Why is it, that from one year to the next, I forget how utterly vile diluted orange tastes. Mi-Wadi, Kia-Ora, Robinsons and the rest of them. Jesus wept. Now I'm sitting here in tears, an almost-full glass in front of me, daring me to finish it.

wurgh.

throw some gin into it. at least give it a point.

The Traffic going into Moate.

Stuck in a traffic jam for an hour on Friday, expecting to see roadworks or some kind of reason for the delayas as we drove through Moate. But nothing. Out the other side to an empty road.

FUCK MOATE.

yeah its fucking terrible, on a par with gorey in the infuriatingly meaningless jam stakes.

 

[Bellatrix]

Fuck Moate indeed: the town that had a communal hissy-fit (blocking the Galway-Dublin road) when the council attempted to house members of the travelling community in a nearby village.

Bulmers sounds too Oirish. "Branding" decision.
Maybe they should have called it "800 years" (time dedicated &c)

HP Bulmers (a uk cider maker - the strongbow / scrumpy jack people) and Magners (the irish cider makers who make Bulmers) had a partnership here back in the day (called Bulmers ltd (ireland) i think) - 1930's / 1940's time.

It didn't last, but by the time they went their separate ways Magners were using the Bulmers brand name here for their product. When Magners launched in the UK in 1999 they couldn't use the Bulmers name there (because the company who took over HP Bulmers owned the rights to it outside Ireland - Bulmers Ltd / Magners only had rights to use it in Ireland) so they had to use Magners.

Or something. It's on the internet somewhere.

What are doctors checking for with this by the way. My
girlfriend doesn't believe that doctors do this and is trying to make me
think I've been.... wronged with.

When you're a child, it's to make sure your balls have dropped from your abdomen properly.

When you're an adult, they're just coming onto you.

HP Bulmers also sell a cider in the states branded Bulmers.

I remember that.
Remember arguing with a guy from Moate [he was living next door] at that time who was talking in apocalyptic tones about the 'invasion'.

Horrible, small-minded prick.

The Weetabix Week.

At no point during the advert do they say 'eat nothing but weetbix for a week and loose weight'. In fact they don't give you ANY REASON AT ALL for eating nothing but Weetabix for a week.

Pricks. I'm off to threads.

'if somebody has finished the milk, you can put anything on it! like this smoothie!'

if i looked in the cupboard and found a smoothie and dry weetabix, i know which one i'd be eating. and i wouldn't be contaminating it with weetabix either.

People who buy relatively cheap items with credit cards. Was in a que of about ten people in a jammers shop yesterday while the woman at the front bought a sandwich (e3.20) with a credit card. What are you, Norweigan? Fuxache.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

is it possible that she maybe didn't have any money on her and no atm card?
should she go hungry for your inconvenience?

this just isn't up there with teabags on the counter

yeah this doesn't bother me either. but that may be because I do it myself, usually after the 20th of each month.

Probably.

Most bar staff in the UK seem to have this problem. Cultural differences or a sign of our greater intelligence?

also, what is with the ordering of something like a G&T and being asked 'would you like ice with that?'

no bar person, I would like it to be warm and brackish please.
