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

Any approach involving spirits would seem welcome - often work marvelously.

You've just reminded me A 'T' A, I was having a discussion around the etiquette of 'buying rounds' in the pub just the other night.
It got quite heated, actually
GJ

Yes, I'll wager the irk centred around the age-old quandary of the bloke who brings his eighties bird to the pub:

"Pint, pint, pint, pint ... what about, erm ..."
"Pernod and black, thanks"
"Right, erm, pernod and black"

But there's never an expecatation that:

(a) 'erm' will get her round in
(b) boyfriend of 'erm' will buy two rounds to compensate.

Will she ever get a round in? Will she f..

Uxbridge is nice at this time of the year I'm told.

In my opinion, buying rounds only makes sense for small numbers where you all drink roughly the same thing. There's so much room for abuse otherwise.

In a bizarrely semi-relevant way, I keep reading the title of this thread as "Is a more spiritual approach to the brunettes of modern life..."

Mine's a while you're up there, cheers.
