Should a lady really be in the lounge?

Here in Aus, the lounge is the genteel bit of the pub, where gentlefolk of all sexes can eat, drink and be merry to the chiming of poker machines next door.
The public bar inhabitant is more your hard-bitten drinker, often bitterly ex-married.
The monkey cage (outdoor smoking area, with barred windows and CCTV) is where the adventurous and fatally curious hang out.
If someone out there passes you a lit hand-rolled cigarette, say thank you nicely and prepare for the consequences.
Hats almost mandatory : baseball cap for the plebs, woolen beanie for the cognoscenti.
Scarf in football colours of choice.

It was the hats that set me off, I'd like to apologise, Dicky, I'd like to, but I shan't.

I don't know what to make for my tea

A kebab.

I am a man of means, you can take your kebab, borrow a hat, and take a long walk along a short Pier.

I need something healthy, yet filling and tasty.

You can have salad on it?

You've been quiet regarding the preparations for the Trivial Towers Anniversary Festival on 30th July to 1st August. Being Linked Internationally via satellite and all forms of handheld and not-so-handheld communication devices (everywhere except Hockenheim for some reason) we wondered if you would be Our Man In The Antipodes?

This offer cannot be traded for cash.

I went to the butchers earlier. On the display he'd made some cute little chicken thigh, maple cured bacon parcels with some sauce drizzle type things. I thought to myself.."Ooooooh"

So I bought 4.

THEN, I went across to the green grocers to pick up some broccoli and green beans. I will make crushed new potatoes which I have already, a drizzle of garlic butter before a quick blast in a hot oven.


It will be really super fantastic.

I feel we ignore rodents as a culinary choice in the UK, and are poorer for it.

Did you know in South America the frescoes in Churches depicting the last supper often show Jesus and his mates tucking into Guinea Pigs, apparently to make it more relevant to the natives.

[Adenauer]

Jesus is a made up person, as are all of his so called mates.

iva has inspired me, I'm going to have a massive burger

Bet he hasn't heard that very often

If I make it to the Paradise (no, it's really called that) during that period, I would be honoured to report from the monkey cage.
I'll be wearing my best black beanie (I am afraid that a Chinese hat would probably be regarded with disfavour by the regulars).

For the same reasons he's shown to Europeans as a Charles Manson lookalike, rather than more like homeless Lionel Richie:

At times like this you need to ask yourself, what would Jesus eat?

The big Kahuna burger.

And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

She's fashioned the foam on my coffee into the shape of a love heart.
At least, I think it's foam.

What would Jesus drive?

All the chippies round our way drive beaten up utes, usually either raised (4wd) or lowered, so that's what I'd put my money on.

A Ford Ka probably, really annoyingly. Or a Toyota Pious. Or he'd be a cyclist.

His old man was the chippy - he was a homeless fisherman, non?

In either case, a knackered 25 year old Transit or pickup would make sense.

[Impasse]

I thought he was a Honda driver? Something about doing something of his own Accord.

He was around a lot longer than 25 years ago wasn't he?
