this was a reply to Rachelswipe's 'Eastenders' rant
But I feel I must share it further. It's a bit off topic, but...

Bellenders is fab!* It instantly makes you feel talented. We play Bellenders bingo - every time someone says 'It's faaamily', 'Wos goin on'?, 'mind the stall', or 'I'm goin daan the pub' you take a drink.**

Pissed in half an hour - fantastic!

*I'm kidding, it is shit.

** If someone puts the kettle on for a cup of tea, you get a double. It's best not to play it during the omnibus though - you'd never get to work the next day.

drinking games
We used to play the Heskey drinking game for England Internationals.

Every time Heskey fell over for no apparent reason you had to completely finish your drink.

He used to fall over a good 5 or 6 times a game.

Ah, Heskey
For such a big, strapping bloke he did have an amazing propensity to fall over if a blade of grass so much as sneezed at him, didn't he?

Withnail and I
Me and a couple of mates started on the 'Withnail and I' drinking game* one balmy student evening. We ran out of booze.

Some years later I was sat with my saviour on the sofa with her going through my DVD collection and she settled on that film. I told her about the drinking game but being older and wiser we decided we'd stick to the bottle of wine we'd got and instead kept a tally of what you would have to drink to keep up.

I dare anyone to make it to the end of the film without a stomach pump.

Hold on..
Didn't I introduce you to that game? Only we used to call it Drink With Corrie....

Cheers

Hesky
Hehehe. Weeble! PFFT!

On a similar note, I can remember watching England down the pub during the last world cup. Great atmosphere - tense as hell.

Then Crouch got the ball, ran for goal and this agonised voice came from the back of the pub:

"SHOOT YOU LANKY STREAK OF PISS!!!!!"

Pub fell about laughing....

But don't you think that
Bellenders is a much better name?

I can't take credit for that, it was all Tourette's (as if you couldn't guess).
