The Naked Party Thread

I'm going to present a certificate of thanks to a group of 11 & 12-year-old kids who've raised nearly £450 for the charity I work for, by selling second-hand books, a project on which I've been acting as their "real world" mentor. I am SO proud of them... And I feel a little bit like Lord Sugar in The Apprentice.

I love my job... :D

Nice job, Steve. :D
 
I'm also wearing my favourite shirt, a white linen collarless smock-type shirt, that makes me feel a little bit like a swashbuckling pirate.

Today is a good day... :D
 
Good on you mate.
When IS pirate day ?

Exactly a week after my birthday... :D

Not that I'm hinting or anything... ;)
 
I think a fresh pot of coffee is in order.

SUCCESS!!!!
I think I got some awesome pics of the fireworks. Sitting in the park right now waiting for the traffic to clear out. But I'll post them the moment I get home.
Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures. :)

Man, you're making me miss working! I'm so glad the project went well, steve. They sound like a great group of kids.
 
Ugh, I really need to not "lay down for a moment" because I never get back up. :rolleyes: *grumbles* Wretched body. I would love some coffee though. ;) Yeah, back to work today, sadly.

Alright, so it was a lovely day at the park.

The orchestra started playing.

HP, you needn't ask for any coffee when I have it brewing. It's an old-fashioned drip machine, so I start it up and leave it for anyone who would like some. Please, help yourself and enjoy. :)

Great pictures, john!
 
Fireworks here were exciting, when they set the woods behind my house alight!
:eek::eek::eek:
Fortunately the FD was Johnny on the spot and kept it to one or two acres. None of the large oaks were burnt as it was mostly a grass fire, but it was exciting until the FD got a 3" line ran and began dousing the flames.

On the good side, the fire hazzard is down a bit as there is little fuel on the ground now. :)

Now I'm imagining scraggly parrots hanging off me. :eek: :rolleyes:

Lovely pictures, john. :)

Thanks! :D Though I probably should be careful with my posts when I'm half asleep as weird typos get in them. :eek:
 
I've tried it. It's not bad, but Shiner beats it hollow. ;)

Quite a few micros have been bought out by some of the big boys. To their credit, a lot of them (the micros) have resisted going full-on commercial and compromising their craftsmanship. Blue Moon used to be one of those. Used to be. I'm of the mind that, for most of the little guys, once they're bought out it's only a matter of time before they are assimilated into the Borg-like world of domestic "beer" brewing.

Okay, now I'm starting to sound like some kind of conspiracy theorist. :p

But you're probably right. And it all depends on the demographics the big brewers are trying to go after.

I'll give Shiners a try, but all I have ever seen is their Pale Ale.
