General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

In hope to bring a little (more) sunshine into this day for the musical and cycling adventurous tomplum and others,

Jim Beam, on entering The Royal Oak, wanders lugubriously to the bar and in a despondent voice, carefully and politely requests two double whiskeys.
Naturally, in a very hospitable way and showing affability, but obviously being aware that participating in profound conversation could have its consequences, the barman slowly and gently serves Jim his two glasses containing the requested beverage of the man.
On receiving the two glasses, each containing a double whiskey, Jim climbs onto the bar, reaches down, picks up one glass with his right hand and one glass with his left hand - each glass containing a double whiskey - and holds them as high up above his head as his age-related degenerated muscles and joints could possibly muster.
The barman gazes up at Jim aghast and with words which break the deathly silence that had fallen upon the room due to this customers audacity, shouts, 'Hey! What the hell are you doing?'
On hearing this, Jim innocently looks down at the barman, smiles angelically, and in a voice which could charm the birds down from the trees and one which brought thoughts of Louis Armstrong singing 'What A Wonderful World', Jim says, 'I'm just raising my spirits'.
