Warpz. A trendy bar in the centre of town with loud music and expensive drinks. Lively, with a good selection of cocktails. Their infamous "Vodka Warp Point Wobbler" is to die for. Literally.

Nice, sounds like the sort of bar I would hang out in as these bars are normally wall to wall with blart

The Colony. An ecclectic Soho lounge bar serving a wide variety of high quality drinks and vaxin finger foods. Live jazz four days a week and occasional poetry readings.

Hmmmm... sounds a bit pretentious to me and I do not think that the composite avewrage IQ of the regulars is up to this sort of eclectic establishment

The EEE and whistle. Situated on the outskirts of town, The Whistle Serves good family food and home-cooked ambient wavelengths from 11 'til late. Some excellent Belgian lagers available in the summer.

I am not sure about this.. home cooked family food normally means burnt baked beans on toast or undercooked Sunday roasts or that horrible damn thing called meatloaf Amercians like so much (what is a potroast anyway?) - possibly a good place for a cheeky half in the summer once the hoegaarden (grand cru of course) is available

Madame Oogl's Tentacle House. Popular and (ahem) highly accomodating establishment in the red light district of the Cue Cappa quarter. Not much in the way of beer, but the whiskies are satisfactory and the service is extremely stimulating.

Ooh, sounds naughty - I thought this was meant to be a family post!!

The Bifrost Lodge. Traditional Space Valkyrie longhouse hotel, with friendly service and a family atmosphere. Proprietress Mad Helga the Decapitator will make you feel right at home. Some fantastic home-brewed meads, and an outdoor cat-roast on Thursdays if the weather's good.

Sounds like your fantasy to me

pounding down a road at about 40km hit a bump and the back tire started to go out from under me.
I tried to correct it by weight placement... next thing you know my butt is sliding off my seat and i am heading towards the handle bars. ( And it is at the bottom of a valley in the road) so the road starts to climb. I go airborne and the front tire hits the beginning of the hill. The bike starts to flip and i do a face plant into the road ( it changes into a nice rock gravel road here) and go about 10 meters up this road on my stomach and elbows and face... with most of the bike on my back and some of it under me.

I did manage to yell 'mother.....' as this was all happening...
When it was done i stood up walked to a store near by with my bike... and very politey asked if i could clean myself up...then fell to ground ( I was a little wobbely)... So they took me to the hospital. so here i am at home. I am also bugging georgig at work on #se4 about this

Mephisto, I'll try and clarify what I meant,,,

the ball must be in front of you when attacking the goal and your in the box, or you must have either the ball or a defender between you and the goal, so if there is no ball or defender in front of yu then you are off sides, in addition the opposing side gets a penalty kick from location of the off side penalty,This all pertains when the attacker is in the box.

Therefore, If you are driving on opposing goal and are called off sides in the box, you loose the ball, defender gets penalty kick which in turn sends it back down field towards your goal. Sooo, the evaluation, don't get in front of the ball when in the box or you lose the ball....

If not for the rule, it would be an unfair advantage on the attacker vs goalie as he could have teammates swarm around in front of or box in etc the defending goalie, thus being unable to properly defend his/her goal.

UUUU SSSS AAAA
we're going all the way

try again Mac

AWOOGA AWOOGA AWOOGA

Important announcement for all Cantina patrons

AWOOGA AWOOGA AWOOGA

The proprietors of the Cantina (ie me and the Boston Sex Fiend) have decided that it is no longer commercially prudent to operate the said establishment for, inter alios, the following reasons:

1 cashflow is next to non-existent due to the propensity of bartabs operated by the regular clientele, and the recent destruction of said tabs;

2 due to unwanted advances made by Kenyan based Canadian customers to the waitresses, said waitressess have now left our employment;

3 the recent defensive tactics resorted to by the proprietors in order to pacify the Cantina has led to irreparable structural damage;

4 there is a large leaking vat of dogpoo outside the back of the Cantina;

5 the conversation in the Cantina is off topic; and

6 one of the regular customers is about to be barred to suggesting that one of the proprietors (the good looking feline one) might wear a stetson..

The Cantina will close for good at post 1350. Any alternative naming suggestions will be appreciated as I will be opening a new 'watering hole' once the Cantina has departed to that great distillery in the sky

Au revoir mes enfants

Seeing as this is post 128, that leaves 121 post to go, We need those ideas in early folks. Say by post 1300 so we have a 50 post window to vote.

EDIT: "The Bait, Banter, and Brewskie Bar"
