No.I hate that sort of drivel and I have never heard of that dump with the snooty sounding name.
Benny never made fun of anybody.He was a very serious person.He never stereotyped.He told me that himself.I have a signed pic of him on my sitting room wall surrounded by his Angels.He wrote it all himself.We like German people now.We have let bygones be bygones.It had nothing to do with us.I always think of Germans as being a bit like Marlene.
Is that politically correct?
Yes it is. Marlene was probably a sort of ambassador for Germany in a time where the negative stigma around Germany
was worldwide felt. She became successful and famous
despite her nationality.
So, do you like peanut butter?
It's okay spread on nice bread with some jam on top and helped down with a swig of tea or coffee.But a tablespoonful,neat,stuck to the roof of my mouth I should imagine would be simply awful.It's bad enough when you get a bit of the nutty side stuck between your teeth after the butter's gone.And the jam.The persistent residue.
Do you find that with pea-nut butter?
(Dippy tubby time)See you drying.
Yes. I actually never liked or ate peanut butter until just recently
when I found a very crunchy brand, that's yet creamy enough
to not get stucked on the roof of your mouth. I just eat
a teaspoon full here and there, as I don't like it on bread or
with jam. So just straight and in a small dosage.
Your pub is open 7 days a week?
Yes.Why,who-ever heard of anything else.They can stay open 24 hrs now if they pay for a licence to do that.(It's not quite a tautology).Our's just opens from 3am to approx 4pm.CJT.I only go for the last round-up.Sometimes it is hard to remember that the barmaids are at the end of a long shift.
Do you think it's fair for single mums to have to be put through such a trial?
*See you later.
In general it is probably very difficult, I don't know. If you
ask me personally, I have chosen to be single (again) and
afterwards chose to be a mother (through adoption). So
for me it is not a trial, I consider myself fortunate.
Are the barmaids treating you nicely?
They do.They do indeed.No matter how crowded it gets,and it does some nights,I never have to wait long to get my orders satisfied.If I happen to be having a conversation with a lady customer they sometimes interrupt me to ask if I'm "alright".That is quite a rare event actually as with most of the lady customers around here there is no possibility of having a conversation.One has either to be prepared to listen to a long harangue about something or other,I can't remember any examples off the top of my head,or deny oneself the pleasure of their company.
Obviously this leaves my innocence more or less intact.
Would you like me to have my innocence more or less intact.
Well, I wouldn't have any benefit or disadvantage of
your innocense, so I leave this question for yourself.
You might miss out on some dates this way though, if
you're not inclined or willing to listen to the ladies.
Aren't you interested?
I'm not really saying that I am not interested.I suppose I am when you get right down to it.But the boredom involved in taking an interest does have to be placed on the other side of the balance and when it is there is at best a dull thud and at worst a loud and sudden crash.My interest is sometimes forced upwards at such an alarming speed that it asymptotes with conditions found in orbital velocity
environments.
So you may well be right and I do miss out on some dates but they are not dates I mind much missing out on.I can live with my shame.
Does that make any sense?
Yes it does, however, the pub scene is not always an
intellectual gathering ground and most people visit a pub to
end their day in a subtle manner, not being interested
in discussing Flaubert. A pub is a haven for small talk
for both genders, and listening skills are sometimes
necessary to get involved.
It seems your just interested in a few people?
"..a view people" is not an expression I am familiar with.It might mean people who are in view face to face.In that case I plead my innocence.I am interested in cyber people as well.But not all that many because it is very difficult to convey a view which crosses deep fearsome oceans that comes close to a view on the pub bar if all other circumstances are satisfactory.
It is safer too statistically speaking.
Are there exceptions?
Haha, I meant "few" instead of "view" I have to concentrate better.
I don't know if there are exceptions for you. I am genuinely
interested in people and like to understand what makes
them tick.
Don't you?
Yes.
Does anyone else ever play this game? We used to. And ask more unusual and answerable questions.
Oh, I'm sorry Clary.
I guess I will abstain from now on....
Oh well-back to the drawing board.
Anybody got any functioning divining rods?
All you need is a hazel twig, according to the Arthur Ransome books, forked.
(you don't need to desist, CJ, just start a private thread!)
Which if any children's books do you remember with affection?
I don't do private threads.
In case anybody has any illusions every post I did on this thread,unless I made a mistake,ended in a question which I tried to make sure was answerable by any threader.Any suggestion that CJ and myself were doing anything other than playing the questions game is a figment of the imagination of those suggesting it.CJ and I played a very nice game which I thouroughly enjoyed and I hope she did and anyone else could have entered in the game had they so chose.
After that brief interlude,for which my apologies,we may hopefully return to behaving like civilised adults.
Anybody got any functioning divining rods?
I answered that question, and asked another.. nothing but civilised adults hereabouts!
