Tales from the Freak Bar..5

[Undave]

You could always go and sit outside in my car if you really need to get some quiet. I\'ll be driving up there on my tod at this rate as I don\'t know anyone except OrkyDave (probably working that day) who\'s interested enough in painting to want to tag along



I\'ll hang on to the keys though, the last time my car got nicked it was found in a car park in Chesterfield

 

[squidders]

I\'ll be going past coventry on my way up.

You\'re lucky, you can keep on going past. I have to stop here. I don\'t mind driving up on my own I just wish there were a few more people from Cov who were interested in improving their painting.

 

[squidders]

Maybe Coventry is the unknown hub of painting excellence?

 

[DaN]

It\'s official.
If my eyes don\'t stop itching soon, I have to gouge them out. :cussing:

Something cold, and non-staining please - in a bowl with a straw, so I can scuba in it and soothe my eyes.

Bubba -

Drinks are on me - after 6 months of effort, I\'m finally officially in the holding pattern to go back to the land of sand.

Congrats! Make mine something cool and fruity, Bubba. I just had an agent ask me where Manhattan is and another wanted to know why the country of \"South America\" didn\'t show in his system. God love noobies! It\'s going to be a long night.

Thanks for the offer Undave and I can assure you it wasn\'t me who took your car to Chesterfield. lol

DaN, don\'t antihistemines (sp?) work for you? You could also try an ionising light bulb. (You don\'t swallow those, they replace the normal bulb in your light socket).

Congratulations, Steelcut, you\'ve got what you wanted. It\'s not what I\'d want but 90 degree heat would flatten me.

Oh dear Liz, there do seem to be some dense people around. lol

I think I overdid it yesterday. I didn\'t get enough rest but I still went to the club. I did sleep well, though.

Roger, seeing as though it\'s date day how about we start it by heading to South America (any one of the actual countries would do. Maybe see Mayan ruins) for the day, eating lots of true ethnic food and then head to MANHATTAN for dinner and the theater later. I think I can get us into The St Regis New York for the night if you\'re too tired to head home afterward. They do spa services and you get a butler. What do you think?

 

[Roger Bunting]

That sounds great. I think it\'s Peru where the mayans were from (probably other countries as well).

 

[Sand Rat]

Yeah, no. For Mayans you want Central America. In South America you get the Incans and a whole bunch of other tribes.

 

[airhead]

and the \"ethnic food\" is guinea pigs.


Lloyd, hate to see you go back into harms way, but I understand. Stay safe and keep us informed.

 

[Springbok]

I would love to visit south-america, sounds brilliant! I really like the sound of the USA aswell, my bit of exotic traveling will happen in February when i\'m going to my school reunion in South Africa.

 

[Roger Bunting]

Right, yeah, the Incas were from the peru area. I don\'t fancy trying Guinea Pig.

I agree. Lets skip all that and just go Chile instead. Then New York.

 

[Sand Rat]

Eh, depending on what they\'ve been fed, GP isn\'t that bad of a taste.

Yes but I kept them as pets for a while. It\'s hard to eat something you\'ve named.

 

[Undave]

I prefer Guiness pigs, they\'re the Irish version lol

 

[Roger Bunting]

I saw a program on tv about some people who went to Peru and were going to try the local cuisine. So they went into the house and sat in the room, where there were dozens of guinea pigs running around. Only they weren\'t pets, they were food. Not long later they were being offered some to eat (they\'d watched the owner kill them), whilst they were still in that same room. I\'m not having a go at another countries food (well, how can I living in the UK lol), but I like those little critters to be alive.

 

[mud duck]

You eat them raw and running Roger?!?
How do you get past the fur and the little death squeek as you take that first bit?



EEEPPP! One to go.
