Time for some payback

Posted on | January 22, 2008 | 121 Comments

You know so much about me. Where I drink, who I drink with, what I drink, how often I drink, in which places I drink, the company I keep when I drink, which particular drinks I drink, and so on.

But I feel I know nothing about you. And this disturbs me. So, I have posed 5 questions which will allow me to get to you know you just that little bit better. Feel free to answer only the questions that apply to you. If you don’t feel comfortable answering a particular question then simply ignore it. There’s no pressure here.

Right then, here we go.

1 – How many sugars do you take in a cup of tea?

2 – What is your favourite biscuit?

3 – What’s the worst place on earth you’ve ever been to?

4 – Do you like cucumber?

5 – What was the first book you ever read?

Let the answerening beginitise.

    4) No.
    5) Sadly enough I believe it was ‘The Ladybird Book of Tables’, as in times tables, and not the ones with Queen Anne legs.

    1 – How many sugars do you take in a cup of tea?
    Two.

    2 – What is your favourite biscuit?
    Ginger Nut. Hmmm. Think I’ll have one now.

    3 – What’s the worst place on earth you’ve ever been to?
    Well, some people have a “Happy Place” that they go to when something REALLY bad is happening – you know : to block it all out. And although nothing really bad has happened to me, I still feel cheated that I don’t have a happy place. Instead I developed a really dark place that I go to before I go out to kill prostitiutes. As I figure it, if the victim isn’t going to pay attention, then neither am I. And if both of us are in a happy/dark place, it’s as if the murder never really happened. Don’t you think?

    4 – Do you like cucumber?
    Yes, very much so. It’s great on sandwiches.

    5 – What was the first book you ever read?
    The Old Testament of the Bible, you fithly no-good whore.

    4. yes – think there is something in the earlier genetic post. if you can actually taste cucumber then you don’t like it, if you can’t then you generally do.
    5. Haven’t a clue – probably Richard Scarry.

    1 – How many sugars do you take in a cup of tea?
    None

    2 – What is your favourite biscuit?
    Ummm… chocolate kimberly, McVities Fruit Shortcake or Maryland Chocolate Chip Cookies. Is that too many? If I had to pick… chocolate kimberly because if I start eating either of the other two I won’t stop until there are none left or somebody wrestles the packet from me.

    3 – What’s the worst place on earth you’ve ever been to?
    No idea – perhaps I’ve blocked it from my memory, perhaps its Mayo.

    4 – Do you like cucumber?
    Meh! I don’t think it tastes of anything.

    5 – What was the first book you ever read?
    No idea, I suspect it was something from Enid Blyton’s Brer Rabbit series.

    I have been smoking heavily, and posting loads of comments to your last post. Alone!! While everybody else was here!!
    Now I’m monged, and in no fit state to answer questions. So here goes;
    1. Thought about this one for a while, and then I realised, there is no T in sugar. It’s S-U-G-A-R. Nice try!
    2. Them disco biscuits are very nice
    3. Ladyboy’s undercrackers. My fuckin’ face dropped.
    4.The missus always buys loads of them, but I can’t recall ever eating any.
    6. There’s only five questions.

    Right then, here we go.

    1 – How many sugars do you take in a cup of tea? None, I am sweet enough, surprised no one has said that yet. Or maybe there is a very good reason why not!

    2 – What is your favourite biscuit?
    Garibaldi or hob nobs.

    3 – What’s the worst place on earth you’ve ever been to? I am nearly tempted to say Mallow but I’ll not.

    4 – Do you like cucumber? It never did anything to me to dislike it.

    5 – What was the first book you ever read? God only knows, probably Kathy and Mark and Socks the dog.

    1. Just the one, but two sachets. It makes all the difference.

    2. Chocolate chip cookies,but only the ones that come in the blue packet.

    3. Knock – I suspect the Virgin Mary even found it boring, hence why she buggered off so quickly after appearing to the assembled masses.

    4. Yes, it’s my favourite mostly-water solid foodstuff.

    5. People at Work. It had sexually stereotypical pictures of doctors, teachers, firemen, etc.

    Regarding the answers to question one:

    May we take this opportunity to inform all the fat fuckers who don’t take sugar that a little bit more energy might actually help you out?
    Tea without sugar? You’re only fooling yourself.

    Not only have you told us these many drink facts about yourself, Major, but for a clever reader between the lines, it is possible to discern your unconscious drink hopes and aspirations; your drinking ups, your drinking downs; your drinking infancy and how that has related to your ability to not think of your mother*; whether or not you were straw fed as a child; a likely projection of your drinking future.

    I saw a clever reader between the lines pass the kitchen window a minute ago – I’ll go get him, see what he says about you.

    *personally, I think drinking to not think about one’s mother is one of the very best reasons there are.

    1. Tea is for old women, unless it’s green and served in a teashop in Prague.

    2. Does cannabis count as a biscuit?

    3. The Man U shop in Dublin, though a quick poo behind a cardboard cut-out of Rio Ferdinand soon improved the general atmosphere.

    4. What do you take me for?!

    3. South Leitrim (North Leitrim’s ok)
    4. Only in gherkin when raw or sandwich form when not. They taste like watery shite otherwise.
    5. Some random etymological dictionary that my grandparents had. It ruined me for life.

    I think it’s filthy asking strangers on the net about their elevenses. Filthy dirty.

    That’s just the kind of response I’d expect from a Rich Tea person.

    one sugar

    green vicounts but only on special occassions

    a public toilet in a bus station in Bolivia(no flush capacity.Used squares of bog roll are just thrown in the barrel beside the jacks to join the ###### brown squares of the last hundred people who’d been there-nearly fainted with the smell and gagged non-stop)

    Cucumber is okay if thinly sliced into a sandwich and eaten straight away

    First book was “Ann and Barry” in Junior or Senior infants I think.

    1 – How many sugars do you take in a cup of tea?
    I drink coffee with no milk or sugar.

    2 – What is your favourite biscuit?
    Toss Up between Jacob’s Fig Rolls or a Chocolate Chip Cookie

    3 – What’s the worst place on earth you’ve ever been to?
    Cyprus…..just full of English tourists with their England jersey’s on. Karaoke bars, awful food.They serve chips with everything, even breakfast. How is Limassol a tourist attraction when it’s just like The Long Mile Road with Sun and crap bars and restaurants! Worst holiday I have ever had.

    4 – Do you like cucumber?
    Love it. How could anyone dislike cucumber?

    5 – What was the first book you ever read?

    Can’t remember title or writer but it was one of those ‘ A is for Apple, B is for Ball’ ones.

    January 22nd, 2008 @ 7:46 pm

    January 22nd, 2008 @ 7:57 pm

    Tolkein? Twice? There is a misreading of that question as ‘worst’ book you ever read happening..

    1. No sugar. Sugar in tea is very wrong.
    2. Mikados/Fig Rolls
    3. Toss up between The Shelbourne on Saturday night and the throes of labour
    4. Yep
    5. Noddy Goes To Town I think

    January 22nd, 2008 @ 9:27 pm

    1: 2-3, depending on size & strength

    2: Digestives, plain chocolate. (Trivia: did you know that Digestives biscuits were formulated to stop ladies farting?)

    3: A toss-up between North Dublin and Bangalore. I’ve been to Hillbrow (Johannesburg), but that was years ago, before it became the shithole it is today.

    4: Yes, with fish e.g. salmon sandwiches

    5: The first I remember was some Enid Blyton pulp, but I’m sure there was some Noddy before that.

  79. Monkey Balls
    January 22nd, 2008 @ 9:36 pm

    I may be a Rich Tea person but I ain’t no dunker, no way, no how.

    Liking Rich Teas is just good practice for getting old. Some people plan ahead in life, Major, (*files nails idly) and others are just filthy dunkers with all their soggy floaty crumbs and every manner of nastiness at tea-cup’s bottom.

    1 – How many sugars do you take in a cup of tea?

    2 – What is your favourite biscuit?

    A custard cream. YUM

    3 – What’s the worst place on earth you’ve ever been to?

    Drogheda or possibly… POSSIBLY Utah. What a kip.

    4 – Do you like cucumber?

    I like it on it’s own but not with anything. Not on a sangwidge or with salt or any fancy stuff like that.

    5 – What was the first book you ever read?

    A little story book about the Mutiny on the HMS Bounty.
