ok mr mcquietpanamahat
you could read it that way!
I believe they are on the outskirts of panama now, supping champagne and contemplating an afternoon ride to the five star hotel.

Police leave in Manchester cancelled, the bears are coming.
There are 16 pumps on the bar in my pub.
One of them has a sign on it saying "THE OLD SPECKLED HEN". A proper one in plastic lettering. There's a cardboard sign written in chalk attached to the handle saying "Coming Soon".
It's been there for a while so I asked the barman, it is Thursday, "when's the Old Speckled Hen coming then?"
He said that it had been delivered but that it hadn't settled yet. Disdainfully.
And there's another non-operative pump called SPITFIRE. That has a chalk sign reading, "Up Next".
That sounds like a good boozer, a landlord who cares about his beers.
There are quite a few good ales to be sampled available nowadays. Not that I'm a connoisseur or anything. I think CAMRA is a good thing, it's probably mostly down to them.
Nice old pubs in Manchester include the Lass o' Gowrie and the Peveril of the Peak. Good names, eh? I think the first was called after a sailing ship.
As was the Prospect of Whitby.

NO
Stop press...European Cup final venues swapped!!!
EUFA Cup Rangers now play Zenit St Petersburg at Luzinski stadium Moscow
Champions League Man Utd play Chelsea at the City of Manchester Stadium
Makes sense to me.
What an excellent result that was last night. The look on Oliver Kahn's face as the last Zenit goal went in was priceless.
There's a pub round here called the Blind Fiddler. Never been in. Too noisy
meanwhile my local council has gone conservative.
and Boris is going to be the next Mayor of London. That should boost tourism a bit.
My pub thing was for Clary lads. You lot are too young and innocent for stuff like that.
Did you actually think I was telling you about my pub like Mathos tells you how much salt he puts on his soft-boiled chucky-egg.
I was using the found objects I see before me as a sort of canvas on which to place my feeble attempts at artistic impression.
I don't see things in quite the same way most people seem to see them.

Stick to John Smith's extra smooth.
You forgot The Cock and Wallet Mac.
This one is nice too:
Or the "Ye old fighting cocks":
A pub is "nice" Francis when the company and the beer are both nice. It's fixtures and fittings and its name are of no consequence.
And the company can only be nice after prolonged intimacy. You need to be able to say that if you're not in at 11 pm you're in the hospital.
My using of the word "nice" has no British connotation, as I'm not aware of such technicalities..

Not expensive enough if you ask me. Inconsiderate people forcing people into starvation just so they can motor about like Mr Toad.

£1..07.9 pence per litre which equates to £4..90.5 pence per gallon.
Keep your tanks topped up though, there could be problems next week especially.
