Ooooh, what a lovely new pub! :clap:

The rabble will be along in a moment to mess it all up no doubt!

Yes, but they are lovely rabble!


(rabble? :scratch: )

[AveMaria]

The rabble is here! :D

Resurrection Pub - love it!

[RedneckAnglican]

are you refering to the rednecks as rabble?...


I love the smell of a new alehouse...smells like victory!...

[PaladinGirl]

Hey everyone! :wave:

[TomUK]

:wave:

We've got a fully stocked bar (including a few star trek drinks which i think PaladinValer put here) - what's your tipple?

[TomUK]

:yawn:

Half past midnight and i'm going to head to bed.

[AveMaria]

I should be in bed soon, but I'm all wired. I think it's time to get some writing done . . .

What does a girl have to do to get a latte in this place? :yum:

[PaladinValer]

A new thread means a new room!

And having a bit of official insight to the future of STR, I have used that knowledge to create a new room in our pub:

Ladies and gentle, allow me to cut the tap with the big scissors and open up...the Gaming Room. Here, in this large 26'x30' room, there are all sorts of games, ranging from tabletop RPGs, board games, video games, and, of course, 10 computers all LAN-linked for all your online gaming pleasure.

The future is here...and soon. There were no errors in text in this message (hint hint).

Do we have a snooker table and a dart board?:)

[svdbygrace]

:yawn: :wave:

What a lovely new Alehouse! :)

[PaladinValer]

**Builds a billiards room**

**Installs 4 dart boards in the main bar**

**Installs 3 dart boards in the billiards room**

**Installs 2 snookers tables in the billiards room**

**Installs a "gaming hall" with craps, black jack, poker, roullette, slots, and a perfect fascimile of the The Price is Right Big Wheel**

Good idea, chef. And since the idea was so excellent:

**Installs a 26'x32' grand kitchen with 20 chefs, 4 supervisors, and an assistant**

Enjoy!

Does this mean I am out of a job?:eek:

No, it just means you get to boss them around, I think the title is 'Chief Chef'... ;)

You're still the Royal Chef...you just have a much bigger staff :)

Incidentally, I hope everyone got the "hint hint." I know one of you did (;)), and, by the way, to that individual, WE NEED TO GET IN TOUCH AGAIN. To the rest of you, the future of STR is near...be prepared!

What, you've never been in the Alehouse? :eek: <hides some clutter under a chair, brushes away some dust off the bar, looks frantically around to see if it looks halfway tidy in here>

Welcome, enjoy your time here :)

Okay, a new clue about the future...

Think two letters; don't be deceived.
One or the other above,
And one is not the 4th.
There is only one mistake above,
You can surely see:
For there is no repeat of it,
It that is essential to language.

Oh, and riddles...that's a third clue...lots of riddles going on in the future ;)

:o this is going to keep me awake tonight!

I can't stand riddles! Please give us another clue!

[PaladinValer]

Hint: look at the first line; it is what the second line is referring to (obviously though, you knew that).

Notice that it is divided into two sets of three words.

Look at the first letters of the words, and reread that line.

Is there a nice quiet room for naptime in this Alehouse?

Yep! A whole new STR cool thing!

Th tw le do be de

Just the first letter. I bolded them for you.

Now read carefully. To be generous, I'll bold the important stuff:

Think two letters. If I said the first letter in the clue, what two letters could the riddle be speaking of? :)

Easter, in other words.

Now now...no crying. You'll be happy when you're the first to figure the riddle out! :hug:

Well, I do have my two kids home with me today, as it is the Easter holidays. Consequently, my time is not my own. :sigh:

Anyway, I've been busting my tiny brain about that confounded riddle...

[artrx]

I don't have Publisher, nor does my husband. I thought I could do something on photoshop and adapt it, maybe not. Hmmm, I do have a friend who has Publisher however... But then I'd have to be tutored in how to use it as well.

[artrx]

....I'd really be more comfortable just drawing one out the old fashioned way....but thats not very practical if i need a bunch of copies! also I was hoping to use parts of a photo or two...

[Andy Broadley]

Hi everyone.

Been rather quiet round here last night.

Been rather quiet round here last night.

CF was down for 8 hours

CF was down for 8 hours

Yes, I since found that out.

Seems like Erwin has a greta deal of work ahead of him

[Andy Broadley]

Yes, I since found that out.

Seems like Erwin has a greta deal of work ahead of him

The other problem facing Erwin at the moment is that by moving to a new server host (which will hopefully make the site faster and more reliable), we will double our running costs (see Erwins thread in Announcements)/

At the moment it costs 10p (16c) a day to be a Cf site supporter.

How much is Cf worth to you?

[SirTimothy]

As soon as I hit 18, I'm buying Site Supporter. I can't get my own paypal til then.

Just so you all don't think I'm a total idiot...

I always thought it was plain old motherly advice: "always wear underwear", and presumably without any safety pins in case you get into an accident. ;)

Naomi is hereby nominated to ask Tom if he has underwear on each time he comes into the Alehouse:D

[Ethan_Fetch]

Yoo-Hoo®

[Naomi4Christ]

What is it?

[Andy Broadley]

I'll stick to Cotes de Gascogne

Theakstons Bitter for me please

[PaladinValer]

Its enriched chocolate milk.

[Ethan_Fetch]

Yoo-Hoo® is a chocolate flavored beverage popular in the American south.

It contains no dairy, nor is it carbonated, so It's a bit like chocolate flavored kool-aid, except it's opaque and has nearly the consistency of milk.

It also comes in strawberry.

It's not nearly as bad as it sounds.

[Naomi4Christ]

That's a relief! :D

It really doesn't sound appropriate for an Alehouse though.

Can't we tempt you with something more traditional?

Good late Morning!

Have you ever used Publisher to make things like cards or leaflets? I find it really easy and can make quite high quality stuff with it.

My husband DID have Publisher on his computer and it's 10X easier!!! Thanx for making me look for it.:clap: I'm also simplifing my ideas.

I also like your character higgs, but Velma really doesn't do you justice:P .

I'd have a Cape Cod- As a friend used to say, it's after 12pm somewhere in the world.

Wow

[TomUK]

Pint, anyone?

Would love one, but not until Sunday. :cry:

[Naomi4Christ]

Given up for Lent?

How about a pint of lemonade then? Or is it pints in general that you have given up.

BTW, Andy asked me to check that your underpants were in order.

[TomUK]

Given up for Lent?



Sort of.

I concluded that there was not a chance in hell that i could give up alcohol totally, so i decided to give up drinking in unlicensed premises. :blush:

[TomUK]

BTW, Andy asked me to check that your underpants were in order.

:D

I'm home for Easter at the moment so i just bought back a huge bin bag of around 30 pairs of somewhat 'fragrant' boxers!

I'm home for Easter at the moment so i just bought back a huge bin bag of around 30 pairs of somewhat 'fragrant' boxers!

What a way to greet your mother

[higgs2]

My son was just invited to sing a solo for the Maundy Thursday service! Not at our church though, but for the Methodists :D

[Naomi4Christ]

Well done, Master Higgs :)

Neat-o!!! :)

[Redstiletto]

coolness

You sure change your clothes a lot, Redstiletto! :D

[Redstiletto]

I get a new outfit every day.

[TomUK]

I get a new outfit every day.

Women!:D

[karen freeinchristman]

I get a new outfit every day.

That would be great in real life... :sigh:

[Redstiletto]

I know, I could only wish.

[PaladinValer]

You'll be able to in the future...

...in a way ;)

Now...how about any more guesses on that riddle? Remember: by Sunday, all will be revealed, but I'll make getting the right answer sweeter:

1000 blessings to the one who gets it right!

or, for the ladies, 1000 blessings-worth of clothing and jewels from the CF marketplace ;)

[artrx]

Hi everyone!

I get a new outfit every day.

...speaking of shopping, I just got 6 shirts, 2 capris and a pr. of shorts all for $93! I'm psyched, considering it's all done in one night, in one store and probably the last until September. My "shopping" days were over about 15 years and 25lbs ago :P .

I just recieved a mailing from the Episcopal Church and the Visual Arts news letter. There was a piece about an aerial sculpture installation done by the church community of St. Paul's, Greenville, NC. It's called Taking Flight and it uses paper and material doves bearing prayer requests circling to the ceiling. A beautiful idea. ecva@app.campaignmonitor.com

...as for that riddle...:scratch:

[Andy Broadley]

Morning everyone

[Andy Broadley]

Oh, I almost forgot.

Received some rather startling news when I got home last night.

I'm gonna be a grandad. Well. sort of.

Mels youngest daughter found out yesterday that she is pregnant.

The baby is due in December, we get married in September, so when the baby is born in December, I will, technically at least, be a grandfather.

At 40:( :D

Wow! You will be a great grandfather, Andy! (I don't mean you'll be a great-grandfather, I mean you'll be a GREAT grandfather! :) )

[Andy Broadley]

Wow! You will be a great grandfather, Andy! (I don't mean you'll be a great-grandfather, I mean you'll be a GREAT grandfather! :) )

Grand kids are cool. You get to give 'em back:D

[PaladinValer]

Congrads...and so young!

Why, you don't look a day older 37 ;)

[Andy Broadley]

lol. Thanks buddy:D

[artrx]

Good Morning!

Grand kids are cool. You get to give 'em back:D

So my parents said until one teenage grandson decided/needed to move in. Now they get to be parents again, and in a way they never had to be before. Grandparents are precious gifts. :holy:

[Andy Broadley]

Good Morning!

oh, I'm sure you will be ready for that, Andy! At 40, you should be a wisdom pro ;) . Aren't we all? :cool: :P

[Redstiletto]

Congrats Andy!

[Andy Broadley]

Thank you

[TomUK]

Congratulations Andy.

I was going to send you a zimmer frame from the armoury but sadly they don't sell them, so this'll have to do instead.

Maybe there is a cardigan and a pipe

And a flat cap :clap:

[PaladinValer]

Just a friendly reminder: the first to get the riddle gets 1,000 blessings if they get it right before Pascha (Easter).

And Colabomb gets a bonus if he participates in the Future...I shant forget!

[karen freeinchristman]

something strange about this computer at home - I can't win at Mili & Tary very easily compared to my computer at work. :confused:

[Redstiletto]

I dont think its the computer

Sometimes I am lucky sometimes I am not.

[TomUK]

Paladinvaler, am i anywhere near close yet?

[PaladinValer]

**eats off more of his fingers**

Read the riddle and THINK!

Or else with too many missing fingers, you won't be able to participate in the Future! :(

[karen freeinchristman]

I think it's something to do with a new feature like a games room or something.

[Redstiletto]

Your crazy Paladin, I kind of like it.

[PaladinValer]

Karen's close!

[karen freeinchristman]

Karen's close!

Wahoo! That's good enough for me, as long as I'm close, I'm happy!


So, when can we expect this change to happen?

[SirTimothy]

Argh, I've got Flanders and Swann's "First and Second Law" running round my brain...

*runs over to the Alehouse piano and says* "Repeat after me... The First law of thermodynamics, heat is work and work is heat...."

Play us a song, Timothy! :)

I was listening to Tim Hughes in the car on the way to work...

"Lift up his name, to the sound of singing
Lift up his name in all the Earth
Lift up your voice - and give him glory
For he is worthy to be praised
He is worthy to be praised!"

[SirTimothy]

Hmmm... *runs a huge trill up and down the piano*


"A bold hippopotamus was standing one day, on the banks of the cool shalimar. He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay, by the light of the evening star. Away on the hilltop sat combing her hair, his fair hippopotamime maid. This hippopopotamus was no ignoramus and sang her this sweet serenade...."

*loud descending bass octaves...*

"Mud, mud, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood, so follow me follow, down to the hollow, and there let us wallow in glorious mud!"

[SirTimothy]

I hate that song, by the way, Karen. Trained singers/a choir can do it very well, but in a church where half the congregation is a beat behind... *shudders*. There are some songs (I can only imagine, MWS' Agnus Dei, etc) which no congregation should ever butcher.

[Ethan_Fetch]

Back to beverages...

Hmm, if you have no Yoo-Hoo®, how about some...

Oh. :hug:




I am too warm... my office doesn't have enough ventilation.

Its ok, they already turned the air on in the office

Hi Nic.

Nurse told me off. Gotta totally change my diet.

[karen freeinchristman]

It's not easy, though, is it.

I've been eating way too many refined carbohydrates (i.e. cakes).

She asked me what I'd had for breakfast.

You should have seen her face when I said sausage and bacon. Thought I'd better not tell her about the black pudding.

Porridge from now on, then, huh?

[TomUK]

This is for you Andy...

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't
waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up
your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can
extend the life ofyour car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?
Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay
and corn. And whatare these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more
than an efficientmechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.
Need grain? Eat chicken.Beef is also a good source of field grass
(green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your
recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine,
thatmeans they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even
more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. So,
bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to
one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular
exerciseprogram?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!. Foods are fried these days in vegetable
oil. Infact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more
vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You
should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO. Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the
best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

[Redstiletto]

sausage and bacon?? And black pudding???

(PS.. if the pudding is black doesnt that mean it is really really moldy??))

I cant even stomach taht much meat in one day, let alone in one sitting.

[karen freeinchristman]

This is for you Andy...


:D That was great, Tom!

[karen freeinchristman]

(PS.. if the pudding is black doesnt that mean it is really really moldy??))

Psssst... Nic... DON'T ASK ABOUT BLACK PUDDING!:sick:

[Redstiletto]

(Ok Karen)

Umm... scratch the question about the black pudding, I got it all taken care of... *cough cough*

[higgs2]

So, up at the top of the screen, there are a bunch of identical blonde girls in white robes holding hands and staring off in the distance. :eek: they are freeking me out...

[PaladinValer]

Karen, the Future ("change") begins on Easter Sunday (Pascha)...a fitting time.

Now, I wanna see more educated guesses!

More educated guesses!

We only have a couple more days!

(PV, I think that if you want better guesses, you have to come up with a new clue!)

[higgs2]

now they're gone!!! :eek:

uhhh?...what riddle?...it's a British thing isn't it...

[artrx]

Do you remember the Stepford Wives????:eek:

Karen, all riddles are easy...it simply that we often are looking either too hard or too softly.

Nothing wrong with your brain :)

So, he sang like an angel, my 8 year old son. I wasn't the only one crying. All the verses to "Were you there" with piano accompaniment. Poised as could be. I will never forget it as long as I live :)

Hello

Hi Tom how are you?

[TomUK]

I'm very well thankyou. My two nephews are around at the moment so we're all having a very nice day!

[TomUK]

How are you?

[RedneckAnglican]

wow...i guess everyone is at Good Friday services...it's sure been quiet here today...

[PaladinValer]

I got back a while ago. It was excellent.

[higgs2]

wow...i guess everyone is at Good Friday services...it's sure been quiet here today...
yep, just got back :0

[Andy Broadley]

Good morning folks.

Hope everyone is having a good Easter.

I know that we are pretty much sad at the moment as we dwell upon the awful reality of just what we did to the Son of God.

But hang in there, tomorrow is coming....

[PaladinValer]

24 hours left until the Future is announced!

So get those brain juices flowing! Not much time left before the 1,000 blessings prize slips away!

[Andy Broadley]

The announcement of the future is indeed due in 24 hours.

The future is JESUS

The announcement?


HE IS RISEN

[higgs2]

Hi.

[PaladinValer]

LOL. Too true :)

However, I was referring to the answer of the riddle :)

[Andy Broadley]

I'm no good at sorting out riddles.

I am content to forgo the reward (I'd have only put it in the 1611 Bank anyway) and wait for your announcement tomorrow.

[Redstiletto]

I am still stumped. I am no good at these riddles. :(

[karen freeinchristman]

I am still stumped. I am no good at these riddles. :(

Me neither. Tomorrow when we see what the new development in STR actually is, we will either think, "Oh, I should have got that", or "Oh, is that it?" PaladinValer has built up our expectations so high, we're bound to be disappointed!

[Redstiletto]

This is very true.

[svdbygrace]

The announcement of the future is indeed due in 24 hours.

The future is JESUS

The announcement?


HE IS RISEN
:thumbsup:

[PaladinValer]

Ah, but you are better than you think you all are, with a great deal of potential...

...the Future will prove that and may even help you reach it...in a fun and imaginative way :)

Anyway, only 20 minutes until the new Dr. Who starts!

(I think I have it right this time:D )

thanks...rub it in...I haven't gotten to watch it for about 3 weeks...

[karen freeinchristman]

thanks...rub it in...I haven't gotten to watch it for about 3 weeks...

Well, if it helps any, I haven't been able to watch it yet tonight because Harry Potter was on at the same time, and my kids wanted to watch that, so we have taped Dr. Who, and will watch it later on. Probably doesn't help any. :sorry:

[svdbygrace]

Harry Potter! :doh: It's always on. :(

[SirTimothy]

Before I go to bed:

Χριστος Ανεστι!

[Andy Broadley]

The new series of Dr Who is pretty darned good. Gonna take a few episodes to fully get used to Tennant as opposed to Ecclestone, but it was good all the same.

I saw the first few minutes but had to stop watching as our easter vigil was scheduled at the same time - how rude!
