25p per pint? Bowlacks to that my friend, makes me glad I fill my hipflask with vodka and tip it in my lager on a Saturday night. Getting wasted is for winners!

Indeed, you are quite right young Billy.
Being sober is soooo passe!

The pub doen the road has whacked a rather whopping 25p on a pint of ale. :shock:

Thieving ba$tards.

I've had to tax the valver, and another car that isn't even mine, and insured said car that isn't mine, and MoT the bl**dy thing. The things we do for wimmin.....

And I still drink, alot, unless you listen to Vanny, in which case I'm tea total, and I'm just a lowly bus driver, you're in the wrong profession Tim.
Lol its the mortage and council tax etc that takes it up! If I didnt have them life would be alot easier :shock:

Don't get me started on council tax :evil: We pay an absolute bloody fortune and the recycling only gets collected every other week so we end up taking it to the tip ourselves anyway :evil: And the streetlighting's crap, and the parking's stupid... grr!

Mortgage schmortgage. All work and no play etc. You have to find the money and time to get out there in the big, bad real world and have some alcohol fuelled entertainment or you'll go mental.

When I was a "youth" I lived on a diet of strong cider and kebabs and was rather chubby, I got so wasted one night I had to be put to bed by my folks after performing a multi-coloured yawn everywhere, since then I have slowed down somewhat! :oops:

Jesus, what a lightweight! The trick is to drink to almost the point of oblivion and if you feel a pavement pizza moment coming then stop drinking. For at least ten minutes. Oh, and don't forget to promise to yourself you won't do it ever again and then go out the next week and do exactly that, only drink a bit more for the win. Once you have reached the point of talking to yourself, having conversations with inanimate objects, fighting trees and bushes and firmly believing your keyboard wants to kill you then you are a winner.
Had an epic argument with my computer a couple of weeks back and after giving the keyboard a good shoeing, and trying to reach people on the wrong forum, I think I won.

Not necessarily...in my younger days (that makes me feel old!) one of the drinking games we used to play gave each drink a certain number of points, the object of the game being to have the most points by the end of the evening. However, you lost points if you puked...Image

Depending on how desperate you were to win, it was sometimes an advantage to go into the toilets, stick your fingers down your throat and carry out a spot of 'tactical chundering'. You could then emerge from the gents feeling fresh and revitilised, ready to have many extra drinks to more than make up for the points lost by being sick...

Can't say I was ever that keen to win, it was all I could do to just keep count of the points by the end of the night!

Awesome stuff!

Tim, I'm afraid you are indeed a lightweight.
I'ce been so trashed I've ended up in hospital having my stomach pumped, I've been collected from the fountains on the centre by the police after repeatedly falling in and drowning (cant swim see), I've fallen off buildings, had mahoosive punch ups with other random drunk people, and done some other carnal related stuff whilst damn near unconscious.

Trust me, forget the lotto, blotto is FOR THE UBER WIN!

As it goes my council tax has just gone up to over £1250 a year, the water and swerage has gone up 39%, gas and leccy is now so expensive the guy that reads the meter turns up in a solid gold Transit Connect, and keeping the fleet of cars, ambulances and buses going costs a bit too.
And despite it all, I still drink, because I AM A MAN!, and it's our duty to go forth, get drunk, fall over, grope as many women (or men) as possible, throw up in strange and unusual places (thats the game we used to play, points awarded for the most obscurely placed vomit) and occasionally get arrested.
It's what life is all about!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

I got that hammered once, i fell in the local stream not once but twice (in a row). I was going over the stepping stones & knew i was in a bit of a state, so was really careful to take my time, but still missed the bleedin stones :lol:

I thought the topic was drinking?

The Black Rat has gone down very nicely indeed this evening :)
