Orange is often said to symbolise courage and creativity

It is uplifting...

It stimulates the appetite, social interaction and even the metabolism

It refers to positivity, energy and warmth

It is a vital colour in the food chain, Vit A, Vit C and so on


Orange is a wonderful colour *Bob*, it even cheered up Rothko for a while

Can lead to controversy in Norn Iron though Charlies.

And of course would be derided by those who had experienced poor service from the portable 'phone company of the same name.

Pondering the former I found myself in a state of some melancholy. I wandered hither and yon, deep in thought and with no mind to any destination. My revery was pulled up short by the sound of amplified music.

I found myself quite by chance and likely as not having passed every other bar on Lordship Lane, outside the Vale.

I can't say that some mystical force had drawn me there. I can't say it hadn't either.

I entered the bar and for some reason and don't ask me why because I'd never even heard of it before, ordered an orange 'juice'.

As the barkeep poured the bright libation I swear I saw a wink of Florida sun spring forth.

Raising the glass to my gorgeous pouting lips, I took a deep draught.


It was OK I suppose, nothing to write home to my cousins about though.

On the other hand it made me feel better about the colour orange.

But the main thing is I'll never go anywhere else from now on but the Vale, for pretty much all my meals and any liquids I might require (unfortunately they're not open for breakfast, I feel a petition coming on!!!).


From now on my motto is 'When life seems of no avail, go to the Vale, there's vail to spare'.

????' date=' just in case you thought I wasn't being serious about orange... thought i better put the record straight, [b']I was[/b]... Colour theory is a fascinating subject and very few people are aware of the direct impact colour has on physical and mental well being...


the human eye can detect over 10 million colours, and each colour has a different impact (I could expand on some to the scientific research that has been done in this area but...)


Interestingly, the brian has no capacity for accurately recording or remebering colour, so keep looking and keep enjoying

    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead 
    • Tried months ago, to get folk together to do something, to say thank you. Been a member of the forum for years and if you had not stepped up, would not be an active  forum. Well administered as well. So from me to you, thanks for keeping it going..  Happy Christmas and blessings and good fortune in 2026 which I am told is The Year of The Horse….
