Best wishes Brian. I'll raise a glass of Talisker to you tonight.

Chris

PS. Talisker is currently on offer in Tesco :D

I think that I have given people the impression that I'm an alcoholic :D its not true, I can give it up easily if I want to, but at my age why bother. ;)

Thanks for the info Chris, but after 3 foreign holidays this year I have a good selection in the cupboard and the missus just might wonder what's going on if I get more.

Ron I'll be having a few reds tonight, its only a short walk to the restaurant.

Brian

Come over and I'll give ye a french treat ! ;)



Brian can't make it, I'm on the way;):D

May your life be normalized, Brian! :)

Hey Brian,

A big time Happy Birthday from all of us. Hope your day is special.

Have fun and enjoy the "Red"

says young sprog to not quite so young sprog

Happy Birthday, Brian!

Thanks for the info Chris, but after 3 foreign holidays this year I have a good selection in the cupboard and the missus just might wonder what's going on if I get more.I don't mean to burst your bubble Brian but trips to the Trafford centre don't really count as foreign holidays ;)
Chris

Happy Birthday!

Pleasant wishes Brian. Enjoy the booze. ;)

Happy Birthday Brian!

Belated happy birthday Brian,

Must be the time difference. Hope you had a nice day ... don't know how to put a smiley face :) but it's always good to hear from you.

Wayne

Happy Birthday!

Ron I'll be having a few reds tonight, its only a short walk to the restaurant.

Brian

I reckon you're off to Bistro Pierre then ( Button Street) ? :D;)


Brian can't make it, I'm on the way


Since it's your unhappy unbirthday, I would say be my guest ! ;)

Thanks a bunch everybody. Had a nice lazy day and a good meal , no not at Bistro Pierre but La Busola on Allerton Road, mind you my 8 oz fillet is not even a starter for Shane, I think he had a 24oz at the restaurant he took us to when we visited.
Ron we had a Chilean Cabinet Sauvignon, or 2. as one of my daughters and her partner came.

Ah! Button Street, The White Star, Tom the cellar man kept a great Mild, Gladys the bar maid looked after us . We drank in the back, a ring on the bell a wave to Gladys and the round was delivered. Great days of putting the world to rights. Look whats happened to it since.:D

Oh! I dunno? They are a funny lot down that end of the M62.

8 OZ! That's only enough to get started. If that's all they would have given me, I would have been mad!:D

Brian

I know what you mean about giving people a certain impression about the drink. It is well known fact that my favorite drink is the White Russian. Every year for my birthday, my friends and family all get me the same thing. A bottle of Kahlua. NOT that I am complaining, mind you.... Last year I had 5 bottles given to me.... And they were "special" bottles.... you know.... shaped in some sort of ancient Aztec god. We had fun putting them in different poses.... conga lines.... worship circles, etc. My husband was lying on the floor one night and I arranged them around him to make it look like he was being sacrificed.... lol.... But the point I guess I'm making is... there's a lot more to me than Kahlua.

(I just can't think of anything else right now.)

8 OZ! That's only enough to get started. If that's all they would have given me, I would have been mad!:D

That comment would explain why the USA is the most obese nation on the planet.

In the UK we eat in moderation - not to excess.

Pity the same can't be said for your ability to keep unsolicited opinions to yourself.
Thanks for raining on Brian's parade.

Dang, Col, you can't even allow a thread to have a little humor without taking a piss on it. Brian has met me, ask him if I'm obese.

ColSo that's why obesity is increasing in the UK:rolleyes: Last time I was in Essex I saw many grossly overweight people. So I think there is a lot of excess eating.

Well now the government has extended the credit crunch, none of us will be able to afford luxury items like food soon anyway:eek:

Just for the record Shane is a big bloke, but he is not fat never mind obese, hey he drives a big vehicle, I think I might get my car in the back. :D

There you go Col something else for you to have a moan about.

Brian

Just for the record Shane is a big bloke

Belated Best Wishes Brian, I stay clear of the watercooler nowadays but I didn't want to miss your birthday. I'll have a glass with you tonight.

Well now the government has extended the credit crunch, none of us will be able to afford luxury items like food soon anyway:eek:Good to see the government is finally honouring one of its pledges - to combat obesity:D

Sorry bit belated;

Happy Birthday

Doesn't living in Texas make you a Texan though? Bush claimed to be one:eek::D

Of course, Col cannot resist another chance to jab at the US. Good job setting him up for that one, Shane. :rolleyes:

We've saved him the trouble. The difference is, he would go into a few sentences on the ignorance of the American society and how we mutilated the English language. All of that for a typographical error.

Now he doesn't have to. :cool:

Um, OK! I guess. I thought I was going along with Brian's joke. I didn't know I was setting up Col for another chance to take a jab at the US but thanks for pointing it out to me.

Doesn't living in Texas make you a Texan though? Bush claimed to be one:eek::D

No sir! I live here but I'm not from here. Good State with good people but I'm not a Texan.

Um, OK! I guess. I thought I was going along with Brian's joke. I didn't know I was setting up Col for another chance to take a jab at the US but thanks for pointing it out to me.

Yep I was pleased that you followed it up, but Col's life seems so empty these days that he has to have a cheap shot at everything, which is why I offered up the difference in our vehicles, but he hasn't bitten on that yet.

BTW I didn't mention that I had to eat all the puds as the Americans were wimps.;)

Brian

PS If we can keep this going for another 319 days nobody need start a new thread !!

Wasn't it Mom's apple pie?:D

Well let's see, would say a German who moved to the states be German or American?

Well let's see, would say a German who moved to the states be German or American? I would class him as an ex-pat German. Any children he had in America might well be classed as Americans - not least because they would be entitled to US citizenship.

What's a pud?

Sorry - dessert.

Brian

It depends whether he/she was a sports champion or not. :D:rolleyes::p

Don't worry, I was just kidding around. :D

Or a German terrorist;)

Don't worry, I was just kidding around. :D

I thought you might have been but I don't know you very well, so I took the more of the generic response just to make sure I was covered on both sides. ;)

Hey Brian,

Hope you had a super birthday.

I'll be cheering on your reds tonight :)

Hay

Ah, I intended to start your birthday thread myself but it seems Ouma beat me to it (at 3:12 A.M. my time :eek:). Anyway, I've been away from work and computer with some family issues for the last few days so I'm sorry for the lateness of my reply. Hope you had a good one! :)
