smiley - cheerssmiley - taThanks,

Here is a drinking song

Drink with me, pints of ale,smiley - ale
as I go and share out the snails.
Sip it slowly and hum a tune,
to the words of Rabbie Burns,
and have some of my delicious prunes.
And I will go and look at the full moon, smiley - fullmoon
as I drink my glass of red wine.smiley - redwine

smiley - cheerssmiley - taThanks, I wrote to them, to be sung to Drink to me only with thine eyes.smiley - laughsmiley - rofl

Please can I have a pint of Cottage Norman's Conquest real smiley - ale. It is a dark ale which is richer and a higher strength than real ales. Norman's Conquest has a rich browny red colour and has a sweet digestive chocolate aroma, with a light wine like fruitiness. When you sip it, you can taste the rich dark roasted malt flavour. It goes well with all types of food, especially with cheese to finish off a meal. (7% alcohol

I used to be a connoisseur of real ales smiley - alesmiley - ale, but since moving from Northumberland, I have lost touch with all the various new ales smiley - alesmiley - ale, so I looked up the 10 best ones and choose this one. It also reminds me of the name of a pub in Harold Hill near Romford.smiley - biggrin

I think a Beef Wellington, with haricot vert, cauliflower, carrots, and butter beans in a garlicky-herby butter sauce.smiley - biggrin

Finishing off with a fruit cobble and anglais custard.smiley - biggrin

Hi Katrina (may I?),

Thank you for the ample supply of Pure Scottish Malt whiskies smiley - stiffdrinksmiley - stiffdrink , you're most kind.

The "Summer fruit cobblers" sure taste nice. I haven't tried quince or bramble - my favourite, while in your beautiful country, use to be gooseberries - specially the jam.

Colombo is in jubilant mood today !!! The government military has claimed an overwhelming victory over the LTTE rebels - but, many lives were lost. Hopefully we'll have everlasting peace.

I have seen the IV-VI on the televison and on video but I have seen Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones at the cinema. I have got IV-VI on video and Phantom Menace on DVD.

I used to play tennis and I have played cricket once, and badminton a few times. I am not as fit as I used to me, as I have got problems with my joints with chronic arthritc pain.

Here is a large chunk of Irish smiley - coffee flavoured smiley - choc

A glass of smiley - strawberry flavoured smiley - cider + smiley - bubbly for me .... because you play the three games I love. smiley - biggrin

Had to give up tennis because, in the tropics clay courts are open to the elements. Every time it rains the courts cannot be used for weeks.

I still play cricket and badminton. Just returned from a three hour badminton session this evening.

Another glass of smiley - strawberry flavoured smiley - cider ? smiley - biggrin

I noticed arthritis is very common in your country. Over here, in the tropics, it is quite a rare ailment.

I started to get arthritis about 9 years ago after having a tetanus injection. I will be 46 years of age, this year.

Thanks for the smiley - strawberry flavoured smiley - cider.smiley - biggrin

The pleasure is mine, please have another one.smiley - smiley

Was it a leather ball? Getting hit while taking a run is common and happens to the best.

Does one have to give up sports because of arthritis? Shame. You're still a young lady, so, must be going to the gym? Some form of exercise is imperative.

I am going to try out a smiley - strawberry flavoured smiley - cider can I get one for you too, madame? smiley - biggrin
