ranty rant rant rant
My first ever proper b3ta 'list-y' (and inebriated) rant and probably not my last, however, tightwads, I’ve known a few:

This person knows who they are: i probably brought you upwards of 1,000 pints - even paid your rent a couple of times and your phone bill when you were down on your luck* - now you've been back in work for 18 months. Could you find it in yourself to buy me just ONE pint. No. Thanks.

*Eventually I’d get paid back and all those 50pence installments did teach me to become savvy with my own finances.

The girl at uni who asked me for three pence - THREE PENCE - contribution towards the number of matches i had used out of a box to light the oven with.

A family I know so tight that they have a teeney-tiny washing line next to the sink complete with large scale clothes hooks to hang out tea bags on so they can be dried and re-used. Now I’m all in favour of rob’s two cups one bag crusade but pleaasssseee – your tea tastes like it was rinsed off the ginger ones hair.

That is all…

Ooh
now, let me guess... you're just a teensy bit pissed off, aren't you..?

Me and the Sweary one keep talking about getting up to the Sun sometime... must stop talking and start doing.

tight families
This wasn't the same family whose house smelled of boiled mince, said house being painted with second-hand paint, and who made you water down the milk before putting it on your morning cereal was it?

If I didn't live amongst Aberdonians
I'd not believe you.

However, I do live amongst Aberdonians, and can honestly say I'm amazed that your relatives splash out on bog roll.

They really are some of the most cynical, tight-fisted people you'll ever meet.

Mrs Sandwich's grandparents live in Aberdeen
I believe this.

See, I'm the opposite when it comes to tea
If it's not a double-bag job then it's not tea.
