This is funnier to me given the last time I bought you a drink I'm sure it was a Bushmills lol

Yes, you were kind enough to buy a large whiskey chaser, as I recall. You'd have been safe letting me have the odd one. Letting me have the bottle would have been a recipe for trouble....

Kindred spirits, I honestly can't remember the last time I started a bottle and didn't finish it - terrible really. 

 

We are in good company though.

Someone suggested that it wasn't really him who wrote this.

 

If not, I bet it's still not too far from reality!

That's a shame if so, but yeah - it's probably exactly how he feels at the minute.

Have to disagree with this, from personal experience....

 

- Too much beer -> Too loud, extrovert & embarrassing

- Too much whiskey -> Potentially argumentative and insulting

- Too much red wine -> Too emotional/affectionate or fall asleep

Similar to Alf, I disagree. 

 

Me on cider, vodka, wine - happy, talkative, see the good in everything.

Strong lager - turn weird apparantly. 

Whisky - argumentative, to the point of sometimes telling mates to fcuk off etc

 

Tolerance levels as well - I can drink 15 double vodkas and still pass off being sober, 6 pints of Stella and I'm out of it.

 

Right, next time we have the biennial IRL FoxesTalk social gathering I'll buy you both a whisky and we can all sit and have an argument about it. :ph34r:

Leave me and Alf the bottle and we'll turn the night up to "Irish funeral" levels.

No chance. Having thought about it, I was wrong. Whiskey turns me into a tight-arse.

Parents who give their chidren regular names but with a different spelling.

 

I met someone called Wendy today. 'No', she said. 'You don't spell it like that, it's ie' 

'Wiendy'? I asked.

'No, Wendie'

'I bet you've had to explain that a few times in your life' I suggested.

'I wish I had a pound...............' She replied.

 

Parents like that are bloodie twhats.

I've actually seen a Destinee lol

There's loads of them isn't there? Dominik, Zoey, Aimee, Jayson. It's bizarre. Everyone wants their offspring to stand out I guess, not really the way to go about it though.

I'm with you all the way, but to defend Aimee, that is just the French (and I suspect, original) spelling.

I agree HPF, it is the French spelling. I did consider not mentioning that one, though I don't remember Aimee's at school when I was there, they were all Amy. 

I think people really just do want to be different these days. I could be wrong with this, but there did seem to be a lot of black Americans who came along together in an era with unusual first names (or at least names I'd never heard before) such as Shawniece, LaKeisha, DeShawn, Trayvon, LaShonda etc etc. I won't pretend to know enough about black American culture to know why those names sprouted up but I think a lot of people of all different cultures have followed suit.
