h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

But the man on the moon is just so totally dredful even though its less than two minutes walk from my front door There are several things wrong with the place. The main reason, and reason enough that I won't go to a pub is that they don't seve any Beer that I will drink. They do* serve guiness, which is somethign I will drink, but because of other factors I won't go there to drink it. The other main factor is how awful the people in it useually are on a Friday and Saturday night in particular; these are the same people who after beign in the pub a while, and drinking their alcopops wonder out on to Norfolk street and begin fights with each other, tip over the dustbins and ocasionally smash wing mirrors off car.... Not people I want anything to do with, and certainly not as a rule people I want to be in a pub with.... I've not been in there in ages; the last time I did, before Christmas was when a friend was down, and he wanted to watch the footy, it was the only pub in the vacinity that had it on, so we went in.... They had the football on alrigh, on the TV, but at the same time they had the jukebox on, so we coulnd't hear the football; the beer was terrible, and the place was full (even though it was mid afternoon), with underage drinkers shouting at each other for no reason other than the half a shandy they'd drunk had made them even more stupid than they already were; its the first time in years for both me and my friend that we actually left the pub, leaving beer in our glasses.... no fair,.... Wish it was a pub I could go in, as I'd be in there a lot; there loss,; when at Anglia and was going out to pubs near by; mainly student bar really, I'd be spending £60 a week on beer and other drinks in the pubs, so they can not have my money till such time as they turn it into a place I might want to be in which I wish they'd do

I ended up in a hotel a few weeks ago, and the only beer they had that even resembled something I like was guinness draught and I ain't a big fan of that, I prefer Guinness original, but very few bars sell it

If the deterioation deteriation of the pubs round here continues I will have to resort to giving up drinking. Bluddy stupid bastards. I mean, how frigging difficult is it to put a drinkable beer on in a pub? I'm sure that only a year or two back, the vast majority of pubs round here I could walk into and get a beer and drink it, now that doens't seem to be the case. And alongside the failure to serve beer, they seem to be taloring themselves towards the 'Chav' market, well f*** them, I won't go and spend money in your establishment then, clearly they don't want the £100 a Month I used to spend in pubs... sod them.

ok thats interesting 2legs but i meant there is a pub of nothingness around the corner! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F1995923?thread=572893 i tend to go to the su or the graduate if im going to a pub. i go for food on a sunday at the burleigh arms in the evening.

Ooo I see, the pub of nothingness sounds like my kinda place

bit dead at the minute but im sure we can get it going!

*pulls up a chair and sighs in a way that really lets you know that this man has absolutely nothing better to do whatsoever*

*pulls up another chair, and sighs in a way tha says sitting about doing nothing but drinking is preferabable to sorting out the laundry

*hands out *

Oooo So how goes it?

something is going?


*looks at his post again*



oh .... it is going!!!!!!!!!

goes what?

something is going?


*looks at his post again*



oh .... IT is going!!!!!!!!!

bored!!


anybody else?

im supposed o be doing essays but i dont want to!

Then don't. You'll get nowhere in life by studying and doing work

but it will!

if i dont study i wont be able to get a good degree and teach!

i didnt really do any more work this afternoon just watched a film

Bah, that's what they want you to think. Education is for people who aren't already brainy enough. I learned everything I know from watching Japanese cartoons....well not absolutely everything, I learned some stuff from watching the OU on a sunday morning when I was about 4-ish

*giggles*


but i do need a decent degree if im going to teach teenagers!

Well, that or a cattle prod.

I was a right b'stard at High school, mostely because I knew more in the third year/year nine than most of those finishing their GCSEs. I was asked to leave classrooms more than once.

One time the teacher implied that I was lying to her when I complained about another pupil singing, so I told her I wasn't going to sit through her class if she was going to insult me and cast aspursions upon my character and I packed my stuff up, got up, left and went and had a smoke....only I swore a lot while doing so. The best bit was as I stepped through the door she told me to get out of the classroom. I suspect she was attempting to regain some dignity from the situation..she failed.

you were nasty!

i was a goody two shoes. top set for everything, predicted As at GCSE across the board. lunchtimes in the library, extrcurricular activities like choir, orchestra, string group. backstage crew of school shoes, guiding, extra science lessons so i could take 3 GCSes in science rather than 2. i ended up doing 12 GCSEs while the rest of my year did 10!!!!!!

Well in yr10 I was predicted A* for maths, in fact I broke 2 school records in math..3 if you include getting better results than all but one other person in my year while sleeping through most of the lessons.

My science teacher said I shouldn't be doing GCSE science as it's too simplistic and couldn't understand why I wasn't in the top set untill I explained about a run in I'd had with the head of science for giving me detention for not doing homework which I had, in fact, done.
