Domestic Problems Number Two

[RABun]

or the other Scottish thing of "where do you stay?" instead of "where do you live?" thats weird too, i don't stay there i live there. I stay in a hotel or a B&B or on someones sofa.

I have never heard 'mind' used instead of 'remember' but it does make sense in a tartan sort of way. I am trying to think of any Devon peculiarities but none spring to mind, except for "the Cornish make shit pasties. And cream teas." They say that sort of thing.

no it isn't! what if you're skint and can only afford a 6 pack of beer for yourself? you're supposed to share it with everyone? f**k that.

don't think that's the best example. cos if it's a decent sized party, there will be more booze going round so you'll probably get a better share than 6.

what would piss me off is that if i brought a good beer like tyskie and put it in the fridge, and smelly c**ts that brought carling got tore into mine before drinking their own. leaving me having to drink carling later on.

At almost every party I have ever been too or hosted the general format is everyone brings enough beer for themselves and the host usually puts on a couple of creates / wine / soft drinks...

The host general ends up with more beer than they started with and no one has a dry mouth all night...

I think there are a few tight arses around these boards I mean seriously, how much does six tins costs

Its usually a good conversation starter... oh you like Real Ale as well...

[oafc0000]

but you said you should share the booze you bring with other people. are you trying to say everyone should be able to afford more than 6 cans of beer? well not everyone one can. a party should be a cheap night, if you were skint and could only afford 6 cans, why should you share that?

[oafc0000]

You must be the life and the soul

[oafc0000]

I couldn't imagine going to a party and sharing beer

Hey, get off my f**king Carling :lol Sounds like a lovely environment

[rachbon]

omg.... I can't be arsed replying...

you did reply though

if you went to a party where everyone was bringing their own booze, the host wasn't providing any, and someone could only afford to bring 6 cans, would you expect them to share?

and if my aunty had balls she would be my uncle...

I don't know the circles you mix in... but in the situation you describe, with the people I would invite to a party, would see the vast majority bringing enough beer each to kill an elephant, and the one scrubber who can only just afford six cans thinking they had just come to f**king Disney land....

oaf mind folks like me and Rachel are in our 20's. It's pretty common for a host to be someone who isn't earning loads n loads who can afford to blow £60 on crates of beer n cider!

aye any parties i've ever been to (apart from ones with old people), everyone just brings their own and you might share it, but you don't automatically expect everyone to share. just some people might offer.

[rachbon]

YES! Happy ?

Unless everyone was a poor tight arses there will be plenty of beer to go around...

If your not the sort of person who likes this, you probably wouldn't be a friend of mine... Me and my friends share... Its only f**king beer

[oafc0000]

thank you for finally answering a simple question.

[rachbon]

What do you do, keep it in a carrier bag next to you to make sure no one nicks it

I can safely say the younger generation just don't get it

[rachbon]

Myself and others gave you the answers You was just not clever enough to realise it

Look at ampersands post... Said everything you needed to know

Now get back and guard that beer

naw, i leave my booze in the kitchen because i don't hang around with people who would drink my booze without asking me.

[RABun]

when my brother has big parties he has a massive cool box thats filled with ice and all the beer just goes in there. we basically drinks whats in there, though i would stay clear of anything that obviously wasnt for general consumption, like if someone brought 4 cans of something obscure.

[rachbon]

Do you put little name tags on so everyone knows who's who

What do you do about food ? Order a pizza and count the pieces out between you all
