As I understand it Mike, they don't start serving booze until 9:00 am, which is still a bit early for me... My mate Picko is usually in there before 9:00 with his gang. They call it their 'coffee club'. They have a coffee and a natter and then leave when the beer starts flowing at 9:00. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,419 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I wonder why drinking beer in the morning is frowned on. Are early doors drinkers more likely to be objectionable or more aggresive than night time drinkers? Like Col I've 'tut tutted' at them but can think of no logical reason why. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,160 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 When i drink its only in the evening............if i drank in the morning i'd be out of it for the rest of the day.......these early morning drinkers are on the whole a nice bunch of chaps and it suits their life-style.......retired and mostly single......good luck to em.....whatever makes you happy i say..........

Willow wilson 894 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Gorgeous pictures Loppy. Very peaceful looking round there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Thanks WW. We are very fortunate to live in a semi rural location. It is nice and quiet apart from the odd Coyote or whippoorwill in the warmer days. Don't know what we will do as we age. We need a car to get anywhere. No buses, or taxis. Quite a lot of yard work. One day at a time I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 You've got to be joking! . I know I lived in Canada but I wasn't staying out there a minute longer than necessary. It is a damp cold out there that doesn't go round you. It goes through you. Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 There is a Wells Fargo bank in town but I've never seen a stagecoach. Granny can tote a shotgun though so maybe you should stay arahnd Bulwell, Ben. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not too many badlands around here, Ben. You've got to go up to the South Dakota area for those. I've got some home movie of it somewhere. Strange country, dry, dusty, Rattlesnakes etc.. Even the odd missile silo. I got to go in one of those. Now out of service. The park service keeps it up. Scary, hard to imagine being thirty odd feet underground in a bunker for days at a time, knowing you are a prime target. Just waiting for a phone call with the right codes to turn the key. Gave you the creeps just to be down there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
