This couldn't happen at our party! Could it?

Oooh! A party! Can colonists join?

Our current Aldi catalogue lists "Golden Sheep Ale 500ml a refreshing beautifully balanced ale fermented in traditional Yorkshire square fermenting vessels"
What the brexit does a "square vessel" do for it? There's also a Black Sheep Ale advertised (non-square I take it), but in the light of recent posts I think that's best left unopened!

Can I come too, please?
Tooglam; What a lovely name! Of course you can! With a name like that you can't be a chap, but you can't be too careful these days!
Btw; we don't seem to have a bar-person; interested? Cheers

Can I come too, please?

Smashed hand and wrist
Iza; Sorry to hear that! You don't come across as a political activist so you wouldn't have been marching and (bath)tub thumping, although you say you've studied that thanks to your 3 godchildren. My musical prowess is Nil, although I have been heard to blow my own trumpet at times, but quickly told to shut up! Not even attempted the didgeridoo!
Take care!

Refus: Bucks fizz WITH breakfast not for breakfast! I start off with a ladylike flute but things can go downhill fast (at least I haven't resorted to drinking out of a bucket )

What's wrong with straight from the bottle?
Sunseeker; "Buck's Fizz for breckie!? My word! With such impeccable taste you are more than welcome to join this thread and lift the standard a bit and it suggests you are a lady "Netter" and not macho-man.! True or False? But wouldn't a champagne flute look classier than "straight from the bottle?"

Ordered my Mushroom Wellington for Christmas Day. Anyone else veggie fancy a share?

Just joined in this thread - drinking wine from buckets! I am appalled! What's wrong with straight from the bottle .

Will try to pop in on Christmas Day but between bucks fizz with breakfast, sherry before lunch, wine with lunch, champagne and chocs in the afternoon - I may not be able to focus on the keyboard!

Sadly my goose plucking days are over. Smashed hand and wrist some time ago left me with full rotation but reduced power.

Geese are easier to pluck than chickens though as the skin is tougher and less likely to tear. No fish 'ere midear At least not today.

Rufus I doubt there are three wise men on GN though
Lemongrove; Your turn next for a"roasting, but it's 8.15pm, so I'll have to get my tea/dinner; not goose; crumbed whiting! Back in a mo'!
Changed my mind on my way to the freezer; creamy tuna mornay bake instead; it's Friday so must still go with fish!
Your count to 3 is irrelevant when you consider our combined ages and factor in our collective IQs. We could be on a TV Brains Trust at the drop of a hat!

Ray Coniff (had to look him up!)
Iza; You should have looked how to spell his name, whilst you were at it, but you're forgiven. {tchwink]
I note that your trio of musos' pluck guitar strings; might be quite good too, but what we need firstly for the party is someone who is good at plucking goose feathers! Any volunteers?

There is a strong history of "wise women"
Phoenix; Is there? I wouldn't know! Somebody should have told "Bill S", then he might not have coined "Hubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble, witches burn etc." He wasn't thinking of the 3 wise men.

There is a strong history of "wise women", sometimes the term was used for a witch!

Rufus I doubt there are three wise men on GN though.?

How do you play a bathtub Iza other than thumping it?
The real use for a bathtub of course is to keep your coal in it.

3 wise what ?? Heeheeheehee.
EllanVannin. Now! I've already reminded everyone that this is the season of goodwill to all men. I suppose that way back when, "wise women" were as scarce as hen's teeth and it proved difficult to gather 3 together. Just as well I suppose! Think of the arguing about which presents to bring! Thankfully, 3 wise men were on hand to save us all!

Rufus I have 3 wonderful godchildren who have introduced me to some amazing music over the years. I was forced into classical music studies when young and to be free of such constraints as I grew older has been so liberating. I have an advanced knowledge of musical theory and a love of music. Combined with an openness for new sounds I now have eclectic tastes.

I am an avid traveller and have been introduced to much world music. I learned to play a bath tub in rural America for instance. My only dislike really is Chinese Opera!

3 wise what ?? Heeheeheehee.

I can tone down to Joe Bonamassa, Groove Armada, Excalibar
Blimey; What are these? Not the 3 wise men surely? Probably sauces for the goose or gander.!

That cake sounds delicious Izabella - especially the kirsch soaked cherries! I can't wait to try some
