Let's follow the Brits lead...

I can attest to this phenomenon, as my recent jaunt to Germany (last week) included even more beer consumption than I could have imagined -- it's the one beverage you can be sure is cold and refreshing.  So I say, we should support our suffering brethren across the ocean and drink up!  - Bags

 LONDON, Aug. 14 â??  With record-setting temperatures across Europe, Britons have fled for beaches, parks and pools. But while the heat wave has pushed suffering city-goers outdoors, they havenâ??t left their famous bitters behind. And the surge in binge drinking, especially among young people, has led to calls for a dramatic changes to the nationâ??s pub culture.

We still have the red uniforms and big fur hats, but only for the doodle tourists at Buckingham Palace..and we gave up on the marching into battle in a straight line after you had the French fight your battles for you all those years ago. Seems we've now got this battle thing down better than you lot going by the losses in Iraq.

Never do things for yourself that you can get others to do for you.Unless you enjoy it.

You know what's funny, I hadn't read the whole article.  I assumed it was all on the increase in consumption during this heat wave.
 
 Yeha, that's it Mank, we'll take from you being the most visibly drunk people in Europe!  [Who are we kidding, if we were in Europe, we probably would be anyway.]

Hey Mank, why do you live here again?

He drinks a whisky drink
 He drinks a vodka drink
 He drinks a lager drink
 He drinks a cider drink
 He sings the songs that remind him
 Of the good times
 He sings the songs that remind him
 Of the better times:
 
 "Oh Danny Boy
 Danny Boy
 Danny Boy..."

Because the American injustice system gave custody of my daughter to an American mother who doesn't give a rats about anything other than the child support check.
 
 Any other questions?

[thirsty moore]

You've never put it that way.  Sorry to hear about that.
