The Daily Mash

Nowhere near as funny as it likes to think.

Some people like to go to a pub to get pissed as cheaply as possible and don't really care about much else.

Follows on from the Daily Mash thread a couple of weeks ago, just not funny IMO.

It's a poke at the story about PoundPub opening in Stockton-on-Tees. A pint of lager costs £1.50.

njee20 - why open a thread about the Daily Mash when you told yourself two weeks ago that it's just not funny?

Do you have cucumber sandwiches despite hating the taste of cucumber?

Brilliant!

In a case of life imitating art etc… I think Weatherspoons in Piccadilly may have actually beaten them to it 😀

I used to work in a nightclub that sold tequila for 20p a shot, it was quite a lot like the article.

Because a lot of people rave about it, so like so many things I think "I'll give it another go, if this is as exceptional as implied". But you're right, I shouldn't have bothered.

this is the key thing with most Daily Mash articles - they are direct parodies of [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26728691 ]current news stories[/url].

So if you aren't aware of the current news then they make much less sense.

Klute in Durham city was doing this 15-20 years ago, and I expect probably still is.

Though I remember taking some of our French staff to a pub in Scarborough that had a metal turnstile on the door and served everything in plastic glasses - the look of horror on their faces 😆 let alone later when they saw lasses vomming and swamping in the gutter 8)

Quite amusing as usual
DD is right it is not as funny as it thinks but it often makes a very good point via taking the piss [ not in the sense mentioned above]
