I don’t mean normal people doing normal things, i mean like obnoxious twats in pubs, or someone sat near you acting like a prick at the match shouting a load of bollocks, or a driver cutting you up on a roundabout. I just find myself getting more wound up than i used to. I think i’ll watch ‘Falling down’ again later on a loop. I find myself going the other. I’m more of a ‘fuck it, I can’t be arsed with pricks like you’ type. next time in said pub I’ll tell the owner I left because of an arsehole like that so you’ve lost out on some money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He couldn't really make his mind up who he wanted to win in the 6N Eng v Wal game) My cousin got pregnant and dropped the baby, 2 months later she dropped another, she's like a fucking chicken, she got pregnant again whilst she was pregnant, the Doctors to this day still cant work it out. Roman Keatings brother came over from Dublin just to meet me when I was working at the pub at the top of the street, sent personally by Ronan himself, he knew about me because they used to call me the Pope around these parts because everyone knew me and I knew them, I know there families personally now and I'm godfather to one of the kids. We went to Norway on a stag do, was also a fishing trip, took 29 hours to get there, 4 of us fished out of a tin bath in 2000ft waters, going back it took us ages to get back through passport control, because my mate Ged, who's real name is Steven Gerrard wasn't allowed to go back because the Norwegian authorities said he was using a footballers name, and he kept saying my name is Ged, I'm not Stevie Gerrard but it's my real name, but everyone calls me fucking Ged, and Stevie G doesn't call himself Ged. 'I fucking slept last night' Nowt worse than a Walter. And even worse in a boozer when you have to listen to it or leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the nearest callbox to you? Nowhere, because they're obsolete. Landlines, tell them to get fucked. I get unlimited calls, data and texts for about a tenner a month, twenty quid for mifi wireless Internet. I don't think I've had a wired phone in 18 years. Tell them to piss off.

When The Brooklyn existed I'd just find a quiet spot in the lounge, it's like going on the bog, you want peace and non-interruption.

Site Supporter Cheese Posted February 27, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Used to be a bloke in my local who was a staunch Liverpool fan for years (never went to a game though). Proper obnoxious twat always singing Liverpool songs and wearing a Liverpool shirt while sat in the pub watching them on Sky. He did some labouring for one of the other locals who was a Manchester United season ticket holder, and he took him to Old Trafford one day as he had a spare seat. Overnight the twat became a Manchester United fan. Not a kid either - he was in his mid-40's at this point. From then on, he'd sing Manchester United songs and call Liverpool fans 'murderers' etc. It was fucking bizarre. Anyway, he was in the RAF for a few years, and he used to tell a story about being in a pub in Preston, when he "spotted a member of the IRA". According to him, he was allowed to carry a pistol even when he was off duty, so he shot the bloke dead in the middle of the pub. "Everyone went mental, but when the coppers turned up, I just flashed my ID card and they told me to get out of there and they'd deal with the rest". We later discovered that his job in the RAF was as a dog trainer. Edited February 27, 2022 by Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
