Chucking stuff at people

[STN]

yes, if you are waiter who is in the business of being well rude to scruffy twenty-somethings, the best thing you can do is befriend a foxy European woman, otherwise you're getting fruited.

It was glorious, I just happened to glance out of my window and there he was! I then glanced at my coffeetable and there was a satsuma! Evidence of divine intervention. Take that, Dawkins.

It's especially gratifying when the target's a DJ or musician, but one of the funniest incidents I recall was when a female member of some communist faction had to flee a hail of cheese and onion mini-quiches at QMW college sometime in the mid-90s.

this almost exactly mirrors my throwing a cheese and onion sandwich at the lead singer of (awful 90s indie band with dreadful name) Symposium outside King's College students' union. maybe paul can start a thread about throwing cheese and onion foods at people outside college's named after royals.

what is it with symposium cropping up in *every* thread right now? this is getting disturbing. especially for someone who saw them live (sort of by accident, honest) several times in 95/96. they were awful. and then revealed themselves to be christians, which killed their nme/melody maker kudos, iirc

I threw bad vibes at Richard Ashcroft when I see him by Spitafield Market this morning as he blanked me when I shouted "Verrrrrve" at him

 

[STN]

Really? Were they christians? I seem to recall a girl in my class went out with one of them. They were bloody, bloody awful, and you should be ashamed of yourself, dan, for failing to throw anything at them.

A sandwich is a classic throw - peel it apart in the playground and you have a weapon that will stain a nasty acrylic jumper for the rest of the afternoon.

When I was a kid we used to enjoy this activity called 'the friday afternoon history fruit throw', our history class was on the second floor, the rest of the moniker is fairly self-explanatory.

"I threw bad vibes at Richard Ashcroft"

A mediocre Britpop singer once got hit in the face by a paintball, point blank (someone brought a paintball gun to the gig). 'Bad vibes'...a nice start, but you have to raise your game.

i didn't have a sandwich to hand alas, but yes, i agree.

googling 'symposium christian indie' is getting me nowhere lol

but they were, i'm sure of it!

I threw an apple at Prince Charles once.

I salute you, sir.

I hope it was some sort of weird white cubic modernist apple, just for insult-to-injury value.

that iraqi journalist has some competition on this board... he still wins though.

When I was younger we used to throw water bombs at the prostitutes working at the bottom of my street, feel a bit guilty about it now, but it didn't stop them asking me for business , even when I was walking to the shops with my mum.

Now that's what I call a work ethic.

 

[STN]

what have you done with the real tea? Someone's mention prostitutes and their mum IN THE SAME SENTENCE, and nary a whisper from you...

I don't know, I guess a sort of ennui...you could call it mum-fatigue.

(But then, your mum is exceptionally fatiguing.)

 

[STN]

Well, it's been a good week for chucking stuff at people, with Calvin Harris getting hit by a shoe and Morrissey getting clonked on the noggin by a plastic cup.

This reminds me, a bloke I used to work with was coined at an amateur football match once.

Oi!

This reminds me, a bloke I used to work with was coined at an amateur football match once

My brother told me he was at a Barnet - Enfield match in the 80s, and he narrowly avoided being brained by a half-brick (think he stooped down to light a fag). Barnet v Enfield was crazy back then. Also, he took a Leeds-supporter to a Spurs v Leeds match once (they were both in the lower South Stand) and the Leeds guy got hit by a dart by his own fellow supporters. My brother thought that was hilarious.

There was some game in Northern Ireland, yonks ago, where they were setting bogroll on fire and throwing it down onto the pitch, but I can't remember who was involved now.

Obviously this is really out of order but I remembered the other day that one of my American cousins went through a phase of going to drive-thrus and ordering the most immense coke (which over there is seriously about 8 pints in a plastic bucket), then, the moment it was handed to her, just dashing it straight back through the serving window at the person.

I'm sure she'd be mortified if reminded of all this now, ten years on.

The more I hear about this side of your family the more I want to hear.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Ha, just when you thought working in a drive-thru wasn't quite a shitty enough job as it is - SPLASH!

Pure evil.

 

[STN]

You chuck it cup and all, I think.

Rich - yes, this is in fact the daughter of the author of that incident I told you about.
