I am off tomorrow morning to the Ancient Metropolis of Salisbury for a CamRA weekend.
We will be starting at about midday and going on to about 20 pubs or until we drop.
(Whichever is sooner).
If anyone is in the Salisbury area and fancies drinking with a bunch of middle-aged, middle-class, alcohol enthusiasts, feel free to join us.
We should be in the Haunch of Venison for about 1.30pm.
My obituary may well appear by Sunday afternoon.
The Haunch is the oldest pub in Salisbury, Circa 1320, and has the mummified finger of a Saint on display.

I shall use the Shield of Immortality that alcohol provides and trust to a fair wind and the Bibulous Gods of Perpetual Overconsumption.

Why don't you try that magic pill against hangover, which was pasted here in the Lounge few days ago ?
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Alas it is not yet available in shops or grog emporia.

Mmm, my experience of the "Shield of Immortality that alcohol" leads to waking up the following afternoon thinking "When did I eat that...","oh that's an intestine" combined with "who detonated a bomb under my head" so expecting you to be out of action on Monday. Have fun are you taking the Jagggguar, that's a good Camara car.

Oh yes, pulling up in a Jaaag, wearing a Tweed Jacket, a doeskin wisket, a silver pocket watch and a silk cravat!
Brown Oxfords and Ruby Cords are de rigueur.
I shall be bringing my pipe and of course my Movember is coming on a treat!

Don't forget the monocle! You aren't properly dressed without it.
The deerstalker is clearly optional, but recommended since inclement weather is most probable, according to the televisual wireless apparatus.

I have a pair of spectacles that are required for perusal of menus and ale lists.
It leaves no room for the monocle.
As for headwear, well it will have to be a trilby given that I will be in the Jag.

I'm hoping it was his middle finger, and that it is displayed appropriately...

Its not easy to be a Saint it seems . They start chopping parts of your body after you are dead or maybe before ?

There is no call for that kind of language in the lounge, even if it may be accurate.

Back in 1340, that was a bit of leftover sausage nobody wanted to clean up. Calling it a relic started as a joke pulled on a tourist from Norway in 1356, and over time, the proprietors forgot its origins.
Will Rogers never met me.

CP's birthday salutation was posted by Leslie earlier. Da man beat you too it. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

During holiday seasons, we tend to get some Amazon gift coupons from various sources.
Unfortunately, few of them are for DE and some are for UK amazon. Amazon doesnt allow transfering between differen countries.
So i always end up 2 gift coupons which cannot be combined 
cheers,
Super

Yeah I was a little annoyed with this and even complained. I got a gift card for Amazon US, I'm in the UK so for anything I bought from the US I'd have to pay the postage and packing fee.
