Genie Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 wetherspoons, home of serious alcoholics for ages. I used to go past one on City Road here on the bus route, and the elderly gents were all there waiting for opening at 7 in the morning for the first pint of the day. Madness.I know there's the bizarre exception to the rule : holiday airports however. They are worse. Last thing I want on my 7.00 am flight is a pissed up stag/hen party.I always cringe a bit when catching an early flight and the bar at the airport is packed at 7am with brits drinking. Nobody wants a beer at that time (alcoholics aside) it's a cultural thing I think... "because we can".I bet its busier at 7am than at 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2015 I think the only time I've drunk beer at breakfast time was for the early kickoffs in the Japan/Korea World Cup Finals. Going into work after was unusually pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The only time I've done it is at a hotel where they leave stuff out for breakfast, like champagne for Buck's Fizz (but without the orange juice obviously), or this place in Cancun that did margarita smoothies and tequila on tap to add at your pleasure. What pisses me off is muscly blokes who show their cleavage with those really low v-neck tops. Bunch of clearings in the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleases remove yourself from the gene pool.I take it you've defriended this person?There was a bit in that new 'Vacation' movie where a woman attends her friend's dinner party and proceeds to complain that she hasn't liked any of her holiday photos. It's super awkward, but I didn't laugh. I thought 'that's not realistic'. Looks like I misjudged people's sense of shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yes, I read Dave Eggers' book 'The Circle' recently and found it a tad hard to accept that so many people would blindly buy into the evil company's vision of an all-consuming fully-transparent sharing culture, one that produces neurotic individuals obsessed with likes and start freaking out when they miss something, but the more time goes on the more I believe that that is exactly the type of society we are becoming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus birthday, a bank holiday, and a 3/7 chance it's a Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday, ticks the appropriate boxes nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The number of complaints about facebook on here, at the football, in the office, it baffles me that it is still a thing. Never been on it so I can't judge it by anything other than third party feedback - and it sounds about as much fun as diabetes.Having said that, I use twitter which lots of people think is awful, but I get out of it what I want, no more no less so I really like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your particular emotional investment in a toaster that you're never going to see again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
