Brian + H & H
Light Refreshments
Well here we are 2020 is marching on even as we speak, the evenings are pulling out and the festivities are all but a memory.π
Funny I should mention the festivities as the village Christmas tree and decorations are taken down each year by a jovial bunch of volunteers. Some of the volunteers are the most highly qualified drinkers the village has ever assembled for this task.
Leading this operation is our own Hoof who is the one blessed with brains in these type of demanding situations. ππ‘π‘π‘
Horace is more of a hands on type of person driving the telehandler and wielding a chainsaw in that order. Before you ask, yes he wears all the necessary protective clothing especially the cut resistant trousers which have the ability to instantly stall a chainsaw running at full power should it slip, after all Horace needs to look after his wedding tackle.πβοΈ (Check these trousers out on You Tube)
Hoof always contacts the local electricity board and gets permission to disconnect the lights from the tree, they normally ask βat watt time are you going to do itβ Hoof responds we donβt want any resistance to this request or there may be a revolt by the lights committee.π‘π‘π‘β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈπππ
Once the lights and tree are down, we take a break for elevenses and the ladies of the WI very kindly provide trays of food led by their chairperson Bertha Thomas, and before you ask she does not have a brother called (no I am not going to say that name, stop it)βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈπ°π°π°π°π°
Following these very welcome refreshments, there is a scurry of activity and the village is cleared of its Christmas decorations for another year.
Now as you all know 2019 was the year of the pig according to the Chinese zodiac, so it was felt that this achievement by Horace should be celebrated, yes a debrief of his years activities needed to be carried out in the pub.π· π―π¨
As is the norm in our local pub following such an achievement much beer is thrown around the place. Also the world record for drinking the yard of ale is often broken during the celebrations. A few sea chanties are sung and everyone behaves in a very sensible manner.πΊπΊπΊπΊπΊπ€π€πΈπ·πΊπ
Having been such a busy day Horace decided to sit down with some of his chums at a table in the pub and hold court.
Then a customer looks over and walks towards Horace and asks βdoes your dog biteβ Horace responded my dog has never bitten anyone, so the man put his hand down to stroke the dog and it bit right into his hand.
βHere said the man, you told me your dog doesnβt biteβ Horace said βthatβs not my dogβ.πΆπ
