What Man of Txt has been doing all these months

Talk about anything here that there isn't another specific forum for. General chit-chat between the SG regulars. The Moderators will be sad pandas if you spam... too much.

What Man of Txt has been doing all these months

Post by Damien »

www.lastrounds.co.uk
London pubs, bars, travel, and culture site - launched yesterday!

If anybody's planning on drinking in London, then this site's well worth a look.
Obviously this doesn't apply to most people here, but I thought I'd post up the link so you can see exactly what this other project we were working on was.

Theres an error with IE6. People can't seem to register, all other browsers are fine. There was a small notifying error with hotmail as well, though I think I've fixed that!

I hate errors :(

I've launch it and it already needs fixing :E

Oh well!

That's not what he said at all. At least it doesn't look like what he said. I have to admit the whole "I'll go drink to a bar" comment is confusing, and possibly throws the coherence of his entire post into question.

Alcohol makes people fucking retarded. It's not amusing at all to be the only sober person in a party.

Also, how come "I'll never be sober in a bar again" does not make you think along the lines of "Next time I'll drink in a bar"? Thus, it's only obvious that I'll correct that line of thought by saying that I'm not going to a bar. Ever. Again.

Bars. Dens of retards. Go die in a fire.

Actually, the worst thing about bars is the fcuking smoking. Being a sober person among drinking people can be amusing, but there's nothing amusing about spending long periods in a dense carcinogenic gas. I haven't been to many bars before as I've only been dragged along with friends on a few occasions. I'm guessing I can count the amount of times on one hand, but I'm not going to try to think about it. At any rate, I remember one time I was stuck in there for at least a few hours and I couldn't get the smoke smell out of my clothes afterward. It went away naturally after a while I guess, but not through washing them, evn multiple times. Fcuking smokers! :frust

There's a thin line between 'festive drunk' and 'vomiting disgrace' and I cross it far too many times.

Need to start being more careful.

Your mileage may vary.

Alcohol makes some people fucking retarded, but it is a complicated formula involving intoxication level, propensity to stupidity or violence of the imbiber, food intake in the past 8 hours, types of alcohol mixed, mood of the person before getting drunk, the company they are with, ability to handle various forms of alcohol (some people get weird on red wine, f'rinstance) etc. etc.

New York = No Smoking in Bars

Anyways, drinking doesn't always make people retards. Sometimes it makes people fun and whimsical.

But then sometimes it makes people alienate people for the rest of their lives.

So it's a double edged bottle of wine.

Red wine is delicious. It's especially fun to drink from the bottle whilst walking down the street. It makes one look like an undesirable part of society.

I like red wine (preferably a nice Bordeaux, plx, or Chianti). Most white wines give me massive indigestion, though if I drink more than a trivial amount DX

I can't drink Red wine, and usually it takes me ages to finish White because I have to sip it.

Although I did have some rather nice port last night.

I believe you are correct there. Although had I been paying enough attention, I would have added a comma both before and after the "though."

The best red wine comes from a can, it's also easier to drink on the go from a can. The man of text got me some lovely cans of wine for my birthday once, they stained everything, especially my lips, very red.

Ugh...god. How could there be anything remotely pleasant about kissing a smoker? You're right,

Frankly, I feel like murdering everytime I'm just forced to pass someone smoking on the sidewalk. It really turns into a blinding rage when they light up on the fcuking Metro escalator, so there's no way to even take a wide path around them.

Usually I'm going up and they're above me, because they can't smoke in the metro stations anyway (I feel this should inculde the escalator :frust). I guess they're so jonesing by the time they get out that they can't wait until they're off the escalator to light up. Oh......the hatred! :frust

I could still knock them down I suppose, but they'd just fall on me.

I'm glad my olfactory system isn't as sensitive as yours, otherwise I'd be all prissy and girlish around smokers too and I might end up being one of those twats who do silly things like coughing loudly around smokers and stuff. Personally I'd prefer to be stuck in a room with someone smoking then with someone who stinks of body odor, perhaps I should kick smelly old people down the stairs.

Hating smokers is the new smoking.
