Easter 1916
I have just ordered it from Amazon. I have ordered the barrytown trilogy which includes the snapper, the committments and the van. Thank you for reminding me of it. I think I saw it on tv once and really enjoyed it, as well as the committments - did not know it was by the same author. |

Excellent. I'll await my royalties cheque. You did the right thing ordering the trilogy too. The book (The Snapper) is so much better than the film, I promise, a comment which might not be true of the Commitments. With luck you will wet yourself laughing! Incidentally, there is a semi-sequel to the Commitments entitled The Deportees which you may want to check out later.

Thanks, your highness. I have come to really like living on my own and I really cannot be bothered to go out and find a man. I used to loathe standing around at clubs waiting to be asked to dance. I used to just keep thinking I could be at home, curled up with a good book. I just miss someone to watch football, racing, films and have sex with. It is not the same hugging yourself when your team scores!

thanks, Easter :)

Annie.. From memory of mid 80s all women waited to be asked to dance and 90 percent liked to say no in a humiliating way making the brave asker feel the size of a pea...

Football, racing, films and sex. I'd hate that!

By:
annie, who is your team?
|
|
By:
She'd probably insist on drinking beer too, HRH. Imagine that!

lol, your highness

Reyes.. hands nailed to a cross and die quite young and have half the world not beilieve in you... hmmmmmmm

Actually, Easter, I have John Smiths and Boddingtons in my fridge right now! But I would rather die than order bitter on a date!

In a way I support the team that I have bet on! Being a woman I have not felt the need to support one team whole heartedly. I started off supporting Tottenham, because my father and brothers did, then it was West Ham because of a fanatical exboyfriend, then it was Brighton because I lived there and now I do not know.
I know one thing, though. If Jose Mourinho came back to Britain I would support whoever he managed :) He makes me smile. |

Note to self: Kidnap Aston Villa chairman Randy Lerner, hold him at gunpoint and get him to fire Martin and hire the Portugeezer. Bloody women make you do the stupidist things.

That is really surprising, Easter. I suspect the price of beer compared to wine has a lot to do with it :) I would still order a wine, though.
|

By:
RR wants to come back as me?
I find that slightly surprising |

By:
ROFL, your highness. If the date on New Years Eve had had your sense of humour I would have been smitten.

Opps reyes.. you had mentioned Jesus on another thread.. ignore me

lol RR - i get it now!

I don't know annie, I think I'd rather you ordered champagne if that's what you wanted. At least I'd know you weren't the girl for me before it went much further. I'd be trying to get my money's worth of course!
Hopefully, what that survey suggests is that men prefer women to be themselves and not behave how they think they ought to. |
|
By:
Suprised anyone would put that much thought in to the situation. Unless it was really obvious someone was nervously sipping away at something that clearly wasn't their usual tipple as they were 'on their best behaviour' which of course won't work as you are trying to be someone you're not from the start.

By:
Actually, Easter, I adore champagne. However, I have never ordered it on a date. The last time I had champagne in a pub was when Brighton got promoted and I ordered a bottle for myself and drunk it in the beer garden!
I would not order bitter because I would not feel feminine drinking it. I like to dress feminine on a date and put on my prettiest undies and wear stockings - even though I never sleep with someone on the first date. Drinking bitter would spoil it for me, not them. |

I really need Jose Mourinho's phone number now

Your highness, I have bitter in my fridge as I find that it is not a drink that I have to have. Unlike wine or spirits which would be gone the same day. I have to go out of an evening to buy wine, I cannot keep it in the fridge - unlike the bitter. I do drink bitter in the pub when on my own, but I also drink wine, gin and tonic, vodka and orange, whiskey and coke and port. My current favourite, because of the weather, is red wine.

By:
Are you implying I am an alcoholic, your highness :(
|
|
By:
:) Only if that lot is your lunch! I'm sort of trying to cut down a bit, the only trouble is occasionally when I go out the wheels come off! I fancy less cold beer in winter than summer anyway, and only really drink wine or bourbon otherwise these days.
|
|
By:
I am the same, your highness. It is not the weather for cold bitter. I am trying to cut down too. I go to the pub, but I only drink a small glass of red wine and then come home. Lately I have been drinking wine spritzers at home to cut down.
