Surely any group activity - whether after work drinks or anything else - is only as boring as the participants themselves?
Not really because even if the participants are boring, if the activity is exciting, e.g. team go-karting, you can still at least enjoy that.The "show us your breafkast/lunch/tea/take-away" threads annoy me beyond reason for 2 reasons actually :
1. 5 pics of actual food per thread volume and 10000 comments of people arguing over one particular person's contributions and abbreviations. It's tiresome and there should be a rule saying you can't post a comment without including a pic of your own meal.
2. Mostly full of pretentious people posting their FEBs with beans in a separate pot instead of just putting them on the plate with the rest of the food like every normal person does - same goes for chips kept in a separate basket. Oh and eating their meals off a block of wood instead of a plate.

The pint glass used for serving food is particularly revolting. If you you have ever worked in a pub you will know that pint glasses are used for everything from ashtrays to urinals.
The pubs have to chuck them out after a while as you will never get them clean (they go cloudy) which will make the beer go flat very quickly.
Put the food on a plate, plates and bowls have worked very well for 10000 years, until some pillock in the 21st century decided it could be done better in a grotty pint pot or on an old roof slate.

They go cloudy because the cleaning has scoured them. They don't go cloudy because they have had piss on them.If you you have ever worked in a pub you will know that pint glasses are used for everything from ashtrays to urinals.

The fact they get scoured makes me even more reluctant to eat out of them.
scoured with what, sand blaster maybe ?the washing-up scouring pads are made from polyester, too soft to scratch
glass, even brillo pads should not scratch or cloud a pint glass.
people eat food out of a pint glass ? is this a southern tosseur thing.
glass ? pfft.
we were lucky to have a scraped out weasel skull
Businesses not replying to emails. We're having full-fibre internet installed around here, back in February I had a leaflet shoved through the door with a promo on "special deals", and as my previous contract was ending, I sent them an email. This morning, I've had an email back from the rep saying "Hi, give me a call on 07xxxxx, thanks".
First, if I wanted to talk about it on the phone, I'd have phoned you.
Second, back in February, I told you my contract was ending and I needed to sort something. Do you really think I'd have waited until almost June on the off-chance you could be bothered to reply?
Then a bit later I've had another email just saying "Live today call me". Presumably that's answering my question about when the service starts, rather than some pseudo-offroader mission statement.
