Davkaus Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 We have a summer and Christmas party with an open bar every year. For at least the last two years I've been the most disgracefully drunk person there, but I couldn't make it this year. I'm not "that guy" for at least 6 months. Feels good. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Why get so drunk at parties? Can you not afford the booze when you have to pay yourself? I've never understood being at a party (not that I'm ever invited to any ) just to get hammered. It's my wife's xmas party tomorrow night and she's taking a bottle or Prosecco (the 2010's Lambrini) to the hotel room before she even goes out. What a classy lassy I married Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assure you, I get just as drunk when I'm paying. It's just not usually with work people. I never drink with the *intention* of getting hammered. I'll often just have a beer or two with dinner as I'm a hipster beer rocket polisher and love trying different styles. But once I get to somewhere from 4-5 drinks, it becomes an increasingly good idea to have one more, and that cycle doesn't end until the beer is gone, or I'm asleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 30 odd years I've never got tired of eating them during the christmas season. I know you can eat them whenever but I only ever eat them at this time of year for some reason. Much like turkish delight or dates. Salted. Caramel. Ones. Banging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think I have "FOMO" drilled into my DNA. Just doesn't seem right to go home before the night has actually ended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 This Tweet cheered me up. Expect Musk to be called a paedophile everywhere he goes, which I hope will bring a small sense of satisfaction to Britain's favourite non-paedophile cave explorer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Went camping Friday and Saturday. Great company. Campfire. Bird chatter, the rapids of a river and engaging conversation the only noise breaking the silence. Serene and peaceful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Britain's libel laws are massively more restrictive than America's, I would imagine we average Brits can still end up in significant trouble stating that Musk is a paedophile.

Popular Post bickster Posted December 7, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2019 Went to get the festive tree today. I'm loading into the car and some old fella walking past makes a comment like "You've got a job on you hands there", I was going to respond with a "yeah you could say" or something similar, until I spotted he was wearing a Villa jumper, so he got an "Up the Villa!" and we shook hands and had a 5 minute conversation. My missus goes "Who was that?". Me: "No idea, nice bloke though". Improved my already good mood 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
