In the 90s/early 2000s a takeaway once a week was almost standard for working class familys. Nowadays people are saying an indian can set them back 50/60/70 quid+ and it isnt as affordable anymore. Just trying to see what the general thing is?
We usually get takeaway about once a month, if not a little bit less.
Mine is the amount of people who still drink drive.
An insane amount of the general public GENUINELY think they are "absolutely fine" after having "just 2/3 pints"
I know a guy who blew over the limit on just 2 pints of Carling. Hes not a small guy either, bit of a lump and 6ft 3.
I have ocd so things like this trigger it so bad. My new nalgene came with a stupid sticker on and i used to scowering side of a dish sponge to clean it off and its left some very faint scratches on the bottle. Sorry this is more of just a rant ahhhh
For me its roughly 2005-2010
Theres just something about that era that is absolutely horrendous
I nostalgically look back on pictures of people (myself included) from that time, and the only way i can describe it is that everyone looks like they are wearing clothes from a lost property bin😂
Nothing looks like it fits properly, its horribly mismatched, and nothing looks like it suits anybody
Just looking for rough figures
I saw something saying that the younger generations are drinking a bit less, so im curious.
By "normal" week, i mean your average bog standard week at home. Nothing out of the ordinary like holiday or christmas etc.
The past maybe year or so it seems Padel is the new thing. Everyone seems to be playing it. Kind of like how maybe 4/5 years ago there was a sudden golf craze (especially amongst blokes in their 20s/30s) seems like padel is the new golf.
What suprised me most though is why is it is RIDICULOUS expensive. I dont have exact figures but ive read that certain courts can be up to £100 for 90 minutes...
Mine is when my Dad would be getting ready to go to the pub.
•he would always switch his bedroom tv on whilst getting ready
•hearing him have a shave, in paticular the tapping of the razor blade on the sink
•the smell of bay rum aftershave
To this day, any of those 3 things take me right back to a saturday night when i was a kid.
Seems every single place is doing it now. Even spoons
Im talking insane penny-pinching behaviour, like the kind of thing you would see on that extreme cheapskates show
I dont mean the big things like buying a house etc i mean the "everyday" treats such as going to the pub, getting a takeaway, or even just popping to the shops to get a few treats
Seems like in the 90s an average working class family could afford a takeaway once a week, go to the pub for a few beers on a weekend, and buy little cheap extra treats without really worrying about it...
Was the 90s actually better or do people remember it through rose coloured glasses?
Before i get ripped into. Yes i buy pints and no i wouldnt sneak in alcohol.
A fruit shoot and a pack of crisps can come to like a fiver. I feel like it isnt as bad being as its for the kids😂
Its no secret that clubbing every week isnt what it used to be, especially when it comes to small town clubs.
10 years ago my town had 5 nightclubs in it, these days there is 1 left and its like a ghost town every week.
In my opinion clubbing started on the decline probobly in like 2016, then lockdown absolutely battered them.
Along with a few other factors such as cost, safety concerns and a different attitude towards drinking from the younger generation in general.
Had the heineken at the weekend and it was decent.
Next on my radar is san miguel 0 and asahi 0
Just interested about the beer
Hypothetically lets say on my lunch break i wanted to neck down 6 cans of Heineken 0%. What possibly could my employer do...
Yes im drinking beer, but im in no way under the influence of alcohol. Im asking this cus i reckon 99% of employers would kick off about it, but from a legal perspective, surely their is nothing they can do?
Looking for some more low/zero beers to try.
Best one ive ever had is Brooklyn | Special Effects. Honestly really enjoyable. Id choose it over some full strength beers.
I love Bingo, but not as a player. Im a fan/spectator. I enjoying watch it live, but would like to watch it at home.
Are there any UK websites that live stream games?
