It says 'please try to avoid using too many posts containing just smilies'.

He's only used two and that's because he's in a hurry to get to the bar and get me that pint!

Don't slow him down.

Sorry, only had £20, and at £4 a pint, that only gets me... how many pints?

One for you, four for me.

I really need to start going pub again, just to find out how much a pint costs.

Well, that's as good an excuse as any..."just slipping out, dear, I need to conduct an in-depth survey into the retail price of beer,"

A penny cheaper than how much?

I wish you would, it's costing me a fortune buying my own.
Don't worry about the penny, I'll show you where you can get me a pint of good real ale for £2.10. It may even be £2.09 after today!

I get it. I was confused-I thought algebra was an actual mathematical theory involving numbers and letters-which my brain didn't entertain the logic of!I used to sit there thinking 'Maths is numbers. English is letters-what's the deal with mixing the beggars up?!?'

In the above situation I could work that out-I'm not THAT bad but never thought of it as algebra.

Edited to add, in the time it has taken me to write that post and post it.. you've ended up having a good sup behind my back. Where's my invite?

No problem on the Maths lesson-I was genuinely intrigued!

The smilies rule-I thought that was just for over-use? Does it need to be re-written if it's not allowed at all?

From "World Maths day" to the price of beer, thats some good thread wandering.

At that price, it can only be the rocket fuel in the greyhound.

Is that the regular bitter in there? I regularly have a couple of prematch pints and I can't say I've noticed the effects. Maybe I'm not drinking enough of it?
