That's Stone Age thinking to assume the grotesques are gifted with the wisdom of the gods.

That's Stone Age thinking to assume the grotesques are gifted with the wisdom of the gods.

Norths in full effect, pub's on fire!

So for them that's wondering about the above comment, let me tell you a story.

We're sitting in the committee room enjoying a few drinks and Mrs M5k notices a fallen candle has caused a wooden mirror frame to ignite.

Fire quickly extinguished.

Que people saying if it weren't for us, the pub could have burnt down.

Rooms a bit smoky so we open a door for air.

Gets cold so we shut the door.

Room fills up with smoke again.

Someone (mon?) notices smoke still coming from behind the mirror. I take a look and call people over to admire the orange glow when you blow under the mirror. I'm fixated, it's a beautiful glow.

Cgg points out that this means the pubs still on fire. I send cgg to the bar to raise the alarm before remembering he's French.

I run to the bar to find him saying to the barman not to be alarmed, sorry to disturb you, something I wanted to mention etc. When I but in with what he means is, have you got a fire extinguisher because your pubs on fire. Que loss of bowel control from the barman.

Other barman comes running in and starts staring at the choice of extinguishers, we tell him to grab the co2 and the fire is soon extinguished. We suggest removing the mirror and he runs away.

Out come the toolkits and the mirror is removed in no time, we look at the damage, minimal. If it weren't for us though, the whole pub would have burnt down.

Barman returns with a screwdriver, after a pat on the back for effort he's on the defensive about opening doors and fire safety. Let's call it shock at the pub nearly burning down.

Deputy interim manager arrives, "I told him not to call me unless the pub was on fire". We explain about the fallen candle, the panel fire behind the mirror and why we had dismantled his pub. He thanked us for stopping his pub from burning by down.

His mind turned to the paperwork, we wandered off.

We didn't stop his pub burning down, we are Norths, it's our pub.

Good job. I wouldn't want my postcard to be returned because the Flask isn't a valid address.

!!!

Norths are and always will be so hot right now. Well done on not letting the pub burn down.

How do make Ramseye's post a sticky? Dare I say it, pics?

Strong work. Did you get a pint out of it?
