VeryBerryCherry

Ooh, I love when I find a new proper word for things! Mine was Billy Idol's, Hot in the City. I thought it was, Hot Lemon City, and that the song was about hot lemon curd!

Hi Franki, How's the book going? Have you bee nable to get straight into it and engrossed? I have yet to even get a copy! *slaps own wrist* "Naughty VBC!"

And here's some tautologous bushisms too... "It's very important for folks to understand that when there's more trade, there's more commerce." ?George W. Bush, at the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, April 21, 2001 "If affirmative action means what I just described, what I'm for, then I'm for it." ?George W. Bush, during the third presidential debate, St. Louis, Mo., October 18, 2000 ". . . the past is over." ?George W. Bush, after making up with John McCain, Dallas Morning News, May 10, 2000

This is pretty addictive, isn't it! Oh SeanMG, that made me spit my risotto out laughing. And no worries about the hijack David, I completely agree on the tautologies, they are my ultimate pet hate, reflecting back reverse backwards two twins GGGGrrrrrrr

I was sitting on the bus the other day and this guy was doing his best Dom Joly impression to the whole carriage... "HELLO, I'M ON THE TRAIN!!!!" No doubt you've all been there. After having to contend with not being able to have a conversation with the person next to me, above the deafening window shakin' laughter. We look around to see the whole carriage thinking exactly the same thing. Just when I thought I could hold my frustration no more, as we heard the whole details of his father's intention to arrange a family meeting for his arranged marriage, he finishes with; "Yeh, but I don't think I can go through with it, you know what I mean? You know how much I hate being under the microphone!" My frustration turned to pure laughter at this point and the whole carriage errupted. Have you ever come across any funny malapropisms like this?

I've finally sobered up... So who was who again? I think i'm going to have to try again the 2nd time around to remember who the feck everyone is!

More plans for alcohol- goody!

Either is good for me - can't wait. I might even have sobered up by then. I'll have to bring Mr VBC along too to meet you all.

Oh my, yes i too was a the elder of two girls. My little sister being a couple of years younger. And I had a little bro 10 years younger, and like someone said, the rivalry was never an issue with the little one. But, I have to agree that it really is something you have to go through and learn to deal with as it teaches you a lot about real life in the long run, which isn't helpful when you are the parent having to deal with it, I know. I remember always feeling I was getting the blame. But my mum would say that I am the eldest and therefore should be more responsible. So I agree that perhaps a more grown-up one-on-one activity as a priviledge for behaving more responsibly would work a treat. And also if the younger is given a job suitable for their age, explain to the older that they have been given a job and that when they get older they will get more responsiblities too (so that they understand, if they question how fair it is). My mum was also very good at ignoring our squabbles and never getting involved, which meant that with no attention it usually died down when there wasn't an audience.

I was thinking about this the other day. I was hungover (quel suprise) and needed my usual hangover cure, when I suddenly realised that there was no Mc Toilet around here. I have to say, that is quite impressive. I have been travelling in China and found that even in the remotest parts, there was always the reassuring Golden Arches. It was the only place you could order food with a menu in English!

Yeah the left over kebab splattered all over the living room this morning wasn't a site I needed to see after the amount I drank! How did yours go down? and OH GOD! For those of you who feel like I do this am and are doing the Barry run... GOOD LUCK! I want to see some photos

I've just got back from what I have to say, has been a great night out. i am sitting here, happy, with a big smile and a chiken shish kebab and chips. You were all really lovely and I can't wait until the next one! Night xXx

Now the time is near, the thought of heading out alone to meet all you rabble is a little daunting... I thing I need some beer bravery before heading out! Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried meeting you all, you all seem reasonably sane >:D<. It's just the thought of wandering in like a complete Billy-no-mates-loner with not a clue as to who I'm looking for!

what sort of time are people making it there for?

Hi, completely new and gullible to the area and these "events" Anyone fancy enlightening me on what usually goes on, without scaring me away from public East D nights out forever?
