Evening all, bonsoir a tous. . .
Make it a large one please, Barman. What about these bloody Roma kids arriving then? And why Slough?

?150K so far sorting them out! Send 'em back to Roma; that's the only answer.
By the way. . . do Librarians come from Libraria?

Ummmm... rubschin:

Vegan and Vegetarian "food" present similar conundrums, though not about SLough, obviously.
I quite like pasties. What's the weather like in Cornwall?

Thank you. I only visit pass through Vegetaria (or vice versa) occasionally so am not up to date.
Psst!, Barman. . . I used to nip into this other place down the way from time to time but they've changed the beers, if you know what I mean, and here seems more comfortable.

It's ok Nick, I was only a latent expatriot. . . no need to hide. I'm still working on the possible escape plans though that's grumpworthy in the extreme. . .

Blimey! The Karma is really in full flood today ain't it
Has anybody got any?

You're very welcome - most of the beer is off - my pipe cleaning abilities are in question apparently. rubschin:
As is my popularity here if my karma is anything to go by? noooo:

Oh, the very worst ? have you considered a charitable donation on your death? whistle:

Bugger surrender:!! Is a prostrate prostate serious then?
Not as bad as an erect prostate I don't think.

Bugger surrender:!! Is a prostrate prostate serious then?
Not as bad as an erect prostate I don't think.
But not as complex as an erect prostrate per chance? confused:

I am good at codes, I was an intelligence office with the 1st Battalion Of the Fireside Fusiliers. For example if you write down the barmans 10 last posts, then highlight every 3 letter of every 4th word you get his secret message. good eh?
oh? do you want the message?'''''
The second coming is nigh, I am the chosen one, kneel before me.
That is the gist of it anyway, I had to translate it from the original Aramaic

;D ;D ;D ;D

?Free?, ?Prizes?, ?Bar Snacks?, ?Fancy Dress Evenings??????
What sort of establishment do you lot think I am running here? Do you see ?Registered Charity Number 62847658? on a sign outside of the door???
No. noooo:

So, what did the Romas ever do for us?
Apart from being party to a block voting scam in the Balkanvision Song contest thus keeping Scooch well down the bottom.
OK, appropriate really.

Sanitation? whistle:
-
They missed out on this place then!
-
So, what did the Romas ever do for us?
Sold us clothes pegs, taught us how to cook hedgehogs and filled our lay-bys?

By the way. . . do Librarians come from Libraria?
Librarians are born between September 24 and October 23rd .... I thought everyone knew that!
As for why Slough? The proximity to Heathrow may have something to do with it. rubschin:

Don't be daft, they'd never get their horse and caravan on an aeroplane.... Slough is the only place they can pronounce.

I have been to Slough. Dorothy and I quite liked it. We were thinking of buying a semi there, but it fell through cry:
I like these little pictures, very expressive.
I am working on her about the Salsa lessons too!
Oh, er, alien
Sorry, that came out all wrong

Yes!
I have been to Slough too.
It caused me to contemplate starting a collection of traffic lights.
But as Slough has bought them all, I didn't bother.
It is pleasing to know that Dorothy is skilled in exotic sauce making.....

My wife is big on crochet. Big on most things, but sauce is not her strength, I fear

They used to have that sign up at the begging of the run of lights into Slough from Junction 7.
Slough Experiment
Clearly, an experiment that failed dismally and should now be consigned to the dustibin.

John Betjeman (1906 - 1984)
Slough
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Mess up the mess they call a town-
A house for ninety-seven down
And once a week a half a crown
For twenty years.
And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:
And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.
But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It's not their fault that they are mad,
They've tasted Hell.
It's not their fault they do not know
The birdsong from the radio,
It's not their fault they often go
To Maidenhead
And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren't look up and see the stars
But belch instead.
In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
And paint their nails.
Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.
The cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.
