    I’ll have you know that it’s technically a salve.



    A shocking pink salve.

    8 yrs ago in lefkada i was given tsipouro to try by a greek barman as a chaser to my vodkas. he said be careful its very strong. i ignored him and drank loads of them and got very very drunk. on the way home i collapsed 50 yrds from the villa and my wife couldnt move me. i was conscious but my legs simply wouldnt work. as if i was paralysed.
    i used to have a pal who when close to being drunk used to prop himself up against the bar. i remember one time asking why and he said when he gets drunk his legs stop working. as in legless. id wondered how that could be until experiencing it for myself. never had it since. maybe due to the respect i treat tsipouro with. i always ask whats your local firewater and the bottle under the counter often comes out.......with plantpot

    I think you are right to a certain extent, although I just like pubs to do things right, and most do to be fair.

    It certainly doesn't resemble any law I've been brought up to respect and live by.

    No way he should have avoided jail, but the other guy is also a **** for burning the Koran outside the Turkish consulate.

    Live and let live.

    Don’t tweet it you’ll get put away because the tweet is more threatening than the slashing with the knife and the kicking him on the floor with some help also . You wouldn’t have put this in a sci fi film / thriller 30 years ago - too far fetched .

    I agree,the bloke who did the antagonising in the first place shouldn't have done what he did,he's a pr!ck:emoticon-0148-yes:

    That said,I've never stood in front of a judge(sheriff)yet who has openly encouraged taking the law into your own hands and arming yourself to do so.There's absolutely no rationale in not banging him up,it's actually incredible and worrying,both at the same time.

    Technically you're wrong. Pepperami for example have 108% pork listed on the ingredients. This is because they have to put the weight of the meat before it was cured and it shrinks.

    So perhaps when a football manager is asking for 110% he means 10% in the warm up and then 100% during the game.

    That’s why you should always drink with me.

    I agree. On every count actually.

    Sadly it’s not uncommon though.

    Since 2020 repeat knife offenders should get a mandatory prison sentence, but of even those who have done it more than once less than a third get locked up (in 2023 anyway) That can’t be right. Is it due to prisons being too full?

    On the wider point anyone should be able to take the piss about any religion.
