8MileBU Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Ok, it is petty of me, but I have an instant dislike/mistrust of people who turn their nose up at a pint of Tennents. It's not irrepairable for them, but its not far off it. Same here. f**k all wrong with a good cold pint of Tennents. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan to get work wrapped up by 11. Then have a "romantic" weekend with missus tomorrow and Sunday, work Monday then off for more festivities on Tuesday. Growing old disgracefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 On the A90 at Ellon there are two signs 100m apart. One says 'Old Meldrum' and the other says 'Oldmeldrum'. Even if both are acceptable (which it's not), then it should be consistent at the very least. Stella isn't much stronger than other beers. Most regular lagers are about 5%. Stella is 5.2%. There must be some reason behind it. I'm fine with the occasional sesh on Stella, yet half the volume of Staropramen will almost always give me a nasty hangover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I do something that gets on my own nerves. For years when fuelling up my car I've always tried to get it to stop right on £10.00 or £20.00 as these are the notes I have in my wallet and usually don't have change to pay if I go over by a few pence and don't fancy breaking a tenner or a twenty just to get landed with a load of pocket smash. However, since the advent of the payment card it doesn't really matter if you stop a few pence over or under, yet I can't seem to break the habit of trying to get the pump to stop dead on the £. I always remember that it doesn't matter as soon as I've finished fuelling. Condensing my lifetime weed smoking quota into a few years in my late teens definitely fucked my memory. You do realise that those purple, blue, red, yellow and if you're lucky, green notes in your wallet mean you now live in [emoji1037]? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I can't be the only one reading this as an attractive lassie desperately trying to find feeble excuses to spend time with her cynical, brooding, and (apparently) oblivious co-worker. Throw the girl a bone, FFS. Could be that. My first thought was that she's dyslexic. I had a guy sitting next to me who used to ask me to check his e-mails before he sent them. They were just fucking gibberish, so I had to ask him what he was trying to say, then re-write the e-mails for him before sending.However, your unrequited love angle is definitely more likely. He should definitely try it on. HR will probably be understanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Boghead Ranter pointed that out already you pair of pedantic c***s. It'll take me a few years to get used to it I reckon - I still call them quids which is why I get so many blank looks from shop staff before I realise my mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if you can't even operate a button that stops traffic dead for you then, well, you know... I am not so sure. A four year old might not know that you have to press the button first or you have to wait for the light to turn red for the traffic before you cross. Also, some drivers are just plain stupid and do not slow down when they get near a pelican crossing - and maybe they would not spot a small child. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a snob by any means. I drink Tennents when I'm out but I'm under no illusions that it is a nice lager. Once you're halfway through the first pint you're used to it so it isn't an issue. Stella however... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thought I'd try the black pepper oatcakes, you get about 50% less oatcakes in the box compared to the regular ones and the box if the same fucking size.

19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Why would you drink something you don't enjoy? I can't stand beer/lager and wouldn't drink one just because everyone else was. Even when I buy a pint of cider, if it's a rotten pint I'll not bother finishing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go through phases of drinking lager of heavy. Right now I'm in a lager phase. Tennents is everywhere and is generally reasonably priced. I'm not going to sit and pay over the odds for, granted, a nicer pint only to completely disregard the taste when you're finished the first one. If I want to sit sipping and savouring the taste of a good beer I'll buy one. If I'm out for a pint with a friend we're generally there to get a bit drunk and watch football. It serves a purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I had a pint of Coors Light the other day. Now that's a tasteless beer. I'd probably rather drink Budweiser than that pish again, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
