      Many years ago, yeah, then they stopped it so you had to go upstairs to the posh bit and order a couple of bottles of wine. I've had beer in many canteens in Germany, some places even have it in the vending machines
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        We have a little on-site shop that sells it.

        And a fridge full of it in the office.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          I remember whilst stationed in Germany that the local Blood Donation Mob came on camp to collect donations. They would normally, I believe, have given out a monetary payment to donors. However, as we were not allowed to accept any wonga, they gave us a Herfy handbag instead (i.e. a Pack of 10 bottles of Herforder Pils). Result!!

                Someone in work did a massive dump after a curry, really carved up the trap, right up the back, on the seat,etc. But the silly sausage dropped his pass in there on the way out. Rumbled!

                  How did you know it was his jobby? Did it have his name on it? He might have been the second customer...

                    Brush a few times a day... it relaxes me. I have a rather unhealthy obsession with toothpaste.

                    My fave thing is on holiday (wherever I am!!) I have to go to the supermarket and see what they have and if there is anything different to what I already have

                      This never happened back home. Perhaps the food is more corrosive here...
