I went crazy trying to follow it and he's still here. Which of course I am super shocked about.

Also I regret "I think you should try this sangria...."

I definitely don't regret the sangria

It did get me a lot closer to my 5 a day

Despite what Ma and Pa say
Cigarettes don't count as one of your 5 a day.

I've always maintained
that chocolate should be one of your five a day. It comes from a bean, right? Beans are vegetables...

On a similar note
'Hey, why don't you try this cheeky vimto?'

I still remain unsure as to whether my drink was spiked that night or whether I was just ludicrously hammered. Either way, I was Not At All Well.

It actually tastes ok
but you're drinking 4 drinks at once... with blackcurrant.

When I said it tastes ok
I drank it when I was a fresher and freshers are retarded.

Anything and black is surely repulsive?
And anything + cider + black must be even worse, no?

I have to say I am (blissfully) guessing, here...

I like a cider every so often.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 16:47, Reply)

Even thinking of the word cider makes me want to be sick.
I will never, ever again in my life drink it. I couldn't drink vodka or longlife orange juice for a period of 10 years once.

Monty I was really looking forward to meeting you on Saturday
and was really disappointed you went cottaging instead
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 16:55, Reply)

I am most terribly sorry.
I would have loved to attend, but I'm afraid any offer of unsupervised child access (or any access at all) will take priority over anything. If I was asked to play guitar for Tractor one night , I would STILL pick babysitting.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 16:59, Reply)

We were actually debating if it counts
as babysitting when it's your own kid?
and I did eventually forgive you
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 17:01, Reply)

My ex says it doesn't count as babysitting,
but I have been unable to think of a better term. I am pleased to hear you've let me off. I did really want to be there.

EDIT and you are in the top few of my 'must meet' B3tans list*

You're definitely on mine
Along with DJTP, Vipros, Roota and Al.

I will not be impressed if that happens
I'm already mildly annoyed that 65daysofstatic clash with Alice Cooper. I want to see 65days, but want Alice Cooper to see my sign proclaiming to be a shit radio DJ.

you could
half and half it. Are 65daysofstatic not on the Saturn stage then? Thought they were for some reason

That's pretty much exactly why I want to meet him
So I can see what he's actually like

He's a fat bender.
Actually in truth he just laughs all the time - but maybe that's just because I'M FUCKING HILARIOUS TO GO OUT WITH.

You do have some peculiar ideas, young man.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 17:48, Reply)

I don't see any point in thinking the way most people do.
that's what got us in this predicament in the first place.

Also, I'm slightly delirious at the moment.

I'd be nice though, no spiking!

You're right
I would accept a drink if only for the novelty factor. Just not gin. Or JD.

Novelty?!
Me buying someone a drink is never a novelty, young lady!

On the whole, I've found b3tans to all be generous with buying others drinks
Special mention must go to plentyofants and Spikeypickle, as both have got me drunk more than once!
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 16:57, Reply)

I try not to think about how much I spend at bashes on booze
If I'm going to the bar I'll ask if people want a drink, unless I really don't like them.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 16:58, Reply)

I do the same, when I can
It's just that more than once I've had bashes the weekend before payday, so I've settled myself in the knowledge I'm being careful with my drinks, and I've been ambushed at this time.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 17:01, Reply)

I should probably start
saving up for the one in October. I'm perma-skint but I'd rather not come across as tighter than a nun's chuff. My bank account does whimper at the thought of london prices though, I must admit. Hey ho. It's going to be awesome regardless - I might have to pregame on the train or something...
(berk, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 17:05, Reply)

I'm looking at it, and I know I can get there for cheap, and get a hostel nearby for cheap
But that's about it. A week later and I'd be fine, but it's the week before midday.

This one looks especially cheap
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 17:11, Reply)

The pub we went to
last bash was actually reasonable for London standards. A double gin G & T was about £4.00 I think.

I think I bought drinks for other people and I definitely remember a couple of people buying me some
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 17:32, Reply)

Bizarrely
that's the one I've got bookmarked - I couldn't give a shit about the reviews for £12. Although I'm sure when I bookmarked it it was something insane like £8. Oh well - it's still considerably cheaper than a travelodge or summat.
