Today I have met my first b3tan in the pub
in our very own Barry from Eastenders. I was both shocked and disappointed to find he is neither:

a. Barry
b. From Eastenders

Honestly, he isnt even bald or fat. Shocking

What has shocked you today?

Alt Q:
What have you done for the first time recently?

Sorry.

Deliberate or accidental?
And which pub?
(I helped save b3ta! Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 1 Dec 2010, 14:09, Reply)
Deliberate
and The Forth
(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 14:10, Reply)
Nice choice.
I like the Forth, especially now that they've done away with what were the quite frankly appalling gents toilets, and created a nice snug alcove thingy with comfy chairs instead.
(I helped save b3ta! Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 1 Dec 2010, 14:12, Reply)
Just how comfy do you expect the gents to be?

(I helped save b3ta! JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 14:13, Reply)
You obviously haven't been to the Forth Jeff!
The bogs looked remarkably like some kind of dungeon!

I haven't been there for years but it is a quality drinking establishment
(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 14:15, Reply)
When you spend your entire time hanging around in them like Davvers does,
comfort is an important consideration.
(I helped save b3ta! Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 14:15, Reply)
This is all very true.
I'd like it if they could install cushions at head height just above the urinals to give me somewhere to rest my drunken head during particularly long, lazy pisses though.
(I helped save b3ta! Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 1 Dec 2010, 14:18, Reply)
I was once propositioned by a mate in the bogs there
on a night out. He wandered in and shouted "Hi sailor, fancy a good time". His only problem was, I was in the bar at the time and the bloke who looked like me turned him down.

I still cannot believe the daft prick told me this!

The Forth is easily the best pub in Newcastle, not that there's much competition.

I quite like the Bodega
And the Bacchus, although that gets rammed.
(I helped save b3ta! Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 1 Dec 2010, 15:53, Reply)
The Bodega is class as well. In truth there are a dozen or so class pubs in Newcastle, but the contrast between them and the rest is massive.
Where's The Bacchus?

I mean, I left my car window down a crack last night and it rained all up in my car but that's not too shocking

Or:
"I can't get to work on time and it is the train's fault waaaaaah."

Well, leave a little bit earlier, you slack jawed fucker. I concede that complaining is fine in some instances though, especially as Network Rail farcically claimed that they had the resources in place to run a decent service should it start to snow. And then they promptly shat the bed.

What are you reading?
I liked The Pickwick Papers and Nicholas Nickelby.

I have gone for 'A Christmas Carol'
But have basically downloaded all of Dickens' work. It's all free on the Kindle App, for those of you with smart whizzy phones. Or iPads. Or Kindles. Or laptops, for that matter.

REAL books, al. REAL books with the tangible pleasure of seeing them and touching them and turning the pages... not this electronic crap!

I can't imagine tucking myself in bed at night to read a kindle.

Nope, I disagree.
I love a real book, I really do - but carrying an e-reader on the train is so much easier than trying to balance a big ol' book on the back of someone's head. Also it means I can take a newspaper and multiple books with me. For commuting and travelling, they're very convenient.

But having your battery run out is really fucking annoying. But still, only having to take one book on holiday, but that one book containing everything Terry Pratchett, Carl Hiassen and Christopher Brookmyre has written is quite wonderful.

My grandfather, a professor of English of some renown,
always said Dickens was a load of sentimental claptrap.

I love Dickens but I'm not sentimental in the least.

(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 15:08, Reply)
I don't like Dickens
but I can acknowledge that he's good. Just too ponderous for me. His best works are the odder short ones like The Mystery of Edwin Drood (unfinished sadly) and A Tale of Two Cities

it's the way he wrote that impresses me, rather than what he wrote
woke up, drunk and debauched, realised he needed to make more money, didn't even read last week's offering, just dashed off a load more story at "a penny a line".

It's like Ray Bradbury
writing Farhenheit 451 in about two weeks because he really desperately needed the money

To be fair
most families who look after their children's education do tend to pass on their own prejudices as well in the matter of literature. Not just Monty's

Thank God my parents didn't look after mine then.
Although I did once find a book by Solgenizkin at my dads once. Fuck knows what he was doing with it.

Count yourself lucky
my mother made me read a third of Great Expectations aloud when when I was eight or nine, despite the fact that we both loathe it as a book

He means ‘Hoss’ from ‘Bonanza’. Interfered with him when he was a boy, apparently.
