Death these days seems way more important than it used to be. Every other week they are having a minutes silence/applause at the footy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's not the taste that's the problem, it's the price. A bowl of pho cost about 60p in Hanoi. It's £8 in Grand Central. It'd probably be pretty nice, but I can't pay that on principle.

Davkaus Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) It turns out things are more expensive when you have to pay western wages and business expenses. Who'd have thought. Edited January 15, 2017 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Bump into an old mate of mine Sunday afternoon who I haven't spoke to for over a year. Then today I bump into his brother in the shop who I haven't spoke to for maybe 2 years. Then as soon as I walk out of the shop there is another mate of mine who I haven't seen since last summer. They all have two things in common. Wolves fans and all had smiles like a Cheshire Cat. Dog head clearings in the woods . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddywhack Posted January 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think I've inherited something terrible from my father, something I'm going to struggle to forgive him for. I can no longer eat stuffing. His stuffing eating days are long gone, but to this day he speaks fondly of those early years. Growing up, I'd heard the rumours about his chicken dinner dilemma and his resulting transition into an exploding blob of gas, but I always passed them off as hearsay and legend. As the years passed, I noticed small changes with my own bowel movements after a bit of sage and onion, but nothing too concerning; the odd rumble or unexpected parp. Present day and I need no further proof that I am my father's son. Last night, my poor wife had to sleep in the spare room and I'm not sure the cat will ever sit on my lap again. Next door's baby was up all night crying and I feel I may be responsible. This morning at work has been a write off and I'm scared to get back in my car at 5pm. So that's it, my stuffing days are over. Sunday dinners won't be the same without you x 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say 'party piece', what I mean is you've a hilarious (to you) weapon to unleash on those parties you don't want to be at, or wedding ceremonies, christenings, interminable garden parties etc. You know how to use it, so use it. You just need to work out its gestation period for maximum effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
