onewilyfool Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It looks like a lot of our British members will have their lifestyle curtailed somewhat.....Clearly this article applies to most British Gibson Forumites we know.......our condolences dear friends.....

albertjohn Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I was hoping no-one would pick this up on the other side of the pond. It does explain why Johnt's input has been below par. He tries to perpetuate a long standing British tradition of getting completely wankered on a Saturday night and having a punch up with the cops, but he can't do it on his own for much longer. Don't look at me - I'm at home consuming my 560 pints of beer (the average Scottish adult's alcohol consumption per annum by the way) in front of the telly. Too drunk to f...................I mean pluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the reason for having to be an adult to legally drink was because a person is supposed to be responsible by that time in their life! Seems like Govt. can't help themselves...they HAVE to treat the citizens like children! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretplay Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well thanks for your kind words onewilyfool but we over here in deepest Hertfordshire ( thats Southern UK ) are still playing and yes the odd guitar break is helped along by a glass or two or ? of chardonnay sometimes from Calif as well.

Quite right too fretplay. I think we have a solution in our household. I bought a home brew kit for my 16yo (Albert John) for xmas and he tells me it will be ready this weekend. We have a village next to ours called Rotten End. "Albert, I have a name for your beer son!" Don't need no New Labour Nanny State bollocks thanks!

onewilyfool Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 When you guys drink California Chardonnay, do you stick your little pinky finger out, like you do when drinking a proper tea???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Govt. can't help themselves...they HAVE to treat the citizens like children! Hey, our government is just as bad. I can't get any transfats in my diet and now they want to limit my salt intake. Man, Yankee Doodles just don't taste the same anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does take a real man to drink Californian Chardonnay with one's pinky in the correct tea drinking position. How is it done in California Wily? Presumably with a tan, a sidearm and straight from the bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(however, when I have my index finger hooked in the bottle grip, I DO stick my pinkie straight out!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this word exist?? Not even in the poncy USA dicktionary!! My input has been below par because I have been earning a crust. As for drinking let alone binge drinking I am a reformed man.

albertjohn Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Say what you like about reliced electrics, J45s etc, but that is horrible. It's a LP made in Bozeman, which is odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
