How about the frog and bucket?

Chris · « **Reply #3 on:** October 13, 2008, 02:10:03 PM »

Markje · « **Reply #4 on:** October 13, 2008, 02:11:41 PM »

Hey Moby, you spotted the new room yet?

Brasscasing · « **Reply #9 on:** October 13, 2008, 06:22:34 PM »

What about the Pub in the old square in Manchester we visited, Manny. Ste had the name of it, I've forgotten again.

That pub deseves honourable mention at least.

Brass

Hi Guys, yeah I could start a dutch room of my own, but I'd be talking to myself and my shadow mostly.

Maybe we could group them all together and call it the Commonwealth ? Maybe a bad idea as I have no idea what bobif talks about.

Find something with crown and royal ,I know we are always surrounded by HRH and all the royalty stuff. Than again it may be a better idea to find a national theme and run with it.

(minutes later)
Hmm, that was a load of crap, nothing worth a damn in this entire post.... I'll leave you be

MND · « **Reply #14 on:** October 15, 2008, 03:16:25 AM »

cock and ball is a beauty we have a few of those pubs over here in Adelaide

You could also throw in a little Russian flavour and call it the Roudy Kremlin

sparky114 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 27, 2008, 06:08:57 AM »

So hows the old Island then guys?

Had to have a laugh last night whilst talking to a couple of Russians, they were talking about if Russia devalued there rouble to help with the economic crisis would England and America follow suit to level the playing field. i told him no hope of that happening

I said he did not need to worry about good old blighty because we have a healthy amount of Russian women here now and we will survive anything

Well, the Pound is trading against the USD at $1.54 /£1 - down over 30% in two months - so it looks like we "devalued" anyway .. Gordon Brown has announced Keynsian plans to spend our way out of recession and the strong pound is no more !!!

Manny · « **Reply #17 on:** October 27, 2008, 08:45:29 AM »

Thats pretty chronic actually. I was in the bank today, and a woman wanted some dollars, and they offered her $1-48 to the £1.

Looks like we need to stop spending in dollars and start selling in them.

42 Rubles/£1 and €1-23/£1 today I noticed. We have laughed at the Yanks with their Peso dollars, now we have Peso Pounds.

sparky114 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 27, 2008, 09:20:09 AM »

So The island is afloat but only just then !!!!!!!

Got 27.8 roubles to the dollar today here

Atm gave me 43 roubles to the pound

sparky114 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 03, 2008, 12:42:57 AM »

Hey Brit pack

Bit quiet in this room, what are you all up too, or are we still in deep depression?

Or like Manny keeping the little woman happy, 3k on decorating

I don't know where is sense of adventure tell her she could have had a nice holiday in the sun for that money
