RE: Whats made you happy today? - Adrian - 10 Dec 2014
I think taste is a lot to do with it when it comes down to Coke/Diet/Zero. I'll always drink Pepsi Max over any other cola, but because I think it tastes nicer, rather than what's in it.

I never drink Coca-Cola or Diet Coke or any other filthy sugary crap - Pepsi Max all the way!!
RE: Whats made you happy today? - Jimmi - 10 Dec 2014
I don't like Diet Coke, don't mind Pepsi Max though.
RE: Whats made you happy today? - Tom - 11 Dec 2014
When we were in Kendal, they gave us double the order! I handed them over vouchers and told them what I want, and for some reason they duplicated the order! She must have been an idiot as that has never happened before.
Regarding Coke, I always get Pepsi Max. That new Coca-Cola life thing is vile. I've never tasted any coke like it! It's very watery too.
RE: Whats made you happy today? - Andreos1 - 11 Dec 2014
Just to join in with the craic, always the fruity drinks for me. Tango, Lilt, Sprite, 7up etc.
Can anyone remember the tropical drinks years ago, that were in a can, but dead cheap?
There was Panda pop and the stuff the pop man used to bring round on a lorry - but there was one (brand name escapes me), that was generally sold in the greengrocers or cheap shops.
Tasted vile.
Anyway, for those of you who like KFC - this may tickle your taste buds.

KFC is like a woman
Once I am done with the breast and leg, I got a greasy box to stick my bone in

Nah, Fozz - it wasn't a local pop literally off the back of a lorry, like Sykes, Villa or Greys'.

(11 Dec 2014, 9:12 am)Andreos1 Nah, Fozz - it wasn't a local pop literally off the back of a lorry, like Sykes, Villa or Greys'.I remember, round Murton when I was a kid, we used to have a few people selling stuff out of a boot or the back of a van...I remember a bloke had a Pirate Video Rental Empire who came round twice a week, he had his normal customers and iirc correctly he had his 'SPECIAL' Customers with who he provided who he provided the kind of Videos you would not find in Blockbuster Video
I think the Ice Cream Man used to have an under the counter Porn Video Empire...I had an Amstrad CPC464 computer as a kid, and the Video man would get hold of game cassettes for me

Apparently the Ice-Cream man who visited my street as a kid sold Acid (LSD - not hydrochloric or anything like that) under the counter.

RE: Whats made you happy today? - R852 PRG - 11 Dec 2014
Being praised by one or two English teachers at school today because of an 'outstanding' poem I wrote out of pure boredom once I'd finished an assessment. Here it is;
Black and red poppy
Scattered like glitter
Two ears floppy
Scrounging for litter
The scars of his service
Lie deep in his soul
Marks tell she is nervous
As she sleeps in her hole
Smiles of appreciation as a coin lands in the pot
Two pounds for lunch should do the job
Tail wags in joy when a crumb, just a dot
Lands on the pavement, in her wide open gob
A fiver is a rare treat, enough for a day
Just like a biscuit, it'll last until May
I was really pleased with the feedback I got
- the teacher I had for English in Years 7 and 8 asked me to send it to him for him to put on display. The assessment itself was actually to write about 'Valentine' by Carol Ann Duffy and 'Sonnet 130' by William Shakespeare. A lot of people in the class seem to think I'm some sort of poetry genius - purely because I'm the only one who knows what to do (for a Set 1 class, it's pretty worrying!). Anyway, as we're doing Sonnets (if you don't know what one is, it's basically just one stanza with 14 lines, 10 syllables per each, and at Line 9 the topic either changes from positive to negative or negative to positive!), but I just couldn't bothered so I just did my own thing once I'd finished all of the work that had been set. Pretty pleased with what came out. If you can work out what the poem is about, although it is pretty obvious, I'll give you a prize! (nothing much, tbh!
)
RE: Whats made you happy today? - Tom - 11 Dec 2014
Very impressive. I can't even write two lines of a poem, never mind that! Thankfully we didn't have to write a poem in English, just comparing two poems.
I'm not sure what it is about though - the ''Two ears floppy'' and ''Tail wags in joy...'' suggests it is about your dog though?

Cheers, Tom!
Well, there's two characters in it. It's called 'On The Streets', one is an abandoned old female dog.
Figured both are two subjects that are raised a lot in these situations, and they'd be good to use for the poem.
With a sonnet, the rhyming thingy has to be like ABABCDCD, so for example, the first line rhymes with the third and the second rhymes with the fourth, etc. - so I felt like having two characters would fit in nicely making each line of contrast to the next.

No, no. I wish I had now.
It's actually a serviceman whose come back from Afghanistan and ended up homeless! My grandad was never homeless, although during the Miner Strikes in 1984 him, my grandma and my mam were really struggling. Thankfully my mam was 21 by then, and she was working to support them all.

I thought he might have been a serviceman or something, that's why I mentioned it
Great job though!
