Contraband Coffee Cup Gone :0(

[joggerjayne]

At the Amex, we're not supposed to take alcohol into the seats.

So the accepted procedure, naturally, is to keep one of the Nescafé Gold coffee cups, and wash it. Then you can take it with you, buy the jolly little bottles of wine, and decant them into your Nescafé cup to drink during the match.

So I leave the flat for a very short time to go to the supermarket, and ...

Olive has thrown away my coffee cup.

:0(

I wonder if you can just buy cardboard Nescafé coffee cups?

[Old_Geezer]

Did the 'dustmen' get to the bin that fast ?

[joggerjayne]

I'm not so desperate that I'm going to dig a cardboard cup out of the bin, lol

[stuey]

I would suggest, JJ, for that most heinous and flagrant act of mindless destruction of you personal property that your only logical course of action is to bin Olive.

[Hopkirk]

Winter is in sight.

Get yourself a hip flask, and switch to brandy.

[B00]

I couldn't drink booze out of a cardboard cup!

I'm seriously dischuffed when it's served in plastic glasses at particular venues, but i'd refuse it altogether in a cardboard one.

It's just simply not done!

[snags]

Oooh get you.

[stuey]

B00, I'm led to believe that people from Brighton, not Hove actually, do things...well, quite differently.

[B00]

Really stuey?

Heathens!

[HansUrbancka]

Wherefore from didst thou chance upon that which has now been Olivated. ?

Hans.

[jno]

I've heard they don't raise their little finger just so when sipping from a cardboard receptacle, either.

No wonder Hove want nothing to do with them.

[B00]

Really jno?

What is the world coming to eh?

[jno]

they're halfway to Rwanda down there in the south. They probably have their own strain of Ebola.

[stuey]

The world as we know it is coming to an end, and the end of Brighton pier is the beginning of the end.

[joggerjayne]

// Wherefore from didst thou chance upon that which has now been Olivated? //

Why, from the ground on Saturday, of course. We were there for the game against Middlesbrough.

I have to say ... we were jolly impressed with the Boro turn out. Over 1,700 of them. It's a heck of a long way from Middlesbrough to Brighton.

All the Brighton supporters gave the Boro supporters a huge round of applause when the tannoy chap announced how many of them had come down from Middlesbrough.

[sunny-dave]

memo to self "GET EYES TESTED"

What with it being Brighton, I read that as "when the tranny chap announced"

oops Dxx

[joggerjayne]

The genteel residents of Hove (Actually) do look down on us, somewhat.

[joggerjayne]

He could be a tranny.

You never get to see him.

He just announces who is being substituted, who has scored (not really applicable to Brighton this season, obviously), and how many people have turned up to the game.

We always give the visiting fans a round of applause, but especially so if they've come all the way from Middlesbrough.

[joggerjayne]

Starbucks do these reuseable ones. They're some sort of plastic material.

That's what we need.

[stuey]

JJ, slightly off topic. I have two books printed in 1969 and published by The Machinery Publishing Co. LTD, New England House, New England Street, Brighton, BN1 4HN. Are the building and the business still there? One of the books cost the grandiose sum of 5s.

[joggerjayne]

Don't know stuey. A publishing company? That road runs into another road called Fleet Street. Coincidence, I wonder? I'll cycle up there some time this week and let you know.
