I feel like such a grown up.
If I invite people to a barbecue, I wouldn't expect them to bring anything at all. If I'm the host, surely that implies that I'm planning on feeding them?

This whole 'I brought this, I'm only eating this, you eat your own food' sounds a bit studenty to me.

The 'make a pudding' idea is a good one though. Or, what about drink - either a bottle of spirit or a case of beer or soft drink.

Alt: working. yay.

What work are you doing this weekend b3th?
You could go on the pier. I'd imagine it'll be great on a bank holiday weekend.

I sold a huge load of stuff the other day, and it needs posting on Tuesday.
That means I have to spend most of tomorrow packing up parcels. Joy.

I'll be on the pier in a couple of weeks. You know, for an advance recce.

Did you make a fortune on the 'gear' you sold?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 28 Aug 2011, 16:38, Reply)

Not a fortune, un'fortune'ately
but it *has* been a pretty good month.

Woohoo!
What have you been selling recently?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 28 Aug 2011, 16:41, Reply)

A lot of electrical/engineering gear recently
and some other technical stuff. To be honest, I don't really know what most of it does. I just do teh typing and the packing.

Even students don't do that
but whether you're bringing food or not, always bring drink.

I hate it when people go to resturants with sharing food, like chinese, and they're all like "BUT I ORDERED THIS AND YOU ORDERED THAT".
Unless someone says at the start, before you go, or someone is in a dire money situation.

That's the deal.
Same with rounds in pubs - if you state from the off that you are doing your own thing then fine - just don't pipe up at the end and break out a calculator like a crass, ill-mannered boor.

I like to pick a fight with someone around the time just before the bill comes and storm out.

I prefer the old 'pretend to go the loo but really exit via he kitchens' trick

It's double good to dip your finger in EVERYTHING on the way out.
