THE ELEPHANT IN MY ROOM

Richard's latest post is about him adopting an elephant and wondering where to put it. Don't ask but have a look HERE

I think the lockdown is getting to him and he'll no doubt start taking those drugs that Robert does. (Robert said "I'm on it" in a recent comment.)

Anyway, I've got an elephant in my room.

It all started when I was clearing out tidying the shed and rediscovered my Pilsner Urquel tankard.

Pilsner Urquell was the first pale lager, and the name "pilsner" is often used by its copies. It is characterised by its golden colour and clarity, and was immensely successful: nine out of ten beers produced and consumed in the world are pale lagers based on Pilsner Urquell. The German name, which can be roughly translated into English as "the original source", was adopted as a trademark in 1898.[9]
By 1839 most beer in Bohemia was dark and top fermented. However bottom-fermented lagers were gaining popularity. The people of Plzeň preferred imported cheaper bottom-fermented beers to local top fermented ales.[10] The burghers of Plzeň invested in a new, state-of-the art brewery, the Měšťanský pivovar (Burghers' Brewery), and hired Josef Groll, a Bavarian brewer, to brew a bottom-fermented beer. On 5 October 1842, Groll had a new mash ready and on 11 November 1842, the new beer was first served at the feast of St. Martin markets.[11]
The brewery registered Pilsner Bier B. B. name in 1859.[12] In 1898, they also registered names Original Pilsner Bier 1842, Plzeňský pramen, Prapramen, Měšťanské Plzeňské, Plzeňský pravý zdroj and finally Pilsner Urquell and Plzeňský Prazdroj which are in use today.
Pilsner Urquell is today brewed solely in the Pilsen brewery. It was brewed between 2002 and 2011 in Tychy, Poland[13] and between 2004 and 2017 in Kaluga, Russia.[14]

Thanks Wikipedia.

I thought that this would make a nice addition to the snooker room.

"Think again Matey" said The Old Girl. "That's old and ugly and can't stay there"
I removed the offending item thinking that if that's the criteria it's a wonder that I'm allowed in the snooker room.

I tried a few other places around the house.

The hallway

NOPE

The bathroom

NOPE

The kitchen

NOPE

                                                        The mantlepiece in the lounge

NOPE




I was beginning to think that this is where she would prefer it.........

........before getting the OK for it to go in an alcove in the bedroom largely hidden from sight
