Hiya
Thank you Mr ROF for your kind offer of equipment loan I do occasionally do a
spot of washing up so I am aware what Fairy Liquid is but I’m beaten with the
hosepipe never come across one of them, when my Guvnors in days of yore
told me to use the hosepipe I thought it was an invitation to go home and do
the ■■■ thingy.
thanks harry, long retired.
Nice to be back, chaps. Still have a bit of fiddling to do with th’allotment shop, such as manufacturing security windows (bl**dy little scrotes!) but I have to catch up with jobs on t’plot for a day or two. Winstons are all lifted (we’ve all had enough of the jokes), the broad beans and peas are in the freezer and the runner beans are just starting their harvest. Onions and shallots are almost ready and I’m continuing to enjoy home-grown salads- soon lose that couple of ounces of excess weight!
ounces ?
Yes, OUNCES, Rigsby!
I plan to be able to fasten the boiler suit shortly.

Hiya,
Salads don’t talk dirty ROF salad’s are for slimmers I can’t even remember
how to spell slim, it’s taken me a lifetime to get into this shape.

Harry I am enjoying a nice drop of Chvers Regal which I have had since fathers day but as I had a Glenmoangie and a Black Grouse on the go I waited while one was finished before starting it as I did not want the abuse which would have headed my way but I assume that having a dram or two of a good blended is a diet ain’t it ? 
cheers Johnnie

Hiya,
That is acceptable as a “balanced diet” just so long as you don’t intermingle single
malt with any of the "blends"that would be termed offensive and unacceptable it
would be equally offensive to add mixers and that includes ice and water, beer or
lager can be sipped alongside your single malt but the glasses kept a foot apart.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry I was brought up properly I’ll have you know and the only thing you have in a malt is another one 
and I don’t do mixers of water in blended either as it would upset my stomach
cheers Johnnie

Quite right Mr S, Im a single Malts drinker & IMHO There is nothing better than sitting back in ones fave armchair relaxing & sipping some of Scotlands famous SM,s, Mind you I have 3 bottles of Some Welsh Single Malt called Penderyn 40 Volts plus, A very nice smooth Malt IMO, Im sure you must enjoy these lovely Malts as I do, & Of course Harry, Regards Larry.
Just finished a litre of 46 volt Ardbeg last night. I’m now reduced to Black Grouse because I’m only a POOR pensioner.
bank Holiday is coming so the supermarkets MIGHT have some offers on.

Mmm, not often that you see the words POOR and PENSIONER together in the same sentence! I can barely wait until December when I turn 65 and can then afford all the luxuries (Jag’s, single malt’s etc etc) that you old guy’s on here enjoy daily. Roll on christmas!

Hiya,
Ang your not supposed to fall of the lorry but I’ve fallen off the wagon a few times,
I once phoned my gaffer to tell him I’d hurt my shoulder in a fall “getting out of the
cab” all he said was have you got it loaded and can you get it back here, it was a
tilt I was loading and rarely for me it was an arse end load so only had the tail flap
to sort I did complete and got the old Atki back to the yard only about a mile and a
bit to be greeted by will you be able to take it to Dover tomorrow, a quick rub with
horse liniment when I got home and was en-route at 5.00 am next day hard as nails.
thanks harry, long retired.

Many years ago, rushing about, Leyland Octopus, one leg well on its way out of the cab, the other foot caught on the bloody great ratchet handbrake…face down on the tarmac. No injuries as such, the lads around had a good laugh, I felt a right ■■■.

Hiya,
GOM any chance of me feeling the left one ■■

I didn’t know which thread to put this on , so i opted for the thread with the oldest ( and drunkest )members .A new report by medical sources says that older people , over 65s especially drink far too much and that they should be limited to one and a half units of alcohol a day . If this is true it could lead to a collapse of the scottish distilling industry . Have these people no thought of the results of their pronouncements ? dave
Here you go Dave, aforesaid report.

“A new report”, what a wonderful phrase, these “new reports” are now part of our daily balanced diet.
Well I have a message for the author of this “new report”…stuff it as far as you can get it. 
I’ve got to this age, I won’t change, and one thing is for sure, you can’t have a taste of malt when you’re dead so I’m getting my fair share now.
