Cuba Libres.?? not heard of them, cocktails/lager?

well, libres is book isn't it? and cuba is a country, but it could just mean drink lager and smoke cuban cigars while shoting at books with a magnum 45

Libres is free, livres is books.

...not to mention being in different languages!

Well in the case of Cuba Libre, anyhow, at least I think it's Spanish rather than French. Stand to be corrected, as usual...

Libros is books in Spanish. I thinke libres does mean free.

So Cuba Libres would be... free Cuba? Sounds like a political anti-Communist drink to me.

I found the best alcohol ever this weekend. It's chocolate liqueor. Can't even taste the liqueor part - just the chocolate. Very very good...

Cuba Libre: 1 part rum, 3 parts cola, and a little squirt of lemon juice.

sounds a nice drink, I'll change the rum and coke measures round though and forget the lemon

The lemon is vital, and I once had a 50-50 cuba libre, which hit me liek a ton of bricks.

well maybe just a tiny squeeze then

It's just to ad a nice tang to the flavour.

well....all right then, might try one tomorrow when I go out.


question, we have not come up with a name for our country we take over as Thingites???

Does it matter? Why can't everyone just speak English?

they will, 3/4 of the world all ready do

See? No need for this bidon thing.

yes , but If we can get more Thingites, the world will have more fun and laughs, that must be a good thing!

To be honest, there are more frecnh-speaking countries in the world than there are english. I think "biduklosisme" would be in the best interest for international matters.
