Things That Are Wrong

Shane Ross and Nick Webb. Fuck off.

Fagan_ODowd · November 10, 2012, 10:05pm

The irony is that Ross is the greatest untouchable of them them all.

Two minute twitter silences, fuck right off.

For what?

Went for a hugh afternoon pints today. The place I went to wouldn’t be the most upmarket boozer in the world but went to take a piss at one stage and there was a lad standing at the sink in the mens jacks with his shirt off and facecloth in hand having a wash for himself

:lol:

Big_Dan_Campbell · November 11, 2012, 9:55pm

I walked in the door and gave him a bit of a look, he turned to me and says “alright mate, just finished work” to which I replied “Good for you”

I hate the sterotypical English pub. Makes my skin crawl being in there with the great unwashed and they drinking pints of carling. They are soleless places too by and large with awful service and those fruit machines/gaming machines in the corner.

Flano · November 11, 2012, 10:00pm

Soleless? :lol:

Big_Dan_Campbell · November 11, 2012, 10:02pm

This place is actually a decent enough boozer with a regular enough crew, but I agree with you a lot of the chain pubs and other drinking establishments in the UK are horrible places devoid of atmosphere or character

Flano · November 11, 2012, 10:03pm

And dirty feet it seems.

The_Dunph · November 11, 2012, 10:04pm

:lol:

Bandage · November 11, 2012, 10:09pm

Its achilles heel is the fact it’s soleless.

I had a bit of business to do last week early in the morning and had a few hours to kill until midday. I went for a bit of breakfast in one of these ‘Weatherspoons’ places. Jesus but i hate the place. I could not find anywhere else to get a bit of breakfast which wasn’t a load of fried crap so saw they had porridge and said i could go in and stomach the place for 15mins or so. That’s another thing, the serious lack of good food opportunities in England like a nice breakfast, roast dinner or a hot sandwich.

Anyway this is no lie it was 9.30am in the morning and the place was packed with sad acts drinking pints of carling on their own. You have to pick a table in there if you are eating and go up to the counter telling them what number it is and what you want to eat and you queue at a till for the privilege. They are a shower of cunts. There was a fella i suppose in his mid thirties and for the whole time i was in there he was stood about four feet from the till with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a pint that he was supping away on. What a loser, there on his own drinking pints of carling on a Wednesday morning with old people and unemployed in there, many of them eating fry ups. There was a big union jack in there and plenty of the poppy brigade. I could not get out of there quick enough. It is hell on earth with the dirty beer stained carpet and no sound on the tvs. :shakefist:

The atmosphere in pubs in sink estates tends to be comatoes.

The_Dunph · November 11, 2012, 10:16pm

There was only salmon on the menu.

Coincidentally that pub you were in was the location for Sky’s ad for last year’s pdc “World Darts Championship”.

Drinking a beer and eating a fry-up on a Wednesday morning sounds pretty good to me, to be honest. Better than being in work at any rate.

You have summed up the degradation of the English slums pretty well there mate. This is England.
English pubs are wrong full stop. In England they use Pepsi dispensers to dispense beer in some places, truly sick. Have you noticed the way bar staff in England are fucking useless? You know the way a barman in Ireland is able to take three or four orders together and put on a heap of pints? They can’t do that in England. They’ll serve a pint of Carling and nothing will deflect them from finishing that simple transaction before slowly beginning the next transaction. The thickness is bred into them I reckon. Their bravest and best were all culled off in their wars and they’re left with pure thickos. Sad really.

Maybe once or twice but hardly as a way of life.
