Ah a bar thats renowned for it's pint of Guinness Gummy, sadly not too many of them left today.
Perfection, the real thing has to be in a glass glass and served with love and care at the correct temperature by a qualified bar person, expect to wait 10 minutes for it to settle properly, it'll have a solid body on it and a half inch creamy head, your ideal surroundings would be bare wooden seats and tables in an old Dublin public house with no modern gadgets in sight, no TV either just conversation and craic.
My only wish when I die is that there is an old Dublin pub in heaven, and old Arthur Guinness himself serves me a pint of his wonderful creation, God bless you Arthur me auld son. .

The ABV would have to be upped, see more units, less trips to the bog, simples.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

This might be a job fo Mr Pug - when did the BAL change from 0.08 to 0.5

two standard drinks can just reach 0.05 whilst it would 4 standard drinks to hit 0.08% regular drinkers may confuse the figures!! hic I'll have a bourbon [double]

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Yes,that! [/\]
When I walk into a tufty-boy saloon wearing [only] my spurs and leather chaps, the LAST thing on my mind is "I wonder which one of these gorillas likes sugary chocolate". No;I tend to be thinking "This is the LAST time I lose a bet to that bastard!" ...coz losing bets ALWAYS seems to involve getting dressed like a Nancy and attracting attention! ...or is that just my inner whimsical...

Oh - and I know that it became 0.08 in Oz in 1991.
But in England it's 350 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath, measured using the brAC constant, whereas in Scotland it's 220 per litre. Dunno why, other than I'm totes gorgeous & don't drink,so they Scots are well jealous of moi,so need to get 'drammed' to ease the pain of being 2nd-best,or even completely ignored,when girlies are drooling and salivating over me,as per.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I was wondering when the word ‘Hello’ first came into use as a greeting, my guess is it was in the 1800’s well before the telephone was invented, not important but I was just curious.
Hello is also an internationally used word when answering the phone, Bell and Edison had a huge row over the proper way to answer the phone, Bell wanted to use “Ahoy” and Edison wanted to use “Hello” we all know who won that argument. The Beatles wrote a song about it, even threw in a footballer for good measure “Eusebio and I say goodbye, hello hello, I don’t know why you say hello…”
There are too many conflicting answers on google there days, you can’t trust anyone anymore, I prefer to ask here or make up me own version. I used to love marshmallows but when I discovered what gelatin consists of I’ll never eat eat another one. (see bottom of post, but if you like marshmallow I’ve advise against reading it)

Origin of the Marshmallow, according to Jem

An ancient race of people lived in the marches and never washed, the Lord was very angry with them for being unclean, cleanliness is next to Godliness and all that, so he turned them into sugar, water, and gelatin, whipped them all together and that’s why they are called Marsh Smellos.



“Gelatin is a yellowish, odorless, and nearly tasteless substance that is made by prolonged boiling of skin, cartilage, and bones from animals. It's made primarily from the stuff meat industries have left over — we're talking about pork skins, horns, and cattle bones”

Oh my Gawd!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

oh yea I hear them constantly wail
we come here to scribble
to leisurely scribble not listen to all of your tales!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

What's the matter Gummy, there comes a time when the "Toy Area" in the Waiting Room loses it's appeal, or wasn't appealing in the first place, that's the way it goes.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Hey spittie you play with your toys and I'll play with mine "the pen is mightier than the sword" that's why I scribble leisurely and watch all the slow deaths in the waiting room!

talking of which the old railways [steam era] waiting rooms were a thing to behold and sometimes you got a fire! - is that where you met Mrs Spittie ; by the fire?
