I was drinking a cocktail the other night at a party when a bloke threw a 1 pence coin in my drink. What's that all about? Also people knock their bottle onto an opening of somebody else's bottle to make the beer gas up and erupt all over. What is the matter with these people?

You just joined the Army!

Used to be the trick to place the "King's shilling" in the beer, and by drinking it you had accepted

However with having a Queen, decimalisation, inflation and Defence cuts.... they are using pennies

I'd rather gnaw off my foot than watch BB.

I haven't owned a TV for years so I miss out on these gems of life. Instead I fill my boots right here on CC. Self righteous? Yes I am I guess, but I just did not get into telly. Plenty else to do.

My oldest daughter had 5 years of bullying at primary school. It was very destructive and for a number of reasons, very hard to stop. I never in my life imagined I would lie awake at night plotting to disembowel someone else's child. She is ok now she is 15 and at senior school. Now she is one of life's achievers. Intelligent, happy and beautiful. I am a proud dad.

I was in trouble often at school (and long after I left) In regard to how I dealt with bullies. I actively hunted them out and I guess I was guilty vigilanteism. That was nasty in itself in retrospect. With some guidance, it was pinned onto my issues I had with my biological father. That's all fixed and I'm a worthy, valuable community member.

Bullying is unacceptable and is abuse and has long reaching effects.
 
Tells us more about telephones with physical buttons, grandpa!

Back in the 21st century, apparently people actually microwaved their iphones because someone on the internet told them it would charge them.

I work for the NHS

ALL the phones have a button that depresses when the handset is put back in the cradle!

My favorite phone prank is when someone it's on a call grab the earpiece and pull it away from their ear, their natural reaction is to resist the pulling and hold it to their ear whereby you let go and let them twat themselves with it.


The success rate for it is almost 100%

You can have that one for free.:okay:

All ours are too, we are almost entirely on the CISCO 'voip'(?) phones


I've seen, amongst other japes
- Cellotape/surgical tape spread all over a door, so someone thinks they're walking into a spiders web, especially if they're distracted as they enter the room:laugh:
- Clingfilm covered toilets, targets have to be carefully chosen
- Fluorescein, in syringes, & a kind of weird paintballing carried out Doctors v Nurses (on night-shifts, when they used to be quiet)


Why don't you put some black ink around the mouthpiece and ear piece of the handset....
Works with Binoculars too, as ably demonstrated here, by Colonel Sherman T Potter (Harry Morgan), in the wonderful M*A*S*H:notworthy:



Same episode, with BJ & Sidney, but sadly not really easily copied

I shared a house with a mate of mine years ago, he often had his mad French girlfriend over and I didn't really warm to her. (Ok, she was a dickhead). First thing when she woke up was to get a coffee and go out into the garden. I was downstairs and noticed in the night a huge garden spider had built a web across the whole door frame, the door opened inward. You can see it coming can't you?

"Ahh, I'll just leave that and hope the expected happens...." I thought to myself. Within half an hour she had risen, got her coffee and almost made it into the garden, instead getting shrouded in the web and screaming loudly.....

Oh how I smiled on the inside.

Tempted, but as that person is dealing with a patient a few minutes later.... looks unprofessional

However when living in accommodation with communal areas, there would be an occasional problem with food going missing
So teure is an indelible blue die called Patent Blue, which takes a week or more to wear off and washing is ineffective in its removal

So..... get a Mars Bar and inject it full of this stuff, or a Blackcurrant Yoghurt

Then wait.

Thief then goes around for a week with a blue mouth tongue (and chin in the case of the Mars Bar)

Practical joke and practical justice.......... as everyone knows what this means

What you really needed for that to have even more effect was.....................Spider-Dog...................
