Not a bad day at all.

[gregb]

Ah... Saturdays.

Fell out of bed about an hour after the usual time, not even hung over.

Had brekky while catching up on both this forum and the Coopers forum (Coopers didn't take long).

Trip down to the semi-local HBS, picked up a bit of stuff, a kit that had been spoken of favourably, bit of a chat.

Dropped into the gym for a perv, worked off a few dark ales while I was there.

Bottled a Pale ale. No dramas (like leaving the tap open on the racking bin).

Got a Pilsner going. No f**k ups (like missing the bucket when pouring in the kit).

Rounding out with a few stouts and a DVD of 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'

The sun was shining, not a cloud to be seen in the sky. Some days you jus wouldn't be dead for quids.

Cheers,

Greg.

Doesn't get much better, does it?

Well, perhaps if you'd won the lotto. Or various other things had happened. But all round I think you've had a pretty bloody good day.

I agree it sound like the sort of day you would choose if you knew it was your last one. It sure beats looking at a workbench full of false teeth like I did all day. The one shining light was going past the local bottlo at picking up a half a doz of Trumer Pils. Goes all right if you ask me. Would want to for $19! Had a few while cooking tea, and decided that beer can indeed fix what ales (sic) you!

I had a great day myself last Wednesday - firstly won tickets to the Finn Brothers concert ($85 a pop, thank you very much).

That night I headed to the local to play in a pool comp and ended up winning the whole thing (been a couple of years since that happened). Normally the prize is a slab of VB or Draught, thought I'd try my luck and ask for a couple of 6-packs of James Squire Amber Ale instead. Barkeep asked if I had any other preferences. I said Coopers Pale Ale, thinking I'd only get a couple of 6 packs (still better off than a slab of CUB plop). Well, imagine my surprise when he asked if I'd prefer a slab of CPA or 12 longnecks!!

Needless to say I took the longnecks, which will come in quite handy as I was running short of empties to bottle. Was quite happy with how that day turned out.

You know, ever since I read this a rather offputting image has been stuck in my head.
Do tell, Triumph.

Do I have an overactive imagination?

It’s a dark room in which there is an old timber, stained and scarred of course, work bench.

In front of the bench is a four legged timber stool and above the bench there are shelves, lots of shelves, with jars and glasses with clear fluid and lots of sets false teeth in them.

Old discarded dentist’s tools are scattered on the bench and at the back there is a set of drawers each tiny draw has a name on it like “34a incisor smoker’s yellow”. The jars are similarly labeled with names like “Mrs. Vera Jones”, “Old man Walker” etc.

The only source of light is a magnifying lamp perched on the work bench, bur as you look into the gloom you see old gummy people with drool and saliva dripping from their faces as they wait expectantly for their fangs.

Friar, not only can you read minds, you can read mine from Perth.
Though you left out the fact that some of the dentists tools look like torture implements, and that the workbench has several teeth embedded in the scarred wood...

[Friar]

how true

Just look????

Friar,
Quite an emotive passage you wrote, and sadly for me you are not too far off the mark... we have better light, and thats about it! To clarify, i make choppers for a living and I would say that it is not as interesting as it sounds, except for the fact that everyone already knows that staring into the vacant gaping maws of whingeing old bastards could in no way be interesting, or indeed normal. I should have studied in school. Come to think of it, if I HAD studied, I might have become a Proctologist dealing with the other troublesome end of old people. So I guess being a lazy shiftless bastard has actually done me a favour!

It's all a metter of perspecitve

If you get rid of the teeth and jars

Put in a soldering iron and some wire a few components and circuitboards

You got my trade

Same bench different day

Friar

[grabman]

triumph,

I'll keep that in mind when I need my next set of choppers! Where is Perth is your torture chamber?
