The thing the fascist fucks never grasp, of course, is that people are smart and resourceful and downright contrary (to the Righteous mind) and so always find ways to circumvent the latest insane, oppressive scheme. The more proscriptive the system, the more people simply lie and cheat to compensate. Simple human nature.<br /><br />They also never seem to realise that their efforts are ultimately pointless, destined only for an opprobrious footnote in history when their whole rotten system inevitably collapses. Righteous just don't seem to 'do' history.cornybornynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-49110507769415132009-10-20T14:14:26.920+01:002009-10-20T14:14:26.920+01:00Von S...

A Soviet style "shop" where the drinks were handed out under a cage barrier, like in post offices or banks, and ONLY on production of an I.D card (ANOTHER interesting "link" with todays Britain).<br /><br />IF your consumption went over a certain amount per month, and we are talking a couple of bottles of wine, half a dozen beers, and a half bottle of (30%) spirit, then you WOULD get a knock on the door from social services offering "alcoholism councilling".<br /><br />This IS the way Britain are going, and do NOT thionk looney Cameroon will help you.

I was clearing out my kitchen the other week and found I had a load of ciders and real ales which were left from lots of parties and unbelievably over a year out of date. Not sure of the effects of this but as I would not have drunk them (am a wine girl) I wasn't over keen on the possibility of what it would do to my poor guests. I also found some almost empty bottles where the contents were a dubious colour - one of them being some dodgy vodka (sorry about the next bit, bts).<br /><br />I decided just to get rid of it, poured it out and put the bottles and cans in the recycling (2 overfilled boxes worth)<br /><br />When should I expect the invite to an AA meeting?<br /><br /><br />For BTS - the black label smirnoff is safe!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969767902477233674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-55840772885752338922009-10-19T20:28:24.925+01:002009-10-19T20:28:24.925+01:00When I first heard of this, my initial reaction wa...When I first heard of this, my initial reaction was that we're back to price controls. They've flooded the market with money, and now they're trying to <em>tell</em> people not to sell it cheaply.<br /><br />But you make a good point, as does Quiet_Man. There's more to it.
