Talking Rain, Yes I Said Talking Rain

I always thought organic meant tastes like shit, and now I know I was right. This stuff tastes like shit, dissolved in seltzer water. I tasted no citrus whatsoever.:greenface

What does organic mean when it comes to spring water? Wouldn't you thing organic flavor meant no flavor? This reinforces my belief that all organic labeling is just bad marketing.

If your unflavored water tastes like "citrus twist," you have a filtering problem.

OTOH, take the water from your Brita filter pitcher, and some nice, natural orange peel, and twist it into the glass before you pour the water in... there you go. Pretty much organic.

It's sparkling though. So you take the water from your Brita filter, put it through your Soda Stream etc etc

Is there such a thing as unnatural orange peel?

...Unless the orange has been sprayed with pesticides, or the tree has been fed conventional fertilizers.

My love, do you ever dream of, candy coated raindrops?

If rain could talk, what would it say? "Oh hai, I just dropped in to sea you. Water you doing? Going to visit your mudder? Pour woman, her neighbors just keep spouting off. Oh well, I'll come again some other day!"

:)

Rain would say the same thing dogs say when they are barking, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

No no, it's that Prince song.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the talking rain

Talking Rain, Talking Rain...

This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Tell me when the animals strike curious poses - I want it for the LOLcats thread.

Water is not, and cannot be organic. No carbon, no organized life form. It's an inorganic chemical.

You should be a stand up comedian ;)

My mom always said I should be on stage...on the next one out of town. Ba DUM dum.

Are we talking rain or a light drizzle? Mist or a hurricane? What's it gonna be?

Glukk... gag me with an absinthe spoon. Not a fan of that song. I think I should listen to some of the better-fidelity bagpipe selections on YouTube to wash the taste out of my ears.

Not, for instance, those couple of YouTubes shot on top of a windy Scottish mountain-peak recorded with the camera's mike and no wind-cover. Difficult to appreciate the playing if the wind effects wreck the sound.

:)

It had my toe tapping. I love the old 70s songs.

Red, I still want to hear about the new restaurant though. I won't scrutinize the menu too much.

We went to Elephant&Castle instead...where I toasted the English Cellar Dwellars for their thoughtful contributions to the discussion and I ordered the traditionally British sonoma chicken wrap.

added:
keeping with the thread theme....doesnt it rains alot in England?

Looks like a great place to eat!

Their fish and chips comes with tartar sauce. TARTAR SAUCE!

I accuse you of heresy most foul.

Everybody knows that malt vinegar is the appropriate condiment, with an honest salt shaker of course.

BigV warned you what would happen and now it has happened. I'm not paying attention to any more of your posts until you at least go to ƒucking ßermuda and get some real fish and chips from a real British son of the Monarch!

lol

I saw those fish and chips (yum)!

Nope, tartar sauce is the correct condiment for a plate of fish & chips.
But by all that's holy - where are the peas!!!

Plated fish is always served with peas. And bread and butter for the traditionalists.

I'm not going to pick the menu apart as not being sufficiently English - I know many of the dishes in "American-style" places here would be unrecognisable to you. So instead I'll just say thanks for the link. It made me smile - and not in a patronising way.

they need to hold the goddamned coleslaw.

I think this explains all of the problems with the Elephant and Castle grub (er ... culinary services ...) ...

ETA ...

summer salads

Nope. "Salad"? We don't do "salad". Not in a pub. Not reely.

You can get salad in a pub. It's that little sprig of flowery looking lettuce, slice of cucumber and two cherry tomatoes, that sits at the side of the real food :P

I put the summer salads on ignore -I figured they were just trolling that menu...

I don't want to like Creed, but i do ..mostly. that song sucks, though. Just not up to standard, feels like an album-filler/ half of a double B-side. Shame.

It's wayyy better than this though...

This reminds me of when I was young teens and BBC Radio 1 had a competition to win a trip to NYC -my life's dream at that point. You had to name 7 songs with New york on the title. I managed 6 ...and Arthur's theme. I didn't win.

[YOUTUBE]v3Jv-_JLXMs[/YOUTUBE]

(probably less of a challenge for Americnas on the 10s than Brits in the 80s....)

Damn.
Can you remember the songs you came up with?

gawd no. Apart from Arthur's theme. i dunno, give me a few. Meanwhikle from that era:

[YOUTUBE]CXkoNN0YzOo[/YOUTUBE]

New York new york -Sinatra, of course.

[YOUTUBE]izeDRfkyMAQ[/YOUTUBE]

In a New York minute Henley/Eagles

Sting Englishman in New York...

I'm thinking maybe I was 17 because now I have a half memory of this song being the catalyst for the competition... but I thought I was younger....

I'm 40 this yer, I'm allowed to start being forgetful, no? Get off my.... green flat thing...
