LC Walking Weekend (2009 - 2017)

[Pete]

Pete was just mentioning the fact there were loads of arrows but he couldn’t see the Indians although one of the arrows did knock Ken’s hat slightly askew

[Diane]

Pete your stories are so funny, thanks for the laughs. Paula yes, the arrows and Ken's hat - hilarious!

[liverpoolken]

Pete
Just like Diane and I'm sure the rest of the group I too really appreciate your humourous tales.

I must remember not to read them too close to bedtime........I was still chuckling to myself while trying to get to sleep last night.

[Paula]

I think in a previous life Pete would have been on strong medication! You totally crack me up

[Yorkshire Lad]

Ken - I thank you for your preview of the cover of the sequel to 'The Diamond's Mine' but the storyline I have in mind does not involve moustaches. I am already working to a tight deadline and it's touch and go if I can complete it on time...it's going to be a close shave.

Pete

Ken
It looks as if you will have to be a man and take your rejected moustache on the chin but then it won't be a moustache anymore will it

[Yorkshire Lad]

By the way, I noticed the beds had seen better days in that cheap seafront guesthouse you finished up in after you got chucked out of the Sandpiper:

Diane
I will have you know we tried to leave the Sandpiper quietly and without any fuss down the fire escape without paying but just as we got to the bottom my suitcase burst open and all the the little extras from out of our room (shampoos soaps etc, etc ) spilled into the road . How unlucky is that . It wouldn't have been that bad but Jean was behind me carrying the portable television and she tripped and broke it . Luckily the one we checked into for the rest of our stay had one . Well she has to watch Eastenders on something !

[tinderella]

Hey Phil, you and Mambo had the same ideas.
Here she is checking out the fire escape to see what she can fit out through the window and then she thinks up a cunning plan to leave the B & B disguised in Paulas coat, just in case they twig anything is missing when they clean the room. Well with Mr Cohen deciding to continue touring next year now, we need all the freebees we can lay our hands on so we can fill our saving tins for the next concerts .

Hows about this yorkshire saying :Hear all, see all, say nowt. Eat all, drink all, pay nowt, and tha ever dus owt for nowt, All-us do it for thee-sen.
Roughly translated means :
Hear everything, see everything, but say nothing.
Eat everything, drink everything, but pay nothing,
and if you ever do anything for nothing,
always do it for yourself

What they should give you is directions to Barnsley the capital of Yorkshire where nobody ever burns the pubs down because the beer tastes too good .

Phil its not often I laugh out loud at the computer screen, but when the keyboard player picked up the newspaper and ripped it, and then ripped it all the way down as the final flourish, that was brilliant.

Yorkshiremen are so poor they have to improvise to obtain the musical sounds with any old household item . The only instrument a Yorkshierman buys is a violin so that he can play it while he his describing his poverty stricken existence

I know you are more a connoisseur of the grape than the hop, but I thought you would like to know what we lowly beer lovers get up in our quest for the holy grail......the perfect pint of real ale.

I was quite surprised yesterday when I was up in a rain soaked Lake District attending the Broughton Beer Festival to find one pub, The Black Cock Inn (yes we've heard all the jokes darling) staging a Battle Of the Roses. As you can see from the images below the pub owner had decided to stage a battle of the beers between Lancashire and Yorkshire.
I have included an image of my scratcher's card (that's what we beer guzzlers call the the list of beers we carry around with us to tick off the beers as we drink them) to show you the weapons ie. beers in the battle of the beers.
You will be pleased to know that by the consensus of opinion of our non-partisan Liverpool group Yorkshire won by a short head on the strength of the wonderful Pennine Gold from the Bridestone Brewery.

BTW did you know that the bar in the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds sells not only ‘Yorkshire’ branded crisps flavoured with Chardonay wine vinegar but also Yorkshire produced wines…I kid thee not….then again as you never fail to remind me Leeds ain’t really in Yorkshire

Ken
In my humble opinion the centre of the beer lovers universe must be Masham in North Yorkshire where there are two breweries producing two of the finest ales on the planet . Theakstons which brew my favourite "old peculiar " and Black Sheep Brewery which brew an ale of the same name( Black Sheep). It is true that I prefer wine these days but that does not prevent me on the odd occasion walking with the dogs and ending up at to our village local and sitting beside their log fire ( especially in the winter ) and having a couple of theakstons old peculiar . A truely uplifting experience which ticks all the boxes !
Speaking of ticking boxes it is a wonder you could still hold the pen if every tick on your sheet represents a pint !

The day and the house all to myself for a change, so I got my Christmas tree up and it looks nice.

Look forward to meeting you all again in 2010

Lots of Love
