FWIW, the correct way is push it in and pull it out; and that's hopefully what their partners will do forevermore to prevent another one of their offspring being born and being damaged from whiplash. Oh how I miss those days!! I laugh when I see new parents struggling with prams/buggies and I don't even feel bad about it. It's an amazing achievement for some people to safely leave the house in the morning. Edited January 26, 2017 by Tommy Nooka 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lassie did it today and the wee one lunged forward. She ended up screaming due to the fright I'd imagine. Mental behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the kind of self gratification I detest. Just because you say something over and over, doesn't make it so. It's the way they compensate themselves for Glasgow not being the Capital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Bruce Robertson Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Arseholes (English) wankers, that like to portray Scots as tight fisted, then when you walk into a bar predominantly infested with Englishmen, every single one of them are drinking the lower relative of pish water (Fosters) just because it's on happy hour for half price. I'm still drinking Stella at £10 a pint. c***s! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DI Bruce Robertson Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Have noticed this. The great lie. Obviously there are tight folk on both sides but I work with a lot of English guys and there are a good few noticably tight ones. They always ask what's "on special, happy hour" it boils my piss! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Rounds are shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Rounds are shite Rounds are only shite if you drink with arseholes. There's etiquette and decency to be adhered to and it works gloriously. Groups that are together that don't drink in rounds should be asked to leave any drinking establishment. Folk that buy one drink and pay by card should be booted in the pie and banned from public places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a relief you're not a complete lost cause with this. Rounds are the answer though if everyone is sound and knows what's expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounds are the answer though if everyone is sound and knows what's expected. Exactly this- there is an unwritten rule surrounding rounds- if it's your round- pay for it. Also, never up-step the cost of your drink unless it's your round. Used to drink with a French guy (at work) who would regularly drink brandy & an espresso on my round, then switch back to lager/beer for himself when he was buying. Oh how I laughed when I broke his arm in 3 places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change of drink is only acceptable after a few rounds, i.e. stopping having pints and going on to halves. No grumbles with that. Lager then espresso and a brandy then back to lager is taking the piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Bruce Robertson Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 His arm was broken in 3 places in one move, not deliberately, but he threw a snowball at me whilst I was pishing, the resultant chase & rugby tackle ended in his hospitalisation & sling. Actually, not sure if any of this makes sense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 They're ok if you're drinking Stella and they're drinking Fosters. Doesn't matter what you're drinking with DA, pubes are going in it regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groups that are together that don't drink in rounds should be asked to leave any drinking establishment. Was at a work training course in the arse end of nowhere a few years ago. The only thing to do at night after the meal was sit in the hotel bar with the rest of the likeminded group (8 of us) and drink!7 rounds in and, after knocking back his 7 pints, the solitary Englishman in the group stood up and announced that he was off up to bed. Became apparent immediately the next round was due that he'd scarpered ahead of his turn. This hotel didn't need a signature to add a charge to your room, so I added a round to his room. (With the giggling agreement of the other 6). Forgot about it until we checked out the next day and heard him in a stand up argument about the additional charges on his room. I was very happy with my evening's work and the group remained heroically silent when questioned by him on many occasions subsequently. Arsehole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that may have been the plan originally, but the state he got into when settling his bill made us want to play dumb as long as possible. His level of anger was a joy to behold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
