Mahow and Shinners haven't.
I always keep some in my inside pocket, in case I'm at a soirée and my social skills are found wanting. Quick sniff of white off my Costa Coffee loyalty card and I'm running the room.
Christmas Lights switch on today in my town.
I saw a Sam Ryder lookalike (he's apparently an occupational therapist) mooching around with a Gruffalo and a load of elves.
If that does scream of Christmas I don't know what does.
It's as common as having a drink with a lot these days. It's a bit much though when people are sniffed off their bonce for a quick pint after workQuote:

I don’t think I’ve touched the stuff since Amsterdam last summer (‘22)
Ive recently been described as being "Vanilla" as i have very limited life experiences. Regular. Ordinary. Lots of things i still have not done in 35 years.
Any form of drugs
Alcohol
Cigarettes
Anal
Oral
No thanks.
That's not even Vanilla. That's a tub of plain ice.
+1 for never trying cocaine though. The most I've tried is weed, which just made me feel sick.
Oh, and morphine when I dislocated my knee and they couldn't relocate until the 3rd attempt. I can see how heroin would be moreish.
Compared to years ago when I was more in the circles that did drugs regularly, not much coke was done and it seemed to be more the stereotypical users, or in Barrow the massive roid heads.Quote:

I went to QOTSA last night in Glasgow, just booze for me these days but immediately got my ear chewed off by two lads who were nice enough but clearly on it due the way they were talking. It's definitely routine for a lot more people these days.
Then again I'm probably the only member of the board who has been offered coke by his dad so might skew my perception somewhat.
Your only competition will be Igor.
I was at a funeral last Thursday and ended up on it. Admittedly, I don't exactly hang around with Pride of Britain nominees, but its as rife here now as it was when I left the UK in 2020, sans Albanians sat on every street corner.
I've not been offered coke all year which is the longest streak since about 2015.
Just to pick this back up, lad in the pub last night was waving round three bags like they were sweets. Bar staff couldn’t have cared less. He’s piping up to my group saying how he’s the hardest in there (definitely false) when some old fella comes up and summons him away so we’re all making fun of him for being dragged away by his dad. ‘Nah he just wants a stripe brb’ :facepalm:
Comes back about a minute later borderline hysterical saying he’s lost his bags. Pretty sure my mate pickpocketed him, although he denied it for the rest of the night.
Anyway, went back to a different pub after the football and the aforementioned mate starting spouting off calling the bar staff jews, and it all simmered a bit and thankfully it was home time before anything kicked off. Then the same mate rang me as I was getting in the car with a different mate who I’d offered a lift to, clearly wanting a lift home. Ignored.
Saving grace was a lad was up from London and it’s always good to see him, so not a complete disaster of a night. Plus I cheered the Brentford goal like Smicer’s goal in Istanbul, cos all the United fans were still in full song about how they’re the busby boys and how anyone not joining in was a scouse bastard. That I am :baz:
Tl;dr does everyone has one person in their friend group who everybody wishes never came? Somehow I’m not that person, thanks to dickhead Joe.
I'm plumbing most of the weekend and now I'm short one fitting, and even Screwfix is closed today.
Best get a bag and get on it then…
I’ve spent it taking my decking apart, found a flagged patio under it almost the exact size we’d planned to flag a patio, which was useful!
Got a garden full of planks of wood and huge wooden beams now though.
Glad the garden is started though.
Easter is a load of bollocks really, but grumble quietly, because the bastards wouldn't hesitate to take a bank holiday away from us.Quote:

Surprisingly it's back open at 7am tomorrow, I thought they'd have took the 2.Quote:

I'm sure the big shops normally did their regular Sunday hours or an even more reduced schedule.
I always figured Easter Sunday was like Christmas Day where everything is shut.
Small shops can open. Large stores have to close by law, iirc.
There's no laws here for any shops closing but most of them do today. I think Tesco is the only supermarket open and it didn't until 10am.
Germany closes all supermarkets and retail on a bank holiday or Sunday. We've had to sneak in a top up shop yesterday otherwise we'd have starved to death.
Shops being closed on Sunday is 19th century shit.
Speaking of, some student died over the weekend so they cancelled classes tomorrow. :drool:
In Poland all shops (other than family owned ones with a family member working) are closed on Sunday. It's so shit.Quote:

Why? Irredeemable shithole.
London v Galway in Ruislip on Saturday. The hotel is somewhere near Wembley so probably not all that close to the thick of it.Quote:

Looking to buy a new duvet the same tog as my current duvet. Looks like I ripped off the label and don't know what tog it is.
As the kids say, I was today years old when I found out that London has a GAA team.Quote:

I think I'd heard of the game(s) being played here but had no idea they put a side out against the proper teams. Ruislip is a gloriously shit place to have it as well.
The wife is in the same spot this weekend. Numerous beers, wanks, and kebabs ahoy.
The highest level an English team plays at in either code is London hurling. They do pretty well, never be threatening the big boys but the gulf in that is monstrous.Quote:

Honestly spending time with them is mostly mind numbing - think nerdy teenage virgin loser vibes who do nothing but talk about the women in view, plus I think most of them do coke - but it is somehow more appealing than doing the kids’ bedtime at home, so I shall be boarding a train at 3 and live laugh sesh.
You really seem to be hating your kids at the minute.
Wife is out tonight and I'm at home so it's pizza/beer/Xbox for me.
Tomorrow there is a flower parade in my city (Dutch gonna Dutch) and then I'm going to a gig in the evening (my barber's band, amusingly)
tbh I hate everything at the minute. :worried:Quote:

I don’t like a kebab in the day time and it’s sunny now so it’s just wrong. Microwave tomorrow.
The sidekick finally ditched you, didn't she?Quote:
