That eliminates a quarter of the league at least.You don’t want a banter style based purely on drinking piss?
As someone who works in a bar, I can confirm, it is mental.Geez this dumb arse government of ours - I went to a local pub last Saturday night to watch the Showdown. The game started before I got myself a drink, when suddenly this barmaid comes over and says to me, "You can't sit there without a mask on, unless you've got a drink in front of you." She then gives me a glass of water and says, "You don't have to drink it: you just have to have it in front of you."
I guess it's the crazy COVID world we live in now.
Bake him away toys.
I really do expect better from you Phil. Sorry for holding you in such high regard, but that is A. way too long and B. not as funny as I’m accustomed to hearing from you.A young couple were looking for a family pet, and had decided a bird was what they wanted. So they go into a local pet shop, and ask the shop owner if they have a suitable bird for sale. The shop owner says, “We have this one here”, and he points out this gorgeous looking, colourful parrot.
The wife says, “Oh he’s beautiful – we’ll take him.”
The shop owner says, “Well madam, I must warn you that his language is a bit colourful at times.”
Husband and wife consult briefly, and then the husband says, “That’s OK – we can handle a bit of swearing.” So they pay the man, and take their new family member home.
Next day, the parrot lets fly with multiple rather loud obscenities. The couple are a little alarmed, but decide that he’s probably still settling into his new home, and it should improve over the coming days. But the following day, his language is worse, and even louder. This continues for a couple more days, and eventually the wife says to her husband, “I can’t handle this any longer – can we ask the pet shop if they can take the bird back?”
So they drive to the pet shop and ask that very question. The shop owner says, “I’ve heard that this bird may curb his language if he’s placed in the freezer for a short time – give it a try, and see how you go.” The couple agree, and when they get home, the parrot is put into the freezer.
But after half an hour, the wife suddenly says, “Oh no – the parrot: he’s still in the freezer.” She rushes into the kitchen, to see if the bird is still in the land of the living. She opens the freezer door, and to her relief discovers that the bird, although shivering violently, is otherwise unharmed.
Then the parrot says, “OK – I’ll cut out my swearing. But can I please ask a question: what did that bloody chicken do wrong?”
