Government plans to curb cheap booze offers

Hey BSR, we just produced the fifth series of probably the wittiest and most off-beat sitcom the world have ever seen, Peep Show. It's probably too intellectual for an American audience, hence the fact you haven't heard of it.

 

I heard they age them in rum barrels too.

But I though the colour came from the wood...?

We've got peat in the ground, where-as you only have dust. Dust is basically just hundreds of years of dried horse shit. Ha!

 

Actually Bourbon comes from Kentucky for a reason. It has something to do with the minerals in the water coming up through iron and coal beds or something like that, too early in the morning to remember. Yes, the color and woody flavor come from the charred oak barrels. But the Bourbon soaks in and then the Scotch leeches it out.

 

Shows that the government is just the gimps of other groups.

I think the whole working class should stop drinking booze and go to the opera/theatre and Henley on Thames to annoy a few toffs instead.

The "Establishment" 'd soon be begging em to go out and get pissed instead again...

Personally I think we''ll end up with illegal production of booze.
Synethetic drugs are so cheap , noone makes a profit out of em..

 

Yeah it is the water that gives whisky it's distinct taste.

 

The quality of ale might get better then.

 

True - I gave up drinking beer because everywhere would water it down.
And the fines are so tiny , it justifies landlords doing it.

Lager tastes ok watered down.Beer tastes yukkkk tho

 

You haven't tasted proper ale then.

 

Real beer tastes ok.
Its just the tadpoles u get with it

Nah its too heavy for a night out , I find.
Ok for with a meal tho
Never thought I'd say it , but good continental type lager ( not the chemical bland shit) is what I tend to go for.

Caffreys and stuff is ok tho..

 

Caffreys! Get out of here.

Fuck all those shitty cream ales.

If you get a nice real ale, with a pleasant hop, trust me you'll be dancing on the tables by the end of the night. Goes down far too well that stuff, and the beauty of it is next day you don't have a hangover whatsoever, you just feel slightly pissed still.

 

No hangover?I believe u?

All the stuff I've had was just too flat...

I once had a hangover without a hangover
- vodka - no headache , just alcoholic poisoning.
Now thats sthg to get pissed on.

 

Now the fucking health groups are winging about this. Fuck it, I'm just going to brew my own beer, that way I wont have to fund wars in the middles east every time I buy a pint!

A pub chain is cutting the price of a pint to 99p to cheer cash-strapped drinkers - but the move has sparked criticism from an alcohol charity.

 

Doesn't the media (especially the BBC) always find some tin pot group that "raise concerns" and everything seems to "spark criticism"?
If the media did not find groups like that, there would be no story.
I like it when something has been out about 12 hours and the media says: "controversy arose last night". No it bloody well didn't, everybody was in bed.

 

Well I'd love to join you on a wee swallie there Donald, but sadly I am full of the blasted cold. That's right, last year I worked my ass off in a dusty metal works factory, saw practically no sun, and now all that and the lack of vitamin D has caused me to develop occupational rhinitis, cold sores and now the flu. If only these tin pot groups would spark something off about the fact that unhealthy slave labour patterns are the main cause of illness in society.

I feel like just fucking off to the himalayas and never coming back, I really do. The western hemispehere just doesn't know shit about what is good for your health and what isn't.

 

Did I ask to go for a drink with you?
No, seriously, it would probably be fun, it would certainly be different.

Occupational rhinitis! NASTY.
Sounds like you could get some compo' for that.
I keep drifting in and out of having flu like systems, I'm hoping it is just the usual bug that goes around this time of year and not anything too serious.

They do. But, I suspect they are not "sexy" enough for the news.
The media would rather focus on how broken Britain is (apparently.)

I'd take western medicine over eastern medicine any day of the week.
All those whale penises and cows testicles - no thanks.
Apart from being as useful as a square football, they don't give a toss about their fellow animals. Bastards.

 

I think that is what I might have anyway, at least that is what my latest research into cybercondria has told me.

Either way, I felt fit as a fiddle before i started this job. And now... I might as well have just sold one of my kidneys, I'd be better of financially then.

No worries if ya don't want to go for a drink with me, it wasn't a ghey offer. But you know, I just won the lottery and I've got some nice hash so it's your loss.

Eastern medicine all the way for me, I'm on the cat's claw and ginber lemon tea.

 

Poor you (that was sincere btw.)

I was only joking. Honest.
I didn't ultimately say I didn't want to go for a drink with you.
If there is hash there too, i'd be on the next bus
I did not take it as being a date, either
How much did you win?

Well if the placebo effect works for you - go for it.
Just dump the cats claw please

 

Cat's claw is good for you!

69 pounds.

I'm off out for some fresh air, with a very large flask of tea. I need more gimber.

 

Sure it is.

Wow, don't spend it all at once!

I thought you meant ginger

 

Depends where you go.

You all still unhappy about the booze?
