"The Shinfield Arms" sounds about as bland as possible.

Too bad they decided on that one.

Black in Different Cultures

In Africa, black represents masculinity and maturity. In the Middle East, the color represents mourning as well as rebirth. It also symbolizes mystery and evil. In Asian countries like China, black is seen as more positive, representing prosperity and good health as well as being the color associated with boys. Feminine energy is symbolized by black in Japan while India looks on it as representing death and rebellion. In South America, it symbolizes masculinity on the positive side, and mourning on the negative side. In Western cultures, it’s also associated with mourning and death, but is also considered a formal and sophisticated color.
Seems in the UK..the word Black and pubs means racism, how ridiculous

Here is some funny ones...

The bucket of blood sounds a lot of....wonder what the hell happened there then....

"The Quiet Woman" and "The Bucket of Blood" both sound like my type of watering holes. :beer:

It used to be an anti-Soviet joke: Thieves broke into the Kremlin but stole nothing of value except next year's election results.

Apparently the joke is coming true on the official website of Californian Republican candidate Larry Elder. The election starts and ends tomorrow (Tuesday), but already today (Monday) they are...
"Have detected" = they have already found fraud in an election that hasn't been conducted yet. To me that sounds more "Third World" than the Californian GOP probably intended.

It's true, I voted twice. Better call the whole thing off.

Trump has been implying that the recall election vote would be rigged as well. Maybe I'm missing something, but how is this a good play for the Republicans? Wouldn't sending this message out just sow resentment and apathy among Republican voters, thus decreasing turnout in future elections because they just assume the election will be rigged anyway?

And for any meaningful election reform, why would Republicans in office pursue that when they got elected with the system as it currently exists?

Because ratcheting up the culture war against liberals is the only thing they can do to connect to their base. Where this will lead is of course something not to think about.

The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town is behind a fridge. lol

The Jolly Taxpayer certainly is! You ever see anyone jolly about having to pay tax?

Yes. Every march.

"Oh great! I just got my tax return refund, yes!! Now since I have this influx of money I wasn't planning for, I'll go buy something dumb that I don't need!"

Basically the same thing. It's like being happy when a school bully takes your lunch money and gives you a dime back. Such generous bullies.

:offtopic:Glad you found it of some use/fun....can tell you about the History....

latest news Marks and Spencer are closing 11 Shops.Stores down due to Brexit....Pants I say....

What are you talking about?

Allow me to translate for you:

"Glad you found it of some use/fun" - she's happy we found her list of breweries/pubs to be amusing

"....can tell you about the History....some day.." - she's lived and she's lived thoroughly - as a result, she could tell us the histories of all of these breweries at some unspecified time in the future

"latest news Marks and Spencer are closing 11 Shops." - Marks and Spencer is a British retailer that is closing 11 shops (in France where Dianne lives, though she doesn't specify that this is where the closings are occuring - source: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58582860) - apparently this also the latest news in France or that Dianne has read

"Stores down due to Brexit...." - apparently, the news is reporting that these stores are closing as a result of financial difficulties incurred by Brexit

"Pants I say...." - 'Pants' is british slang for "rubbish" or "nonsense". Whether Dianne is directing this light invective towards the explanation for the closures or rather simply the closures themselves is, so far, unclear

Thank you.

:laughing: Excellent job!

Marks and Spencer are a kind of icon of retailing in England, with a store in most high streets. They have a good reputation, and are known variously as Marks, M&S or Marks and Sparks. They've been around for a 100 years or more, which is why closures are a news item.

EDIT: to be pedantic, i think I'd translate "Pants" more like: "That's bad! What a shame! Bad luck". "Rubbish/ nonsense" is more like you don't believe someone. Pants = I accept this information, but I don't like it.

I think "pants" is also a sort of in-joke, as Marks and Spencer are also known as being a lingerie store, so it could be that too. Or not.

FYI the way pants is used as a descriptor here and in the UK is literally rubbish. "That show last night was pants."
"I went to a gig and the band were pants."
"Covid is pants."
"My dog is thirsty and pants"
and so on.
Pants = worthless, useless, crap, disappointing and on and on and on.

Hell yeahz gonna get to eat a mammoth burger <3

CNet - Woolly mammoths could walk the Earth again by 2027 if CRISPR startup succeeds

Bring back a long extinct ice age mammal with high-tech scientific methods...only to kill it and eat it...that would be a very human thing to do.

I'll bet that Ted Nugent will be the first in line for a Woolly Mammoth hunting license. :ar_15s:

@ Soundgarden + Trollheart: yeah, I think on reflection, that you are both right about "pants" and it is my correction was wrong. My apologies to Soundgarden.

Rain On Your Parade
Meaning:
The phrase ‘rain on (my) parade‘ is an idiom that means to have one’s enjoyable time be ruined by something, such as hearing disappointing news.

Wait, I thought you were going to share some proverbs, not idioms? :confused:

I hope MicShazam is doing alright.
