The Banter police, aka the Stasi

a reply to: Freeborn

Way back, when I was a bit on my uppers, the landlord sat on the bar stool next to me dropped a wad of 50 pound notes on the floor. 'You have it, I can't be arsed to pick it up". He did.

Some more of his banter gems:

"I'm buying a pub in Ethiopia. Have you seen the beer guts on those kids"?

"Health and safety have closed down Disneyland Paris. Apparently they killed a ####ing big mouse".

And so on.....

I'd like to open a pub where you could smoke, tell off-color jokes, and offend every last bastard in the place with your politics.

And get stinking drunk in the process and have a great time.

Can we have a Buck Hunter Arcade too?
Please?

I remember when you could smoke on airlines.

And James Hunt sitting in his F1 car being refueled smoking a cig.

I am old enough to remember smoking sections inside restaurants in the early 90s and loads of public ash trays all over the place.

My dad said when he was in training to be a mechanic he could have an ash try on his desk in college.

Yes. And after a meal the waiter would bring round a selection of cigars.

I dont like carveries much, Sliders are just half what you can get at maccies but I do love smashed avo...not in a pub though, pubs are where you get pies and suchlike, or a basket of chips if its a posh one on the weekend.

Scampi in a basket?

Avocado coloured bathroom suites?

Artex ceilings?

Little boys playing football in the park, jumpers for goalposts? Hmmm?

Never had scampi in the pubs I used to go to. That stuff was the preserve of the rich elites like lawyers and labour party goons

Also, I had a mate bought a house with a neat little extension, that had Artex ceilings so rather than spend a month sanding it down, he hired a JCB and knocked the whole extension down said it was too much trouble.

Chicken in a basket? Surf and turf?

Prawn cocktails?

Walls Vienetta?

Black forest Gateau?

Hmmm....

a reply to: SprocketUK


It wasn't real scampi.

Skate knobs, I think?

No, not those knobs.....
