dgbrit 258 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Re the Golf Buy the red balls then you can see where they land Ps If it really gets bad im shure the Us will come & rescue you they do it for every other country in the world or at least send you a few Billion $ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 One thing that gets me is that as we Brits shiver our timbers off, we receive postings from people residing in such lovely, sunny places as Florida and California! Am I jealous - no, I'm not the jealous type. Or just plain lazy? Because with a little bit of thought and planning I could be doing the same as them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mgread1200 141 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 That's where I am every night,but without the booze. Definately detected a hint of disdain with regard to my stopping in with a couple of bottles of the good stuff and then shock! to find out Poohbear has been knocking em back in the bar of the Black Boy with Wilfred Bramble, the secrets out!, what is it deary "A drop of Gin" or did you make it to Yate's for a glass of "Jungle Juice" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Disdain?....Drink yourself into a stupor for me mush.I don't drink at home,never have.The whole point of drinking to my mind is in company in a pleasant pub.And I haven't done that since the smoking ban. My visit to the Black Boy was 40 odd years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
