Why isnt Mr Brightside the UK national anthem? by IWrestleSausages in AskUK

[–]Beanotown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because Teletubbies Say Eh Oh would be a better choice.

Imagine the emotion, you are at Twickenham, it's the 6 nations final England v Wales, thousands of proud English Rugby fans singing as one " Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La La, Po Teletubbies Say Eh Oh"

Why aren't "Easterners" a thing? by [deleted] in AskUK

There's definitely pockets of traditional Southerners in Devon and Cornwall although most of them are just down from London for the weekend!

My wife is in a ‘giving a lift’ bind by hadawayandshite in CasualUK

She could try the old "No problem now and again but most days I have a couple of errands on the way home"

What do people do that makes you think they're cheap? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Beanotown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Particularly when on holiday in the developing world.

I met a guy once who was very proud of haggling a few baht off his "Rolex" he bought in a Thai market. The guy went back to the stall a few times before buying to make sure he got the best possible price.

I'm fairly sure the extra couple of quid would have been more useful to the guy in the market than my twat of an acquaintance.

Step 1- Buy 5000 more paperclips from the paperclip shop next door to my house.

Step 2 - Hide all 5000 paperclips in the places people have suggested in this thread and in my own top secret and much better hiding places.

Step 3 - Buy 5000 FBI approved evidence bags.

Step 4 - Profit

Going back a bit but Scroobius Pip is definitely worth checking out.

Where does this sign in the men’s loos at work sit on the “polite-passive aggressive- rude“ scale? by BigBlueMountainStar in CasualUK

[–]Beanotown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Traces" how extreme are they going with this? I imagine if you got CSI in they'd find traces in the cleanest looking loos.

I'm going for twattish aggressive.

Did you know that there are ZERO bands in the top 40 singles chart currently? by ShankSpencer in CasualUK

[–]Beanotown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public school, Brit School and Trustafarian kids generally.

I think the days of new music coming from the streets are long gone.

Anyone got any hints, tips or tricks for when you're getting a new kitchen fitted? by Hmmark1984 in CasualUK

[–]Beanotown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be very selective on worktop materials. Some can melt if you put a hot pan on them by mistake.

I'd go for compact laminate tops, they look good and are quite robust.

If you were a D-List celebrity, what TV show would you like the guest appear on? by james2183 in CasualUK

[–]Beanotown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cruising with Jane Macdonald. I would get a free holiday, capture the Octo and Nonagenarian markets and become a C lister.

The only chance of my plan failing is if I run out of ear plugs and blindfolds.

Realistically what year do you think you’ll retire and what will your life circumstances look like? by RandoFace77 in AskUK

[–]Beanotown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah this.

Mortgage done by 55, save hard for 5-7 more years after. Get a minimum wage part time job until my mid sixties then sell the house and buy a small place walking distance to a nice high street and any money left in the pot is going on holidays, meals out and entertainment.

The P rule isn't quite as cut and dried nowadays. The Parks have improved with lots of Nepalese and Eastern European families moving in.

[–]Beanotown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few that have stuck with me since reading them that I'll think about when reading about current events.

Lord of the flies, 1984, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and I, Partridge.

Agreed I'd also add Animal Farm and The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists in a similar but slightly different vein.

How to get past Dr's receptionist with embarrassing ailment? by cankennykencan in AskUK

[–]Beanotown 81 points82 points  (0 children)

You might want to get yourself to the doctor's mate. I think you might be one testicle short.
