Beer at five pounds a pint! Over the years inflation has taken the price of most goods to new highs. But looking at grog and smokes it appears to me they have gone up at twice the rate fo infaltion. But then ALL governmenst are as addicted to the tax as some guys are to the smokes or drinkw. Where ill it all end I ask?

Well here in Oz we have real drinking problems. Not only is the beer overpriced but we are not allowed to get legless in the pub anymore. Not allowed to have a fag unless it is outside. Bloody cops outside to book you if you have more than two schooners. No wonder the pubs and clubs are empty here. Now they want to stop you gambling to much. Bloody glad that I got a lot of the drinking done before all this sh8t came in. So how can you say you need help to give it up mate. We need all the help we can get to be able to carry on drinking with all these religious trying to sell us how bad it is for us all. Give me an old fashion pub where they would be three to four deep at the bar and what great times they where. Never heard of any problem that could not be solved in the pub after the fifth schooner.

Invest carefully:

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have £49.00 today.

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have £33.00 today.

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have £0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased £1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminium cans for recycling refund, you would have received a £214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.

A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you proud to be British, doesn't it?

As was pointed out with regard to drinking and driving, 20% of all accidents are caused by drunk drivers, so 80% are caused by sober drivers, it follows that statistically its much safer to drive pi**ed, regards Keith Tindell

Les mate the medicos are getting at us as well. They say no more than two standard drinks at a sitting. So I guess it is Ok to have the rest standing.

Had to laugh about a news item on the box. They where on about fake ID's and underage drinking. Not only that the young ones actually boast about doing it that iit is becoming a real problem here. What a load of bull. Is there any one of you that did not sneak into a pub and have at least a few beers before you where of age. Recall that I was told to just sit down and keep quite if the coppers came in and not to get another beer until after they had left. How much more can we take away from our kids. I can see the kids of today really rebeling over all the sh8t that is thrown their way and it is these do gooders that are making it bloody hard for everyone involved. Maybe I had the wrong attitude with my kids as I told them that there are no rules in the house until they got out of hand then we would discuss how to impliment them once they could sit down. There is nothing like learning and respecting your freedom and still can not ever recall any kid in school with ADH or what ever the latest bloody topic is as most of them all they needed is a loving home and a sore back side now and again. Of course there is going to be underage drinking and there always will be. That is how we learnt to control our drinking well maybe after a few bad mornings after.

Around 1996 I was asked by security at a well known Ft Lauderdale watering hole for my I.D. before letting me in.........I asked him if I was 'too old" to drink !!! (was 66 at the time).
