Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

I guess I should be happy they are, which I am, but somewhat irritated that a dealer I've dealt with for my last few motors is giving me a crappy deal on a car they would charge top dollar for as it's their brand.
That's because Renault know the electrics are:
a) not working
b) about to stop working

Losing a treasured hat over the weekend. Had it 20 years and i think some prick has nabbed it off my had for a laugh whilst i was half cut. I can't get a like for like replacement so i'm pretty peeved
Had the kids in the car, just about to drive off when I realised I didn't have it. 5 minutes back inside the house looking, but couldn't find it anywhere. So had to drop them off and come back to the house to look again. Eventually found it hung up in the wardrobe in yesterdays trousers.
That's not losing it, that's temporarily misplacing it.
Mine is lost lost, in the back of a cab most likely never to be seen again. 5 separate debit/credit cards to cancel, driving license, numerous other membership cards etc and worst of all a caffe nero loyalty card with a full 9 stamps thus entitling me to a FREE coffee.

You lost a hat whilst you were wearing it?
That takes some doing I would have thought.

I bet you were also a little bit more than "half cut" not to notice?

Deffo wouldn't have taken it off. I need a haircut so the hat was masking the terrible bonce. I was pretty merry but in no way completely smashed. When i'm really drunk i dont remember anything yet i remember the whole of the night. Tis a mystery.
Airport terminals, and in particular the fact that most have been renovated or designed such that passengers are forced to walk through the duty free section before reaching their gates.
Firstly they tend to be windy paths to ensure potential customers pass as many different products as possible and secondly I do not want to try Laphroaig whisky or Hugo Boss aftershave at 6.30 in the b*stard morning!!!

That reminds me, the bloody skybridge at Gatwick that plays sounds from Yangtze out the hundred speakers next to the walkway. Had to go along it twice recently... does my nut.
