I was impressed by two things yesterday.
Brie Larson's tits was one ( well two!)
And an art deco pub called The Albion in the fortified town of Conwy was the other!
We have started to have a few hours off in the pub on a weekday afternoon recently. It works very well as I drive ( I hate having a drink in an afternoon) and the Prof can have a few pints of special brewed beer ( not my favourite tipple)
Our chosen venue is the aforementioned real ale pub The Albion which is a delightful and untouched 1920s public house which has scrubbed tables, quality scotch eggs as snacks and doggie treats for customer dogs who are allowed in all rooms!
I took a broadsheet newspaper and Mary and The Prof took a trashy Miss Marple-ish book and in front of a real fire we read then chatted to a couple of fellow drinkers who fell in love with Mary, who sat politely next to me.
Britain does do pubs well, when they do pubs well......
I would have taken Winnie but I think even with the recent hysterectomy she would have found someone to masturbate over!
Anyhow
Later on I dragged The Prof and my sister to see Kong Skull Island which had some of the worst dialogue since Helen Reddy's Nun said of Linda Blair's seriously ill passenger in AIRPORT 75 " The poor kid , she's in Washington and her kidney is in Los Angeles"
Brie Larson's bust was impressively on show though....and I felt almost heterosexual after two hours of it heaving in front of the cameras! It's a shame really she was soo good in the movie Room.

Never a dull moment with you, John. That might be why the Prof loves you so.
ReplyDeleteJenny i drive him bananas
DeleteLarson
ReplyDeletePoint taken
DeleteSmart arse x
ReplyDeleteOh no, I was hoping it was going to be good.
ReplyDeleteIt was so bad it was kindagood,
DeleteI wouldn't mind taking a tipple with you in that pub; looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteand I don't care about boobs.
Brie Larson is quite a hottie..I should go check out those boobs...er, ah...moovies. Yes, that's what I meant.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your pub dates! Looks like a nice place to have a pint (or more)
One thing nice about retirement is that you can enjoy the afternoon and occasionally break rules and have a glass of fine wine before 5pm. Then you go home and take a nap.
ReplyDeleteI do like the pub. Classy.
ReplyDeleteLike that pub! What is it with the male boob obsession? Even you?
ReplyDeleteI'm neither male nor gay but I love boobs!
ReplyDeleteJohn makes them sound like something worth investigating more! :)
DeleteYou're right about Pubs; a really good English Pub is as good as it gets!
ReplyDeleteOr even a good Welsh pub!
DeleteI love a good nipple. Oops, I meant tipple!!!!
ReplyDeleteSad to hear that about Skull Island... i had almost convinced myself to go.... Some of the dialogue in the previews made me question it though... good to know i can still pick out a questionable movie... saves me some money...sorry you spent yours......... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteLike jinxxxygirl above, I'd half-persuaded myself to give 'Kong' a go, just for the effects which look okay from the trailer. I think you've now doused that flame - which was only a weak, spluttery one anyway.
ReplyDeleteOn reflection it is quite a fun movie...and much much better than the overblown gci KING KONG of a few years ago
DeleteYup, others a saying it's good fun too, so I might still pop along. Didn't see the last King Kong as I don't like seeing animals(!) suffer. Last one I saw was the dire 70s version and this sounds a lot better than that.
DeleteGosh, I haven't thought about that before... if we accept (which we ought) that 10%+ of the population is gay, why aren't 10%+ of the films depicting gay perspectives..... and don't tell me that it's because the Bible belt can't cope - or I'll ask why there aren't more biblical-literalist movies ....(Thank God there's aren't!!!)
ReplyDeletePoor Winnie - missed out on an outing again, she would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteYou learn something new every day...I didn't know there was an actress named after a smelly French cheese !
I watched " Room" on TV last night. It was excellent, though I think they should have made more of how they found the shed ( in about 5 minutes) from Jack's whispered description of 3 stops and a skylight!
ReplyDeleteThat pub looks great.
A telling review if the only thing(s) worth mentioning are Brie Larson's breasts. The pub escape sounds perfect (without Winnie).
ReplyDeleteI think it is rare to find a really good pub. They are closing down so fast here in London. The one above looks really nice. I am not fussed about boobs or mens dangly bits or any other sexual part. Maybe now that Winnie has had her hysterectomy she won't have so many sexual urges? :)
ReplyDeleteA pub should be heaving with people and noise. That one doesn't look like it was.
ReplyDeletePublicity shot to show off the deco
DeleteI disagree. I like the pubs with two old men, a dog, a beligerent landlady and nothing louder than a ticking clock.
DeleteOne reading a shite paperback and one reading a broadsheet; it couldn't be just a fucking newspaper could it.
DeleteWho pissed on YOUR chips today?
DeleteI saw the trailer for that film and immediately thought "Wow, that looks shite".
ReplyDeleteThe pub made up for that bad decision by the sound of it though.
The first time I visited the UK, I really hated the dingy, tin and crowded pubs. My second visit to the UK and I was singing in praise of them. They are quite different to our pubs. Does The Prof like having beer foam on his moustache?
ReplyDeleteI could not have got away with a tits-related comment like that, and I am not sure you have either.
ReplyDeleteI was totally lost for words.
DeleteWith the stuff you two write thats rich?
DeleteI could recall many rather vulgar posts both of you have typed! One regarding a smelly bottom almost put me in counselling
Of course, "it's rich", John, as in "impoverished".
DeleteMind you, you of all people seem to be able to deal with excrement, human and animal, better than the rest of us.
Must have missed "smelly bottoms" but do remember Rachel's "skid marks". It constitutes one of those loops playing in your mind one wishes to erase - with little success.

Play nicely ursula
DeleteI thought Bosoms was the name of your vegetable patch. You will have to rename it The Brie Larson Memorial Garden. I wonder if her parents named her Brie because she smelt like soft French cheese at birth. Often new babies are covered in vernix which looks rather like brie.
ReplyDeleteI admit that was my first thought when I saw the picture - can you imagine having to explain why it was named so? Hilarious.
DeleteBosoms suggest nutrition or fertility and besides Mr "Fifty Shades Of" likes them.
DeleteYou're so funny, I can't believe you didn't like the dialogue about the 'skull crawlers,' it's supposed to be a hoot.
ReplyDeleteJohn c Reilly who quoted the skull crawler scene was the best thing in it
DeleteSounds like a fun afternoon
ReplyDeleteSounds a perfect blend of culture and country for you and the Prof. Our local is lovely and dog friendly with dog treats behind the bar, doggy bowls inside and out and for one elderly female Jack Russell, a cushion which has become her own. It can be a bit fraught trying to step over the doggy carpet when you're bringing pints back from the bar and some newcomers find the touch of a cold wet collie nose they didn't know was hiding under the bench a little alarming...
ReplyDeleteWe have a pub here in Guelph called the Albion...ours is a ratty old dive.
ReplyDeleteNo, John, no! Don't go over to the dark side!
ReplyDeleteGod, how sad am I. Saw the word "tits and clicked through. Can I suggest "Lego Batman Movie" - if nothing else the dialogue is adult.
ReplyDeleteU can suggest it, i wont go and see it!
DeleteLOL. We've been wrestling over seeing Kong. The cast is good, but the movie is likely to be a big ole dud (except apparently for a great rack.) LOL
ReplyDeleteIn retrospect i enjoyed it
DeleteI just don't understand why they made another version of Kong. Didn't one come out only ten years ago or so? That pub looks GREAT. I'm impressed Mary stays so calm in pubs. Olga gets all amped up, mostly because of the food all around her. She can be a handful in a pub.
ReplyDeleteIts not a remake its sort of a ' side" version so to speak
DeleteI don't know, John. Nothing beats the "sniffing" scene in the original "King Kong" movie where Kong peels off Fay Wray's clothes, pokes her with his fingers and then smells them. And that was in 1933!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZk0eYOI4tg
Agreed, the original was my favourite of all...including the follow up SON OF KONG and sort of remake MIGHTY JOE YOUNG
DeleteJust started reading your blog, via another one, n am loving it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also partial to an afternoon in the pub, with the pooches x
Welcome sally
DeleteMammerys are essential for all human and animal kind..so its understandable that you find them acceptable - they are a life force ;) Some have a live of their own (thinking Dolly P here) and a source of pride and sometimes discomfit.. but essential all the same
ReplyDeleteooops 'some have a life' not live! but you know what I mean..
DeleteSo....I've never actually touched another gals girls but I can be a little obsessed with them, never having them myself. I love the idea of good size boobs but not enough to have an already well off doctor take my money, cut my skin and shove plastic bags in there.
ReplyDelete~sigh~
If it's 'so bad it's good' ...I might have to rethink and give this film a try. I like the sound The Albion too, we might have to partake .... I like anywhere that welcomes dogs :-)
