Nandy Gigglepants is thinking about purchasing a brewery on Tinternet in Scotland. I have volunteered to research the brewery and area with him and I thought with Stanley's knowledge of the islands he would be able to find Tinternet for us. Then I was struck with a thought - what about a coach trip for the lads?
Hire a coach, a few crates in the boot, up the M6 and away. Tour a couple of distilleries,drink a few pubs dry, find Tinternet, help Nandy buy the brewery, convert to producing Traycle Ale and whoopee!!
Any of you lads up for it? Nolic 
Nandy, will you buy a distillery as well as I have this idea for a spirit based on ..............ouch!!!
Stanley, can you move this to the general forum as with it being in the recipes some of the ladies might read it and think I was purposefully excluding them from a lads trip.

I can arrange a trip to the Isle of Tinternet but I have to warn you that it is an enchanted Isle. It lies SE of the Isle of Eigg and strangely enough is only visible during heavy mist and after taking a wee sensation. Various edxpeditions have been sent to find the island, the last one was led by Rear Admiral Peter Wells who vanished for three years and reappeared in the middle of the New Forest. He then de-materialised again and is now running a very good B&B on the fish quay at Tarbert on the Mull of Kintyre. (look for mole at struan on the net)
So, this scheme is fraught with danger. Suppose Andy were to materialize in Barlick? Who knows the damage this could cause to the Universe and Everything.
Mind you, if we sold the idea to the clientele at the Rood.........

Oy Oilcan.....What about us......imindoors tells everyone I'm really a bloke...just got the bumps in the right places!
You can't go organising a men only trip.
Then again girls...what about a trip to Rood and just raise the noise level there ever so slightly a lot.

Entrance requirement for Victoria Hotel :-
1)Need to swagger a lot going in.
2)must smoke roll-ups, the nastier the baccy the better.
3)must have several tattoos, visible and in other places.
4)must be able to hit spittoon from other side of room.
5)must be able to fight, swear, arm wrestle, argue, talk stupid about football, sup other peoples' ale without getting caught, etc etc.
N.B. THIS APPLIES TO THE MEN AS WELL.
And while we are at it, I am not telling you any more secrets Nolic, the bloody que for the brewery now stretches from Barlick to Tinternet !!

The ladies really ought to be allowed to go to The Isle of Tinternet .....
remember that you will need some help with the navigating.
Hold on. I am getting the map out now!

Ah, the misty serenity of the fabled Isle of T'internet, (the island formerly known as Avalon)
You won't find it with a map Lou, you have to fast for a week then cast the bones to get even a rough idea of it's location....I know where it is, but I am not allowed to say, due to the Official Secrets Act and also the fact that if I do Blabbermouth Bloodaxe will tell everybody else, and then it will no longer be secret, will it?
However, my Advanced Witchcraft course is starting shortly, I could teach a few initiates the arcane art of secret island location, enrolement fees are only £100 per session, thuribles, incense and magic wands extra......
Or a slightly easier course in Treacle Location Using Divination is also available, £50 per session, just a few places left on this one.

Old bloke goes into recently 'themed' pub and orders a pint. Sits there looking gloomy. Barman says 'what do you recon then?' Bloke replies, 'All right I suppose but I miss the old spitoons.' Barman says 'Aye, you allus used to....'
I'm all in favour of ladies going to the isle but I have an idea that these lads are being a bit mysoginistic about thie....

Stanley, Comrade, bit of serious thought here. Is the Legion still the best pint in Barlick, does it still have the best snooker table, still have the best darts,doms and still have the best atmosphere of all the drinking 'oles in the town ??? I'll lay a bet that the reason for all this - if its still the same -is the one thing they don't have is the presence of the fairer sex - other than behind the bar.
Is not that I'm opposed to women enjoying themselves its just that I believe they have their place and should stick to it.
It's a lads trip out that I'm suggesting. who's for it??? Nolic

I am not a pub man Comrade and have never been in the Legion because I've never been a member. So I'm a bad bloke to ask about the best pint. I graduated to Single Malt a long time ago and the only beer I buy is as a chaser for Boilermakers.
As for your theory about the absence of women improving the pint. a.) I don't agree with you and b) You have just made a huge tactical error. You are about to receive incoming from the Ladies and in my opinion quite right too!
Jack, who's hormones ar 100 octane at the moment is nodding.
He sends fraternal greetings but is very concerned abbout you.......

Stanley, Jack, is this an official reprimand from OFAL ? Do I have to resign as trip organising secretary? Should I wash my mouth out with cold traycle? Should I do a disappearing act for a few days? I'm somewhat surprised that there has not been more flack delivered especially from Ghyll Brow /Thornton direction. Nolic.

Comrade, you are far too highly valued to have any qualms about your place in OFAL. I thought it was obvious that I was voicing a personal opinion as there has been no Extraordinmary meeting to formulate an official reprimand. As for flak from the East, watch out for incoming, she will be on to this like a terrier after a rat!!
I notice that Gigglpants is egging you on from the safety of his bunker over the other side of the Great Dividing Range. I doubt if he would be so vociferous if he was within easy striking distance from Thornton.....
I wasn't aware that you had ever lost your manly reputation, whatever that is. I can feel my feminine side waxing strong....
Fraternal greetings from Jack.

I can say yes to 1, 3 & 5
I don't smoke I'm afraid and I've never tried the spitting but if it gets me in I'll give it a go.
I too am quite amazed that we've had no input from Stevie on this!
