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.
Went out drinking last night, got no sleep but the hangover's nowhere to be seen. :cool:
Were shops always closed on Easter Sunday?
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:
Off to London innit in the morning, will need to empty the piggy bank rightly for the session tomorrow night.
Why? Irredeemable shithole.
I'm doing some work for a Jim Obrien from Galway. His mums a pain in my hole.
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.
There's lots in England but they'd be the only one play football in the main league and championship, along with New York. London, Lancashire, and Warwickshire play in the hurling ones.
They've a fair few "home grown" these days, it used to be all just lads working over there for the summer and all.
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.
Day sesh in Liverpool tomorrow with da work ladz.
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)
All kids are twats. I've to go away next weekend and after I said I would I only learned that the wife's friends were bringing theirs. Fucking dampener already, one of those fucks is like a whirlwind.
I don’t like a kebab in the day time and it’s sunny now so it’s just wrong. Microwave tomorrow.
One of my flat mates at uni once bought a Kebab on a night out, fell asleep without eating it and ate it cold the next morning. Marbled balls of white fat and all.
:drool:
