BFTD Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 My rule is that cards are for people you care about, that you aren't going to see in person, that have a occasion coming up that's worth celebrating. I don't think I've sent a card in about thirty years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a birthday card for 28p the other week and even that was expensive. ^^^takes the cards out the bin and uses them next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having heard tales of a work colleagues dad the pound would have been sellotaped to the path outside the house and when the birthday boy innocently went to pick it up he'd have got a boot up the arse.

Right across the street from me are some low-hanging tree branches that folk walking along reading their phones walk into.

I don't think I've sent a card in about thirty years. I rip my wife to shreds when she is buying a card for folks birthdays and then she hands it over whilst saying happy birthday to them. Isn't that what the card says but for free? In a fantastic victory for Gaz she once said to me "folk keep important cards like kids 1st birthdays". We were with my mate and his wife when I asked and they said no they had tossed all the 1st birthday cards about a week after the birthday I've challenged her many times to find a card kept 2 weeks after handing it over. Still winning of course 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Someone across the road from me always has a pound coin superglued to the pavement outside their front window. Right across the street from me are some low-hanging tree branches that folk walking along reading their phones walk into. Simple entertainment. One of my favourite high school memories was super gluing a 50p to the floor then laughing at a succession of folk all morning until, in a moment of early teenage glory, the rector came and made a play for the coin not once but twice whilst we all laughed. I was a legend that day. On reflection, it might even have been my peak from which I am still descending. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 On the subject of Baseball, I would generally agree that its boring as f**k but when I was in Japan I got quite into watching it. The chants from the crowd are absolutely mesmerising, I'd like to actually go to a game there before making a final decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not just in the know I've met him. "Banksy" as a public facing entity isn't just one person. I could rattle off a list of 20 artists who have done work as "Banksy". f**k I've got paintings by 3 of them hanging on my walls. It's no big secret but Banksy, the guy that started the whole things name is Robin Gunningham and that name has been out there for years ETA, didn't read any of the other comments and realise all this has been covered Edited September 8, 2020 by ArabianKnight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dick. He's actually quite a good c**t and puts money into a lot of charity projects and recycles a lot of his earnings into ongoing art works. I know he's got a few permanent staff members too on decent salaries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
