I've already run out of port.
Had a word with the marketing people and Port and Y-fronts Monday has now been re-branded as Red wine, Camel Blues and Y-fronts Monday. Please let others know.

Red wine IS the new port

More a tee-pee than a fort.

It's pretty rank.
But I feel the y-fronts part of today is more important than port and I'd have to get dressed to go out and get more. I am unwilling to do this.

Ring a cab
Get it to go to the offy and pay for the lot when it gets to yours.

There used be a 24 hr offy round here
That would deliver to you any time of day or night.
Their target market was pissed post-pub people who wanted to keep drinking and were prepared/drunk enough to pay over the odds. It was a good business model.

I've lived near places that would do it over the years.
Great idea.

Tesco by me is 24 hour except for Sunday
Sunday trading laws are fucking ridiculous, why the fuck do they exist?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 9 Jan 2012, 12:53, Reply)

Because shopping on Sunday makes God angry.

You kids don't know how good you've got it
The old gits on here could tell you about the ghost towns of their youth, come Sunday. How pubs would shut all afternoon. Then only open for a few hours in the evening. That is why oldies like Monty and Stunned turned to recreational drugs - there was fuck all else to do.

It makes me feel ancient
when I remember Sunday afternoons as a student in Manchester, getting kicked out of The Queen of Hearts at 3 and not being allowed back until 6. Luckily the Asian Supermarket had no truck with UK licencing laws. Sadly they also had no truck with reasonable UK prices, £2 for a can of warm Fosters was a lot of money to a poor student in 1992.

Wait, I'm not talking to you because you made me cry up there ^

I made you cry? Where?
I remember visiting a friend at uni in Leeds in 1994 on a Sunday afternoon. He knew how to treat guests - within an hour of our arrival he had taken us on a round trip to score some hash, via an off-license he knew would serve us out of hours. Good times.
