on either side of the road. I was grateful to be armed with the cue then. I've even walked back from the George and Dragon to Billingshurst (ten miles once you straighten the roads out) when no b*st*rd would give me a lift. I had blisters on my feet. I wouldn't be without a car now.

Are you sure it wasn't the drink ;) I have a 2 piece cue, I think I had a topic earlier in this forum about peoples cues and I said mine was a Ronnie O'Sullivan BCE Cue. I play the pub cues to be honest, I could play with mine but with anxiety I can't leave my cue behind a bar over night! I did it once before and I couldn't sleep (I know it sounds funny but I was scared incase if someone damaged it or nicked it). I did get it back normally though ::) Again my nerves! >:(

This thread (9 pages) has yet to join football anyone (8 pages) in the Hall Of Fame. What has the poor thread got to do to gain the recognition it deserves?

It is my passion, I will not be told it is "just a game".
