Being a West Country lad, there's one clear winner as far as I'm concerned. With his cack-handed attempt at deterring teenage binge drinkers, the winner is old Pubebrows himself...
Alistair Darling Unfortunately, I'm not so sure that the impassioned plea that I sent him, in the heat of the moment you understand, will have the desired effect I'm afraid. With apologies to any "Septics" that may be reading, I e-mailed him the following...
"Oi Darling, the last time you guys tried to pull a stunt like this - namely the Cider Bill of 1763 - it led to widespread rioting, the fall of a Prime Minster and to the introduction of the extremely unpopular Stamp Act of 1765. This in turn led to the colonials getting all wound up, to such an extent that they eventually went and kicked off the American War of Independence. And where did that get us? Playing second fiddle to the bloody Septics, that's where!
So, unless you want to see the birth of a new Superpower, in the form of the United Counties of the West Country (or as I like to refer to it, "the good old UC of WC"), then I suggest you back off now and leave the fermented Apple Juice alone!"

I'm tempted to nominate photobucket. 'Cos they censored my album and ruined my post in TOTW about 3 weeks ago: click+scroll down and you'll see what I mean.
But, on researching the problem, I spotted this picture, cunningly edited by me, from LAST year's budgie report. Has been previously used on NB, but worth reproducing I feel at this place. I call it

Lemming 30/40something bloke in sub zero winter dickheads uniform (T-Shirt- shorts - flip flops)...reading shopping list off laptop balanced on trolley TWAT.

Seconded Mr Hack. May I also add the student I saw today, in the midst of a sleet shower, walking down the road wearing cut-off denim shorts, bare legs, very ugly fake converse-y type baseball boots, a cheesecloth vest top and a smug grin.
I hope she's as happy with herself when she's suffering hypothermia.

not so long ago (ok 30-40 years ago) 'the kids' piled the clothes on to excess....hands up anyone who didn't have either a leather jacket, trench coat or crombie
Plucky, it's the 'walk' that gets me - that John Wayne-something-unpleasant-in my pants-swagger . 'sposed to look fretnin'Posted 10 years ago # -
Sauce. You're turning into a teenager. Very monosyllabic today.
Crap week(s) at work: full time (cover), stock take, year end, pig's arse.
Can I also nominate the bint I saw this afternoon who was wearing more slap than my nan ever did and in a weird fake tan bright orange colour? If I'd seen her on TV I'd've adjusted the set. Foundation is hideous at any age but at 19 and bright orange?
