Guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Okay go on then Craig...how did you kill a dog with your car keys!?I'm calling bullshit on this one though.Yeah well, there was this massive dog in front of my car. I wasn't looking cos I was talking to my friend about my idea for a movie, so I stuck my keys into the dogs trachea instead of the door.By the time I realised my error the dog was beyond rescue, and I had to climb into the drivers seat via the passenger door as the dogs corpse was blocking my conventional entry point. Caught my ankle on the seatbelt. Think it's twisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 It's a Hunter S. Thompson quote.The actual quote is "America is raising a nation of dancers"So it's just a derivitive of that, put on top of poor music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanette Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 ... which brings in my "Ace-ic" feeling of, 'Yay, I got an ace new job!".Mine is also similar... except I just got made full time and on a permanant contract. Quite amusing that I had to have an interview for a post in my team, but it had to be advertised as it wasn't an internal post. But yeah, that's my 'ace-ic' feeling and I think it'll last for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't snagged a permanent contract, it's just being done on a month-to-month basis so I have my contracted hours and put Friday's hours as overtime. When it gets to April we'll see what the new financial year brings so just a couple more weeks to make myself indispensable...Extreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Just been given a permanent contract from work with a pay rise included.BANG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I had to turn down a payrise the other week because I wasn't being offered enough. An extra 99p for doing the jobs of 2 folk? Jog on.Plus, things are going well in my current position, so I'll just ask for a payrise later in the year and keep my current position which I'm enjoying.

RossP Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 My annual payrise comes in next month, which is going to put an extra 100 or so in my account each month. Can't wait, as i've got so many things to pay for... MOT, Car Insurance, Holiday spending money, football/gig tickets.Skint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Skint.I'm on the verge of buying a flat just now, if it comes off then the extra money will literally go straight down the toilet (the bathroom needs renovated in it). It never stays in the bank for long, does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 This thread should be called Reasons To Be Cheerful At the moment, survival - kingstreetchallenge.com was undertaken and completed last night. Yas, min! We did a Fraserburgh challenge for my 22nd birthday, 16 pubs and 2 night clubs in one night, minimum one drink in each pub.If anyone wants to give it a go we went:Finlay'sThe Watermill (*)The ElizabethanThe KenyanThe Toolies Club (canna mind the proper name of it)Castle Bar (The brewers)The BalaclavaCheersThe Oak TreeThe MarinersThe CrownThe Royal BarThe ShipThe StationThe Bellslea BarLeisure CentreMoorings nightclub (above the Royal)DJs nightclubUnfortunately we missed out the Watermill because it was on the other side of town and we ran out of time. So, unfortunately, fail, but only just. It would be easier these days because the Watermill has now been demolished, so you wouldn't have to go all the way out there. Also the Castle Bar has been shut down for years so that is also off the list, though Whytes has since opened and would be added. We missed out the British Legion and the RAF club cos we wouldn't have got in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Someone I used to work with used to do the Ponte Circuit, which is a half a lager in every pub in Pontefract town centre. Quite the challenge as Pontefract has the highest pubs per square mile ratio in the UK. It took place on the Sunday, and needless to say - he called in sick on the Monday. By 3 in the afternoon that monday there were pictures on his Facebook looking completely legless. I bet there were a few cuddled toilet bowls that night.People seem to travel from far around to give it a go. No wonder they built a Haribo factory right in the town centre, to stop the whole place from stinking of puke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 We did an Elgin 3-legged-race pub crawl around 2001 (christ I feel old!)Apologies for massive picture, but I took it from our 8 year old website, which i'm amazed is still running 101 Great things to do this SummerThe list went something like:The Stable BarHigh Spirits (RIP)The Thor HouseWeatherspoonsThe IonicFlannagansThe Lido (RIP)The Imperial (RIP)The NewmarketThundertonDiceysOld VicWhite Horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troupers and the Hook can flare up occasionally, and there's usually a bit of trouble in Divas: pink shirted neanderthals and 15 bottles of Bud is a dangerous cocktail!The Marine is my favourite of the lot, I'd rate it up there with Annie's in Montrose, the Anchor in Johnner, and the Moorings on my best local-ish boozer list.....
