You'd better no' get any ideas about stealing ma sheep, Moss Trooper. They're the only things that offer any entertainment on those long, cold, lonely winter nights.

 

1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep, 4... zzzzzzz

 

NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT

 

Meriadoc raised up his steel bonnet and lookit,

His hand grasped the sword with a nervous embrace;

Oh, welcome, brave foemen,

On earth there are no men

More gallant to meet in the fray or the cache.

Little know you of the hearts I have hidden here;

Little know you of our moss trooper's might;

Naefearjustbeer true,

Pooter and Silverfox too,*

Gentle in manner, but lions in fight.

 

* Naefearjustbeer, Pooter and Silverfox may not support my views but their names do fit well into the verse above. I hope they don't mind.

Aww, c'mon Moss, only one more post before ya off t'ya pit... then we can celebrate your 200th whilst you sleep it off!

There came a man, by middle day,

He spied his sport, and went away;

And brought the king that very night

Who brake my bower, and slew my knight

I appeciate that the term Northerners (As far as us soft bellied prawn cocktail eating Southerners are concerned) applies to anthing above the Watford Gap Services on the M1.

 

But perhaps we should phrase a cache bash in Scotland as the Extreme Nothern where they eat haggis cache bash in future ;-). I respect the proud heritage of the extreme North of our Island and also appreciate that you Scots do not like to be too closely associated with the Wine/Lager quaffing Southerners (or Newcastle Ale quaffing slightly Southerners). Lets face it we are all on the same Island. It's just a bit more scenic (and cold) where you are.

 

Thanks

I think I could handle a trip to Carlise Castle like "Kinmont Willie". However please don't hold me prisoner in Whitehaven, the place is a depressing dump.

 

However you would have to be an English Geocaching official, Moss Trooper, if you want to take me prisoner.

 

I am sure Pooter, Silverfox and other Scottish Cachers would come to my rescue. I hope they make enough noise to suggest their number are huge.

I would come to your rescue if you fed me enough beer! As the name says Naefear!!!!

 

Dont give me too much or I might just end up sleeping it off in a corner somewhere!!!.

 

Must find my map to work out where south is! Is it anywhere near Inverness

Hexham Goal may hold me for a while, but: "In Hexham every market day there is four score or a hundred strong thieves". Therefore all I need is a friend to fill the backend of a stage Cow costume, and we'll be rustled to freedom. Mooo

[+Meriadoc]

Thanks for the offer of support, if a cross border dispute results in my imprisonment, naefearjustbeer.

 

We should really meet up in Edinburgh like our little buddies.

That looks suspiciously like Southern softy's lager they're drinking there

 

=====

There's no such thing as a free lunchbox!

[+Pooter]

Hedgie's over in America so he's really drinking softie's lager now.

[+Meriadoc]

I noticed Silverfox was serving up Girlie beer to our little buddies, but didn't want to criticism him while Dougal was still in his care.

 

However I am sure Silverfox was only acclimatising Dougal and Hedgie for the hardships ahead, and that he drinks, manly, ale (80’) normally. They're both now in the land where urine passes for beer.

[+Pooter]

Unlike when he stayed with me.

 

[+washboy]

That's more like it!

A hedgehog after my own heart, in fact looking at him, he might be a hedgehog after my own beer! Quick, to the fridge!

[Silver fox]

Isnt nice to sit down and read a decent post on the forum Everybody having a good bit of banter and generally enjoying themselves throwing insults in jest (I hope) As to Pooters we picture thing I met him doing a cache once and he was dressed like that I honestly thought it was a picture of himself out caching on a wet Scottish day As for the amount of caches in Scotland we go for QUALITY not quantity

Why do you think I have set him loose on a worldwide beerfest . I can manage the fridge myself without discovering the pesky hog has emptyed it himself through the night. Once he has calmed down a bit and matured he can come home and share the fridge with me

[+Omally]

Hang on: if he has a full bladder from drinking real beer, and he's in the land of canoe-beer, does that mean he could get a job in a brewery over there?!

[+Naefearjustbeer]

Sounds like a good money spinner that one. I can just see it now.

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then

I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of

their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of

work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, It is better

that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and

worry about my liver."

As explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers:

 

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to

his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as

fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest

and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection

is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the

whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. "

"In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the

slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain

cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.

In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells,

making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always

feel smarter after a few beers."
