I attended a lecture the other day. It wasn’t meant to be a lecture, just a drink with some mates, but whenever Brainbox Brian turns up he always attempts to impart his wisdom upon us.
He told us how living a monochrome life in a kaleidoscopic environment deprives us of the nectarous nature that’s there for the tasting. How we should leave the chill of a blinkered perspective and embrace the warmth that surrounds us.
Well, something like that!
So I bought a colouring book, some crayons and a bar of chocolate, then lit a log fire. Excellent suggestions Brian!

His words worked their magic
So it seems! Cheers, Sadje!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I liked “nectarous nature”
I thought it sounded quite sweet!
Sounds like the perfect date!
It does a bit! Thanks, Tannille.
Profound advice from Brainbox Brian.
P.S. Isn’t there a game called “BrainBox” any relation to Brainbox Brian?
Brian and brain are anagrams. Brillint writing.
I do believe there is, but I doubt there’s a connection as his version would be very boring! As for the anagram, well spotted, I wondered if anyone would notice!
Excellent!
I’m glad he was able to interpret that lecture to his advantage! 🙂
Not exactly what Brian was suggesting, but I totally agree! Cheers, Iain.
Dear Keith,
It does sound like the ideal way to spend an evening. Color on.
Shalom,
Rochelle
It would certainly suit me! Thanks, Rochelle.
Fun story and his mate, though aggravating, had the right idea this time.
At least he kind of understood the message!
p.s. such a cute graphic!
Thanks, Lisa, creating graphics is a large part of the fun for me!
You’re most welcome, Keith 🙂
I think Brian should get the drinks in, then maybe you’ll stay. Does the pub empty as he arrives?
Great picture you’ve created, I am attracted to the chocolate.
I imagine it did, I had a customer at my pub who did just that! Thanks, James.
I think Brainbox Brian would make me want more than chocolate and a fire. Perhaps a dram of whiskey. Well done.
Me too, and not just a wee one! Thanks, Alicia.
Perfectly executed
Thanks so much, Beth.
Great interpretation.
Thanks, Mr B.
I’d crack open a bottle of something too, Brian is an inspiration
Brian has his moments! Cheers!
If you’re doing what you love, it’s not a monochrome existence and if coloring, chocolate and a warm fire is what you love, go for it!
I quite agree, Mimi!
K.I.S.S.
A simple interpretation that’s not that stupid!
Might as well derive something good out a talk like that.
He certainly did that!
oh great, he finally finds his groove. 🙂
All thanks to Brian!
Sounds like a good way to respond to the suggestion. Well done.
That’s what I thought!
Perfect!
As is your kind comment!
Hello Mate, Cute huh? Anyway, did I tell you my grandpa was from London (on my father’s side) my maiden name is Chamberlin & do you know what a Chamberlin is? It’s the King’s butler that dresses him! hahaha- At least that’s what I was told! On mom’s side my grandparents came here from Sicily… & I bet you were there too weren’t ya? Hmmm Anyway, got to get to bed, getting late. Sorry I didn’t make it here Wednesday… I usually poke around on Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays!!! Love Wordless Wednesdays over at Steve’s! Well, have a nice weekend! I’m waiting for my Children 4 & families to descend upon me & the kids run across the street to the park (I don’t see them much, but maybe it’ll be nice & I will be there too). HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
The Lord Chamberlain is indeed the highest-ranking staff member in the royal household! Sounds like you will be very busy, I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun!
Brainbox Brian does have some sound advice then – you just need to interpret what he really means and all is good – nice one Keith 😊
It seems some lectures bear fruit or at least chocolate.
Love the solution! 💞
Brainbox Brian seems to be ubiquitous in every gathering. At least his words didn’t go wasted this time 🙂
thank you Keith, quite the philosopher in this one. Never take life too seriously would be the cure …
Hahahaha oh Brian!
That’s a mouthful of a sentence
Well, I guess Brainbox Brian had a point. Chocolate, crayons and a coloring book sound pretty good right now. 🙂
