Guest IYG Posted August 6, 2005 I myself am drinking er... water. Dangerous stuff, that. Water is a major cause of death, but dilution with e.g. ethanol makes consumption less of a shock. regards, Hein I see. Well you hardly expect me to drink in a country where they are so barbaric as to make it illegal before I'm 21. Oh to be in Germany where the law is 16 or pretty much anywhere else where 18 is the age. I need a diet 7up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted August 6, 2005 Well you hardly expect me to drink in a country where they are so barbaric as to make it illegal before I'm 21. Hey, how many US voters are there between 18 and 21? How many of them would want the law changed? That could well tip a presidential election. Oh to be in Germany where the law is 16 or pretty much anywhere else where 18 is the age. In the Netherlands there's no legal drinking age, but there is a minimum age for buying alcohol: 16 for beer and wine, 18 for spirits. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I should move to Holland, I do like Amsterdam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted August 6, 2005 The legal age to buy alcohol is 18 here, but the amount of under age drinkers is phenominal, at the risk of sounding like an old fart ,I don't remember anyone in my era of being a teen standing on street corners and drinking till they either stabbed someone or passed out, we played football, Kick-the-Can (usually an old Tennants Lager can that some alky had thrown away!!) and Red Rover, we had fun, never knew a thing about drugs, we hadn't even heard of them, for us the thrill was hacking our way through the overgrown and treachourous banks of the river Clyde and coming across a tunnel, man made, and daring each other to go as far as you could into it, needless to say I was a 'crapper' and refused to go into the tunnel, I found out years later it was only the outlet to the Yoker Burn, but I have to say it was really spooky at the time and I still wouldn't walk in there for any amount of money.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted August 6, 2005 By popular demand, and for my 800th post, I shall relate the aforementioned joke. I expect the automatic-obscenity-removing-thingy may have a thing or two to say about it. A man entered a pub accompanied by an ostrich and an extremely vertically challenged red-haired person. All three seated themselves at the bar, and the man asked, "what would you both like to drink?" The Ostrich says, "I'll have a pint of large please," whilst the red-haired dwarf replies, "I'll hae a double whisky, but I''ll no be buyin' anything maself." Neville the part-time barman served the drinks as ordered and then asked the man (whom we shall call Jim), "How do you come to be in such unusual company?" Jim replies, "well, Tesco's were selling off their stocks of Banana Bread Beer this afternoon, so I went in and bought a bottle, just by way of experiment. I firmly believe one should not condemn anything until one has tried it, with the possible exception of folk-dancing. So I sat down with the bottle on the bench in front of the Memorial Library and on opening it imagine my surprise when out popped my Fairy Godmother who had got trapped in there somehow. She was a bit squiffy of course from the beer, but very grateful and said I could wish for anything I wanted and it would be granted. So I said "I'd like a bird with long legs and a tight little ginger C**t" "Oh, I see" said Neville the part-time barman. "Any good that Banana Bread Beer?" "No" replied Jim with great conviction, "It tastes bloody awful." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solzhenytsin Henry Kissinger Cliff Michelmore Vera Lynn I organised a half sweepstake half choice selection process where I made ten catergories with ten celebrities in each. Each player took it in turns to pick a catergory from a hat, i.e. politicians, and had first pick from that list. They then picked last from the next catergory. Not totally random so people had to do their homework but still couldn't guarantee they all got their choices. Complicated but successful. Thanks for reading, any comments would be appreciated.
