Idiots that will insist on trying to talk to me when I am drinking coffee

Absolutely.

When you’ve invited them “in for coffee,” they aren’t supposed to waste time talking. :angry:

Do you drink it in one continuous gulp? Surely if you leave gaps between, isn’t there time to communicate?
Or is it a sign of a hangover?

6029

Never had a hangover, I just like peace and quiet for my first cup of coffee, the other 10 or so I can be spoken to but that first one is sacred

I used to be like that with my first gin and tonic of the day, the ex-wife would always be banging on while I sipped it, usually moaning about how I drank too much or something. :rage: I mean, what the hell was she doing up at 6:30 in the morning anyway? :rage: :rage:

People who never have hangovers

Either you are blessed or haven’t put in enough effort

To quote Dean Martin, you aren’t really drunk if you can lay on the floor without holding on.

Tomorrow I have been asked to do something I dont want to.
In fact I vowed to only maybe do it once with the Grandkids when they are old enough.
I did it 12 years ago. Every second of that is still burnt into my memory. Every damned blink of my eyes still register.
Tomorrow I have been asked to visit Auschwitz with a group and tell the story of the impact of Covid and their precautions.
And somehow blog it.
It is something no English speaker has done. It is a story that needs to be told.
And it has to be me.
And I know I have to do it.

It’s a lousy job, but someone has to do it doesn’t even come close.

Ah, Dean Martin, the drinker’s drinker. Another of his quotes that I really like is, “I have always felt sorry for people who are teetotal, when they wake up in the morning that’s the best they will feel all day”.

May I recommend Reach For the Floor, by Jeffrey Bernard. Absolutely cracking read on the subject.

Nope.
Couldn’t do it

I was pumped & prepped yet woken up early by what felt like the ghosts. Got here, got my group organised with their very nice guide Sabrina, and couldn’t go inside.
What a wuss yet how powerful that one visit is.

I guess that’s what sobering up is like. Few beers & vodkas “gonna do this”
Cold light of day.
What were you thinking?

Totally understood…my empathetic feeling is I would have been a victim and not a survivor.
That’s why I wouldn’t go through those gates at any time.

At 6ft tall, I would not have made it through the gates back in the day either.
Like I say every trip.
Every Human that is able should visit

“Hey you guise OK?”
Quick look around…I think she’s talking to us.
Six 70 somethings of mixed gender sitting at a table in “The Lone Barn” talking about how we used to come here back when it first opened when we were young.
The pre-pubescent waitress was trying to be friendly but missed by a mile.
“Girls and Boys please” I suggested, “not guise”
She smiled and disappeared. :lou_eyes_to_sky:

Out at the white hart in cadnam for a Rishi special tonight

If you are thinking of going dont - they are woefully underprepared / staffed

45 minutes to get a drink
Hour and half for a starter

All food over done thanks to spending a goodly amount of time under a heat lamp

6043

They were fine at lunchtime a couple of weeks ago, but the food, while pretty good, was on a very restricted menu. And some of the limited options were sold out.

Hermes - what a useless bunch of cunts, is there a worse company that has ever existed
