Tonight will see me at what promises to be a shite
18th, as only about 8-10 of the people going will actually speak to me, the others having decided to pretend I don't exist since I left my hell-hole of a high school for a fantastic college.

Plus, I now have to pay for a new battery for my watch so won't even have enough money to get wankered.

I plan to MTFU and save the evening by waiting til the birthday girl gets wasted, then sneaking out to meet some other friends.

What are you not looking forward to this weekend?

Save your money and buy a sundial.

ummm
new watch batteries cost about £7 fitted.

so either: you are a cheap date, or you are being ripped off
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:47, Reply)

I have exactly £11 to my name.
And am an absolute lightweight, so can easily get drunk for that much. But I don't think even I can do it for £4.

If it was a party where more people liked me, I'd turn on the legs and get drinks bought for me.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:51, Reply)

Poor effort.
You can get two bottles of wine for that.
( Cawl, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:54, Reply)

Can't drink wine,
I'm a spirits girl.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:56, Reply)

How do you know, if you don't try.
I drank wine last night.
A bottle of wine is only two pint glasses.
It's very easy to neck a pint glass of anything.
( Cawl, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:57, Reply)

Ok.
I take up this challenge, and will try my hardest to get drunk for £4.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:01, Reply)

I told you NOT TO GET A WATCH BATTERY!
*shakes head slowly*
It's hardly an essential, is it?
( Cawl, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:03, Reply)

Well, me getting drunk for £11
Is hardly a challenge!
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:05, Reply)

two bottle for £4
that's not really wine is it now?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:59, Reply)

Yeah.
If you ignore the plastic bottle.
My mate went to France a few weeks back and got me a bottle of wine for 61p.
I've not tried it yet.
( Cawl, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:00, Reply)

I drink Asda smart price vodka
Because I'm a poor student, so provided I drink something very nice very fast beforehand, I probably wouldn't care.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:02, Reply)

I hear that if you put cheap vodka through a water filter jug it comes out quite nice
I love vodka. nice and shit. drank a litre and a half of vladivar once.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:14, Reply)

I'll have to try that.
That's very impressive. I prefer So-co though. And also vermouth, but I don't know what the hell it is.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:18, Reply)

Vladivar's the "good stuff".
Compared to what I used to drink.
Pavlov's where it's at.
It had a picture of a guy on a tractor on the label.
( Cawl, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:21, Reply)

A quick google reveals the following:
"This stuff lies on the boundary of low grade vodka/high grade solvent - and probably on the wrong side. I cannot emphasise enough how much this should not be ingested sans modification."
( Cawl, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:23, Reply)

fantastic
these days I only tend to drink high class vodka, because I can afford it and don't drink it by the pint.

many happy events sitting with a pint of vodka gradually topping it up with OJ or similar as I drank it down.

i tried the whole Brita filter
thing a few years back and it didn't seem to make an appreciable difference.

the thing, the filters for the Brita are about £3-£4, which are unusable after you have filtered the voodoo, so why not just buy a half decent bottle of vodka to begin with?

you can get usually get the flavoured Absolut for about £11 or so when it is on offer, and its loveliness is well worth the spend...keep it in your freezer and drink neat shots of it with very dark chocolate 705 cocoa plus, or better still, the 99% cocoa Lindt stuff....it is extremely delicious and the mixture tastes like a very expensive liqueur.

either that, buy tesco's own make 'dry cider' for 50p a can it's a lovely, cheap, credit crunch cargo!
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:52, Reply)

I can't stand flavoured vodka
Absolut in particular.

for a medium priced bottle Boru is what you want. Irish vodka FTW!

good to have some proper opinion on the water filter thing though
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 11:57, Reply)

yeah
the smirnoff flovoured stuff is pure wank, but the absolut is lovely, subtle and smooth... any flavour, except chilli, will suffice.

if i cant get that i usually head for the Zubrowka, thats the green coloured 'bison vodka' - www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=1183

it is superb with apple juice, preferably freshly juiced stuff, if you are feeling really posh. lovely, unique taste.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 12:05, Reply)

Well, now that you're 18
why not spend the day doing a porn shoot? I hear it pays quite well.

Edit - Sorry, I now realise it's not actually your birthday party.

Just don't get a watch battery.
You've got a mobile phone with the time on.
Watch Battery is not a pressing urgency.
( Cawl, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:47, Reply)

Sheesh how much is your watch battery?!
Why bother going at all? MTFU and don't bother

The girl whose 18th it is was my best friend in high school.
It's not her fault most of her friends are dicks.

Speaking to 8-10 people
really isn't a washout, that's still enough people to talk to all night.

And various other watch-related posts.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:49, Reply)

As above
Forget the watch battery. Just ask someone else the time.

And then invite the 8 or 10 people who will actually speak to you to go somewhere other than the original venue, leaving high and dry the twats who aren't really your friends.

It's too far from next weekend. I recommend spitting in those people's who won't talk to you's drinks and then stealing them.
