The Death of Mary Ds....

Hope he's not driving early this morning.

pps The kerb weight of a brand new standard specification Range Rover (a decent 4x4?) is 2480kg, so I wasn't too far out was I?

You need to get out a bit more.

Let's recap. There are 4 in the car. They spend £40 between them. The parking is £8 leaving £32 between them. The rest of the spend is not on beer. It's clear from the posts he has made he does not drink and drive.

Now, if your gripe is based on anything that has happened to your or yours due to a drunk driver, then I am truly sorry and upset you've had to go through something because of the selfish actions of an idiot.

However, this lad is not that person. This lad does not drink and drive. This lad pointed out, to underline what a crap pub it is, that he is being ripped off because they have doubled the cost of parking just because of his choice of vehicle.

Finally, he tries to make light of your post to avoid turning this thread into an unnecessary argument, thus giving you an 'out' in the process. You then chose to argue about the weight of a bloody car and pull someone else up about their spelling.

I'm not one for quoting tv programmes or films, but as an exception... "what the f*ck is wrong with you?"

Is censorship that strict in Beijing that the only way you can deal with your frustrations is to have a pop at lads on a City internet forum?

There are lot's of people here to have intelligent debate with and even more Manchester United supporters to argue the finer points of English football with than there are back at home in Manchester but one thing stands out which is a little worrying for the future of our great country is the ability of the average Chinese person to speak and write English better than the majority of posters on this forum. The word is offence by the way, I despair sometimes really!

lot's? lot's? FFS, take this poster out and have him shot immediately - but only after pointing out that punctuation free 70+ word sentence...

Have a word with yourself. How old did you say you were?

Hoist by my own petard, almost. I admit to the punctuation error early in the sentence but I assume, from your comment, your grammatical knowledge extends to the use of the run-on sentence? Compared to the illiterate nonsense that gets posted on here day after day, it was a minor offense (sic).

In conclusion :

Mary D's is shit.
Drink driving is bad.

Yes, I'm also aware it's considered a grammatical error, even though it's used in literature or rhetorically.

I wouldn't consider your post to be a run-on as it contains conjunctions. YOMV.

A Vowel please Carol

Back to the point, pint or whatever Mary D's is shit.
I went in for the first time on Thursday at about 2pm, was early but of course dead.
Beer tasted crap, place is a dated dump.
Went back in before the match after going into town, was quite busy but still shit beer and a dump.
Good setout though, could do a roaring trade in the right hands that place.

Is Mary D's still going? I thought people would soon get sick of anti united songs, a soapy beer and and feeling crushed for a pre-match atmosphere like i did in 2006/

I'm well aware of the maths involved and my reply about the weight of a 'bloody car' was in response to another poster and not marco. Nowhere in any of his posts does he say he doesn't drink and drive, in fact he didn't answer a direct question about it. I am not coming from any kind of 'victim' angle by the way.

ps To all those posters that have pointed out it's very early morning here, thanks I know! I work for a UK company and sometimes have to be up during your business hours. It doesn't mean I've had too many sherberts or smoked a big one! Sadly, I looked at bluemoon whilst waiting for a phone call and surprisingly got a load of abuse for posting my thoughts on drunk driving.
