I remember when it used to be a couple quid for a pint.

 

[Raven]

Its £3.50 for a peroni, not 30 yards from my front door.

Yeah, but it's peroni...

 

[Gwadien]

Yeah, but it's peroni...

Peroni is usually a gauge of expensive beer though.

A place in Leicester is like £7 a pint, it's ridiculous but its such a nice place, it's a venue where all the comedians go to, even the massive ones, such as Johnny Vegas... get it?

 

[Raven]

Peroni is OK with food but not a drinking session drink.

When i started studying (back in 05) it was an oddity to pay more than €1.50 for a pint in Hull (it was even cheaper in the SU bar)

 

[Gwadien]

Pints are still £1 in a SU, but it's usually Carlsberg.

 

[soze]

I went to a Birthday Party last week and the place has a pint of the month which is £1.50. I was drinking Oranjeboom like it was going out of fashion. It was OK but I felt like warmed up death the next day.

True but Hull was the kinda place where spoons was an expensive place to drink because their pricong was often dictated by their chain, the local privately owned (or brewery run) pubs were much cheaper and usually better

Not true, spoons is priced locally.

Funnily enough I always found cheaper beer in Manchester than Hull (Holts' pubs, Pound a pint). I wouldn't imagine that's the case these days though, Hull being a bit of an economic basket case etc.

Yay. Single post. It seems to be my laptop that isn't playing nice with the wifi, but only with FH. Weird

Well it was always around £3 a pint in spoons but £1 - 1.50 everywhere else

Best was a pib called the mission, on mondays they did a drink with 3 shots of vodka and a VK as mixer for £1.50

Apparently all of it dodgily imported from poland and probably watered down

I was talking about a couple quid a pint in the pubs and clubs in brighton back in 1993. Not SU prices. Which you could get shots of vodka for fifty pence.

Light bulbs. When I was a kid light bulbs were simple things, bayonet fit and maybe the odd really exotic screw thread in some fancy lamp from Italy or something, that was it. Now, whenever you move into a new house, you have no fucking idea what kind of NASA-level optical bullshit you're going to have to deal with a bulb goes pop. I've just had one go that's over the mirror in the bathroom and I have got no idea what the damn thing is; it took me ten minutes just to get the glass outer off (it was held on with hidden clips) and then I'm looking at some kind of 1950s valve looking thing (but it's an LED of some sort); does it twist off, is it a bayonet, is held on with The Force? No fucking idea. So I pulled a bit and it just fell apart. Great. I'm still not sure if I've taken out the bulb or just part of it.

When I'm world Dictator everyone will be forced to leave detailed instructions about what each light is, how it attaches,and why the fuck you chose that exotic shit anyway (at least 200 words). Failure to comply means my Secret Police shove the bulbs up your arse. Sideways.

All the LED bulbs of that size I've ever seen have been a bayonet fitting, specifically GU10. You just push and rotate.

Alright Donald Trump, chill your booties

Also bear in mind that if it's a bathroom and the light is close to water it needs to be protected against water ingress depending on how far away it is from water/steam/whatever:

Fuck I paid £3 for a bottle of bloody water the other week in London! I got 10 wings for less than that last night in Newcastle.

Nope. I know what a GU10 is, it's not that. I think it's something called a "JC bi-Pin", but that could be the American name.
