I went to an enormous Anglo-Indian wedding on Saturday
it was much fun and i was drinking and eating from 3pm until 4am, i still feel rough today though. Do you like weddings or hate them, i have another 9 I've been invited to this year.

alt: Do you give to charity or are you too cynical about where the money actually ends up?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 26 Mar 2012, 11:53, 163 replies, latest was 12 years ago)

I've only ever been to one wedding, my godfather's. I reckon they'd be a laugh.
Alt: I currently have direct debits with three charities because I fall for their fucking sob stories when they phone me up. I need to cancel them all.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Mon 26 Mar 2012, 11:54, Reply)

if you know lots of people there, weddings are great
if you only know one or two, i'd usually rather watch the national lottery programme. without a ticket.

alt: yes, i have a couple of direct deductions from my salary, i always leave any change under £1 in the charity tin at the till in shops, and i frequently buy food for homeless people. although the last guy asked me for a large vat of natural yoghurt instead of a sandwich, which i thought a bit odd.

i also got OFFERED soup when i walked past a homeless shelter last year. all i could think of was "this cardigan is ralph lauren, sweetie". i gave that to charity too.

The chattering of the guests is akin to a colony of puffins, all perched on the rocks of the cliff of their failing friendships/relationships/marriages clucking and squawking at the latest pair to commit themselves to an endless pairing of attempting to catch fish, raise ungrateful chicks and not look ridiculous with their painted noses.

I observe the colony from afar, like a bemused elk. Present, yet distant in my suit and antlers. Occasionally pulling one of the fatter, more desperate puffins before boning her with my furry elk-cock.

One of my closest friends married an Indian girl
and that wedding was about the most fun I've ever had at one. It was massive, went on for about 12 hours from start to finish, people wandering in and out all through the ceromony, people stealing his shoes (it's a tradition, apparently, who knew?), food all day.

Even sober, I don't mind wedding receptions of people from the same circle of friends, where I know loads of people. Family ones suck though. Not as badly as when I had to go to my bosses wedding once thought, that was hell.

I hate actual weddings though, they bore the pants off me. Especially never ending Catholic ones.

I once went to an Anglo-Indian wedding and was expecting a small party
I was surprised when I got there to discover it was a full on traditional Indian wedding with around 5-600 guests. I couldn't see anyone I knew, but found a seat at one of the tables and grabbed a couple of pints from one of the trays being circulated.
As I sat scanning the room for a familiar face, around came the usual guy with massive video camera with his son carrying the spotlight/cables/etc. ensuring that he captured the face of every single attendee for posterity. I smiled and raised my pint.
Then after about 15-20 minutes there came an announcement: "Would you all please be upstanding for our bride and groom - Sanjay and Parminder!"
Who?
It turned out that there were two weddings on at that venue that day and I was at the wrong one. I finished my drinks, made my excuses and left.

I'd hate to think it's because of my jewish heritage that he believes such a statement would go against what he believes are my wishes.
Seems like a cheap shot in a thread about weddings to bring in talk about shotguns and verious other weapons of war.

I bought these sweets called Toxic Something the other day.
They were so fucking lush, really really sour, but they turned into bubblegum, I fucking hate it when all the nice sweets turn into bubble gum. I'm a fella who enjoys a good swallowing.

It makes no sense to me at all.
To my thinking, it's a patronising hangover from our Imperial days. We're no longer fucking rolling in it: we have no 'spare money' for these places and I'll bet in many cases half the aid money goes 'missing' before it reaches the needy anyway.

I think we should sort ourselves out first, make sure everyone in the country can have heating, food, shelter and healthcare.
Then with the surplus, if there is any, re-circulate that.

We are not in a position to prop up shady govts around the world - even if we did bankrupt them with loans and weapons deals etc in the 70s.

i see they have songs called "asian hooker", "let me cum in" and "it won't suck itself".

is this loveable or loatheable?

They are a "hilarious" "parody" of glam metal bands.
Purely as a glam metal band, they are okay. But given that they think they are doing it ironically, I reckon it makes them shit.

Spinal Tap only thirty-odd years too late. Also, not exactly the most challenging of genres to pick for parody, is it? Even if those Darkness benders hadn't mined that particular seam until it was dry.

I went to a male 'wedding' celebration about 18 months ago. In retrospect 'I knew Dave and his ex-wife when we were at school together' wasn't the best answer I could have given to 'How do you know the happy couple'.

"I knew him before his wife found out that he'd been making visits to Chariots gay sauna & baths near Limehouse instead of working late so he couldn't get home in time to read the kids a bedtime story like he claimed" would have been pretty spot on.

I would have boycotted the SHAM WEDDING on the basis that, not only is he clearly a cunt, but he is an authentic 'bent cunt' to boot.

To apologise for my boring post earlier
I'm going to post an equally boring question.

If someone owns a private car park, but it forms part of the access route to another private car park (and is the only access to the second car park) do they have some kind of legal duty to keep it in good repair? If I fucked my car suspension on one of their six inch deep potholes, would I have any justification in beating them about the head with a stick?

the second car park might have rights of way over the first
you'd need to check the official copies for both, as a starting point.

there's quite a good template letter online for claiming against councils if you hit a pothole, you could just adapt that and send it to both owners and see if either of them blink!
