Title: A lesson learned
Post by: The Moan Ranger on August 07, 2007, 04:11:03 PM
Overdoing it on the Efes lager can lead to a cloudy head resulting in putting factor 8, instead of 20 on, which leads to some pretty impressive sun-burn. Especially if you are topping up the Efes during the day...

I have just come back from a few weeks in Turkey where you would see most blokes starting on this stuff at 10 am in the morning. It was even more fun to see them at 10 o clock at night when they had fallen asleep during the day in temperatures approaching the mid 40's. What plonkers.  lol:

Did you go for the Factor 50 and write 'TWAT' on their foreheads, always a pleasure!

Well that's just silly! At least mine was alcohol induced. The slight breeze and the chill of the paddling pool prevented me from realising.  redface:

Mr Happy. I normally find your posts rather witty with a certain charm, however, sometimes you can be a bit of an oaf :-)

A bit of sunburn doesn't affect us Southerners as we are more used to the sun down here. South of the M25, the sun regularly makes an appearance, casting brilliant rays of shimmering diamonds through the smog overhead, as the cloying diesel fumes supress the mossies and midges.

That sounds a bit poetic for you. rubschin:

Are you sure you have only been "drinking"? spider:

Yup, only the Efes and coffee. I could go on about the scuds of detergent foam skipping lightly on the river near me and the three-eyed trout, gangs of mutant water voles and tattooed swans too!

The gentle waft of kebab, curry and urine, the sparkling dazzle of the broken bottles onthe floor and the nightly serenade of police and ambulance sirens, but it would not be poetry - only extracts of the local Nottingham weekly :-)

 eeek:  Nor me!    worthy:  Respek!

I had assumed you lived some where civilised - like uh - Brixton or Bermondsey ....

Bermondsey, where the great Millwall stem from...

No, nor Nottingham, but sunny Surrey, where you get a better class of thug. They even call you "Mr Custard" before bottling you.

How are your hooves looking?

Hooves are fine thanks Bouncer. My face, however, is contorted into a certain rictus - this, however, is the work of toothsome Turkish mosquitos. Does the foot and mouth thingy mean that my Young's Ale won't be delivered by a Shire Horse in time for my return? It's not the same when transported by a diesel lorry. Something must be done and quick too! I blame Gordon Brown. Dribbling Scotch idiot.

All this, the floods and the meltdown of the global economy, I think Mr Bliar chose the right time to go on a world tour with slot-gob.
