Peter Sissey, more like, eh, eh?

 

It was bizarre.  I can't remember anything like it.

 

Regarding the discussion about pubs in Benidorm etc I can't imagine going on holiday and spending it sitting in some horrible boozer.   When we were in Turkish Cyprus last year we went to get a drink in St George's English pub as one of our friends needed to take some medicine and didn't have anything to wash it down with.  Sitting in the worst type of boozer, eating utter dung while drinking the same shite beer you swill at home, watching SKy Sports News.  Cringe, no matter what the nationality.

I went on one of those dreadful Club 18-30 holidays to Magaluf when I was 18 and all the boozers alternated between Roy Chubby Brown videos and Only Fools and Horses on a loop.

 

It was honestly one of the most traumatic experiences of my life.

 

edit: getting charged £40 to get in to BCM and then subsequently being relieved of £8 or £9 for a drink in the place didn't help.

Ah yes, "I only came into this pub because a friend of mine wanted to wash some medicine down."

I believe you Chris.

 

 A pint of snakebite and a sex on the beach for my friend to take his insulin with please barman.

It was for a painkiller.  We got a round of soft drinks and the waiter/staff acted like we'd ordered five glasses of distilled child pornography.

Chris its okay if you go on holidays abroad just to sit in dingy pubs watching Sky Sports and drinking Carling, no one on here bar VikingTon will think any less of you.

Was off on hols to Mallorca on the day Diana died. Saw all the tacky griefathon bollocks and was relived to be going away as I thought it would all have blown over by the time I got back a week later.

It still hasn't completely blown over, I remember the sage all too well. The funeral was on all four channels for the love of god so I'm sure that was awaiting you when you got back.

Was it on Channel 4?

Kilt for wedding and or (bizarrely) for football. Football top for football games (which if you are a grown man is also cringe worthy)

 

Hope that clears it up for you buddy.

 

Maybe you should have posted that the first time, then.

I was caving out in the Yorkshire Dales with Scouts on the day of her funeral and some English couple who had taken their campervan and portable TV out to watch it all directed a classic verge-of-tears* meltdown in our direction.  National disgrace etc etc.  The day of her death is remembered more for all of the weekend morning cartoons being cancelled, giving a rather poor start to my brother's birthday. 

 

 

*I think there were genuine tears actually.

I'm certain it was - not even sure if channel 5 was out by then or if it had reached my village but can't remember it being on that.

Having the same thing on channel 1 and 2 is overkill already.

Diana; widnae.

 

 

 

Also I recall exactly where I was when I heard about her dying; in my bed wanking. I later got up and played a demo of Little Big Adventure 2, which I liked so much I later purchased the full game. It remains one of my favourite games to this day. Also on the day she died I met up with a couple of friends and we sang some amusing off colour songs about her death before going to play football. Pretty sure I had chicken for dinner that night, possibly with spaghetti hoops.

Clearly you would, unless news of her death was what brought on the vinegar strokes.

 

Out of interest, what was the news story before that came on that got your juices flowing in the first place?

Nah, I was already wanking at the time. I was channel surfing and 'came across' (ho ho!) the news (hard not to since it had taken over BBC1 and ITV and there were only 4 channels in those days). I can't even recall what I was watching before but when I was that age I was w**k crazy so it was almost just a habit.
