Good


Though...



How are you supposed to get more drunk

I think that's the whole point - they don't WANT you to get drunk. If you get someone to buy your drink so you can get more drunk, they can get into trouble for it.

I have to say, I think you're pretty safe on this one - better things to do. The Police will just get you when you are outside and making a nuisance of yourself instead

I hope no-one tips them off about the CW Pub meets - I heard about the last one

Then whats the point of Drinking Alcohol?? If you want a refreshing drink and stay sober, then they should just sell Water !!

To get you merry Craig, not to the point where you are passing out, making a nuisance or being violent.

I don't think the target is the likes of those that are nice drunks, it's more for the idiots that you see on the likes of the late night Police shows.


These laws have been in effect for many many years, and I don't think I have heard of one person being convicted for buying a drunk mate a drink - I could be wrong though.

Stuy - I don't know what you heard, but we were all sober and well behaved

Yeah, yeah, Im sure we will see at the next one....

Only if you bother to show up Stuy

2 pints and Im on the floor ....

...cant hurt anyone when your down there

Lightweight

Hey 2 pints of Vodka is a lot for anyone

a lot of money too.

hmmm...loving the 80 quid fixed penalty for possesion of weed!

Bill and Ben are fooked then...



They nearly always had weed with them...

I'm wondering if that one is going to be strictly enforced or is it going to be confiscation and caution the first time i.e. will it be Officers' discretion

If it's strictly enforced, is it going to be paid via the Mags or a FPO?? Can't find anything that says will have to do more digging.


Stuy - you are on fire today mate!!

Good job I'm never disorderly - sounds very complicated when they tell you off!

No comment

nah..wont be cautionary...will be a straight FPN....think of the cash babay!..gordons a bit skint at the mo!

Is he fook!

He's probably got all our money stuffed under his mattress - his nose probably touches the ceiling at night!!

Oh joy - think of the paperwork!! I can see them needing to have 24 hour Mags at this rate

MissG - at least it's away from George Dubbya's arris when it's on his ceiling

All thse new penalties. should just go back to 10pm closing and no alcohol to be sold in shops or supermarkets after that same time of a night. Come back the good old 1950s.

I'm not sure it's the hours that need changing, I think it's the attitude that you have to get hammered to have a good time and the fact that people (mainly young males, but increasingly females) tend to get very "silly" when they have a skin full.

I rarely drink, and when I do, I tend to remember everything and do not get violent or "silly" (there are those that would say I'm silly to start with, not mentioning any names ) Stuy, MissG, Scott et al. I get merry, but very very rarely drunk.

Unfortunately, neither the opening hours nor attitudes to drink look like they will change in the foreseeable future

A great excuse for getting out of paying for that last round if ever I heard one

Never looked at it like that
