New Thread time. It's a blank canvas, go fill it with stuff Chums...

Ewan

The challenge is about a, Danger Man, who also done time as the prisoner and Madness did a version of the theme :-)

Prez

10/3/2013 10:38:25 am

Too late mate, that challenge was revealed ages ago:))

Is anyone suffering today after the three game work out last night?

Neil

11/3/2013 12:55:22 pm

SUFFERING !!!!!
The pain the pain!
Actually its ok when I avoid going up stairs.
Or down stairs.
Or tying my laces.
Or walking.
Or breathing.
Or mast.......
Anyway it was a fantastic night out. Don't know why we haven't done it before but it really should be added to the c-ale-nder as a regular chum event.

And yes the Prez guessed correctly. The mystery theme was Danger Man.

Neil

11/3/2013 01:15:26 pm

Time for another.
I expect this one to be guessed very quickly.

Prez

11/3/2013 02:02:25 pm

If it's gonna be answered quickly I better have a go then.

I'll tell you what it is tomorrow people.

Neil

11/3/2013 04:08:19 pm

Correct once again.
Am I making these too easy?
Ok one more for tonight.
This ones not exactly hard when we were brought up watching this sort of stuff.

More details on Facebook or ask in the Napper.

Prez

15/3/2013 02:22:35 pm

So was it the Adventure Game?

Neil

16/3/2013 06:01:22 am

Absolutely 100% correct.

Neil

16/3/2013 08:33:13 am

New Challenge.
Check it out chums :)

Prez

16/3/2013 09:40:43 am

That's a difficult one.

Whoever gets it will be head of the class, or some such like.

Prez

22/3/2013 10:23:18 pm

*Sigh* I meant Top Of The Form....

Shaggy

22/3/2013 01:59:23 pm

Who,s all coming along to Milly & Amy's house warming tomorrow night?

Prez

22/3/2013 10:24:27 pm

Enough Ouzo, I'm off to bed.

Neil

26/3/2013 02:49:25 pm

New challenge. This is a spooky one m O.O m

Ewan

Prez

2/4/2013 06:28:06 pm

Well the New Challenge has got me stumped, any ideas anyone?

NNN

3/4/2013 05:34:49 am

Nice to see pics of all of the events I missed over xmas period due to poorliness (oh, ok, man flu!) & the house warming pics, again missed, due to self inflicted misery of a hangover this time....I need rubbed out & drawn again. Hope to see some of you at Gareths 40th

Neil

3/4/2013 01:11:04 pm

Some nice pics on here but how bloody wasted do I look at Mill n' Amy's party? Been pretty busy lately but will hopefully be back on the chum track by next Saturday.
Ok now a clue to the challenge according to Wiki.
............................is a television drama for children produced by HTV in 1976 and broadcast on the United Kingdom's ITV network in January and February 1977

7/4/2013 03:47:53 pm

'Children Of The Stones', chum.

ITT

7/4/2013 03:52:06 pm

It's me, ITT!!! Bloody touchscreen keypads!

Prez

7/4/2013 03:58:00 pm

Damn it you're right. I remember the series but didn't remember the tune.

Nicky

4/4/2013 03:37:37 pm

Happy Birthday to Judith xXXx great pics and of Milly and Amy's housewarming. Looks like Wed is my regular chum day at the moment great to see lots of Chums xXXx

C'mon Mr quiz man play us another tune....

Nicky

9/4/2013 02:37:44 pm

So having just watched Neil's centrifuge experiment as Milgram would say 'put a man in a white coat........'
Thinking about it I wear a white coat at work every day but so does everyone else so put lots of people in lots of white coats = lots of authority figures with no one to boss about :-/

Neil

9/4/2013 03:15:25 pm

Its funny how we automatically trust anyone if they're wearing a white coat. (They're here to help you Neil just get in the van with the nice men)
Well done to IU/ITT for guessing the challenge (ahh the wonders of you tube). Just for that there will be no clues this time.
New challenge chums. Check it out.

Prez

9/4/2013 04:48:56 pm

Got it.

An 80's classic.

John Christopher wrote the very good books that the series were based on. I still have them.

I have just looked at my recently unpacked book collection and I am missing the second book of the three.

Damn. I used to have them all.

:)

Neil

10/4/2013 03:58:23 pm

Ok chums the prez knows but does anyone else?
I'll leave it on for now.
In the mean time there's another one to have a go at.

Neil

9/4/2013 03:20:31 pm

And Ewan I do like the Trek band picture. Like I always say
SPOCK ROCKS!

Neil

10/4/2013 04:32:18 pm

Tune in to Nerdvana for some really serious Sci-Fi.
Watch the sky chums.

Good cheap chum day return on Sunday and no fall outs (apart from the contents of Jovi's pants) (oh and some musical differences) Lets do it again soon :)

Prez

13/5/2013 04:24:16 pm

Did anyone who had a McDonald's feel a wee bit poorly? I had a non-diabetic, non-alcohol puking fest for most of the next day.

But it was a grand day oot indeed, made even better for dropping £10 on the Napper quiz machine after we got back:)

A web page will be appearing shortly with editorial rights for all to upload the pics.

Neil

13/5/2013 04:28:38 pm

No puking but plenty of guffing from all involved. In fact I dropped more than a tenner this morning :)

Prez

13/5/2013 04:52:38 pm

I was not in a good place about 5:00 this morning. As Ian says I was shaking like a Sh*tting Dog.

Sigh mebby I'm just getting old...

I'm doing the Penrith page now. Online in 20 mins or so:)

Neil

14/5/2013 03:26:47 am

It's been a while but there's a new challenge in the music room.

Prez

14/5/2013 05:15:06 pm

'To bake an apple pie you must first create the universe'.

My first drinking Club was the Sagan's Slaves in honour of this very, very great man and this gobsmackingly profound TV series.

Your best challenge tune yet!

Neil

16/5/2013 06:10:31 pm

Absolutely 100% correct.
Well it looks like Weebly isn't going to let me load any audio today so I'll have to take a break from the challenge for now.

Neil

26/5/2013 04:08:12 pm

Just nicked Jonathan's Penrith photos off facebook and added them to ours.
Are we still waiting for someone elses?

Prez

26/5/2013 04:19:19 pm

Maka's.

Neil

26/5/2013 04:09:59 pm

Many thanks to Dee for his hospitality last night.
It was a good crowd in a good place.
More please.

Prez

26/5/2013 04:20:32 pm

Another Chumly night indeed.

I will make a page for the pics soon.

Nicky

1/6/2013 01:33:52 pm

Yes an excellent night at Dee's great chumly times the walk home to the breaking dawn was magical too :-)
Excellent towel usage there Ewan
I'm still thinking of Jays chicken :-)

Neil

31/5/2013 03:58:33 pm

FINALLY I've been able to upload a new tune so the challenge is back on :)

Prez

3/6/2013 01:36:10 pm

There's a slight technical hitch with the newly uploaded Penrith pics; you can't enlarge them.

Nicky can you try to upload them again or stick them to me at the next Chum club?

.x

Prez

3/6/2013 01:38:21 pm

Despite my best efforts to gain an unfair advantage and pump Neil for clues for this weeks challenge; I have no idea what it is.

He said it was a 1980's show if that helps anyone...

Prez

10/6/2013 05:06:14 pm

No one has mentioned the Chum away day on the 23rd. Is it still happening?

I'm back in Carlisle by the way.

Ewan

11/6/2013 10:33:29 am

Yep still on as i mentioned it on sat night but not planned as yet

Neil

13/6/2013 05:43:26 pm

Ok I can see this music challenge has proved too difficult even for our greatest minds.
Time for a new one.
Check it out in the music room.

Neil

13/6/2013 05:46:16 pm

In case anyone hadn't noticed.
There will be a small chumly party coming up next month.
See Neil's nerdvana for more details.

The Prez

13/6/2013 06:00:11 pm

I know it.

The Book-tower

An excellent ITV program with Tom baker as 'tower master' for a while.

The tune is part of Julian Lloyd Webber's variations. for an additional point what other ITV program used (and still uses) one of the other variations?

:)

Neil

13/6/2013 06:11:03 pm

Well that didn't take long :)
The theme sounds a little like Treasure Hunt with Anneka (fat arse) Rice but it also sounds a lot like the South Bank Show at the end. Am I close?

Prez

13/6/2013 06:27:02 pm

Yup, the South Bank Show.

There's some good youtube stuff with him and Gary Moore playing all the variations with a bunch of other serious musicos.

Go here....

It is on Wednesday, sorry for the confusion caused.

I believe Brazilian will be Thursday?????????????

Thursday damn it...bit stoned last night....

Neil

1/7/2013 10:27:41 am

So does that mean Wednesday club is unaffected?
I too am a tad confused!
Wibble Wibble Hat Stand Fish Tank etc........

Nicky

Wednesday Chum afternoon is unaffected and goes on as always :-)
Thursday is the meat eating night :-) 5pm woodys

Very spooky photos Giz reminds me of Rubycon great music :-)

Prez

7/7/2013 10:34:43 am

Hmmm still no idea as to the latest Music Room TV challenge.

It sounds 'fishy', there was a 70/80s US thing that was about a marine man type thingy, is that it?

Someone like Bill Bixby was in it?

Neil

9/7/2013 04:05:23 pm

MMM I think the marine man type thingy you mean was "The man from Atlantis" with Patrick Duffy. The year is the same though 1977. This one replaced "Gemini Man" with Ben Murphy when it didn't do so well in the ratings.
Another clue. Imagine "Lost" if it was filmed in the 70's.

EWAN

Also have people looked at Ewan's joke section yet?

Prez

21/7/2013 03:37:39 pm

Excellent night last night Chums. A real success and congrats to Neil for making it better and better each year.

Also some new stuff to the site - see the home page for updates...

Neil

21/7/2013 04:33:17 pm

Thanks to all the chums that attended last night.
Sensational!!
Same time next year?
Oh and after the big tidy (in case anyone's interested)
58 assorted bottles
110 beer cans
Whos bright idea were the party poppers??
I'd do it all again tomorrow :)

Nicky

22/7/2013 01:34:33 pm

Great thanks.

I notice your picture doesn't lead to your home page but your button does.

Is this a mistake? It might confuse people as usually the button and the pic open the same page.

Gizmo

24/7/2013 07:23:46 pm

Been playing late into the night with the new backgrounds but I feel possibly that they're too "busy"
Lovely and psychedelic but back to basics I think
check the chain locker and critique

Prez

25/7/2013 05:57:29 pm

I think the new pics are ace.

I'm sure one of them could have been used as an early Klamhydia album in the late 60's Psychedelic.

Does anyone fancy 'researching' it?...ITT?

Verily twas a chumly eve of chilled ale, merry japes and raillery.
Same again on Saturday?

14/8/2013 06:03:41 pm

heres am odd thing. Im sitting in the grounds of st albans cathedral its a warm balmy night im full of real ale from a pub older than the trip to jerusalem with a joint in my hand. Nowt changes it seems. Actually it does im writing this on a mobile phone. Cock ing hell the bell just donged and i nearly wet myself. Chum chum chum.

NNN

16/8/2013 07:36:44 am

I almost spat a blueberry out laughing Prez!

Prez

17/8/2013 06:54:30 pm

Is that a euphemism NNN? :P

Sounds like piles?

Day three in Kentland. I have already commented that first impressions of Margate were it was Botcheragte-by-the-sea. Tired, rundown and in need of a good wash (just like me). Yesterday was taken up with the wedding so we did nowt but drink and eat all day and then the same again at night. The venue was a hotel so had the usual John Smiths rubbish. I hacked it as long as I could then went on Guinness after that got too heavy I tried Fosters lager then ended up on Krone-nbourg 1664 Sorry Chums I will of course offer to resign my Prez-ship for joining the light side but the Smiths really did taste like ....err John Smiths.

I have Zeitgeisted a Celebrity Stealth Chumming that took place whilst on the Amber nectar. Tried to explain to the other guests what Stealth Chumming was...not easy as the beautiful northern accent proves quite a handicap down here,

Today we went paddling and did seasidey stuff as Cheryl's birthday treat (she really is that easily pleased) then to see Deal Castle. Off to Bodiam Castle and Hastings tomorrow. After that Dorset here we come.

I hope the Chum night went well start chummenting any craick as I am out of the loop 'darn sarf' as they say here.

Finally Cheryl has asked me to say a big thank you to Ewan and Ruth and to Nicky and the rest of the Chums for her cards etc. She had fun opening them all by the seaside.

Chum, chum chum...

Prez

17/8/2013 06:58:40 pm

The connection here is rubbish I will upload the pic later if I get the chance.

Nicky

19/8/2013 01:05:42 pm

Oh you do like to be beside the seaside oh you do like to be beside the seeeeaaaaaa.... etc etc ... Pleased Cheryl had a nice birthday, I'm sure she will make an excellent job of her gift and not go out of the lines :-)
Oh and watch out for those Gulls I am reliably informed the ones with the pink legs are herrings don't let them get yer chips x

Nicky

19/8/2013 01:07:06 pm

PS cant believe it is a year since Edinburgh where does the time go?

Prez

19/8/2013 01:32:32 pm

Thanks Nicky.

Arrived in Dorchester and god has it changed! I remember a sleepy little town but we are staying in a new development in a once underused area.

Off for food then a trip down beer-memory lane... I hope i am not as shocked by the change in the pubs as i was in the town.

Prez

19/8/2013 06:50:20 pm

Good news everyone (as professor Farnesworth would say) at least two of the pubs here are still 'as god intended'

Went to the Tom Browns tonight (as a Fan of JMF's Flashman books I gravitated towards this pub in the 80's because of all the memorabilia and the fact it brews its own ales in the back of the pub.

They still Brew Tom Brown and Flashman's Clout both excellent and now a brew called Durdle Door (6%)it is still a smashing boozer.

I walked past my most favorite pub here Goldies/ Brougham Arms and it looked even better. I am saving visiting there until tomorrow night.

We are going to Maiden Castle tomorrow, then Cerne Abbas (the chalk man with the big willy) the latter has a pub nearby that claims to be the narrowest in England so will get a tape measure and see if our one in Manchester can beat it.

BTW we had some time in Winchester and had a meal in the pub that claimed to be the oldest 'bar' in England. That's three I have been in

Ooops bed time.

Chum chum chum...

NNN

5/9/2013 08:25:23 am

What's your favourite phrase for a motto then Chums? I think there is one that is head and shoulders above the rest but I'm keeping quiet until I get some feedback and discussion going.

All very amusing choices I'm sure. How about including the translations.

Andy

15/9/2013 10:28:26 am

'Nunc est bibendum' - Now is the time to drink.
This gets my vote.

Prez

15/9/2013 11:07:36 am

Only problem is when you Google translate it, it gives it as ....

'Now is a regional'

I hear the sound of a gladius being unsheathed....

Andy

15/9/2013 12:13:59 pm

How bizarre, I rechecked the spelling and it is seems to be pucker.

Here's some blurb on the origin of the saying (not quite sure what the Michelin Man is doing on it though...)

Prez

Yes It's from Horace and is a famous quote. It seems Google hasn't heard of it. Silly Google. There would be little danger of it being misunderstood as it is a famous phrase.

Gizmo

15/9/2013 11:55:38 pm

In dubio - Cerevisiam - When in doubt have another beer
Sodali, sodali, sodali - Chum, chum, chum
Vitae vivendum - bibens dolor sit - Life is for living - beer is for drinking
Chums ad vitam - Non enim Navitatis - Chums are for life - not just for Xmas

You're welcome:)

Right I've got it figured out.
New challenge anyone?

Stumped:(

Prez

16/9/2013 06:36:15 pm

But I am playing with my new telly (42" LED HD) so am a bit distracted with all sorts of clever things it can do. My old one was 32" and @ 5-6 years old and a hell of a lot has changed.

I used to have a Heath Robinson ad hoc network that had developed piecemeal that required constant tweaking but tonight I have networked a 1TB NAS drive, 1 Windows Vista computer, two Windows 8 computers, an OS 10 Apple Mac and a Humax HDD recorder effortlessly(ish). It has really smooth iPlayer and you tube.

It's all so...so... well behaved. I may never have to leave the house again)

Excellent updates.

Nice to have you (and Neil) back. the site was stagnating a tad.

BTW I meant to ask. ITT has done some research work on Klymydia and may have 'discovered' a couple of new albums.Didn't they use some of your pics during their Psychaedelic days for their covers?

Hello all chums from this chum in Mexico

Prez

17/9/2013 10:55:29 am

Hola señor McEwan. ¿Cómo es en México?

I was hoping to get a mexican chumment.

We got a text from Nicky but frankly this beats it:)

Just to make you feel happy it is gray, dull and raining here.

I have you down as in Mexico City and on your mobile phone. Is that right?

You were on the page for 1 minute(s) 28 second too:)

What are your thoughts on Mexico mate?

El Chummo, el Chummo, el Chummo!

Prez

17/9/2013 10:58:49 am

Oh you were here on Sunday too Ewan:)

ewan

17/9/2013 03:36:28 pm

Not in Mexico city its few hours drive from here i am told on the carabean coast and the Mexicas are very chumly

Prez

17/9/2013 03:52:12 pm

Great to hear from you. Better than a postcard. It must be tea time there is it? You must be a few hours behind us.

Yup, just checked you are 6 hours behind.

Disd you see you are no longer the Zeitgeist moment? I removed you at 1 minute past your birthday and replaced you with Voyager One as it is the first thing to have reached interstellar space.

Neil

18/9/2013 03:46:00 pm

Quid enim bonum tibi est. Good for what ails you.
Grando in omni cervisie. All hail the ale.
Inter adepto. Get amongst. (one for Jovi)
Non agitare. Don't panic.
Unum in via. One for the road.
Suus mea sextarius. Mines a pint.

Prez

18/9/2013 04:01:42 pm

All good calls

I like Don't Panic and all hail the ale especially. Although the latter sound too much like my previous drinking club's motto (the High Church Of Big Beers) which was All 'ale the Big Beers!

Prez

19/9/2013 02:31:12 pm

So many mottos but there can be only one as the McLeod once said.

I will let the list sit for another week until the holiday Chums return and let them have there say they streamline it down to four or five. It is up to each Chum to post something positive about any they like. Those that receive no or negative comments won't get to the short list.

Andy

20/9/2013 08:46:22 am

Speaking of holiday Chums, any word from Ewan lately? Hope the hurricane that is doing the rounds in Mexico hasn't affected Mr & Mrs Mc.

Not coming back. Just been to Chichenitza wow what can i say but this chum impress ed .

Cool.
Its funny that the Mayans didn't think it would still be there in 2013 or anything else for that matter.
Any human sacrifices going on today?

mike

22/9/2013 03:42:36 pm

I do like the all hail the ale and the get amongst mottos and my one regret in life is not going to chickenpizza when we went to mexico

Neil

22/9/2013 06:41:03 pm

From the list of chum mottos these are my favourite five.
Because they are:
a. Easy to pronounce when drunk.
b. Actually roll off the tongue as mottos should.
c. Make us sound more intelligent and therefore more attractive.
d. Actually project a positive message to any would be chums as
to our aims and dreams in life.
e. Life? Don't talk to me about life
f. Its all bollocks. They're short and sweet and I just like the sound of them.
Carpe cervisiam - Seize the beer.
Nunc est bibendum - Now is the time to drink.
Inter adepto.- Get amongst.
Bibo ergo sum - I drink, therefore I am.
In dubio cerevisiam - When in doubt have another beer.

ewan

HOLLLLLAAAAAAAAA chums we are back home from sunny Spain xXXx Maka loved the lovely fizzy lager over there and probably isn't really looking forward to that dark stuff he used to drink so its a pint of San Miguel for him or rather half to three quarters once you include that lovely frothy 2 inch head Manyana amigos xXXx

Welcome home chums. Hope you had fun. The flock is slowly returning.
Man cave prez? More like Man bridge. I like the Okudagrams. Shame you don't have a proper captain's chair with things that go beep beep on it. What's behind the mysterious door? Ten forward?

Prez

25/9/2013 06:24:39 pm

The Glass door leads to a turbo shaft giving access to the rest of the house. Behind the black blinds is a place of strange new worlrds with new life and new civilisations...or the back garden as it's also known.

Prez

25/9/2013 06:59:00 pm

Speaking of beep beep the TNG Okudograms are actually pretty cool screen savers. I have uploaded a video of them on the home page - have a listen to it. It drives the wife bonkers:)

Prez

26/9/2013 04:22:41 pm

I also then removed the video as it didn't play properly....grrrr.

I would like to thank all of the chums for making my birthday night out just perfect.

The buffet was a lovely idea really appreciated, truly yummy nosh

Thanks for all of the lovely presents and all of the silly presents great fun (our rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody topped the Wayne's world version by miles) but best of all I had a great night surrounded by lots and lots of chums and I know the chums that couldn't make it were there in spirit (probably tequila)

I am feeling very spoiled and very lucky and slightly hung over so mission accomplished heres to the next 50 years

Thanks again Chums love ya xXXx Chum Chum Chum !!!

One of the things that was discussed was having another Laserquest event.

There are at least four or five of us who were talking about it and are up for it. Anyone else?

We need your translations too chum. When they are translated by different web pages they often don't translate how the poster intended.

Also try translating them from Latin to English to make sure they work both ways.
