The "UK Madness Forum"??

In my defence, the main culprits who do the Van run at midnight are a bunch of Northern Monkey's, the leader of which is from "Hull" - We civilised folk call it Kingston, but they seem to like to refer to the river... It's like calling Henley, "Thames"...

I've always said I'd love a donner grill in the corner of my living room. Imagine that... Donner slowly turning 24 7 , anytime you want it. The house would stink and the ceiling above would be yellow. Heaven. I can get a pre-drilled log of donner for £19.50 .

No, it's the perfect time, i like to get up early on Sundays in order to do all the maintenance tasks that need doing on the house and garden. By 1.00 I have worked up a good appetite, and can then settle down to the football in the afternoon. Depending on the game, I am usually totally enthralled or feel sated enough to have a snooze. It's what Sundays are all about in my book.

I can forgive you as I have always considered myself as quite "continental" in taste. Breakfast baguette, Stella Artois, a dash of red wine in the Spag Bol etc...

However, it is what one does at 4pm on a Sunday that defines the true Englishman.

It is, after all, in the words of the finest writer ever, from anywhere "the long dark teatime of the soul".

I quite like lying on the couch too, and hoping the dinner will settle in time for the beer to take its place.

I think they prefer the option with the least syllables

We willingly have Doner Kebabs sober in our NOC on night shifts....

It does depend on the van, but they can be rather nice....

I can't believe the peasants I'm communicating with on here.

Wish we could of got warm and sunny or cold and sunny instead of the cold and wet all day today!
Tomorrow looks slightly drier.
Loads of local weather sayings here in the UK.
Where I am it's a common saying 'rain before 7, dry by 11'. Usually it is pretty accurate because of the prevailing winds and mountain range not far away from us. We are situated in its rain shadow so dumps all the rain on the mountains and not here in the city.
Any other sayings people know of?

I think an explanation of chip spice for those that are not aware may be in order.

Never trust a Burger or Doner van. Where do they go to the toilet? Do they sanitise their hands before handling your food? That's what somebody from Oop North told me. Personally, the food is cooked at such a temperature that all germs are eradicated. And they call us soft!!

Now, I only assume thats to do with the weather and not some Sheep-related nonsense - Grainofsand might be better placed to elaborate...

I can only hope it clears up by Saturday - I have a BBQ planned! It's my 33rd Birthday on Monday.

My favourite saying "heatwave on the way" followed by 3 days of watery sun and a thermometer bashing 18 C sapping the will to live.

Haha, true! I've never been ill off one of them, but I have certainly paid the price in the morning when I've got home, had my coffee and a fag to then have my bowels cry out

"Run, goddam it, run!"

Please do not tell me that you are 33 soon? I assume that was a typo.

You are 50 if a day and that is me being polite.

Ouch..... that stuck the knife in deep!

I'm serious - born 18th May, 1982... Suspiciously, my Dad (ex-Army - REME) always had a kid on the way whenever there was a War on, so managed to get out of going...

Kebabs are safer than you think as the alcohol in your system that is required to order one counteracts any germs that may be on the kebab.

Otherwise we would all be dead. I stand by this and the proof is for all to see.

Most of the doner shops in my town have been under investigation by the police for grooming......oops, shouldn't have said that, its not quite politically correct is it.

a reply to: nonspecific

Yes, one can not simply order a kebab, one must spend at least 10 minutes in the queue trying to get the menu board into focus only to order that which it was already your intention to order.
