ID check at the bishop


Recommended Posts

maybe should be in bed sleeping off a few too many guiness but instead i will rant and rave my grievenaces, so here goes. Was in the Bishop Friday night enjoying a nice evening with a few freinds, my round up, head to bar. Bar tender asks me to ID, fair enough not the first time and my youthful complextion may baffle many a bartender, whip out my driving licence start rattling off my order before i forget, only for the response "so your born in 1982 how old does that make you?", abit taken aback that despite me having a driving licence with a picture of my ugly mug on, clearly stating the dob he still will not serve me, i meekly state "26", he still reluctant but think the people behind me waiting to be served getting just abit annoyed he finally starts getting my order, now i have seen girls/guys a lot younger looking then me served without a bat of an eyelid. Now am i just being paranoid or was he expecting to get a big rise of trying to make a fool of me, to promote his oversized ego or simply he was doing his job. Maybe i am making a mountain out of molehill but Rant over. Good night!

He couldn't count - thought you were 16. Barmen :)

Yeah I'd take it as a compliment. I try to, but it's not so funny when I forget to take out my passport (I don't drive).


Better that, than be 15 and NOT get asked, that would upset me more!


Anyway, don't a few places do that Challenge 21 milarky now?


Not saying you don't look 18, but don't they atry to ask people around the 21 age bracket now too?

Mangoman, if indeeed that is your real name, you appear to have come on here to swank about your youthful looks.

That's all well and good, and long may you continue to be 'carded' as I believe our American chums put it.

But not for too long, surely?

It'll do you no good in the long run in your career at the Foreign Office, where you'll do better to have a 'craggy' and experienced aspect. Take it from one who knows. I have it on the best authority.

Every episode of 'Yes Minister' and 'Yes Prime Minister' is in my possession, and I have learned everything I know about governance from them.

Bon chance, as we diplomats say.

No he isn't. Unless I'm much mistaken, he's plighting his troth. Via Marlboro. Mark my words, there's a proposal on it's way.

Hope we're all invited.

Sending hugs to you both.

Oh Happy days, all invited of course, duty free cigs (Menthol for me) accepted as wedding presents.


Hugs to you too.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
