I was three weeks shy of legal. (21) The case was dismissed when I finally stood before the judge because, by then, I was comfortably legal. The judge was a good man and wished me a happy birthday. My crime was having a beer in my hand when the police swept in to quell evil. Luckily, I was not scarred from the experience.Cletis https://www.blogger.com/profile/01865557276496148455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-77084686011066263772011-11-04T11:58:48.600+00:002011-11-04T11:58:48.600+00:00Nice blue - might use it somewhere in the new hous...Nice blue - might use it somewhere in the new house.Chairman Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908632282972692269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-61397137770440658932011-11-04T07:51:48.305+00:002011-11-04T07:51:48.305+00:00we all have one of those blushing moments, for one...we all have one of those blushing moments, for one reason or another...<br />;)~<br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-44937438772173586352011-11-03T16:13:31.268+00:002011-11-03T16:13:31.268+00:00is whipped cream way interswct with spiced cake la...is whipped cream way interswct with spiced cake lane - what a tasty name!mouse (aka kimy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09385557065971602436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-8255789973055012932011-11-03T15:53:21.290+00:002011-11-03T15:53:21.290+00:00What nice blogs you have (I love sepia too) and lo...What nice blogs you have (I love sepia too) and love mosaics too,lovely pub, here we have a little town almost have all the houses with mosaics in their walls included the church!GloriaGloria Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055543111865966546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-48768582597589819332011-11-03T10:02:18.239+00:002011-11-03T10:02:18.239+00:00I'm another one who rather fancies Spice Cake ...I'm another one who rather fancies Spice Cake Lane.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-63889001243819173632011-11-03T00:53:56.230+00:002011-11-03T00:53:56.230+00:00Enjoy the history behind these premises.

So courage would only count as one, as would say Scottish and Newcastle. He has every Welsh pump clip since 1900 bar one (not available) including every micro brewery. Oh, he can bore people for hours!<br /><br />Did you know there's even a pumpclip museum http://www.pumpclipmuseum.com/<br /><br />As for me, I just like the beer.The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-68743982314974742182011-11-02T19:42:50.839+00:002011-11-02T19:42:50.839+00:00Spice Cake Lane - there has to be a story behind t...Spice Cake Lane - there has to be a story behind that!Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-42816389340466355772011-11-02T17:59:29.418+00:002011-11-02T17:59:29.418+00:00One of the things Gem and I adored doing during ou...One of the things Gem and I adored doing during our UK visit, was take note of the many unexpected and delightful place names.

When I started as an apprentice in the RAF, 1963, I can remember we were paid £4 a week, and we could go to town and have a good time on that, and still have money in the bank. Hard to buy a pint in London for that now.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697994929567403766noreply@blogger.com
