Hello all, I'm Jonathan, 20 going on 21, from Singapore. I'm in the army at the moment doing my two years of compulsory national service (a la Israel), but this ends in three months. After that I will be studying History at York University on a teaching scholarship, and returning to teach new young innocent generations about legions and Celtic soapmakers. I wish. My actual teaching syllabus will be all modern; stuff like the Cold War, World War II, and so on. So much more boring and tedious than the cut-and-dash lifestyle of the ancient world, where you could be skewered on a pike in a blink of an eye.
I've got a family of four, I'm the eldest son there, with a younger brother. Have been happily attached for a year and a quarter, and I converted my girlfriend over to EB early on, so that's a really big patch of common ground we now have.
*stares at empty glass, and orders something from the bartender involving curacao and creme de menthe*
Who's that standup guy on the stage? He's not funny at all! Boooo! :) A drink for him, none the less. *hands him a martini*
let me buy you a drink john, i just flew back to england from singapore today. it was my first visit, loved it.*orders a round of vodka sprites around the house*

Well, I would really have preferred that pee we call Tiger Beer, but i'm not going to argue over a free drink, they've got 10 influence and I'm totally open to their wiles. Muchas gracias, amigo. *raises mug of beer to you in salute*let me buy you a drink john, i just flew back to england from singapore today. it was my first visit, loved it.

I would now proclaim that I can say 'Bottoms Up' in nineteen different languages, but I've forgotten seventeen of them, so... Bottoms up, Salut!
*gives fatsweets a lager and a pat on the back* Cheer up fellow Companion, when things reach rock bottom there's only one way they can go eh? Anyway, you've come to the right place to find listening ears, free rounds of drinks, and encouragements for the future. Keep on Ebbing, all will get better.
And, where did you go in Singapore? Why didn't you come find me for a drink? :(
Why are you all standing around the bar? It's getting too crowded over there, this fine pool table is going to waste, such a well-crafted piece very fitting to this old one horse pub.
If this keeps up, we may all have to donate a little bit to Bootsiuv and help him make some extensions out the back, maybe turn the alley outside the backdoor into a BBQ area..
There are many who are interested in philosophy here.. Though most seem to have very contradicting hobbies along with them.
I know a very fitting song for a group of avid philosophy scholars discussing Camus in a small bar.
Ahem.
"iiiiiiiiImmanuel Kant was a real pissant who was ve-ry rare-ly stable....."

'Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table...' All together now!
"Davey Hughes could out-consume,
Good old Friedrick Hagel!
And Wittkinstein(???) was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel"
"There's nuthin'..."

Its Hegel and Wittgenstein
*continues singing*
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
