See you Sheffies you have nerves of steel, I once knew a guy from Sheffield he was a fellow soldier, his name was Phil I dont suppose you know him do you? Apparently he moved to a Kibbutz in Israel. I hope I spelled Kibbutz correctly, judging by my short experience on Lit Net, it is the spelling mistakes that do you in. According to my calculations, based on the Gregorian Calender, you should be well pissed by now. ;)Quote:

Seeing as I am on holiday at the moment, or at least off work, I have taken to two "first" drinks of the day. One in the afternoon and one at night, that way I get to experience the thrill twice!Quote:

Several hours later I was able experience the rush of the first drink again, followed by a second, and then a coffee. That's class!
You see you could learn something here. You Scots simply smash the Tennents or Special Brew (or whisky) for breakfast and don't look back.
For Example when I was on a short break the other day there was an old Scottish guy who was at the bar in the hotel when I was getting a drink. He was in his late 60s with a MASSIVE party of Scots, everywhere. He stood at the bar and ordered a load of spirits but was too far gone to remember what he was ordering. He asked for a triple whisky and coke, triple! and several other drinks and then said serve this lad (me) while he was trying to remember what he wanted.
When I had got my drink the guy ordered loads more spirits and walked off. He must have downed them in about 5 minutes, I guess they weren't all his but who knows, and he was back for more. The manager served him this time and reminded him that he had to be up for breakfast (I got the impression that he had stayed there before) and he said no problem etc, downed another couple and went off upstairs. He had been drinking for ages, all night.
Well, the next morning he was up bright as anything chatting away, eating his breakfast with no problems at all, I couldn't believe it. I suppose that is the Scottish way, he must have been used to it. Mad. :lol:
Neely, there is no arguing with you mate. It wasnt so much what you said, but your ability to spell tennents correctly. Have I met you before? I have this strange feeling I cant shake off...... I knew it, you are Phil, the signs were all there, tall, dark and a way with the women, and you are still due me fifty quid. Pay up immediately or I will spill the goods on you, remember that time with Phil Oakay, Oh, I get it, its a Phil club! There you go, there is no such thing as coincidence on Lit, Net. Just give me a tenner and we will call it quits. :DQuote:

Scotland 0 -Norway 4
Don't you just love those-slapstick-slipping on banana skin-custard pie in face-treading on garden rake- type comedy shows.?
And so many of them involve sports teams from Britain.
Couple of tiny misconceptions there Neely. There is no such thing as Tennents super strengh lager and I always get my carry oot from Accommodating Mary's Mild Mannered Hostelry. ;)Quote:

:confused:
Athiest, do I detect a note of , what I can only describe as a smug satisfaction in your post? Just because the New Zealand rugby team win everything in sight dont get too bold. A Gunboat is on its way as we speak, never underestimate the British Empire. :DQuote:

playing it isnt interesting -it is the most frustrating thing in the worldQuote:

sorry Nightshade, it would take a long time, and I have to prepare to go into hiding, if we lose at the oval.:(Quote:
