The first I heard of the one drink an hour advice was when I was out with a guy who'd been drinking all night and he went to drive home. When I told him he'd be over the limit he said it was 11pm and he'd only had 5 drinks since 7pm. Mental. He wasn't Japanese, was he? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46062122 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 He wasn't Japanese, was he?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46062122I take it they use the phrase 9 times over the limit because they aren’t aloud to say he was pished/wasted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slower than f**k, so you press the touchscreen and it takes an age to respond, and a total absence of haptic feedback, so you've no idea if your touch has been acknowledged in the first place. I made a shed load of overtime off the back of them reconfiguring the ports on their switches and routers for them. Was literally 2 mins work for me but you'd be sitting at home with your feet up waiting in them calling back to say the glazers had fitted the new pane on glass for them in the front of the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was wee you just went door to door and did your song or joke, even got invited in to dook for apples and that. I guess folk are para about paedos more now and its just fizzling out as a thing. My kids are 14 and 9, and they got a traditional Halloween just like you describe. It still happens. Seems to me that making Halloween less fun for kids is one of the many, many ways we're making this a worse country to grow up in than it was for us.

In reality, a "fun-sized" Mars Bar should be the size of a three-seater couch. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
