The Back Of 5

[Big Man]

Apparently this means different things to different people. Who knew...

 

 

Anyway if someone sais to you that they'll meet you in the office ''at the back of five'' - what time do you expect them to turn up?

[rossafc92]

5-5:30.

[minijc]

After 5 and before 6, simple.

[360]

Between 5:00 and 5:14

[Liam]

8pm at the earliest

[E-P-K]

Some North East fishing toons from years gone by, if you said half 5, you would mean 4:30.

 

This is how it still is in Norway and Denmark, so if you mean to say 5:30, make sure you say half past 5, or five thirty, but not half 5...

Morning or evening?

[Big Man]

Morning or evening?

 

Evening...

[daytripping]

10 past, quarter past, round about then anyway.

[Sheep#1]

it's been a slow day on here then I see.

[delta1red]

About now.

[The Boofon]

Evening...

 

 

Anything up to 1710 hours is the back of 5. 1710 hours then becomes 10 past 5 and the back of 5 stops until 0501.

 

Oh and if you were meeting someone at the back of 5 this evening then you're late.

[dj_bollocks]

Logically you would think the back of five would be just before 5 ie behind 5 on an analog clock... But clearly it's not...

[Sheeptastic]

I would say between 5 and quarter past. Stupid way of saying the time anyway.

[Aberdeen_Fan]

Yeah I would say just after 5. But before half past. Simples

[The Boofon]

5 to 5.30.

 

 

Isn't that another way of saying 5.25?

[Bluto10]

i hjust set my watch 1 hour early that way im never late

[Bluto10]

What happens when the clocks go forward?

 

aw dinna worry, i keep on top of these things.

[tommo1903]

The sort of folk that say the back of five are the same types that call their tea, "supper."

 

Weird folk.

[Bluto10]

The sort of folk that say the back of five are the same types that call their tea, "supper."

 

Weird folk.

 

its for folk that have never left their home village

[tup]

I use this phrase a lot, especially if it's for something I don't really want to be attending.

 

Cuts yersel a massive amount of slack.

 

The back of 5 can then be up to about 20 to 6 in my opinion.

 

I was meant to be at the Hawthorn at 'the back of 5'.

 

In reality, I never even turned up!

 

Classic phrase.

[Bluto10]

Breakfast

lunch

dinner

snacks

take away

[Bluto10]

You're my inspiration Bloots, bet no one has said that to you before.

 

But yeah, you're my insipration.

 

You inspire me to never become a fat cunt like you. .

 

hey, 3,4,5 are all optional and at your discretion

[tup]

I think bluto's been half muzzed for the last three weeks solid.

 

He'll be asking for park benches with WiFi shortly.

[Jigot]

Supper is toasted cheese and Hot Chocolate and a couple of Vallies.

[E-P-K]
