Five to six pounds if you go to a city. Probably more in London. A city? Are those the things with the viruses and the smoke? I don't hold with all that. And I especially don't hold with expensive bars, unless there are no alternative cheaper bars. You're thinking* of California *thinking may be an exaggeration MrTiddles: what is a "thimb"? I suspect you were thrown out of the cubs because you were caught playing with what you call your "thimb". |

There was nice piccie of Great Charles Street looking like 28 Days Later in the G on Monday Having been to Wetherspoons and Sam Smiths pubs I do not have a problem with mid-price bars. Also I am pretty certain I have seen you order gay beer in an overpriced hotel bar when there were cheaper bars nearby. Probably selling normal beer. |

Well, I was impressed, at least until I got to the stuff about the narrow hips. Hips don't lie. |

I'm pretty certain that the reference to In Bruges will be lost on some people, and you misjudged how it might read, and you basically just sound like a daft homophobe, making a comment with a level of irony that most readers would find it difficult to determine. In the past you've criticised other posters (here and on G) for saying dickish things, which they probably thought were a joke, but also had a tone of nasty unwokeness to them, you spaz. |

MrTiddles : what is a "thimb"? I suspect you were thrown out of the cubs because you were caught playing with what you call your "thimb". I don't think he'll answer that because he's gone 'schlopping' - probably involves his "thimb" (I wonder if his wife knows what he's up to)?! (or the local po po) |

It could be an Orslakian warlord from the planet Thrumbles, or a deviant Tribble. I don't know. |

If you really wanted to criticise you should have gone for the Top Gun quote.
That is a terrible film with a level of woke somewhat less than Rip Van Winkle*. That is slightly above BigG.
But you most likely didn't know where the quote came from.
And if i want to be mildly contradictory and a dick I will be.
These are (part of) my core skill set.
Now are you going to drink the gay beer or not?
* Incidentally Rip Van Winkle was written in Birmingham. True fact.

I've never seen Top Gun, and don't think I'm particularly aware of any quotations from it.

I used to play football with a guy whose mates called him 'Maverick' as a nickname. It seemed to be unironic. It makes me angry all over again every time somebody mentions Top Gun.

Bit of a mouthful. |

I am currently re-reading parts of FRS102. That doesn't make up for not having seen Top Gun. The 're-reading' is sweet backdoors I am dull as fuck boasting. Have you read the FRS102 Charity SORP. There's some good stuff in that. If you are interested I can recommend some commentaries on GAAP. It's far more likely people don't understand FRS102 references than gay beer references by the way |
