[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shambles.

[Giggles]

That was a bad idea.

[Spikey M]

Bad call, snaggle tooth.

[phonics]

You look like that Boss Baby.

[igor_balis]

You're a bunch of wankers :D

[Offshore Toon]

That's one of the strangest mugshots that's been uploaded on here.

[Giggles]

From lumberjack to 11 year old in ten minutes.

[Offshore Toon]

Looks even younger than 11 tbh. Credit to your skin for a bit part of that, though.

[igor_balis]

i'll probably revert to beard quite quickly simply because i hate shaving and it only takes a fortnight or so to get back to full beard pretty much

mostly just did it cus i've lost a lot of weight and wanted to see if my cheekbones were vaguely more visible. deffo less chins under there than i remember

[leedsrevolution]

What a nose.

[igor_balis]

could do with trimming my nostrils actually

i look like a fucking twink version of tubes from soccer am

[Lewis]

If Jack Whitehall had a sitcom you could play his zany cunt brother.

[Magic]

Put some glasses on = Spoon.

[Spikey M]

He looks like someone I work with. Same hair, same dress sense and he'd look a right cunt without his beard too.

[Adamski]

Had a pretty great weekend.

Family day on Saturday, went to a Easter Egg Hunt/Balloon show on Saturday then went to the park to feed ducks, have an ice cream and a walk round.

Daughter got dropped off at my mums yesterday as she was taking her away for a couple of days in her campervan. We then went to Callander and walked up Ben A'an, first I've done one of these in a while and it was a bit of a stretch, was blowing out my arse half way up but the views at the top (and the incredible burger & beer in Callander afterwards) more than made up for it.

http://i.imgur.com/BPUXT9s.jpg

Pretty successful all in.

[Offshore Toon]

So, up to London Thursday night. Going to Hospitality In The Dock (at the Tobacco Docks) on Friday:

https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-0/p480x480/17855323_1399180916786586_9026292107933896492_o.jp g?oh=a20ae3ac1cb28762f57c4cf70ab22b35&oe=5957BF7A

Then Fabric after.

Saturday will be BBQ and then maybe out to some tranny shithole in Shoreditch 'cause my mate is a wanker, but there's enough disinterest to revolt and just chill at my mate's.

I'll hopefully visit CostCo for the first day at some stage as well.

[Magic]

I'm going on a stag do tomorrow. It's my step-brother from America (lives in). I can't stand any of them so it should be good. The prospective (American) father-in-law is going too so maybe I can talk him out of his daughter marrying in to such awful cuntery.

Leeds playing on Friday night so that's a nice way to break up said cuntery as the wedding is on Saturday.

[Offshore Toon]

Ah yeah, I'll miss our game on Friday. I was a bit worried about your lot a couple of weeks ago, but you seem to have turned dogshit.

[Magic]

In terms of putting points on the board yeah. Still we need to win if anything to prove to ourselves for that away leg in the play-offs.

[igor_balis]

12 Pubz IV this Saturday.

My mate organises it every year for his birthday. The hardcore start at pub one at midday in the Eastern depths of suburban Rugby, have a drink, move to pub two for 1pm, have a drink, etc, working your way towards and then through the centre of town, adding and shedding members as you go along. Just a pub crawl really, but it's always a great laugh. There was only about 5 people the first couple of years, but by the end there was about 30 last year.


This was our shit gang at pub 5 last year:

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/13071736_10154729032294409_2820469429318207263_o.j pg?oh=11b12bd82bdcd2c35b5aa64b2caaa692&oe=599443E4

Apparently that same kid in the window was at the same pub at the same time the previous year, which is either a funny coincidence or distressing insight into her upbringing.

I have work until 2, so won't be arriving until about 5pm, but that's probably for the best cus since I've cut down on my drinking I've become a massive lightweight - I was fucking trashed after 4 pints last week. Other than that I'll play fifa in my pants and sleep.

[Lewis]

Move over, Tobias.

[John]

A young Robbie Coltrane on the wall there to the right.

[Lewis]

Is that Henners behind you as well?

[Waffdon]

Coke heads galore.

[Offshore Toon]

I can't for the life of me figure out what the fancy dress theme is there?

[Giggles]

The lad in the flat cap needs a slap for the flat cap.

[Adamski]

I'd love to know why it was Pub 5 last year but it's Pub 4 this year.

[Disco]

I'd love to know why it was Pub 5 last year but it's Pub 4 this year.

Pub 5 as in the fifth pub I assume.

[Raoul Duke]

I've got a house warming at a mate's on Saturday, fuck all else otherwise.

[Shindig]

I have to remind myself it's not Friday tomorrow. Overtime on actual Friday followed by visiting the folks on actual Saturday. Might get myself over to Newcastle on Monday. Got no assignments for this weekend so I'm making the most (I'm not, like) of the downtime.

[Giggles]

I've been thinking it's Friday all day today, mainly because I'm off for Easter from now, but also because I was somewhere today that I only usually be on a Friday.

Still though, lie on til 8 and a stinking fry for breakfast tomorrow and fuck work :cool:

In Rugby for the first time in a while this weekend for a Sunday wedding and planning to hit The Merchant and Quigs on Saturday so may bump into you reprobates.

Ask their carer if to take your picture if you do.

Merchants is 11pm and Quiggleys is....9 I think. So I think it is pretty likely. Best TTH meet ever.

[Spoonsky]

The lad in the flat cap needs a slap for the flat cap.

Decent rap verse.

[Mike]

That pub crawl sounds fun :)

I'm, for the first time in a while, broke. So I'm staying in for the weekend I think. Rubbish really.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If it wasn't for the bloke inside in the up to date United shirt, I'd have said that photo was definitely taken in the 80s. Tracksuit boy out front is putting a great shift in.

[Spikey M]

It has just dawned on me that Igor has a cube for a head. Looks like something out of minecraft.

[phonics]

Spikey, those in glass houses...

[Spikey M]

My head may be small, but it is appropriately rounded. Too round if anything, fat fuck that I am.

[Mazuuurk]

Am I the only one concerned that Igor is bringing a 7-year-old on his Pub Crawl?

[Spikey M]

Post-beard it's even more seedy.

[Queenslander]

Already balls deep in some Pale Ale and.... And already in trouble.for being boozy. Blokes if I can't get on a 4 day bender without getting in trouble what's the point of Easter aye?

[Spikey M]

Chocolate and virgins or something

[Queenslander]

I feel like I've been invalidated then.

[Offshore Toon]

Do you turn into a massive prick when drunk? If not, tell her to piss off and do what you want.

[Queenslander]

I am the most laid back individual in the State of Queensland. I have moved onto semillon sauvignon blanc and life could not be smoother.

[Offshore Toon]

Thought as much. I hate to go all Mert, but you seriously can't be taking that stuff.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Picking up my car tomorrow (and driving it home, which should be lol as it'll be my first ever drive on my own) and then on Saturday, cricket is back :drool:

Sunday and Monday, goodness, the relaxation on offer.

Off to Greece to see my parents for a week tomorrow.

Do the Funk Seoul Brothers understand bank holidays or will they be rattling the office doors at 7am tomorrow wondering where everyone is?

[Mazuuurk]

I just thought of James. He's not around since ages, is he?

[Disco]

Awkward.

[Offshore Toon]

Weather gone pretty shit for this weekend now. :moop:

[Giggles]

I just thought of James. He's not around since ages, is he?

I hear he's heading for Greece shortly. It's raining like fuck over there which is a bit of a shitter. Spikey would probably find it funny though.

[Offshore Toon]

Speaking of James, where's Magic Johnson these days?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Do the Funk Seoul Brothers understand bank holidays or will they be rattling the office doors at 7am tomorrow wondering where everyone is?

These guys love a Great British Bank Holiday. They always use them to do really stereotypical things like go on the London Eye, or take the family to Venice and not understand it. The people who seethe about it are the Chinese customers. They really do not fuck around over there.

[Dark Soldier]

I've never heard of the latter, but if I get in early enough I'll check them out.

ReMarc is an OG Junglist, Dugz is a London radio DJ who's been around for time.

Listened to a Dugz mix earlier and it was class, so I'll give ReMarc a listen in a bit.

Curry and beer for me tonight.

Tomorrow a drive up to Strathlachlan for lunch and some mooching.

Saturday Rangers game and Sunday some family visiting.

Monday a trip down to Largs and maybe over to Arran for a bit if it's nice.

Easter :cool:

Does Scotland do Friday and Monday as the holidays then? I thought they might be like us and do the Monday and Tuesday. I have no idea why we do that here.

[Giggles]

Either is better than the Monday only one here.

[Boydy]

Either is better than the Monday only one here.

Christ. I thought you lot down there would be mad for Good Friday.

[Giggles]

The still have the alcohol sale ban in place, this will be the last year of it though, but there's no public holiday for it.

[Adamski]

Does Scotland do Friday and Monday as the holidays then? I thought they might be like us and do the Monday and Tuesday. I have no idea why we do that here.

Yeah, Friday and Monday and then I've taken today and Tuesday off as well.

My old place didn't get the Friday either, think it may be just a bank holiday as opposed to public (no idea what the difference is)

[Waffdon]

We get the first Monday in April off for some reason and neither of Good Friday or Easter Monday.

[igor_balis]

12 pubs was good. Well, 7 pubs from when I arrived. Went to a proper rough place at 6, full of bald blokes with ropy old tattoos, and a bloke loudly and unsubtly buying cocaine on the phone. Got plenty of wussy indie music on the greb pub jukebox, got to see loads of random people I hadn't seen for ages and misguidedly snogged my old fling. Didn't get to see Merse, but all in all it was a good evening. Still awaiting the photos.

[igor_balis]

This was the POSSE that had assembled when I arrived. Deffo shouldn't have chopped off the beard, oops.

This is the last one, just before I drunkenly tried to snog my old flame and had to take myself to bed. Pretty tragic effort considering I arrived 5 hours after the majority, and plenty stayed out until 3ish.

A totally fair and justified dig from anyone else, mate. I know this is the kind of wild debauchery you wish you could still get involved with. Ditch the wife and come next year.

'No, how can th... They all say I'm a legend.'

[Waffdon]

Pub crawls with a group of folk is always great. Standard photo with abdy all not looking at the correct camera.

[John]

The kid in the tracksuit is wearing the same one in a different colour and striking the same pose as he was in the photo you posted from a prior night. Someone on the night must have noticed and brought that up.

[igor_balis]

That prior night was a year ago, and he wears a different colour version of that tracksuit and strikes that pose every night of his life so I think it would be a bit awkward if anyone brought it up now really. I think that's just the role he's decided to play.

[Lewis]

Hipster Harry Secombe next to him picked the best role.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I said this about the last version but if you look at the daylight pic of igor's, I genuinely think the only thing that would make me (blind) suggest a year in the 2000s would be the t-shirt cut and lazy neckbeard of the central, better looking guy.

Dennis Nedry at the front is certainly repping the early 90s.

[John]

I like the people at the extreme ends. On the left you have an excellent 'Ashley Cole at Roma', and on the right you have someone who's recently decided to change his look but doesn't yet have the wardrobe to pull it off.

Also, second from right in the striped top has absolutely no hope of fastening that jacket.

Back row left could be pasted into any picture from an eighties acid house night and he'd look correct.

[igor_balis]

Ha, you're absolutely spot on re: geezer on the left. Older brother of a girl I know, seemed to hate every minute. Think he only came cus his siblings told him he had to. Sympathise cus being dragged to stuff you don't wanna do is shit. The fact alcohol is involved makes it worse I reckon, cus after about 4 pints at somewhere shit it is even harder to pretend you don't wanna curbstomp every other cunt there.

Also, thanks lads for Dennis Nedry and Harry Secombe, cus he's a good but quite annoying friend, and they'll be good for my fiery babyface promos when he's being a twat.

[Dquincy]

Just cycled home drunk from the train station. Surprisingly uneventful.

[Offshore Toon]

Why were you drinking at the train station?

[Pepe]

Driving to Wisconsin to ride my bicycle in circles for a little while. Should be fun.

[Dquincy]

Why were you drinking at the train station?

I was in Londaaan taaaan.

[Giggles]

My deepest condolences.

[Dquincy]

Just because it's not Dublin.

Two steaming shitholes.

Not a fan of city breaks?

Given the choice, city break? Holiday on the beach? Or camping holidays in the countryside?

[Giggles]

City nearly always, though I rather a nice seaside town. Still trying to book a sun holiday for the summer but I haven't a clue about them.

[Adamski]

Did you take a look at Playa Blanca?

[Giggles]

I told her the name and she's going to the travel agent next week some day.

[Spikey M]

Just bought a shed, all the reviews say it's a fucking nightmare to put together. There goes my weekend.

[Dquincy]

I told her the name and she's going to the travel agent next week some day.

Travel agent? It's not 1992.

[Giggles]

That's because most people can be arsed looking up holidays and deals on the internet. A holiday is the last thing I want to be doing so looking them up is also the last thing I want to be doing. May as well go to someone that does it for a living. They still exist so they must be doing something.

[Pepe]

Watching TV for the first time in ages. Wht are they showing people playing FIFA? :cab:

I'm also going cycling this morning. Flying to Southampton on Monday for work. :sick:

Had a pretty shit night in Leicester yesterday. Got refused entry to a club for not having ID, oops. I never needed it with the beard so just stopped taking it out, and it didn't occur to me I'd need it now I look 14 again.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Have there been any positives about shaving off the beard?

[Spikey M]

He seems more miserable so is fitting in a lot better here.

[igor_balis]

Not really, except for eliminating any doubt that I might look better without it. Was good to just have a change too - I'm happy to be a guy with a beard, but it was getting close to being "the beard guy". I don't wanna be defined by it, maaaaan.

[Disco]

But you're going to grow it back because you aren't the same without it?

Yeah.

[Magic]

My dad fell off and destroyed his knee after getting stuck in disused tram tracks. That'll teach him for wearing gay clip ins. :harold:

[igor_balis]

But you're going to grow it back because you aren't the same without it?

Absolutely. Purely a question of aesthetics though, honest!!!

Tracks are treacherous as fuck. Sucks.

It really is amusing to watch someone go down with absolutely no effort to save themselves though.

[Pepe]

A bit tricky to save yourself from that one.

They recently installed tracks on the main street here (because we're getting a trolley, lol) and I know of at least three people that have smashed their heads due to them. At least they added these quite excellent signs.

I've just paid 7.45 for wanky tea for 1 and a tiny cake. This is England?

I didn't see the price of the tea. :happycry:

At least I spend my money I don't have on drugs and alcohol not pretending I'm middle class.

[Dark Soldier]

Considering we don't have a no subject thread, I'll put it here.

HarveyYevrah on reddit isn't our Yev is it? Left a solid comment under some topic about a fat guy proposing to his missus.

Probably is. That's the username he used to ask for a signed picture of Pavel on IMDB.

[SvN]

It's not, he's a yank.

[Dark Soldier]

Then apparently he's deeply invested in Trump, America and cartoons.

EDIT: As above. Could just be top tier Yev trolling.

I'm sure this has cropped up before and it wasn't him.

I'd forgotten about Pavel's IMDB page. The self-penned biography is every bit as good as I remember it. :D

Mans a self-facilitating media node

[Pepe]

Donned this conference. Attended a total of two talks beside mine and avoided my advisor throughout, which meant I didn't have to practice for three hours and change everything in my presentation. Then I just winged it and donned it. Some nerds even surrounded me after the talk to learn more about it. Luckily my advisor was there to entertain them while I GTFO straight to the airport.

[Pepe]

Not to mention that I flew there Monday night and flying back today. The other idiots had to drive there on Saturday and are not coming back until Friday. :harold:

[Lewis]

I only went to one, and I blew most of the second day out to go and mooch around Brighton.

That's the proper way. Seems that only those who should already be retired enjoy them.

The actual thing was a bit of a bust really. It was on civilians and war, so there was me with my exploration of the logic of mass death, and everyone else with papers about *minority group* in the *lesser known civil war*. Tough crowd. Still, I got a free meal and a day out in Brighton.

[Pepe]

Did you stand there and read your paper? I've heard that's what happens in the humanities. Sounds tragic. At least we have pictures and videos (and a shit ton of crappy graphs.)

[Lewis]

I sat and read it, but it was too long so I had to skip bits of it, and then nobody had any questions.

[Pepe]

Might as well just set a group email, no one needs stuff read to them.

[Giggles]

Invite writing most of Saturday :moop:

I'm doing the envelopes, and she's doing the fancy bit so at least I don't have to be too careful. 237 on the list, which will hopefully amount to in or around 200 on the day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'll be waiting eagerly by my letterbox.

[Offshore Toon]

How many of those are on your side? That seems excessive.

[Lewis]

Remember that Micks breed like rabbits, so that will be about three families.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I imagine he's got quite a lot that he's obligated to invite but if possible, he'd only want to invite two.

[Giggles]

How many of those are on your side? That seems excessive.

About half and half. 200 would be standard enough here. I was at one a few months ago where 320 were sitting for the meal and it was a bit nuts.

The best day will be the day after when there's around 40 of us left.

[Offshore Toon]

How many of those are family then? I've never understood this 'oh, you have to invite your second cousin in Australia!' stuff. If I got married today I'd have 5 family members there.

[Giggles]

How many of those are family then? I've never understood this 'oh, you have to invite your second cousin in Australia!' stuff. If I got married today I'd have 5 family members there.

I've all the aunts and uncles that are alive(13). 8 cousins, I've almost 50 first cousins so inviting the lot is never done so just went with the close ones. The rest are friends and the ones from work, and a few lads I worked with in the last two jobs. Also gave each of the folks 4 slots each for ones they wanted (neighbours at home, etc). By the time they all have a plus-1 too, it doesn't be long adding up.

[Offshore Toon]

Yeah, true. At your age almost everybody will have a plus 1.

[Giggles]

Yeah, true. At your age almost everybody will have a plus 1.

At my age it's getting to the stage where some of the plus 1's are dying off.
I'd definitely offer for a guest anyway as I'd be fucked off if I got an invite myself without one. Same reason as we don't have evening guests either (not sure if you do that over there) but I always seen those invites as worse than getting none.

[Offshore Toon]

I think people are forced to do those things because of the price of weddings these days. The evening is the best bit, anyway.

I just hope the there's a good few left for the residents bar as it'll be my first real chance to get a drink all day. The hotel are doing 50 bacon rolls at 2am :drool:

[Spammer]

Off to see the West End production of Les Miserables on Saturday. Tickets have been bought for me. Anyone seen it? Any good?

All I know is that it's something to do with the French revolution.

[Offshore Toon]

Giggles That's a great idea. At my mate's wedding last March we were told the bar would stay open as late as people were drinking, then they closed it at 1ish with about ten people still up. We ended up buying a couple bottles of wine and drank in the room my mates had. Then we found out you could ring any room in the hotel by dialing the room number. It was such a good night/morning.

We never even knew it was done until the hotel said about it as part of the package. Should be the best part of the day, apart from trying to stop my sister singing into the small hours. We got 80 rooms block booked and they're all gone, and some others are booked into regular rooms afaik so there should be a good stir for the late bit.

I haven't seen the stage show, but the film was fucking brilliant and by all accounts is basically the show on a different scale.

Also, you have no idea how tempting it is to spoiler the arse off it for you.

[Giggles]

It's a musical about the French based on a novel by a nineteenth century Romantic poet. You probably weren't going to watch it anyway.

[Raoul Duke]

Sorry hoss. No idea if that's actually true - just wanted to spoil it for Hammer :harold:

[Offshore Toon]

My mate is over with his wife(!!!) for a wedding on Sunday, so a couple mates are down from London and we're going out tomorrow. I've got £42 and only enough food in the cupboards to last another week tops (unless keto really kicks in and I can stop eating) so I'm tempted to not drink, but 3/4 till 11/12 is going to be a lot of effort sober and hungry. The mate that's flown over has already said he doesn't want a heavy night (because his wife will have said that and he's a pussy; he will be looking forward to this night more than a wedding for some dweeb he barely knows) so hopefully they bail early-ish. I've still got a bit of acid so might do a microdose which will make it pretty fun without booze and suppress my hunger for food I can't afford.

[igor_balis]

Went pub to see my mate's new band last night, they were surprisingly great. Was dancing next to this really cute girl for ages, she kept giving me the eyes and smiling at me and shit. Was trying to figure out how to proceed because I'm pretty rusty. At some point a big group of people all put their arms around each other and started dancing and I tried to introduce her to the circle and she literally just did a little shriek, and backed away.

Oops! Better luck next time, huh.

[Shindig]

"Introduce her to the group." sounds like attempted gang rape, to be fair. I might get over to the other castle in the area tomorrow.

[igor_balis]

I was just trying out some methods Mert recommended, don't hate me cus you ain't me mate.

[Shindig]

You can take the boy out of Turkey ...

[Spammer]

Saw Les Miserables last night on the West End. Holy shit :drool:

The film was great too - I watched an hour of it beforehand and the rest tonight - except the singing wasn't as good.

[-james-]

Had a leaving do on Sunday involving a bottomless bag of cocaine, then some Xanax on Monday and didn't leave bed. I don't indulge much these days but both days were a blast.

I have a driving test in two hours that I felt confident about last week, but not so much right now.

[-james-]

Anyone remember 4chan girl? There was a girl I had sex with a few times during first year of uni who had a long term boyfriend. They split up eventually but i don't think he ever knew.

We had never met, and he showed up on Sunday night and I told him i knew who he was. I found it very funny, he didn't. Probably a bit harsh in hindsight.

[Giggles]

:D

Did he not smash your face in? Unless you're some sort of hard kickboxer.

I'm not, but he is even less that sort of person than I.

I haven't been on Facebook for five weeks. Took a break to concentrate on uni work and haven't missed it in the slightest.

Doing the 'Ale Trail' from Manchester to Huddersfield today for Baz's 30th.

My flatmate has already asked 'it's ok to just have a half right?'
LADS LADS LADS.

[Giggles]

I've got what amounts to my 'stag' this weekend.

[Mike]

What you doing?

[Giggles]

Best man is coming and bringing another lad I know with him and we're going for a few pints down the road. I didn't want to cave on having anything but it's acceptable.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You'll be naked and strapped to a pole before 10.

[Giggles]

You'll be naked and strapped to a pole before 10.

They've been warned that if they have any interest in coming on the day of the wedding then none of that will go on, I'm not 22. And they know me well enough to know that I mean it.

[Kikó]

I ended up organising mine because my best man was useless. He managed to get everyone to London so I'll give him that.

I think he's going to ask me to be his soon as well.

[Shindig]

"Guys, we're going to Portugal!"

[Giggles]

I'd be a good one as far as organisation for the wedding went, but I'd never do it as I hate all the other shite that goes along with it like stags and speeches. If I was ever asked I'd say no again.

[Adamski]

When's the actual day Giggles? Don't you have about 400 people coming? Fair play distilling the stag down to that many. Wish I could have got away with the same.

[Giggles]

Near end of June. 235 invites with the eye towards 200 and so far looking like 180.

For the stag it was this or nothing so he took this.

[Magic]

Going to the rum festival in Glasgow tomorrow, fucking great timing with the football. Staying at my mates in the South Side as well. Imagine if it turns out he was actually John.

[Adamski]

Have you not met him before?

[Magic]

Nope.

[Offshore Toon]

I've got to move out by 10am tomorrow, but can't move in to the next place till midday despite them both being uni accommodation. Part of me thinks it'll be a good way to get to know the neighbours, but the sensible part knows I'll end up lying in the sun because they'll all be Chinese.

[Shindig]

Going over to see the folks, the dog and the little nephew. Hopefully the dog doesn't hate me still. He just barks at me like I'm about the steal him.

[Giggles]

Nope.

John or your mate?

[Magic]

Oh right. :D

Edit: :face:

[Dquincy]

Currently at a Centre Parc. First time. Not bad.

[Dquincy]

...And Giggs, I wish you well for your wedding.

How come such a low key stag doo? Any strippers?

[Giggles]

God no, not my scene.

Was just low key because I dread going to stags so at least this one I'd some control over it. I ended up staying on the stout for 11 hours and died a death until Monday evening.

Noice. Bet your toilet trips were a bit grim after that. :D

[Spikey M]

Got a Polish bloke coming to pick up a cabinet we don't want later. Not going to bother getting tooled up like MJ.

Remember me.

[Shindig]

I've figured out this dog and the bairn is being awesome and chatty. I'm on salmonella watch after me dad's cooking, mind.

[Giggles]

Could have shat through the eye of a needle.

[Waffdon]

How much is the going rate for Taxis for folk on here? Some sweaty nonce tried to charge me £40 yesterday from Dundee to Carnoustie (12 mile) and refused to keep the ticker on after I dropped someone off about half way through the journey. It was £13 or something at that point. Ended up locking the doors when I said that's a minimum of £10 more than it should have been.

Needless to say once I put the two £20 notes down on the dashboard I picked one back up and shot off.

[Giggles]

I paid €28 home from the city center last weekend. It's normally closer to €40. The taxi man was an Indian in a full suit.

Costs me £13ish from town to Ferry.

[Mike]

Depends where I go. Local town centre is under a fiver :D

[Waffdon]

Most of the time there's a group of you or they just ask for money before you get in but it was the fact he turned it off half way, the cunt.

I must spend hundreds and hundreds on taxis a month. Sheeeeeeeesh.

[Offshore Toon]

The transport links are great in Brighton, plus its fairly small, so I think I've only taken about two or three taxi rides in my time here. Not enough to know roughly how much things cost.

In Jersey because the taxis were charging silly, silly amounts they've been undercut by 17 year olds. There's a Facebook page where you just post the details and then some kid comes and picks you up. You can go anywhere on the island for about a tenner. Anywhere close a fiver.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Only Taxi I take is from my home to Luton airport now and then.

Black cabs at the airport charge £40, Hitchin taxis charge around £30-£40 but a Luton company we use only charges £23 (£20 for the journey and £3 to cover the parking fee).

The guy taking us to Luton airport the other week was a Pakistani guy who was pretty much begging me to vote for Labour.

I was just like you until 4 years ago, I didn't vote but now I do. What are you, 27 ish?
Close, 30.
Yeah, just like I was. Just vote and tell people that you haven't, do it. Just vote for Corbyn.
...
Mate, you've got to. Vote, it's great.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that I wouldn't be in the country even if he had persuaded me.

[Raoul Duke]

I probably spend £20-40 a month on Ubers, depending on what I'm up to. It's so convenient

[Waffdon]

I have to get a taxi home every time unless I'm in a gaff afterwards and get a bus in the AM. Pretty shit.

[Offshore Toon]

I didn't tell you guys about me getting banned from Luton Airport, did I?

[Dquincy]

Go on...

[Offshore Toon]

Tomorrow. I'm about to sleep.

[Dquincy]

K. I'll wait here.

[Magic]

Technically my weekend starts now. Bloody funeral tomorrow the day before travelling down for our flight.

[Giggles]

I know none of you give a shit or know what it is, but I fucking love the gaaaaa on a day like this. Big weekend, good weather, class stuff.

[Shindig]

It's been great just to get out in this. Wish I had some drink in.
