That's actually inexcusable. I hope you've never forgiven them.

Alcohol on your 18th birthday? WHOA! It was a full bottle, Nearly killed me tbh, I woke up in the bath with the last glass of it in my hand, Do people often give half empty bottles? Depends whether you're an optimist or a pessimist, I reckon.

Definitely. I think it's true of many, that you get to a certain age in life where you're impressed by very little, and question everything. 90% of this board is at that stage I feel. Then again, 90% of everything on Internet messageboards is a lie.

Well, i would much rather he pulled himself out of it and lived a normal life, but that doesnt look likely As I said, if he's going to die of it then etc. I'd also far rather he got over it, but I agree, the signs aren't exactly sparkling.

Quirky!

Did it have a tag on it saying "This bottle will self-destruct on your 18th-birthday-plus-one-day" or something?

Haven't seen them, but please don't tell me they're like those things you make in cookery at school when you're 9. The very same, Martin. The very same. I'll do you a tupperware box of Rice Krispies ones for a quid.

And she calls herself a good friend? Disappointing effort tbqh.

Regardless of whether it's a disease or not, if he's going to die of it, I hope it happens sooner rather than later so he's still got some chance of being remembered with fondness. Not that dragging it out in the media for decades seems to have hurt George Best's legacy much.

At the same time, Stevie's been around long enough to know that we're a bunch of cynical, wizened, mistrustful old bastards who can't take anything or anyone seriously when there's a sarcastic stab to be had.

Surely the game wasn't playable with any degree of accuracy though. Unless her friendship circle happens to include a lot of people with sailor hats, comedy glasses, red moustaches etc.

I gave Bjarni Gudjonsson a blow-job based on much the same logic.

I sat in a Sinclair C5 somewhere in Team Valley shortly after Frank Bruno had done the same.

My current one was taken at Mainz station after a night's worth of whisky, an hour's worth of sleep and several early-morning dealings with evil German bureaucracy. Which makes it a pretty accurate representation of how I look whenever I'm passing through an airport, so that's fine by me...

That sounds filthy too. Bunch of smutmongers in this thread.

Those the fellas who propositioned mancy?

In your own thread and all! The shame. Blatantly just an excuse to unload the guilty burden of your paintbrush-related tainting of a gift given in good faith.

I only ever go out 'there' on my scooter. Most of the girls don't want to know Go to Hamburg snakey, the girls even provide their own car! It's quite interesting to see how senior they are in their occupation by what make and model they have underneath them. And what type of car they have.

I read one of his books ages ago. 'Downsize This'. It was ok. "Stupid White Men" really pissed me off. I thought the title was meant to refer to the subject matter, not the target audience (and the whole thing was weirdly me-me-me all the way through, but I suppose that's just his style). Will give him another chance if I see one of his other books in the wasteland that is Lewisham Library though.

Come on people, what's with all these good claims to fame? We've heard them all before, this thread is for the really shit ones Oh and: I could've sworn you were going to say something else there.

I'll add "Wish he could write well" to that list. Suppose it's good that someone like him's around though, a Fox News-style oversimplifier for the left.

That sounds filthy.

You're a poet and you were unaware of the validity of this claim
