Dunno whether somebody has mentioned him before, but Jim McDonald in Cornation Street does my head in "so he does", with his big broad accent and the way he finishes his sentences "so I do". Glad to see the back of the balax!!  >:(
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.

I was standing in the chippie this evening (diet starts Monday) and had ordered and all and these two came him, man and a woman about 30, he was wearing gloves and a scarf hanging around his knees. THey head up to the counter chatting away, the girl tried to get their attention by calling them 3 or 4 times  ::)  They eventually copped on they'd have to order something, they ordered curry chip, the girl put it through the till and to their amazement she asked for money.  Out comes both their purses! (I swear he had a woman's purse) to count out the 2p coins - after five minutes they handed it over - the girl then had to count it, they were 15p short and out came the purses again. 
They get the curry chip quickly enough anyway and the two of them sit down with two forks  ::)

That sort of shite grinds my gears.
Which one of you bitches wants to dance?

I hate it when men put coins in that little pouch in a wallet
Its just wrong to put coins in your wallet IMO it's not a purse ffs

Always good to get the change out of your wallet though. Millions lost to the economy every year through small coins effectively being out of use.
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

Ah because Pints says, f**k me you weren't even behind them, you had ordered and you still took exception, why cause it annoys you.  So lets be straight anything that you do that annoys anyone else f**k them, anything others do that isn't in Pintsland, they have serious issues, get some sleep man, you need it.

And they were probably glad of the change.

I can tell the difference between two skint people looking for something to eat and a ponce with a scarf at his knees and a woman's purse.

Nice to have you back stalking me though.
