Green shoots

Cleaver

I've never posted a thread of this type before, but everyone else does and I want to jump on board.

Me and Mrs Cleave went out tonight and everywhere was fluppin' packed. Heaving. Absolutely packed to the rafters with people. If there is one upside, just one, to this recession it should be that I can get a seat in a pub or bar when I go out on a Saturday night. But oooohhhh no, people aren't paying off that debt, aren't saving for the future, aren't thinking of tomorrow... they're out drinking. And drinking in every bar I want to go in. B*stards. Is it too much to ask? I'm 28 and I want to sit down. I can cope with RnB, I can cope with not being able to drink bitter and having to pay £3.45 for a pint of Staroparomenanmamenenanennannnen, I can cope with DJs playing 'mash ups' of the A-Team mixed with Public Enemy and I can cope with every single bloke having a third division footballer's haircut. But I like to be able to sit down. And I can't. Because every drinking establishment has 17,256 people in it.

So you heard it here first. Recession over. Everywhere bloody heaving. Houses will now start selling, FTSE will rise 30% by the end of the year and alcohol sales will treble (at least in Manchester). Green shoots people, green shoots.

It was busy as that yellow thing in the sky made an appearance pal, don't worry, in all the bleakness of the economic mess, the sun is just a temporary fix to everyone's misery.

At 28 I would never have dreamt of sitting down whilst on a night out...nobody would be able to see what you're wearing or look at your bum in your jeans...it's Mrs Cleaver I pity.

Actually, Mrs C looked the bomb tonight. Her behind is pretty perfect, it's mine that needs the work.

I've had one too many, I'm watching a recording of Match Of The Day and I'm posting about my wife's ars* on an internet forum. Time for bed methinks.

D'you know I think you may be right? After Mrs Halloway had her usual 17-hour Saturday lie-in I went and polished my motorbike and, having polished it, I decided to ride it.

A short ride, Beverley->York->Wetwang->Bev and it was superb. A little breezy granted but in ERY the sky was spectacular with those odd fuzzy clouds that look like UFOs.

Buzzing along the A166 at 75MPH I felt, briefly, happy.

You're 28? :eek: Had you down as being older meh.

Not sure whether it's the weather or what. Maybe people are starting to find a bit of ill-discipline kicking in, a bit like all those new years resolutions that tend to be broken by february time.

I can report plenty of seats at Chez Pigg!h though, and damn quick to get served at the bar as well! Although I should really get a social life one of these days

Staropramens nice.

That was the first thing that came into my head too.

None of this makes sense. He's either lying about his age and he actually meant to write 82 or there is something wrong with him. No 28 year old wants to sit down in a pub..... on a Saturday night.... and they certainly don't drink bitter! I'm surprised he didn't mention his pipe or slippers in his rant...
