Its Friday.
Reveiwing the week of tedious topics on forums, ridiculous headlines from our supposed "authorities" I am contemplating how to enjoy a traditional Friday "Lunch"
Should I journey into deepest Southwark and visit the club?
Fine wines (an enjoyment clearly and very sadly lost on most members of this forum), traditional English fare? A good Port to wash down with?
Sadly not quite the same since Peter retired as manager
Not sure, perhaps the headlines and images of "Big Dave" threatning to bomb people requires less journey time and more time caressing the glass.
On reflection I think I shall stay local and seek out some traditional ales....yes tis the thing to do I feel.
What are others contemplating? Sadly, reading most responses on this forum, contemplation is not something that most practice, preferring the banality of an instance response or a mild "scratch" of the surface.
The authorities will be delighted, ignorance being the true opiate of the masses.
No, I think I shall take the advice of Edgar Allen Poe
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts, queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away.
What I care how time advances;
I am drinking ale today."
Indeed.
