Nooooo I"m humming Don't stop me now.

youtu.be...

A shame my local doesn't have a jukebox. Mobile and bluetooth speaker needed when the preverbial hits the fan I guess.

Ah my local has a jukebox and 'Don't stop me now' is going on if I'm there and it's missiles on the way, can't get to loved ones in time type of gig.
...gotta finish your game of pool as well obvs.

Oh, it's 'winner stays on' at the pool table so who owns the 50 pence sat ready? You're up next.
Have a bit of WW111 pub banter while I seven ball you.

Shh, we may still have to sneak Gortex in because Sharon the barmaid is a bit of a grass.

A VAT on the slate please, Dave

I guess we'll see (ahem) After the first strike
Will the 'others' follow through on retaliating on launch platforms
The ironically named aircraft carrier, The Donald Cook, is currently un the Med
That's a pretty symbolic launching platform/potential target


.....
C'mon cue up !
You stripes or spots ?

a reply to: Cassi3l

Meh, Putin doesn't want to live in a bunker existing, he'd rather play pool and talk about wrestling bears with a double voka, neat, and chilled like Siberia.
...and I'm stripes mate, shouldn't have had that last Sambuca if you've forgotten already


EDIT
It's yellow or red not stripes n spots in Britain these days, but my local is still stripes n spots...the pool table is as old as the records in the jukebox lol

Your attitude, that is shared by many unfortunately, is why the world will never change in a good way.

Suck down your suds, and continue to be willfully apathetic. You have every right to be. However, as in many threads where levity trumps rational thinking, you can DEFINITELY see who will survive a crisis and those that will be force fed their doom.

Interesting thoughts
I have my own plans for any eventuality, but living in fear is not one of them.
Especially when I have no control over the wider geo-political events. Just keep an eye open...like my cat chillin on the sofa.

EDIT
I've put a pint behind the bar for you

Probably my age, but my first thought was Arfur's local, rather than Shaun's

a reply to: CornishCeltGuy

I'd chug on a few super chilled vodkas with Putin.
"Did the US really land on the Moon Vlad?"
Chug a Vodka ...
"And another thing, these Spies that get whacked. Porton Down by any chance?"

I'd do shots with Putin anyday, bet he'd be a right laugh, more fun than May for sure!

Rather than riding the gravy train, He drives the bugger. Toot toot. Come on Ivan.

I'd love to see him in a fight with pretty boy Macron, my money is on Putin, heck add Trudeau in the ring at the same time, I reckon he'd do them both.
