Wouldn't usually hit the minbar (not that I'm tight or anything) but the one time I did some b*stard had managed to prise off the top of a bottle, drink the beer, and then fill it back up with manquey tap water and replace the cap. I hate it when your taste buds are unexpectedly disappointed.

That's given me a great idea next time I stay at a hotel, drink all the beer and refill them with wee and then contact the hotel and tell them I wanted a drink and there was wee in the bottles, then insist they compensate me with free beer,

Are you trying to charge per letter, or just trying to get the most value out of it?

Its back open. It has moved location and is much smaller. Everytime I have gone Ive needed a reservation because the place is packed.

As said above its reopened in an upstairs room further down, I was there a good few months back and tbh it was no better then an Old El Paso dinner kit, Boojum near the Jervis is much better for a burrito.

This is an extension of the recycled tea bag technique... well sort of.....

A while back a few of us chipped in and bought one of those Nespresso machines for our department. Works fine and dandy though I'm not so gone on the stuff in produces.

So, a guy in the team first started to pull out the tray, remove the used pods and examine them. He would then proceed to recycle a couple of pods into his cup and head back to his desk with his 'cuppa'.

Needless to say, we found this both amusing and downright stingy. Don't get me wrong, we could not care less - the used pods are dead to us....

But the story does not end there.... He also brings his unused stash of used pods home. You guessed it - he carefully opens the pods and removes the contents. He then blends the used powder with some instant powder coffee(for that fresh taste!) and sets about reassembling his pods - using tinfoil to reseal.

Of course, he's proud as punch when he's making himself a 'fresh' cup with his homemade pod.

Several months ago I was out for a few drinks on a sunny Saturday afternoon and we decided to go for a curry. We all ordered beers but one of the "girlfriends" tagging along ordered a bottle of white wine "as it's much better value than buying it by the glass". Anyway, cut a long story short, on the second round of drinks a couple of people said they'd have wine rather than beer but the bottle had disappeared from the table. Turns out it had been recorked and was in this woman's bag.

A couple of weeks ago I found out she'd been rumbled at having ripped off her housemates for years overcharging on utility bills - she was desperate to have them in her name for this reason. They had to contact the landlord to find out the move-in meter reads.

Same woman is always saying she's skint but somehow manages to go on three month travelling holidays to Macchu Picchu etc.

when I was a taxi driver in America this teenager gets into my cab and says he is heading to bel air, considering I was working in west Philadelphia that was over 2500 miles, on the journey he doesn't say much other than he got in a fight and his mother feared for his safety, anyway we eventually arrive and the total comes to around $6500, and what does the young man do, he gets out of the cab and just says "Yo, homes smell you later!" and walks straight up to the house without paying, I couldn't believe it and it wasn't as if he was broke, the place i dropped him off at was a mansion

Mate of mine (who has a reputation for being a bit of a tightwad) gave me a goodish sized cheque for a wedding present - problem was he "forgot" to sign it. They missus wouldn't let me tell him. To make matters worse he got married before me and I got him a decent enough present.

I'd forge the ****ers signature........ Give him some fright, miserable git.

As we were sorting out my nephew's books the other day, we remembered the wallpaper our parents put up in the bathroom when we moved in.

The following year my sister started school an I covered her books with what was left of the wall paper.

The next year, I was told to take off the paper and us it to cover my sisters books for senior infants.

Also, we had a drawer for saved wrapping paper and everyone got the foot artist cards for their birthday or nothing if the packet didn't last the year.

But Will Smith wouldn't rip someone off like that, especially not for $6500. If you're going to impose fan-fiction on us you could at least not make it contradict the real character. And if people were confusing your story for a real story... that's a problem.

Are you sure you didn't just open a normal bottle of Bud or Coors Lite?

digitaldr

Wouldn't have wasted my energy opening that sh*te!

Well you know what they say...brace your selves for Ye Olde Budweiser Joke.

Q Why is drinking Bud like having sex in a canoe?

A Because it's fcuking close to water !
