Who'd you rather have a beer with?
« on: April 22, 2011, 12:56:47 AM »
After all the pissing and moaning in certain other threads, it's time to get serious...

It's a question we all need to consider seriously...

With whom would you prefer to blow the froth of a coldie (or three)?

Bartender! a poll, methinks... :-)

Mike.

I voted for the mad Scotsman, I've had many a good night in Scottish pubs. Make mine a OVD and Pepsi, hold the ice.

What's a certain "alternative os"? That could be anything. OSX is an alternative to windows and so is linux :confused:

Hmmm... i sense a bit of sucking up going on here.

That option is referring to Piru.

Dave Haynie has done nothing for the Amiga Community for the last 10 years has he?

So the only real choices are Franko or Piru.

Franko Rools Okay !
It's all about the art of having a beer.  A Rich scottsman is sort of like a middle class Aussie or Yank yeah?  It's gotta be good.  (soz for the racist stereotypes)
And the tales Franko could tell...  I think I got a Bro crush coming on.....

Not that Piru couldn't down a few and tell a tale...  Just worried about the shouts: He might say I copied his idea......

That's an understatement. In Scotland electricity and basic plumbing are for the higher classed privileged only, but in Australia even the lower class has it readily available :rolleyes:

Definitely Franko. I drink beer with that other guy all the time... he's not as interesting as you'd think. But he sure can drink.

That other guy? You are either talking about Piru or yourself. Drinking with yourself in the 3rd degree is weird :mickeymouse:

Depends on how much beer you already drank, I guess.

Hmm... not sure if I'm allowed to vote here, but that hasn't stopped me in the past... :)

Ok.. let's see...

Myself: Nah tried that once, nothing but arguments and we both got into a fight with ourselves and I ended up with a black eye... :( (mind you you should have seen the state of the other me)... ;)

Piru: Woah... too scary man... those evil wee piercing eyes peeping out from behind those milk bottle bottoms give me that "I'm being stared at by a psycho feeling", plus I'd probably fall asleep during one if his lectures on copyright issues, think I'll pass on that one.. :eek:

HazyDave: Any guy who wears a syrup of figs like that in public is fine by me... :D
Not to mention the fact that it weren't for guys like him I would never have had 30 years of sheer joy & pleasure using all me old Commodore machines...
(Plus I might be able to talk him into selling me all his old Commodore goodies if I get him drunk enough... :))

On the other hand as I haven't had a drink now for over 7 years, reckon after one pint I could be talking to Barry and he'd be my new best fwend forever... :D

WTF? You have a lot to answer for dear sir :madashell:

If you're not careful you might turn all serious like Karlos :eek:

Don't worry Franko, you will become a moderator in no time  ;)

The last time I went round to Franko's house for a visit he took me to the local pub.  I said I don't drink alcohol, sorry mate.  He said "Oh that is quite alright, I will drink enough for the both of us".

That is the kind of friend that Franko is, always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. :D
