Things To Do While Waiting For Death... 2006

[Lady Grendel 137]

You Are Heineken

 

 

You appreciate a good beer, but you're not a snob about it.

You like your beer mild and easy to drink, so you can concentrate on being drunk.

Overall, you're a friendly drunk who's likely to buy a whole round for your friends... many times.

Sometimes you can be a bit boring when you drink. You may be prone to go on about topics no one cares about

 

 

That's a polite way of saying I talk a load of sh*t when I'm drunk, very true!

[BrunoBrimley 83]

Right now as I await the knock of the mortician at the door I am listening to the rain cascade down the side of the garret and am mulling over clipping my nails. A little later I may indulge in random madness......at TooheyWorld/Random_Madness

[Captain Oates 21]

You Are Guinness

 

 

You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.

Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.

When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.

But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around.

 

What's Your Beer Personality?

 

 

So untrue, it's amazing! I have very little knowledge about beer. "Best in the world" applies to my preferences in general, though.

 

How does a preference for pubcrawling in Amsterdam lead to Guinness?

I am a Guinness too.

 

I also put Amsterdam as my prefered venue for a pubcrawl, so perhaps there is a connection .

You Are Olde English

 

 

Drinking is more than a hobby for you. It's your favorite drug.

When you drink, you want to get wasted. As quickly and cheaply as possible.

Looking back on your best times drinking... well, you don't remember them at all.

You may be a few brain cells short, but you still can chug a 40!

hmm.....good thing I had to give it up recently....I wouldn't be caught dead with Olde English.... (I refuse to verify the veracity of the rest of it....check my past posts to detemine it for yourselves.)

I too put Amsterdam as my choice when it comes to pubcrawling but I got Heineken.

You Are Bud Light

 

 

You're not fussy when it comes to beer. If someone hands it to you, you'll drink it.

In fact, you don't understand beer snobbery at all. It all tastes the same once you're drunk!

You're an enthusiastic drinker, and you can often be found at your neighborhood bar.

You're pretty good at holding your liquor too - you've had lots of experience.

intresting result considering i have never been drunk,never drank a whole bottle of beer and i am only 17, so i can't even go to drink in clubs/pubs.

Aahh, that explains it. I particularly like the fact that the breakfast at Nelly's is only served from noon until 4pm.

Yup, that's me to a tea.

[Lady Die 63]

Did anyone see that prog on Channel 4 last night about the guys who clean up after people have been found dead? They specialise in cleaning up after someone's lain undiscovered for days/weeks. The first sign to neighbours is usually the sight of lots of flies inside the flat/house. Lots of lovely maggots & body fluids.

Yes, I did.

 

I think my favourite line from the show was when they were interviewing the guy who own the body removal company and he was talking about the first removal he ever did. He said that he had spoken with some of the neighbours and one of them had said how the deceased had been such a good friend etc., and the removal guy was like: well then, how come you didn't notice he was dead for, like, nine weeks?

 

In fact, last night there were several pseudo-docs about death and dead bodies on the telly. There was the one mentioned by Lady Die on Channel 4 (which showed goo, seepage, and bugs, but no bodies), there was one called Dead Man Talking: an Autopsy Special on C5 (which, admittedly, was all about forensics and didn't really show any bodies at all), and there was also Death Detective on BBC3 (which showed bodies and body parts, though never the face of the deceased), which is a series where a real-life pathologist is followed around, and filmed conducting different autopsies in order to discover cause of death, etc. It struck me, watching this last programme, that it appeared to be pretty much the same thing and when G von Hagens performed the public autopsy on C4 a few years ago, but GvH almost got arrested, whereas the Upright British Pathologist did not. Either times have changed, or there was some sort of aesthetic difference between the two. Maybe it was because for the GvH autopsy there was a live audience present.

This programmes are like buses. None for ages, then three come along at once.

 

Also Silent Witness was on last night. Only fictional, but lots of good autopsy scenes.

Thanks Handrejka, that has made my day and probably the week! For those unsure of whether to visit this site: -

Yesterday I was sitting in my car when a beautiful young woman walked by. She wore tight jeans and a fitted blouse over a lovely figure. She had long legs, a shapely behind, a slim waist and was altogether a beautiful sight. She was also wearing an Islamic black headscarf.

What kind of hypocritcal nonsense have these people introduced to our country?

And that's fairly mild, although please note exceptional use of the phrase 'these people', especially in conjunction with 'our country'. Textbook Daily Mail shite; the tabloid that thinks it's a broadsheet, although more worryingly so do its readers.

Participate in a game of "assassin", across the streets of London, using water pistols.

 

http://streetwars.net/london2006.php

 

Actually, it's too late to sign up, but the game starts today, and who knows, might come to your town next (Maryport perhaps?). I played a version of this in university (with dart guns) and, not realising it was 12:05 a.m. was "killed" moments after the game started by the resident computer geek in our dorm. No doubt The Mail and others will say what an outrage this is at this time of heightened security, but for the people playing I'd imagine it's a lot of fun.

This would also allow one to drive in the "carpool only" lanes they have in the States. Kind of reminds me of this exceedingly tasteful gift idea - the inflatable arm boyfriend replacement.
