Re: Silliest reason for 'going back'
 

I can relate to the "missed the football" reason, as there isn't any decent football here (not even the Melbourne Victory, I'm afraid), but if you "can't get a decent pint" then you're simply not trying hard enough!

When I was living in The Bahamas my parents came over from the UK for a visit, and on the following day I flew to the UK to see a football match (the "Greatest Game" play-off final between Charlton and Sunderland which finished 4-4 and which Charlton won 7-6 on penalties).

Luckily they understood, as they were fans too, but had booked their trip before Charlton had qualified for the play-offs.

I only stayed two days and came straight back!

I hope that is the case.

But then you get people giving reasons and all of the reasons are a bit like that.

And then you picture the people and think...I KNOW these people...

I think I'll add that to my bucket list :lol:

No wonder you didn't like it - someone forgot the beer!

Badge - in your perfect world having "disdain for the whole supermarket foible" I am sure is a wonderful trait. :)

not sure, maybe its just me who's weird ...:confused:

TBH the beer was not a problem and it must be good by the way the blokes sit on their eskies guarding it with their lives.
I wasn't to keen on what was referred to as the "abo's handbags" (the wine box things). Watching the ladies tear open the box and squeeze the last few drips down their throats was quite unbecoming:blink:
The kids enjoyed the fairy bread though:blink: the aussies could be on to a winner there:thumbsup:

Re: Silliest reason for 'going back'
 

I'd have to agree.

Everyone knows the best way to get the last few drops out is to blow up the nozzle (and no, that's not a euphemism :D)

the bladders make handy pillows too for when you're crashed out in the gutter.

(not you personally)

Re: Silliest reason for 'going back'
 

could be where the term "bladdered" come from!

those aussies :lol:

Re: Silliest reason for 'going back'
 

I'm glad you clarified it was a generic you.

I've never crashed out in the gutter - kids playground, yes, gutter, no.

I like classy ladies :wub:

Doesn't everybody do that? :unsure:

I've had a good life. Been a good 'un. An interesting one. A lucky one, even a charmed one at times, but not a perfect one. I'm not sure what perfect would be.
