Standard in UK politics. For years Birmingham City Council hated the fact Sutton Coldfield was all blue. Always rumours of border changes and incorporating red areas into Sutton to manipulate the future results. No doubt it happens the other way too.

I fell out with my best mate and we didn't speak for 2 years. We ended up on a night out with a mutual friend though, and managed to sort things out. I even ended up being his best man, at his wedding. It might be shit for a while, but time will heal things, and if you want it, you'll end up being friends again at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it just seems shit. We both said things we shouldn't have but I've reached out but i'm getting snubbed. Part of me things '**** you' but I do miss this persons company. Oh well, as you say, I'm sure it'll be ok in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Pay for my own drinks and pay for my own food now. It stops me from wanting to murder people over a steak & glass of red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really seen the point in doing rounds myself, unless I'm just drinking with one or two people, but even then I'm a slower drinker so eventually we stop doing rounds and just buy our own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've spoken about rounds several times in this thread, I have about 19 reasons why I hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 When I'm in the mood for a night out I'll buy the first round and that's it. I drink far too quickly and recklessly. I'm usually 3-4 in before your mum's finished her snakebite so I get impatient and make love to the dyson hand dryers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 7, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yep we do rounds in this thread every now and again. I think the general concensus even amongst people (like me) who DO like rounds is that there's a critical mass beyond which rounds become unworkable. I think any more than 4 people in a round and the drinking speeds tend to make a mess of it all. I'd be a quicker drinker so I either stand around for 5 / 10 minutes with no drink waiting for people to catch up, or I end up buying a gap drink for myself. In a larger group we'd tend to break it into smaller groups doing their own rounds. So a group of 6 or 7 would have 2 rounds going on within it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted February 7, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don't mind if there are 2 or 3 people, but any more than that and you can **** it sky high. Much easier to just get your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Well I was gonna offer to get the round in for VT Off Topic, but if that's how you all feel, I'll just go on my own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Couriers that don't provide a time slot so you're sat around like a lemon all day at home.

JB Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Rounds with good mates is fine. You can trust them and if they're drinking slowly then you can tell them to pick up the pace. If we're in a large group then we generally split into pairs/threes or whatever It's different with strangers, though. The guy I was talking about in my original post was someone in our group I'd never met before and I just happened to get talking to him at the bar. I would've felt rude not offering him a beer. I wouldn't have minded him not getting me one back but I got pissed off that he did the same thing with other people and seemed to be consciously trying to drink for free.

HanoiVillan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Any more than 3 (and ideally) 2 and rounds are unacceptable. One thing that pisses me off that shouldn't is being told by friends that I need to drink faster than I want to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
