    Have any of you ever bought a round of drinks and not had one back????
    I wish they'd ban rounds .. I try to stay out of them. They're an excuse for some old drunk to get drunk at the expense of somebody who is drinking 1/4 of what they are.

    Rounds might be OK among regular groups of friends, who are consuming at the same rate and equally wealthy, but if you're poor and not with people you know or will see again, it's annoying when some kn0b gets 4rsey because you say you'll buy your own drink (half a cider, take an hour to drink it), then 15 minutes later is declaring it's your round ... stops you going out.

    Your wife / partner and yourself spend an average of absolutely zero per month on entertainment (cinema, books, eating out, drinks, socialising, literature etc.), never get a single haircut, don't ever buy an item of clothing and don't ever buy anyone a gift?
