Hello Patty, we get a wide demographic of boozehounds here as well. The acne-encrusted alkies just get noticed more because they get up more people's noses, but there's a couple of "senior" characters too. They're normally on the street corner outside the off licence, bottle of strong lager in hand, and add a little local colour to the town. "Bubba" and his mate are the the traditional town drunk type, think Rab C. Nesbitt or Shadrach Dingle.
The only local colour the rat-arsed kids add is usually in a puddle on the pavement...

You can get a bottle of Bell's from Tesco, our biggest supermarket chain, for £15.50 which is about $24.50. If you aren't fussy what you drink you can get a bottle of their own brand scotch for £9.97, or $15.78. Around here the supermarkets tend to be cheaper than the off-licences, or bottle shops.

I live in a small town in the middle of rural Suffolk. Around here the teenagers do nothing but get bladdered every weekend, probably because there's nothing else to do, and invariably just cause trouble. Pubescent piss-artists get tanked up on cider that doubles as paint stripper, about three quid for two litres, and hang around outside the take-aways in the High Street or in the churchyard and shout, scream, vomit and break stuff.
Earlier tonight there was a fight at the block of flats (apartments) up the road from my house which was most definately alcohol fuelled. Across town a camper van (motor home) caught fire. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a deliberate act as arson is a popular nocturnal sport amongst the drunken dickheads here and we have had a few instances of it recently.
If a minimum price per unit helps curtail any behaviour of this kind it can only be a good thing. The drinks industry may whine about it penalising sensible drinkers but they aren't the problem. It's the imbeciles who insist on drinking themselves into oblivion and inflict themselves on the rest of us who are, and they have brought it upon themselves.

Secret signal to find each other at District Convention
by RayPublisher inlast year this was brought up and it was a great idea but maybe a bit too late.
do you remember the "secret signal" that was going to be used?
it should not be mentioned in the main thread, only through email and pms.

Does this happen in the UK as well? My local congo will be at Bowes Road, London early July I think and they're guaranteed to ask me along

The Big Bang Theory; finally a TV show for us geeks. I wish I could post the entire script, but I'll settle for a little exchange between Leonard and Sheldon...
Leonard: Have you considered telling her your feelings?
Sheldon: Leonard, I'm a physicist, not a hippie.
Leonard: Well let me see if I can explain your situation using physics. What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?
Sheldon: Screwed.
Leonard: There you go.

Random Questions
by DT ini just had some random thoughts and questions and decided it might be tiresome to start a different thread for each one, so i'm consolidating.. suppose someone had a sign showing a picture of a gun pointed at you and a caption saying "this shun gun is pointed at you.
" then suppose this sign was shown to visiting jehovah's witnesses without saying a single word.
how do you think they would react?.

Trying to explain the trinity got me kicked out of a religious education lesson in high school once. The teacher asked "Can anyone tell me what the three-in-one is?" I put my hand up and said "yes miss, cleans, protects and lubricates". She replied "Peter, I really don't think that's right" so I said "yes it is, my dad's got a can in the garage".

There's not a great deal of difference between the manufacturers these days, but the cost of consumables varies greatly. Kodak printers are supposedly cheap to run, although I can't vouch for them personally due to compatability issues. I run Linux on most of my systems, and have an Epson printer/scanner which uses cheap cartridges and works well on both it & Windows.
