Considering the exorbitant costs of modern weddings, it's actually not a bad idea. Especially as they canvassed guests first to gauge interest, and they all seemed to think it was a good idea.

I've been to plenty of weddings where you spend way more than the 150 quid they're asking for drinks alone.

Seems like a fair idea to me. I was at a wedding here in Ireland recently. Room for the night was 160 euro ,200 euro gift in a card, 200 on beer for myself and the missus( residents bar was open til 7am) if you add in a new dress for herself along with hair and makeup 140 euro and 50 quid for fuel to get there and back. A wedding is certainly and expensive day out here. Personally I'd rather get a charge sheet in the post. 650 quid would buy something nice for the car. And to think that was out 8th wedding to attend this year is seriously depressing me

Seems a fairly smart idea. As others have said it is not uncommon to have to pay for a hotel room and drinks at a wedding anyway. This doesn't seem to be anything other than them organising a bulk booking and doing their own catering and buying the drinks at supermarket prices rather than bar prices.

A council wedding would be everything paid for on credit because there was no thought to financial prudence just looking flash in front of your dreadful mates and family.

I wonder if the reported fact that she was waiting for a 12 inch pepperoni was completely made up by a journalist wiht a sense of humour.

They are from Bridlington, where the only two things to do are Fast food and fking.
The fact that it took this long for somebody to combine the two speaks volumes of the place......

It was a pune, or play on words.

U2's best ptune was remixed by someone else. Everyone has heard the Perfecto/oakenfold remix - radio edit

It would be like having someone bloke steering you using his hands on your arse when you're shagging the missus and she says It's the best orgasm that she's had.

I doubt you're in the majority with that view.

N.B. I am not a fan of U2.

I doubt either of us know what the majority of people think. I only draw from people I know, some who prefer U2's earlier songs, but everyone I know who isn't a fan of U2 likes the above. And one U2 fan I know ( been to gigs etc) says it's in the top two of his favourites.

You cropped the second part of my post, so I can only assume that you not only agree, but can bear witness to the statement I made. biggrin

Parks in the parent and child spaces despite not having children, but drives a sprog wagon?? Besides, it's not as if a door ding in that is going to affect the value...

I think he's just played a pretty strong Top Trump card there for the most council car I've seen. I was expecting a Picasso based on the above comment, but... doze wheeelz...

How on earth is 'bloke finds post-it note on windscreen' national news though?

No, I think he's trying to say that the argument that the owner could make about trying to avoid dings in the door from other less cautious drivers, is invalid if he is protecting the value of his car, because it won't affect the value of the car, as it is a st car to start with. It will affect the appearance of the st car, but not its value

Thanks for clarifying, though it was "its just a car" comment.
