mizfit Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Sorry, what?We’ve usually only ever bought our own drinks, or on a day out organised a kitty. Because were using cards instead of money, we’ve decided to do rounds instead. Works out a bit better as well if I’m honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I've heard a couple of people talking about buying their own drinks in company recently. This seems so alien to me. Each to their own though. Probably an age thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Surely the whole point in a kitty is that you buy rounds, though. Firing money into a kitty and then buying your own drinks individually from said kitty is up there with the most nonsensical thing i've ever heard. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially spreading the virus (furiously trying to get this back on topic) by handling other people's cash at the same time. Weans, what are they like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely once the money was pooled/kittied, rounds were bought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 We usually just buy our own unless we’re out for a day trip and then we’ll do a kitty. However we’ve been buying rounds on our cards just now because we aren’t carrying cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 But was he in a pub on the drink!!!111!! as well though? Right now there's only half of the components of a good old-fashioned, Scottish tabloid firestorm in this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be (pleasantly) surprised if she takes anything like the tone she did with the Aberdeen players the other day. Golden rule about criticising the OF always seems to be don't go in heavy on one if you can't also have a pop at the other. As an aside, Hamilton are still advertising Wednesday's game at Pittodrie as being on. If it goes ahead it makes the cancellation of the St. Johnstone game look like an act of opportunistic sabre rattling by the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a night out we'd maybe double up but doing rounds is a thing of the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Rounds are for folk who drink out of obligation rather than a way to enjoy themselves. "Hud on, let me down this drink purely so that someone else can buy me the next one even though I'm not really ready for it". The hybrid system of going to the bar when you need one, but also offering to buy a drink for anyone in your party who needs one at the same time, tends to work pretty well when you're in distinguished company. You roughly end up buying the same number of drinks that you actually consume, and it lets you drink at your own pace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) @dirty dingus Is it you who is coming to Thailand later in the year? Here is where our tourism situation is at https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/1963463/safe-and-sealed-brings-hope-for-tourism-rally Not great to be honest. There is whispers within the tourism community/businesses (I was part of it until May) that the Government are holding out for a vaccine and to down tools until Jan '22 (Chinese New Year) . Internal tourism is the way for 2 years.... Edited August 11, 2020 by SlipperyP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
