As an Inter-Faith Minister with the Universal Life Church, I would hitch y’all norts for free. Or maybe for a pint and a bag of crisps.
Question: is it still wedding tradition in Manchester to break a bottle of Vimto over the bride’s head?
vimto only comes in plastic bottles so it'd be more of a wet bludgeoning.
we don't have a minister or anything like that. most of the cost is just the party and all the fucking bullshit we have to pay for cause we are marrying abroad. i think we have to pay about £100 just to get our certificate translated from Greek....apparently they cant just use google translator.
it's relatively cheap as far as weddings go...probably around 10-12k all in...most people i know who got married in the UK paid 5 times that and some change....The main issue is that we booked the wedding before actually saving for it and only gave ourselves a year. lol.

woke up with a banging headache after not drinking at all yesterday....i assume it's cause I've worked over 400 hours in the past 5 weeks all staring at a computer screen.....anyway i decided to give myself a weekend off.
so far it's been fucking excellent..Kirsty is out all day/night working her second job behind a bar so i have the house to myself. lots of beer and bourbon has kicked the headache to fuck. feeling class now!!
I've done so little drinking recently I didn't even have any ice in!! thank fuck for ubereats groceries. Abaz got me 20 cold cans of beer, 2 bags of ice and a lime all delivered in 12 minutes flat through snow and ice. What a fucking hero!!! gave him a tip which is extravagant for an Englishman...probably first one he's ever had working that job in the UK.

Benito is the real hero, he passed out twice during the same skype call tonight
Yep. He's more hardcore than a rock star. If the beast is on a call, you can guarantee it will be a long effing night. Join us fellow drunkards, it's fun.
Visit from the visiting nurse. The undrunk member of the household fell on the shower tracks last month, had surgery, and is looking at skin grafts.
God watches over the drunkards I guess, as Grumpy just bleeds on the carpet when he falls down every night. I know a few ways to get out
blood stains.
It's a national holiday here today, so it involved a lot of drinking and some good food. First, lunch with the family - sadly, accompanied by the omnipresent "what are you doing with your life?" question where "drinking" is not considered a viable answer - that included good seafood and white wine. Then, I met up with some friends at a seaside tavern for ouzo and some more seafood, because ouzo does go very well with things that used to swim in the sea before they were caught, killed, and deep-fried. Now, back home and having a few semi-civilized glasses of wine until I pass out.

Trust me, you do NOT want google to take care of the translation. Don't know how it works with other languages, with Greek it loves screwing things up. Instead of a wedding certificate, you could end up with a confession to mass murder or taking the full blame for the country's financial situation. Besides, most of the money will go to civil servants getting paid to put stamps on papers they don't even look at, you're doing a good deed by helping our laziest make a living!
Okay. I woke up late. Had breakfast in a bakery. Went to a cafe outside nearby the waterside in my city. Had 2 tall Wheat Beers there and an Undercrown cigar. Now, I'm a dude who did drink a bottle of Booze many times. Two wheat Beers, one Cigar, standing up and I'm already stepping over my own feet. I get old...
I had some chicken I was going to use for some sort of a bacon and BBQ toasty sandwich. I grabbed my favorite HP spicy BBQ sauce from the fridge to slather on the bread before I grilled it. Then I squirted some on the plate on the side for dipping. For the life of me I thought the BBQ sauce went bad because it tasted completely off as if it was sour. It really was one of those "wth" moments.
It was then that I realized I had grabbed the HP brown sauce and not the BBQ. For you 'murricans, it's pretty much like pouring A1 steak sauce on your sandwich. However, in my defense, A. I'm 'murrican and unfamiliar with the product and B. the bottles are identical. I'm not entirely sure if I can blame it on drunkardism, stupidity, or what, but as I've previously mentioned, Badfellow witnessed me drunkenly do the same thing in a liquor store where I mistakenly bought New Amsterdam gin instead of vodka because the bottles also looked the exact same (different colored labels though). I guess the lesson here is, pay better attention to stuff, whether drunk or undrunk.
