Tut tut tut, that's no way to talk now is it. Morals? law abiding? Moi? - the only reason I know about the law of a cyclist is that I was pulled over on leaving the pub after a 15 mile hike up a bloody hill and threatened with the breathalyser. But the copper didn't understand that whilst I was leaving a Pub I couldn't have managed an alcoholic drink due to dehydration....If he had cautioned me the night before however I'd had several drinks...BUT even so they cannot breathalyse you....so the law statement was to iterate that even if you were drunk you have to have caused some form of offence to even get a cuation.....sorry you got so wound up.....

....and being a Yorkshire Lass, I can say "snugs" still exist in the more rural areas of Yorkshire.......but not down south where my local got rid of the pool room in favor of a family room....well I ask you can you see little kids in there after 9pm?

MountainPro

never wind up a scotsman...we have no sense of humour....just pool cues with nails in them.

Originally from Renfrew myself.....married a Scot... divorced the Scot now with a Scottish Boyfriend.....and you are quite right "he" doesn't have a sense of humour

MountainPro

well you are from good stock then....Renfrew is just up the road from where i live in Ayrshire..

i wasnt jokign about having no sense of humour...ask anyone in here...

i got the impression you were one of these righteous do-gooders lecturing on the right and wrongs of drinking and cycling....its good to know you have 'followed the wobbly line' on a cycling journey from pub to home..

Me a do-gooder? you're having a Larf!!
Wobbly lines are my fave......long ago 1986 I went in search & bought my first M bike, A Marin Pallisades Trail,
but when mysef and the ex ScotHubcap went to the pub, uphill to get to....I first wenton my ancient Raleigh 3 gear to avoid "pinging" it on the very fast wobbly downhill return. Never did fall off, think the bike had a homing device. Country lanes, wobbly bikes u get the picture.

...then I decided to take the Marin....only to be bombarded on the downhill journey by a pair of Barn Owls....big buggers...I was OK but the ex hit the kerb and that was the end of his precious racer.......he, like you, had no sense of humour, especially on the subject of his racer being bent its sunny here....nice day for the top down

MountainPro

.....shucks, i just realised you meant the car, didnt you...?

roasting here too...pity i am stuck at work..

mind you, i get heat stroke very easily when cycling in strong sunshine...

you know scotland...40C one minute, thunderstorms and hail the next..pretty extreme (on average)..

SND,

This family room stuff is all a bit out of hand over here to. It seems these days the women elbow me out of the way at the bar, while the new age husbands are huddled some distance away talking about nappy rash and such.

I thought it was an Australian phenominon.

Kind regards,

My favorite beer goes to Chimay. It is rather expensive here in Louisiana though. It sells for almost $8 a pint.

Chang,

Never tasted it. It sounds like liquid gold!

Kind regards

no no no no no no no NNNOOO!

a snug has nothing to do with families...it is populated with sleepy, pissed up pensioners well beyond anything in the family department...you are not allowed in if you are under 70 years old. Many from this board are frequent visitors.

MP,

We have bowls clubs over here to cater for the more mature citizens' who still appreciate a a social drink and a little of the other.

So in the real world snugs Do the blokes talk about incontinance nappy rash then?

It seems the old ducks hang around the bars at bowls clubs over here looking for the younger ones, say those under about 68 years of age.

Interesting phenominon this. Bearing in mind that I'm shortly to retire, myself.

Kind regards,
