Merry Christmas Owl and to all the thread contributors.

The going rate at the time was £200 but I got away with £100 so they probably had a bit of sympathy for me. The fine wasn't the worrying thing though, that was the Brewster Sessions when your licence was up for renewal and the coppers object. I got through that though but had to get up and bare my backside. Then I had them in again in the next pub but I think that was down to the ex-wife having grassed me up. Again, got around 40/45 in, big bang on the door so I manage to shhhhhh everyone up and I open the door. Copper says "Are you drinking in there?", "Yes" I tell him. Copper "How many you got in?" Me "Oh. only a few." Copper "Can I come in and have a look." Me "Gulp. yeah come in." My private door led behind the bar and 2 coppers come in. Sergeant and a Constable. Copper " Fxxx me, thy has got a few in ant da. Gi em another half hour and then gradually get em off home." Proper policing.

That's a bit of a falsehood Owl. I know this for a fact as I had a couple of pubs previously and fell foul of the law. We'd been out all evening (Coach full from the pub) at Market Rasen races. Stopped off at Bawtry on the way home then back to my Pub when they pounced. I told them I'd had a good win at the races and I was buying/paying for all the drinks whilst they waited for taxis home. Didn't work although I thought it would. Bone Fide friends are allowed to stay and have a drink at your expense as landlord. The problem I had was there was around 50 people in the pub. Guilty as charged m'lud.???? I don't think the coach driver helped, he was hoping to service one of the local girls and came into the pub having parked up the side of the pub, never mind.????

The Owls got lucky again Owl. Conceded a penalty in the last minute and the goalkeeper saved it. Pleased to see the Argies win the World Cup even though they were singing anti English songs. Can't help but feel we'd get along really well if it wasn't for the Falkland Islands, their loss. Did you get to see any of the WC, I know there was access problems where no broadcaster was prepared to pay for the privilege. Mildred has some talent with her art, without a doubt, but they are all a bit samey. That talent needs developing, get your hand down and get her some additional lessons. We all await close up pictures of Ting, is this something you'd consider or would that be an intrusion. Probably would be Tinging about it. Condolences reference the Avocado, i'm sure he or she will be missed.

Could you make sure you tell them i'll be out all day on Thursday please Owl? The Owls got lucky, got the equaliser well into injury time. As far as England go, I reckon it's all that kneeling that's messing them up. Why don't they just concentrate on the football.

I'm a bit traditional Owl, I'd happily go back to 2 up and 2 down but I understand that just like the pussy needs feeding the cash cow needs milking. If these things don't happen, all sorts of stuff starts breaking down and going haywire. If the pussy is not fed, who can blame it for seeking nourishment elsewhere. And the cash cow? If it isn't milked, it will stop producing. I always thought the third placed clubs got a raw deal. They finish third, over 46 games and usually someone who finished below them gets promoted. This article is 6 years old but reckons 3rd placed teams have a 40% chance of going up, whilst the other 3 places have around a 20% chance. Still 40% against 60% though.

Blue and White Striped Owl? I like it. It was a difficult watch on Saturday, The Owls that is, neither team threatened. We're after automatic promotion Owl, i'd see the play offs again as a bit of a failure as well as a lottery. I never mentioned food Owl. Not everything is fed food, some things need to be fed other stuff.????

Yeah, she'll only wait so long. She's probably casting her net elsewhere now. Can't let it go hungry Owl, it needs feeding. Please enquire about her Aunty Annie next time you do see her and let us know if getting fed on a regular basis.

Never met Cliff but once bumped into Hank Marvin in a hotel bar. After a few sherbets I asked him what the worst thing about his fame was. Quick as a flash he said, "Without a doubt, it's my name. Everytime I introduce myself I'm offered a sandwich."

Well done Owl, put him back in his box.????

I see that urine treatment you've embarked on is finally showing results.????

They only play that game so they can kiss Fannys backside. https://petanque.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/fanny/

The Owls do indeed march on, at the moment, we'll see. Big pitch battle at Bramall Lane after the final whistle with 2 getting sent off. They are a nasty shower of thugs though down there, supporters and players alike. ????????????

The fact of the matter is the poor people loved him, i'd much prefer to listen to them as to you.

Well, they must have been getting more from him than they are/were from the other lot or they wouldn't vote for him. Not difficult to understand really.

Oh without a doubt Owl, a very British Institution previously and the pride of the nation. Not with the <deleted> it peddles now though which is little better than sedition IMHO.

If you're suffering with DD Owl, you'll need to stop watching the BBC, that'll be where you're picking it up.

Bingo. It's something that sets us above Republics. Who else remembers the Canadians looking down their noses and laughing at the Watergate debacle. The clever ones knew then what they had. The system is perfect, a head of state, who keeps their nose out of things and carries little power except the ultimate power just is case it is ever needed. The armed forces swear allegiance to the King or Queen and not the government. Most Republicans can't understand or grasp the concept, they just haven't thought it through. If for instance a despot was ever elected in the UK the Crown has the ultimate power to remove them. Not only that, the Monarchy pays for itself in the money it brings in, it's a win win. Remove the King or Queen to install another politician, haven't we had enough politicians? I have thanks.

Did you manage to give her one Monsieur, this morning I mean.

No, they reckoned v Sheffield Wednesday although I only had half an ear cocked at the time. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=268667351268793 Or an alternative is in here,

Oh, and after the Forest Spurs game yesterday, Sky showed Harry Kanes first league goal. So, who was he playing for and who did he score against?

We're hoping it's our turn mate yes. We have the players, manager just needs to keep getting a tune out of them.

Correction. Owls got 5 Owl although they did get 3 in midweek.????

Eat healthy, drink more water and keep away from the football results.????
