Brendan

Can't quite remember the first pint I ever bought, it was probably in about 1993/4 (date wise not ?1993/4). I do remember when I was a student 96-2000ish they would have 99cents a beer parties. Which converted into pommy money is about sixpence.

Sorry Sean I've imbedded the vids. I will post the links too.

Bollicks! I've gone and called myself that dam girls name an'all.

Ah cheers Sean. Didn't see your post there. Was too busy talking to myself.

Not sure brenda but here's one that encapsulates the moment. Sublime - 40 oz to freedom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIuOLU_iKLA

Oi listen here. What the chuff has chuffing happened to the chuffing music room? There used to be a whole stream of rubbish music on a Friday to keep me entertained while I sit around gagging for that first sweet pint of the weekend.

Sorry wrong thread. That post was meant as a reply to his on the train perv thread.

Hang on, I have a tissue somewhere if you need it.

This made me laugh http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/politics-headlines/he's-a-self%11made-billionaire-and-you're-a-sleazy-twat%2c-everyone-tells-mandelson-200902191590/ Horribly true.

Pish, chilli oil, shmilliy oil I carry a bottle of Tabasco around in my bag for such occasions.

ahh. Is it less likely to get you teased by your mates than the other option?

By that do you mean, the outcome of properly and eloquently arranged phrases or expensive and not necessarily legal?

I would counsel against taking offence to having your spelling corrected. I?m dyslexic and went to school before dyslexia was fashionable. I just got called stupid and sent to the back of the class, diddums. So I realised I would have to teach myself to read and write and beat them at their spelling game. And just to spit in the eye of my teachers and fellow students I made the decision to become better informed than them too.* This didn?t prove very popular and I got called stupid and sent to the back of the class again but at least I had a smug sense of self satisfaction about it. Point being if nobody had pointed out that I was getting it wrong I would have carried on getting it wrong. So don?t get whiny get better or perhaps sarcastic or maybe lunch as it is almost noon. P.s. This post is not directed at anyone in particular and I don?t want to get into any fights. It?s Friday and I?m Switzerland. *I also made a point of doing things like writing properly constructed sentences that begin with ?and?. Just to piss them off.

Oh, I thought that was why they put a sharp bit on pencils.

I?ve always been met with polite surprise when I have gone back after being undercharged. Although the 2 times I can remember doing so in the last few years it has been at a small local shop and in a pub where the waitress forgot to charge me for something. It?s probably in big chain shops where the staff may just get annoyed. It is understandable I suppose. I can?t imagine it would bother me much if I worked for Sainsbury?s and they lost out on a fiver.

Did you call him a cunt?

Nah, kneecap him. You?ll do a better job when you are calm and have your wits about you.

There?s an advert on the tube for a place in Harley Street that sells knockers. Not sure if they do knobs though. You would probably have to ask.

Yeah. Gagging.

I don't think anyone said it was.

There?s a place near where I grew up in SA called, Daggafontein which translated into English is, Marijuana Springs. There is also a Wankie in Matabeleland in Zimbabwe. Although in latter years they have tried to hide their embarrassment by ?Africanising? it to Hwange. But it will always be Wankie.

So you're moving to the Gowlett then?

The idea is known as "naked streets". They have used similar things in Europe for a number of years to differing effect. Most notably in the Netherlands where it has been very successful. The emphasis there has been on taking away signs and restrictions for the motorists specifically forcing them to be aware of where they are and what is around them.

Pedant.
