Beer?

[NickM]

A Duvel is in my hand as I type, the Bol simmering away in expectation of imminent Spag.

And there is a Scotch Silly in the fridge awaiting my attention after dinner.

Scotch Silly

It offers a finely wooded nose hinting at hazelnut, and is therefore distinct from traditional British scotches. It has a more rounded taste letting a discreetly full-bodied bitterness come to the fore, and will naturally seduce you.

Or:

She offers a finely shaped nose, eyes hinting at hazelnut, and is therefore distinct from traditional British ladies. She has a more rounded shape letting discretely full-bodied tenderness come to the fore, and will naturally seduce you.

Which do you prefer?

Peeterman Artois has been recommended by Fossyant and Sittingduck, perhaps I could try that with Crock - ooops no - he's gone.

 

[Sittingduck]

I have a can of Peeterman by my side this very minute Speicher
You're welcome to a sip

 

[johnnyh]

well two fine bottles of Tanglefoot await my pleasure... fear not my pretties, I'm coming to free you

Just a sip?
I am wondering if it is available at my local Off-licence? (are they still called that these days? ).

Mr S Duck, which one is you in the photo of the CC Ride today?

Are you second from the left? Bit of guesswork here, the only one who appears to have a pannier?

I'm still drinking it....had a few this evening after the lego session....very nice it is, and not too strong - 4%, so you can drink a fair bit....whooo....

Nope, I'm er... 6th from the right, 2nd row (evil grimmace on face) between Pottsy and CoG. Why do I always end up pulling that face during staged photos

 

[Speicher]

* Scrutinizes enlarged photo to see if Sittingduck has any basis for his opinion of his physog *

No, definitely not an "evil grimace", might be someone who does not really like having their photo taken, and/or who is getting cold while the photo is set up, but evil grimace, no. That's a smile, not grimace.

What are you doing in here so early? At that time of day, there might be someone in Tea? or that might not be your cup of Tea?

 

[Sittingduck]

Haha, I woke early for some reason. A restless night =(
Always seem to screw up one eyeball when being snapped

Had to take off the rear wheel this morning and wander down to the LBS. WIll be going back in a minute to collect it. The guy said he would see what he could do but wasn't promising anything. Apparently the spoke that bust is on the other side of the ones he now needs to tighten. Says I might need a new wheel next time if he can manage to true this one reasonably

Anyway, you need a tea Speicher, here c[_]

 

[Sittingduck]

Oops, wrong thread. Have a beer instead!

 

[tdr1nka]

Good luck with the wheel Sittingduck!

Just been reading about your lego session. How are the knees? Not surprising that you needed a drink after all that construction work.

 

[Sittingduck]

Okay, I'm 18 quid poorer but I now have a working bike again with all spokes intact and a wheel that spins round

Anyone for a drink?!
