Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Another relic from the past was found under a rock on the Jurrasic coast it's known as a Moggladyte. Previous sightings Westminster and Eton.

 

I love these ancient finds that are being discovered all the time, and just recently gold coins https://news.artnet.com/art-world/largest-hoard-anglo-saxon-coins-2030280 axe heads https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-59386261 and now this. I was surprised that a Roman mosaic would have a scene from Greek mythology but whoever commissioned the work was apparently well educated from an era a long, long time ago before Gavin Williamson.

The Romans were admirers of Greek civilisation....Greek topics for mosaics may have been more common elsewhere as many villas in this country were built for Romano-British and even pure British families (especially later in the Roman era). We can only hazard a guess about why it was a Greek design....perhaps one half of the couple was Greek, perhaps the mosaic layer was Greek or had studied in Greece....could even be that the wife's sister had a Greek mosaic and she'd be damned if she'd have a common or garden one. No one will ever know.

 

This is where I was this evening. Special prize for guessing which one is me!

Guests spending a second night in an Inn after watching an Oasis tribute band and getting cut off.

Apparently they woke up to a Wonderwall of snow so were told Don't Go Away. There are plenty of Cigarettes and Alcohol there, so they Don't look back in Anger at not leaving earlier. If they had tried, they would Slide Away. Some Might Say that looking outside is Half a World Away to what they are used to. They are going to celebrate now and Say Thank You For The Good Times with a Champagne Supernova.



I'll get my coat.

 

You just know someone has gone there as a favour to his mrs and ****ing hates Oasis. Now been stuck in there for 48 hours listening to them

Probably supports Saints as well with that kind of luck

 

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
The waitress asks for their orders. The guy says, “A hamburger, fries, and a coke,” and turns to the ostrich, “What’s yours?”
“I’ll have the same,” says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. “That will be £18.40 please.”
The man reaches into his pocket and, without looking, pulls out the exact change for payment.

The next day, the guy and the ostrich return to the same restaurant and the guy says, “A hamburger, fries, and a coke.”
The ostrich says, “I’ll have the same.”
Again the guy reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

This becomes routine until one night they enter the restaurant and the waitress asks, “The usual?”
“No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and salad”, says the guy.
“Me too,” says the ostrich.
The waitress brings the order and says, “That will be £42.62.”
Once again the guy pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

The waitress can’t hold back her curiosity any longer. “Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?”

“Well,” says the guy, “several years ago I was cleaning my attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it a genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.”

“That’s brilliant!” says the waitress. “Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you’ll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!

“That’s right. Whether it’s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,” says the guy.

The waitress asks, “But, sir, what’s with the ostrich?”

The guy sighs and answers, “My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say.”

 

Oh my word…….

 

is that Uranus ?

 

The nice part about having an EV. Convo just now:

"We need to go to Ringwood tomorrow morning" (about 25 mile around trip)
"Oh I only have 20 miles left in the tank, I'll plug it in now"

Imagine an ICE car...

"We need to go to Ringwood tomorrow morning"
"****, better get up early and get some fuel tomorrow"

I know, small things...

 

Or

"We need to go to Ringwood tomorrow morning"
"I'm a bit low on petrol but as it's only 12 1/2 miles away we can run into the red and still get there ok, and I can have a lie in. We can get some more at Ringwood it only takes about 5 minutes to fill up".
"Thank goodness we don't have one of those battery things, I'd have to go out in the snow in my pyjamas and plug it up tonight."
