    No, it means that she's decided to become a goat-herder and wishes you to join her on an excursion to the Chilean mountainside to examine prospective purchases.

    Yeah, wanting to meet in a public, neutral place is pretty much a guarantee. Don't let her drag it out. Make her get to the fucking point and if she starts going on about how she feels and shit, just interrupt her and say, "it's over, right? That's really all I need to know so I can get on with my life. Bye."

    Look, if you don't understand my needs then you can just shove off, buster.

    I am a nuanced and highly regarded goat-herder and I can't just settle for any old sheep with plastic horns tacked on. You may not understand that, but that doesn't mean you can't accept it!

    Her error was taking so long. A day or so earlier and I would be all "It's okay *placate* *placate*".

    Now I'm just pissed off with this dicking about.

    For a minute I thought you were talking about drugs.

    Then I thought you were suggesting not remembering anything good about the relationship.

    Then I got it.

    Seriously though, it would be pretty much a one-way thing. I think I have a bottle of wine, some laundry detergent and a frying pan. She has my box-set of "My name is Earl".

    Oh my god...that is CHEAP for you guys?

    A typicall crate of Heineken, consisting of 24 0.3l bottles cost about 9 euros here.

    So that's 7.2l for 9 euros, which makes it about 1.25 euros per liter, as opposed to your 2.40 euros per liter.

    Wow... and thats Heineken, not "Dutch Gold". If you buy some B-brand the beer will cost almost half of this.

    Thats because in Ireland the government thinks the only way to stop down the drinking problem is by ripping us off

    but they forget that getting drunk is pretty much considered a duty by the common irish man, an act of patriotism even.

    I love traveling to europe the drink is so damn cheap its fantastic.

    Here in the Netherlands, yes it is. It's in the lower price range of the "normal" A-brand everyday-drinking beers.

    I was in Dublin a lot last year and the beer was indeed, contrary to my expectations, very expensive. You pay the same for a pint of guiness over here as in most pubs I was over there. Seeing how the brewery is down the street, this is pretty much ripping of the locals.

    And tourists.

    Allright cool. I can't see how it's that expensive either, but prices will settle once the HUGE OMG ECONOMIC BOOOOM will subside, I guess.

    Oh and Axim: prices vary considerably. Here in holland, beer is relatively cheap, as in Belgium and Germany. In Scandinavia, alcohol prices are outrageous. Once you go to eastern europe, the beer is practically free. I don't remember France and Spain....

    Yes we use the the "english" system here.... pints, gallons, feet, yards, pounds.

    Beer usually comes in 12-oz cans or bottles, don't know why. But you can order a pint of ale at the pub. The really good ones have the tall Imperial pints too.

    Only thing really different is that we pretend we actually elect our King I guess...
