not all humans. you're thinking of undertakers

OK, I've had another thought, move me from bar-fly into the box marked 'opinionated anal-retentive'.

I didn't realise that we were allowed to declare our own categories.

man in the pub
pubescent teenager

I've fallen into all three categories I think, #2 taken from people's responses to *MY* responses.

Don't tell me when I've had enough to drink! I know when I've had enough to drink!

If I were a man, I'd be in the pub.....

You haven't made proper provision for the ladies....

bit early for you to be posting on here, isn't it? you finished the housework already?

yeah. i suppose "man" in the pub, could by some incredible stretch of the imagination be taken to imply er... "man" but to be fair, i did also write:

man in the pub
...whatever takes his/her fancy. ....prides him/herself ...... some of whom s/he likes .....

member of the church of macnn congregation
....perceives his/her fellow posters ......will post about his/her marriage break-ups......

deperately seeking another nerd
.....usually a male......

toolshed tinkerer
.....family kind of guy [or girl] ......it gets him [or her] away from the spouse ......in order to prove he/she is not.......

pubescent teenager
.....craves attention and approval from his or her "elders and betters" .........

so i did try to make it gender neutral. now be a good girl and get me dinner on, love. i'm just nippin' down the nag's head for a swift one.

cms · Oct 21, 2003, 08:00 AM

Some of us have servants to do these things for us. As I type my "man" James is polishing the silver and supervising Cook who is busy plucking a brace of pheasants for this evening's repast. James is rather special, actually, and is extremely capable of servicing *all* my needs.

By the way, my good man, are we talking rough, work-hardened hands, cloths caps and hobnail boots for you and your - er - "mates" down at the local hostelry? I do hope so.......

there's a pub by me, The Great Float (closed down now, like oh-so-many great Dock area pubs). i was in there one sunday afternoon. there's a geezer sat at the bar, obviously a few pints down his neck, like. next minute, the door bangs open, almost flies off its friggin' hinges. woman storms in. hair in rollers, apron on, fag hanging off the corner of her lip (think Flo, from Andy Capp)

me and me dad turn to look. then we notice she's holding a full Sunday Roast in her hands.

*SLAM* on the bar, right in front of yer man. plate lands, with not a drop of gravy spillage.

*SLAM* knife, *SLAM* fork.

"THERE'S YER FRIGGIN' DINNER, YER BASTID. I'LL BE BACK WIT' YER PUDDIN IF YER LUCKY! " and storms out.

yer man drunkenly turns to the door, shouts "cheers *hic* love" and starts eating his dinner.

i think we were the only ones who batted an eyelid. that was a great boozer, that one. got locked in many a time.

You get my vote for the worlds nicest person. Were you always this nice, or is it something you've grown into? I am curious.

Drunken bum

Definition: Over sensitive, humourless, burnt out wreck who gets involved in heavy political infighting for lack of anything better to do and who continually promises himself that he will in fact get back to his old life of booze and women or clean up his act and that he is still in fact good looking. Amazingly still has brains and a lot of knowledge but wastes them on people who really just want to have a good time.
