Tip 45: Ifyou're a bit short of cash, but want to socialise in pubs and clubs with mates, then get hold of a catheter bag - a new one - and fill it with your drink of choice. Then use an inside pocket on a jacket conceal it, and fill up your glass with the handy little tap whilst you're in the pub/ club.
Cider is too fizzy, and inflates the catheter, whilst quickly going flat. You're best with wine or spirits.
Oh dear it sounds like you have had experience of drinking from an alcohol filled catheter. I don't want to know about it, yuk. Although, come to think of it, it has to be an improvement over the likes of Carling or Carlsburg from the bar. I bet Carling drinkers couldn't tell the difference between that or original catheter brew.Originally Posted by Paulclem
Tip 46: Never drink Carling.
It's absolutely awful. The worst drink imaginable.
I did - and wine bags from those boxes work too. Times were hard...
Original Catheter Brew sounds like a good name...

Tip 44 and the dog one, are the definite winners so far
Tip 47: Never shake a woman's hand, like you would with a man, always press her palm softly.
Maybe it's just me, but when I see a man shake a woman's hand like he would with another man, it seems like one of the most vulgar things one could do upon introduction. Technically though, this one isn't mine, it comes from mother.
Tip #48: Sing it out loud.
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
Tip 49: When getting, or in line for, abuse, always refer to yourself with something worse than they would. You can't be insulted then.
Some people say that's doing their job for them, but I believe in staying in control of my own image - even if it can't get any worse.

Some women would probably be enchanted by the idea, but it makes me cringe.
I like a firm handshake. Soft ones honestly make me think less of somebody.Tip 44 and the dog one, are the definite winners so far

I'm a woman but I'm sure not a lady.

Oh those boxes are great, with the little taps? I haven't had any of those in a while. I don't think the quality of the wine is up to much, but this is somewhat negated by playing with the tap and pretending you are a barman!
Yes Carling such launch Original Catheter Brew, they wouldn't have to change the drink even.
Which is the dog one? I'll have to look back at that one.Tip 44 and the dog one, are the definite winners so far

Is there no danger of getting your face slapped with the pressing palm business though? Maybe you would get away with it if you don't wink at the same time?
Tip 48: Investigate those wine barrels again; the ones with the taps. Wine on tap!
That could be dangerous.
God I fancy a wine and only have beer and cider.
Edit: ha, ha the posts made at the same time above confirm my suspicions.
Like I said maybe it is just me - but not to be to personal but could you tell me why you gals would rather have a man give you a handshake like he would to a man?
Personally I like it when a I get treated like a man, I would find it insulting for a woman to treat me like a women - so naturally I act that way, as I guess if I feel insulted when a women treats me like a women, a women would feel insulted if I treat her like a man.
It goes with the stereotype that women are 'softer.' Maybe some are, but I'm not that type. I like muscular handshakes firm to the point of hurting. Also, there's something disturbingly seductive to a soft palm-press.
While I'm not a feminist, this fits in my definition, again, of gender stereotypes- as I think we encountered on another thread. I don't want to be treated differently because of my sex. I command respect. Which, to ME, anyway, as it is a personal preference, is a firm handshake.
Agree to disagree, AlexanderIII, as I can see we are going to have our differences?

Huh, to be honest I never heard this side of the coin before, but it is interesting. Nonetheless agree to disagree as you said.While I'm not a feminist, this fits in my definition, again, of gender stereotypes- as I think we encountered on another thread.

I remember an ex of mine, once told me that the way way a man introduced himself (including pressing her palm) was how she determined who to ignore and who to give her time to. And in her words "If a guy shakes my hand, we are not introducing ourselves, he is introducing himself by himself without regard to me, and I hope he likes shaking things by himself as that is all he will be doing tonight" I paraphrase as I don't remember the exact way she said it, but that was the jist of it.
As long as there is some amount of pressure to the palm press, I think it is acceptable. I wouldn't want to mistakenly think someone afraid of touching my hand. Someone took my hand at a social gathering to speak to me during an introduction. He didn't shake it, he simply held on to it for a moment while looking into my eyes and paying me a compliment. While I wasn't interested at the time, I did find his manner impressive. In America we rarely shake hands unless we're conducting business. The palm press is also rare. Most men and women just say "hey," or "hi," or the dreaded "What's up?"
I like a firm handshake myself, and hardly anybody does it well. They always half-grasp your hand, which I despise.
