I like it when you go to the pub. I hope you did some cool people watching...I love people watching.

Yeah I did a bit, when I wasn't being distracted by the football or trying to work out what people were laughing at :laugh:
I think pubs are a good place to go as they're so close. I mean there's a pub everywhere. Ours is just round the corner so easily within walking distance without having to worry about getting beaten up in the dark if you walk through some dodgy area :P

I mean if people go out with friends anywhere else it's usually far away, and I hate public transport

Are we talking 'brave' on the initial date this thread was started...or can we post something brave that happened today...or for me yesterday now....
Uggh...confusion.
But, I technically 'stole' from my Chinese restaurant last night. But I believe they have been 'stealing' from me the last few times I've been there, plus the rude service is 'stealing' my custom ie; once I've put in an order I agree to pay, but you agree to not be rude and be glad I buy stuff from you.
Sooo....I go to pick my order up last night. I ask to check my crab before I purchase, because the last few times it has been really inconsistent ie; no noodles / half what a normal serve is / 2 scummy bits of chilli and no garlic etc etc.
Anyway, I check...noodles look like a scummy serve and I ask nicely for a discount and explain the quality has been inconsistent for quite a few weeks now. Person says that is not possible...after a rude discussion from that person, whilst I am being polite I then request perhaps they get the manager.
The manager was 100 times ruder!!!! I then said right, I won't take this, PLUS I want my money back from the last 3 times I have been here. He said that was not possible, they never refund (wtf) - I said well your waiters are always rude, you are lucky to have customers at all. For some reason he said he would be back in a minute. Somebody from the restaurant who was serving another customer had a question or something.
Well, this shows you how inattentive they are. Under the nose of the cashier, I thought 'fuck this', picked my order up and left without paying. I kind of feel bad, but seriously, if the cashier is so oblivious to what is happening and the care factor is zero, plus they are lucky I didn't ask for my money back the last 3 times at least.
Why is their stealing from me and giving me shit, inconsistent servings any different from me taking that order without paying?

Come to Vallejo and eat at Kwongnan Eclair, the food there is always fresh and tasty. :thumbup:

That's cool.
Same place where he was burned. Was one of my favourite places to go when I visited Rome. Market of absolutely delicious fruits. And Bruno towering over it.
Every year scientist remember him on February 17, and hope to get his honour restored.
He definitely belongs in the list of Brave dates. Yesterday was his dying day.

Not so fast young man.
That king lasted for another 13 days. It was an infection that killed him in the end.

Yup. But he got shot on the 16th. :litigious: :viking:

In the early hours of the 29th of March 1945 the German troops and a few civilians who had been besieged for two months in Küstrin at the Oder fought their way through the Russian lines to the west by killing Red Army soldiers with the rifle butts, since they were out of ammo. :viking:

This is the date Her Majesty opened a hall with the name of her Prince Royal in 1871. I bet she has stories to tell about the grandeur.

30 years ago today, John Hinckley, Jr. shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan in an assassination attempt in Washington, D.C.

I put some silver nitrate on a naevus. Not as brave as shooting a president but interesting.

Thank you.
I got an empty cereal box and flicked the spider into it with a bit of paper. I then ran as fast as I could to a window and emptied the box.
I think that was the first spider Ive seen inside this year. Finding spiders inside is the worst thing about the warm weather arriving.

That's great, and brave. For someone who has never had to fight in a war, I am at a loss as to how entertaining you find these things.
Blatant ignorance and stupidity.

Parts established that his trunk belonged to Winnie Judd.*
*Sort of, it is still conjecture on my part.

I thought it was ebm's

We'll have to ask Parts why he is claiming it as his then. :tinfoiul:

Those must be some nasty hemorrhoids if it took courage.
