I'm absolutely not interested in, nor am I going to pander to your crabbit b*****dness. Keep it to yourself. I had a gig on Thursday and asked to sort a cash box for the door with one of the bar staff and I honestly thought the guy was ready to lamp me, he made out that my request was that of a disabled person and stood less than a foot away from me, staring at me waiting for my response. There were 2 folk standing next to me and both were just stood there saying what the f**k. I understand folk working in a small bar at a gig they probably won't enjoy would probably rather be anywhere else but I was just politely asking him for a box, a fairly standard request evidenced by him marching away and getting me one within a few minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they must still get it from the older generations. I used to work in a bar in the early 1990s. Folk used to ask for a pint of Tennents.

I missed a connecting flight in Dublin last year and had 5 hours to waste wairing for the next one. Went to the bar and asked for a lager shandy (was still a tad fragile and had a drouth) and when the barman asked which lager I replied "the cheapest" given it was a shandy. The barmans response was swift and true "this is Dublin airport, there are no cheap beers". Heineken was marginally the cheapest but it still cost the guts of £7 ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to asking for a gin and tonic, if you don’t specify what gin you want then the barman will usually pour you a Gordon’s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the Marquette Bar, I owe them more than a pint for the waiter turning up at my gate with my passport and green card that I’d managed to leave sitting on the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 People who dress their weans up in costume and/or just take 1 billion photos to share of them 'enjoying their first Easter'. This seems to be a very recent development: - Your baby is incapable of abstract thought: they're 'enjoying' f**k all about it. They can't even eat an Easter Egg FFS. - Easter is not a family occasion, it is just a long weekend for some bevvy with some extra football on TV. Birthday caird pish has no place in this once-proud holiday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because your neighbour spent their whole life smoking, drinking and having a terrible diet yet lived to 106 doesn't mean you should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I am posting this as a placeholder for moronic behaviour I can guarantee to see later today - I have to go for an x-ray at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, and its nailed on that there will be people outside having a fag while simultaneously rocking a mobile intravenous drip (or even better the ones being pushed in a wheelchair, one legged after an amputation). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
