When the sun is over the yard arm is an old naval term my dad used a lot. And, when it was over the yard arm that's when he'd start drinking. But noon is probably about right or perhaps a little earlier.

I love alcohol but I am no alcoholic.

I only drink if i am out at a pub, party, wedding etc which is not often or if I am having a feast at someone's house or my house.

I most certainly do not drink every day or every weekend, i can go weeks without a drink but at the same time I can drink every weekend if there are non stop social gatherings.

I was brought up on booze when I was a kid, my parents and grandparents always gave me a sip of rum or wine with my meal when I was a kid in order to get me used to booze and to build up an immunity to it as a result I have never got drunk out in public, flashed my boobs, or done a full moon. I know my limit and I rarely go over it, I conduct myself very well in public and I have outdrank many people who thinks a wee thing like me could not hold her drink!


I think with the Brits we tend not to drink with our meals, we go to the pub and we have just up until 11pm to drink, hence the bingeing culture, whereas with our counterparts in Europe they drink with their meals, and they have ample time to enjoy a drink.


The bingeing culture is NOT new so don't let them fool you, we have ALWAYS been known as louts, look at very old texts and stories from hundreds of years ago and they talk about us drunken brits! I guess it is in our genes...well not mine since i am mixed and I can handle my booze!

f*ck a duck. I thought I was well behaved by only flashing my tits/ falling of bar stools/ "serenading" ED/ crying in public once a week.


I have a problem.


It begins with "Why" and ends in "ine".

Ah HeidiHi - you've never had the pleasure of waking up in a strange house whilst the night before comes back to you in small and usually not ordered glimpses.


Should I get up and go to the toilet? Hmm now is that the toilet door or am I going to show my half naked self to the street?


.....Mr CamberwellOz locked himself out of the flat naked once. He had to wrap the other flat's old newspapers around him to keep warm and wait for a mate to bring some keys over in the morning. How did his friend know? Well Mr CamberwellOz had to knock on our neighbours door wrapped in the sports section and ask to use their phone.


Now I'm married and a mum, I think life would be quite dull without these funny memories.

LOL!!!

I have never woken up in someone's house, broke down crying, danced on the bar or anything like that!

For some reason when I start getting drunk, my first instinct is to go home, drink a pint of water, pop a painkiller and go to bed! My body/mind does not let me get to the point where I black out, flash body parts and the rest.


The only time I have blacked out was when I was about 19 and I had a drinking competition with my brother's friend at my house, he declared that girls cannot hold their drinks like men, so egged on by friends and family, we both drank straight brandy, rum, wine, baileys, vodka, gin, wine etc....and eventually he dropped, and then I blacked out, but made it upstairs to my bed and woke up with vomit...my own of course...I am sure I had the shakes for a month after that.....ewwww! It has been captured on camcorder also But that was the one and only time I have ever blacked out and that was in the name of a competition which I won!!

How about an ED alcohol offset scheme? I hardly ever drink these days on account of being pretty crap at it and having to get up for work, so if someone would like to buy my 14 units a week, or perhaps trade them for (see 'Size of Women's Arses' thread) let's say cake units, we're still within the guidelines.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
