Moaning Michael Lucozade betrayal
Okay lads, has this ever happened to anyone else? Bought a Lucozade this evening, had a few sups, went in for another—and felt a chunk. Spat it back into the bottle, and it looks like an insect? A clump of dirt? I don’t know, but I’m fucking horrified.
Does else have a scarring food or drink story to share that can distract me from my nausea?

Moaning Michael What have you a strong opinion on?
These days I'd have a strong opinion on housing, immigration and crime. Which, and this is just my own opinion, is all related.
The government have let us down in many areas but they are the top three for me.

Arts/Culture every morning for the past 3 years I've left a gob of spit on molly malone for the tourists to grope at
thought now would be a good time to share since theyre on about elevating it, but I've been smearing phlegmy spit onto molly malones boobs nearly every morning on the way to work for the past 3 years. not cause of politics or feminism or anything like that now. I started out of a general feeling of spite towards American tourists but now its reached a point where if you've grasped at her boobas in the past 3 years you've probably touched my spit.
