watered down piss is alright if you've just bought a bunch of E's from the same barperson. They are doing you a favour, really.

Although the E's are usually watered down piss as well

When you put it like that... but for those whose drugs of choice are strictly alcohol and caffeine, watered down piss just doesn't cut the mustard. This is from someone who had quite a lot of watered-down piss in his time at uni, mind you

So the story is...get lung cancer, play the health lottery, win and wire tonnes of money abroad in the vain hope of a cure, realise it is futile and use the bullets you dug up from your garden to shoot yourself as you wistfully acknowledge that is grim up north and life just isn't worth it. Is that a fair summary?

Mum and Dad are out tonight with an old friend of theirs called Frank Ramsbottom. Mr.QofG's commented that he had never heard such a northern name

It would be perfect if Mr Rammy was a sheep farmer!

Sadly not. He was a teacher I think!

Sure they didn't mean Frank Sidebottom? He is pretty northern.
QueenOfGoths
Fuck you Dave!
I sooo wish my parents had been friends with Frank Sidebottom
Nah he worked with my Dad at a school in Sheffield before Mum and Dad moved to the dales (which is going back over 45 years!). He and Mrs. Ramsbottom have taken their caravan up to the Dales for a few days but aren't sure how long they will stay ...as my Mum told me in one of those conversations where your parents talk about people you have no idea who they are or you haven't seen for 20 years!
Also this is now the most popular thread in terms of replies in the "Midlands and North" forum history, beating the Hebden Bridge meet-up thread of 2006-7 by nearly three to one
43 pages and we've only just started!
