Hello all. . . . Allow myself to introduce. . . . . . myself (yes I know, not my joke). . . I was recommended the pub by our esteemed barman and just wanted to say hello, I'm sure I'll get more involved as topics catch my fancy. Anyhoo, I'm an english / cypriot guy (more english than cypriot, truth be told) who has lived all over the world, currently residing in Cy and er. . . . well guess thats about it. Barkeep, a cold beer please?

Welcome happy088

Thanks all. . . . . as for the first round. . . *checks wallet* I'll just step outside to the cashpoint. . . (and Berek, yes yes I know these introductory threads are tedious, but it is general forum etiquette. . . . )

Oh, and welcome. ;)

Welcome.
Two things to remember:-
1. Barman usually talks a load of bollox :-)
2. Make mine a pint of Young's.
Cheers!

I guess my implication that I might not return from the cash point wasn't so implicit. . . . rubschin: edit: damn emoticon won't work. . .

BW: What big stiens you have! ;)
Ah sod it *coughs up for a round on him* Barkeep. . . . keep em coming until we're all suitably sozzled. . .

Thank-you redface:
Excellent. I'll have a white wine please barkeep!

You're welcome. I only comment because I had a close enounter with three stiens of local ale from the hofbrau house in Munich as a wee lad of 17. Cue the 'rents dragging me home one one on each arm, doing my best impression of a boneless cat. (possible that only cat owners will get the reference)
Edit: You're = you are, your = your, I think the beer is getting to me already, but something tells me this forum is not the right one for simple grammer mistakes ;)

Bollox to grammar. happy088

D'oh! (Simpsons quotes are acceptable right?) Got there before me and I even ignored the "you may want to revise your post" message. Oh well. . . . one more to go. . .

Come on hobx you can do it!
Suppose you spend a post telling us what on earth hobox is, means, stands for. I can't figure it out. But then as you will come to know, I am somewhat thick. redface:

Welcome hobx happy088
Mine's one of those you see to the left ;) Ice, and some water with it please BM!

Doesn't really stand for anything, I've used it for many years now and originally it was a variation of Hobbes (as in Calvin and, not the philosopher) on a site where that was used already - tried other handles over the years but kept coming back to hobx. Don't even know how to pronounce it myself, but the general consensus seems to be hob-ex. So there you go, no need to feel bad about not being able to figure it out ;) Wahey. . . they're working! cloud9: eyes: eveilgrin: drumroll: Okay. . . . enough of that!

Try again

You'll get used to us ..... we do ramble about a bit though. whistle:
-
I don't ramble! That involves exercise! Outdoors! In the mud!
-
Nothing wrong with a bit of rambling, of the audio kind anyway.....wheres that barman btw? My glass is suspiciously empty... eeek:
-
Must have a hole in it. BM is probably "working" in the cellar. Help yourself and leave the money on the side. whistle:
It generally goes quiet this time of the evening ~ I'd not be here myself but I am "watching" the live scores for the crucial match. 34 minutes played and still 0-0

A cold beer, you must be bloody joking. The only time you get a cold pint in here is when BM leaves the cellar doors open, nevertheless I will have a pint of cooking cider please. Now pull up a sandbag and let me tell you a war story......

I'm back! eveilgrin:
Just put LL to bed with a sick bowl... ::)
Of course, I won't take advantage... whistle:

And peace descends once more over the denizens of the snug. Tobaco is handed round, pipes are gratefully filled and lit. A gentle hum of conversations hangs in the air as GOS pulls up a sandbag and settles down to retell tales of glories past. All is right with our little virtual world.

I see you standing beside the fire....
But first the Landlord will I trace;
Grave in his aspect and attire;
A man of ancient pedigree,
A Justice of the Peace was he,
Known in all Sudbury as "The Squire."
Proud was he of his name and race,
Of old Sir William and Sir Hugh,
And in the parlor, full in view,
His coat-of-arms, well framed and glazed,
Upon the wall in colors blazed;
He beareth gules upon his shield,
A chevron argent in the field,
With three wolf's heads, and for the crest
A Wyvern part-per-pale addressed
Upon a helmet barred; below
The scroll reads, "By the name of Howe."
And over this, no longer bright,
Though glimmering with a latent light,
Was hung the sword his grandsire bore
In the rebellious days of yore,
Down there at Concord in the fight.

'cactly.
