The Average Bloke Spends....

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

After agreeing that neither one of us had the time to do anything I come home to a card, toblerone and Simpsons pyjamas


Nice and all but now I feel awful :urff:

INCOMING! PONCE ALERT! INCOMING!

I shall be cooking my famous Ghanaian fish stew with plantain and yams whilse wearing my funky Ghanaian clothes. And maybe some Star beer to wash it down

I ain't Ghanaian but I went there once and for some reason the food and clothes turn Mrs Rafster all gooey...not literally of course, that would be disgusting.

£97!?! :eek:

If that's what the average man spends then the average man needs to sit down & have a good chat with himself.

If I've got a bird at the time then I'll spend a fiver maybe.

No fiver spent today... :cry:

Been done before, commonly used in some cocktails (or even some ready-made liquors IIRC). It's gold leaf so you won't be getting much of it :wink:

Silly money though :eek:

Aye, I remember reading that an ounce of gold leaf covers about an acre.

Research on wiki would tend to belie that though. 1 troy ounce covering an acre would be equivalent to 1 gram covering 130 square metres. But Wiki says that a gram will only cover 1 square metre. Still, that would mean that a square millimetre of gold leaf would weigh a microgram...

So, anyway, from me...homemade card (with a picture of a pink tank on it), box of choccies (forever and always Mandys first love, which is more than fair enough), and as mentioned elsewhere, cooked tea of spicy thai sweetcorn soup follered by redcurrant roast lamb. Then off to cricket nets :twisted: :innocent:

For me...card (bought, pah!), bottle of Jack Daniels :D :D :D :D :P . Sorted!

Alister, pull this weekend mate, and be smug in the knowledge that you've just avoided having to shell out £9.70 or whatever. :wink:

Aha!

As it happens there'll be a young lady accompanying me/us (or carrying, depends how drunk I am by then) to the Wendy House now. 8)

Tried a bit of the Alister charm yesterday too... worked a treat. :wink:

As I recall from the HL Leeds Xmas Bash, the 'Alister charm' consisted (these are your words) of 'Do you like The Sisters Of Mercy?'.
