Brighton rules

If one of the group calls “Brighton rules”, then every pub seen on a route from location A to location B must be entered and a pint each consumed. Clarifications: must be a pint, and must be a pub as per the standard definition (no “bars”).

Ed’s called Brighton rules, keep an eye out for the next pub as we have to get a pint. And the one after that, and after that..

The Toothpaste Rule

It is a term for a day of adjustment.It is a rule where when you change something, it takes one day to adjust. Like when you buy a new tube of toothpaste and use it for the first time you find it awful but the next time you totally forget about it. Or when you drive on the other side of the road in another country , it takes one day to adjust to the change.

"Oh, it's like the toothpaste rule"

"It's exactly like the toothpaste rule , I'm gonna call of the toothpaste rule "

"No,no Burnie, it's the toothpaste rule. Anything that takes a day now — toothpaste rule."

"I'll see you next toothpaste rule "
