Forum Overview :: Rants :: Re: I actually did want to write more

[quote name="Quétinbec "][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] The one I have known the longest wrote my first piece of text game fan mail where I wasn't being encouraged to hang myself. It was almost ten years ago. We've been friends ever since. [/quote] You guys give me shit for travelling to find a partner, work bullshit jobs, and have sex, but you're flying to Scotland to meet your only fan and Fussbett's going to Taiwan to build a retro gaming cabinet. It's fucking bullshit, Caltrops! [quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] I'm trying to imagine where all the expenses are going to come from [/quote] A night in a youth hostel there costs as much as three weeks beachside accommodation in Asia. It's bullshit. If you don't have someone you can live with, you shouldn't visit GB. But, don't listen to me! Here, for the sake of your fan: <a href="http://www.hostelworld.com/">http://www.hostelworld.com/</a> [quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] -- the alcohol won't count, as I am drowning away all my sorrows nightly anyway. At least doing it in a group setting, there's a chance someone else can pick up a round. On the other hand, they may not have the $2.59 bottles of Mad Dog "red" and "green," but instead something I've seen called "pints." I assume those were properly explained in one of the "Gothic" sequels, but, well, it wasn't in the first five minutes, so you know. [/quote] GB's easy because they're not dicks about it. You have pints and half pints. Don't order halfs. Easy! The first time I went to a bar in Australia, they told me they didn't have pints and I had to choose between a pot, a schooner, or a jug. I pretended to know what I was doing and ordered a jug with three pots, because 'pots' sounded big, and they give me this huge jug of beer and three oversized shot glasses. I looked like a fucking retard. I imagine that must be how Jerry feels at a coffee shop - like a guy awkwardly drinking beer out of a shot glass. I feel you, Jerry! [/quote]
