I thought that it was probably about time that I entered the bar and bade you all Hello. I am afraid that many people find me very boring, very boring indeed, but I do have moy own views on things and see no reason at all why their tediousness should prevent me from sharing them with you, since even we boring people have our plae in the world and a right to express our opinions, even in such lively company as is to be found here on occasions.
May I have a small shandy please?

Hello, I am sure you will fit in well.
The barman is a steam enthusiast as well as a collector of novelty sweet wrappers and comics. ::)

Yawn... [smite]

Well that IS interesting. I have a collection of balaclava helmets which I have been assembling for more thany thirty years. The variety of design and construction in these clothing items has seldom been noticed in the fashion world. I could bring some in and explain their unique features if you wish.

You are a pervert - I claim my ?5

I do have a similar one in my collection, however the nose hole in this one appears to be missing. I suspect it may be a second, which gives it some rarity value. It could well be worth as much as ?6. 50 on e-Bay, assuming the right buyer discovers it. Might well be worth checking the temperature there and putting the proceeds in your piggy bank for a rainy day.

You don?t have any with zips in do you? scared2:

I have some I sourced in the United States a few years back, three in all, but when they arrived they were rather stained and when I washed them they became somewhat mis-shapen, so they do not occupy pride of place, but I can bring them in to show you if you are interested. It is nice to find someone with a shared interest.

the fact that you collect balaclavas and write "my" as "moy" indicates you are Irish, therefore you ARE Martin McGuinness and I claim my ?5

I am sorry to disappoint you young man. Sometimes my fingers stumble as I type and lead to these silly misunderstandings. I am not Irish at all, as it happens, and descend from English stock which I have traced back successfuly to as early as 1436 (though only on my mother's side as of yet). Are you interested in genealogy yourself?
-
Indeed I am, with my Mongol background it is believed I am descended from Genghis Khan..
-
Shouldn't that be Mongrel ?
-
Recent research suggests that Mr Khan has more than 16 million descendants in the world today. Can you imagine what a family get together would be like? Ha ha ha.
Genghis Khan a Prolific Lover, DNA Data Implies
Hillary Mayell
for National Geographic News
February 14, 2003
Genghis Khan, the fearsome Mongolian warrior of the 13th century, may have done more than rule the largest empire in the world; according to a recently published genetic study, he may have helped populate it too.
An international group of geneticists studying Y-chromosome data have found that nearly 8 percent of the men living in the region of the former Mongol empire carry y-chromosomes that are nearly identical. That translates to 0. 5 percent of the male population in the world, or roughly 16 million descendants living today.

It's very quiet in here this morning.
Anything to do with you?
-
Well it seems to have gone very quiet here for some reason, so I suppose I should be toddling off now. Mrs Bore always has my lunch ready at 12. 30 on the dot (as she always jokes - her name is Dorothy, you see).
I will try to pop in later for another chat.

Oh please do... noooo:

Well, I was having such unaccustomed fun here that I rushed back after my lunch. Mrs Bore was quite startled to see me so animated. But she is now busy with her crochet project and will be having a nap from 1. 00 until 2. 20, so she won't mind my being here.
Does anyone want a natter?

Does anyone want a natter?
The correct spelling is nutter, and not just now thanks.
-
No, I checked and I typed it correctly the first time, or arer you being rude to me. Perhaps it is a joke?

You should give us the benefit of your undoubted knowledge on this thread. (http://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/index.php?topic=33.0)

I am afraid Mrs Bore doesn't like flying, and won't permit me to fly either, so my knowledge of aviation is sorely limited. My newphew does maths problems as a hobby. Do you want me to ask him?
-
No, I checked and I typed it correctly the first time, or arer you being rude to me. Perhaps it is a joke?
Perish the thought that I should do either.
Have you spotted the Mornington Crescent thread yet?

No. Why?

I think he would make an an excellent guest speaker on one of our fun nights.

Thank you very much. I enjoy giving speeches on interesting subjects, and even have my own microphone. I normally devote no more than an hour to my chosen topic and can also show slides.
Some of my more successful forays include:
The History of the Balaclava Helmet (illustrated)
My family tree (1436-2007)
An amusing tale of the wool trade
Goat breeding in Spain (1730-1775)
Tugboats of the Solent (with sound effects)

Yes indeed ? I think we should book him immediately?
How does ?1 and as many beer mats as you can carry sound? ;)
-
I do not require any payment. Sharing my knowledge is reward enough. I forgot to mention that I also have in my repertoire a rather amusing lecture on the subject of "Goings on in the Choir stalls", but it isn't rude.

Hello Bore.
How interesting! noooo:
I myself am embarking on a small, but worthwhile, collection of little tanks. Nick is still chasing his acorn. He will undoubtedly begin an amusing collection if he ever manages to catch it. tunble:

Tanks or tank tops?
-
Actual tanks!
What is Mrs Bore crocheting?

Birmingham City Centre on a Saturday Afternoon I should think. whip:

She has attempted balaclavas, but the concept does not lend itself to crochet. She makes ventialted underwear for our family, for the most part, and some novelty items for the chapel bazaars.
Why?
-
I was just being nosey. Being as I have recently undertaken crochet myself. redface: But we will say no more about that. whistle:
-
Mrs Bore would love to talk to you about that, and show you some of her underwear items (she proudly knits her own gussets). I may bring her with me next time I come here.
-
My knowledge of gussets is limited to knitting socks.
Tell Mrs Bore she is more than welcome to attend.

See ya chaps! scared2:

You may like to know that Mrs S teaches a crochet class under the guise of ................... wait for it ......................

Hey Ho >>>>>> Wherever the "Grant" money is being spent you will find her

Mrs Bore sources her own materials too
She finds these people very friendly.
