Not me, but a good friend of mine (I know no-one will buy that) projectile vomited into a girls permed hair on the dancefloor of a club, moments after confessing his adoration for her by mouthing the words to 'Girlfriend' by N-Sync and perforing a frankly ridiculous breakdance. I think he still buys her drinks to this day to conceal the deep shame he feels.

OHMYGOD sweetie!


Is that why you refer to me as "Coleen" when you are drunk?


If I had known I would have worn my gold spangley boob tube to the last forum drinks!

My friends and I used to throw ourselves through people's immaculate hedges when inebriated. Gardeners spend hours trimming their bushes, so it must have been deeply upsetting to awake in the morning to find teenager-shaped holes in them.

Ref The Nolans - I still watch Loose Women on occasion - oh blimey there's another dirty secret. They do just pop out.


I once gained access to an RAF base and its aircraft by waving my credit card at the security guard as we drove past, my RAF mates waving their genuine ID cards.


We then took photos of the even then, rather ancient Canberra bombers. Challenged by an Officer one of the RAF mates claimed that we were from "28 Squadron" (didnt exist) and were here for an exercise and had permission to take photos. Satisfied, the Steely Eyed Killer walked off and we legged it.

No it wasn't. Don't even talk to me CitizenED. Some things cannot be forgiven. Socks with sandals indeed. Did you get dressed in the dark?

During a painting lesson at school (I was 5-6 years old), we were told to paint ourselves. So with a lovely fresh dollop of paint I painted a green tie on my school shirt and a bow tie in my hair and stood very proudly in front of my untouched canvas.


I knew at the time it was wrong, but I couldn?t resist taking the teachers words literarily.


Sorry Mrs Dawkins and to my mum.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
