Act your age?

[bigbadwolf]

In that case I'll dispatch 'meals on wheels' ASAP.

[bigbadwolf]

Sorry, 'weed on wheels'.

[Jah Lush]

Ha! I'm not THAT old but probably drank more than my age in pints. I'm rough as old boots today.

Jah's your regular Bollinger kind of guy and, of course, drinks all round!

I'm so kebabbed most the time that I act twice my age: dozing in the afternoons etc.

Nice one Jah, thats a lot of dosh.

I feel my age - at 41 - when I'm out with younger mates and they talk of spending ?100-?200 on a night out which seems to be a regular occurance for them. I can get completely shitfaced for ?50. Maybe ?100+ per night is normal for people without mortgage and kids.

Having said that I, with some friends, spent ?175 each on a meal just before christmas - I guess thats the grown up way to blow a load of money. And even then I was still hungry and had a cornish pasty on the way home. But then it was christmas.

Must have been some meal! ?177 per head!

I like the fact that I need 2 hours sleep at 54;-)

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Mick Mac did you have any idea that the meal was going to cost ?178 per head?

Seems exorbitant...The Ivy?;-)

Still prowling the streets after dark Tony? One of my lieutenants said he saw you stealing change from the toll booth on College rd last night. I wouldn't normally mind this type of scallywagery but for christ sake Tony put some clothes on first eh.

Doubt it - the Ivy really isn't particularly expensive. Tasting menu (with matching wines) at Le Gavroche or Pied a Terre perhaps?

[Mick Mac]

It was the tasting menu at Lindsay House - I knew we would top the ?100 mark as once a year we go out and it always does - but although the tasting menu came with wine, one friend thought the restaurant selection was not right for one of the courses !! - hence we bought more wine. The tasting menu with selected wine, one half glass per course, was ?117, before other wine and brandy,coffee etc. I was not too surprised at the final bill, but we will probably do something a little less expensive next year.

The point I was making is that young people seem to be able to do that amount of money on a night out drinking these days, which amazes me, thats where I feel may age, as a homeowner you tend to have to budget for these big nights out, but I guess I've had my time....

As I don't drink and drive Jeremy, its a long way for me to go on foot, but who knows....

Far enough Mick but at ?179 per head...:'(:)

[Mick Mac]

TLS - Isn't it more surprising that people can do a similar amount of money on a night out drinking in west in bars though. At least I get a decent culinary experience for my money.

Fellow forumite Jah spent ?400 on a weekend, just enjoying himself presumably, thats what young people do.

True Mick, its just that ?180 you know what I'm saying and "per head"....

Youth is wasted on the Young we know that, Mick...sigh

[Mick Mac]

Actually TLS - it was not per head it was between 5 of us - me and my 4 alter egos - does not seem so expensive now.

[bigbadwolf]

If I'm getting pissed in the pub with the lads on a friday, usually the crapitol in fozzy hill but sometimes the Bishop on LL then I'll usually spend a maximum of ?40 inluding burger and bus home.

Out on the town.

Bottle of Vodka at ?6.50 from sainsburys between two.

2 or 3 jars in the spoons on leicster square ?10.

2 grams of marching powder ?100 shared out between 4=?25 each.

Few bottles of stabalising fluid in the appointed venue, xy amount.

176 night bus home.

?60 to 70 max.

Fair do's Wolfie, its certainly cheaper than Mick's ?181 though....

[Mick Mac]

Cheers Tony - if you keep adding ?1 to my bill each time, yes, you will get me to ?200 eventually.

For the record Mick I'm 51 years young. I spent most of it on beer, wine, brandy and whiskey, the rest I squandered.

[Mick Mac]

Oh I see.

I just assume everyone on the forum is younger than me. That's good going Jah - that's really good going.
