    Things calmed down after that, but as I am typing this there are some noisy young ladies going past outside. Just what is it? Even in my most drunken states, I’ve never been like them.
    I'm in North London. Went for a long walk through three of my local parks. And very nice it was. I will do the same today.

    Life is so much easier when you just avoid pubs and drunks that inhabit them. If I want a beer, I just have one in the back garden once I get home. Very relaxing.

    Life is what you make it.

    Mmmmmmm. You're into a bit of kinky stuff. OK, I'm game.

    However, I'm not into that snowballing lark. You'll have to talk to Atw if you want to do that.

    C'mon, I guarantee that everyone of you who went to Uni had this idea/discussion over a pint.
    That brings back memories of the laundrette I found when I first set up home for myself. On Saturdays they had a couple of schoolgirls who would put your washing in for you and take it out when done, all for a small tip. This swiftly became very popular with the blokes* and the pub next door did a roaring trade.

    They later developed this theme by opening a knocking shop upstairs.

    * and their girlfriends if their washing was done as well. Brownie points for having a good session in the pub

    Do pay attention there.

    BTW, two questions for you nomadd.

    1) Do you like movies about gladiators?

    2) Do you spit or do you swallow?

    EDIT: I'm "out" too. In my garden. And I'm proud of that.

    Pub it is then.

    Second problem is, I've got find an ATM with money in it on Sunday of a bank holiday weekend as I've just found out I have £9.07 in cash. Min charge in pub for a card is £10. Which means I'll have to have at least four pints.

    2. Collect washing.
    3. Go to pub.

    There's a lot of pleasure to be had from getting slowly wrecked in a laundromat while doing the washing.

    I recommend you also take a book on heavy philosophy or fantasy sci-fi to complete the experience. It makes it easier for the loonies to start up a conversation with you.
