Wainy316 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think that "Friday thennnnn, it's Saturday, Sunday..." song has now displaced Pharrell's 'Happy' as my least favourite song of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One night when it was dark, we were out in the back with the dog, and it seemed like the wife had dropped something. I put two and two together, grabbed at the shape on the floor to rescue her cigarette lighter before he bit into it, and grabbed a full fist of his shit. So that was fun. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SuperTed Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 The attitude of locals in certain pubs. Look, I get its your haunt and you probably put a few more quid in the till, but my money is still green you know. Maybe if you want the pub to stay open with everything going on, stop making every irregular feel uncomfortable 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Thinking of going electric, been looking at a Model 3 Tesla but no one offers extended road tests, so I googled, as you do, an a well know hire company now rents them, not cheap, but thought we can go down the coast this weekend and test it out. So called I them, they haven't got a model 3 only a Tesla S, which is great no problem all booked. I thought I would call the local branch where it is booked to confirm the booking. "We can't guarantee a Tesla for you, but we will put you in a premium car". I have a premium car why would I want anything else? Also there knowledge of the car was next to zero, asking how do I charge it, "there are plenty of charging stations around". Errrr, thanks for that, I'll be back on the phone to head office!!

I was the outsider in a pub and I bought the raffle ticket just to contribute to the coffers. I ended up winning a prize. It was a new Toronto Blue Jays jersey and I implored them to take it back and give it to someone local, as I had no use for it. But they were insistent and actually delighted it was going to a tourist as it meant in a small way I'd be flying their team's colours abroad and their jersey would be going on a journey. The difference in attitude. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Used to a be a manager at our local pub in Sutton, (pubs closed down now) who was a complete arse, previous manager was great. We were a group of about 20, 10 in there every night of the week must have kept the place open. New manager comes in, invites his pals every weekend, gets table service and as good as ignored us locals, chucking us out on the dot to have lock inns with his pals. Banned my mate for singing in the week, when his pals were singing at the top of there voices of a weekend. Apparently it was aloud weekends. I remember him, only young guy, but absolute knobber, I'm sure one or two of you guys if local would have come across him, had a few pubs around Sutton.

Davkaus Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I went in to a pub in Coventry once, flat roof (I know), we went in and without exaggerating, every single person, about 15-20 of them all just turned and looked at us, and the room went silent. I felt like I'd just walked into someone's living room. We stood at the bar for an awkward couple of minutes and then left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was good they had a DJ on, then commented how smart people looked, oh and a buffet, that’s unusual. Yep, it was a private party 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pal is a member! Not my sort of thing usually but hey it's new years and we're slumming it. Walk in. 300 pairs of eyes staring at you. Brexit Bill and Anti Vax Angies the lot of them.
