A spokesman for Wetherspoons Pubs today asked the Government to rethink stricter PIP rules which they believe unfairly disadvantages their regular clients.


Inviting Wes Streeting to visit his local Wetherspoons, the Spokesman say he will meet drinkers or lager enthusiasts as we like to call them that that rely on PIP to keep their hydration levels up. Drinking from 11am to 7pm doesn’t come cheap and if you add in a quick Chicken Tikka, costs soon mount up.


Giving an example, he said, Big Dave (not his real name), is only slowly recovering from being triggered when a so called friend suggested that Dave could apply for a job at his local Tesco.


Despite being fully aware of Dave’s deep seated phobia of work, the friend went onto list the shifts available, some starting from as early as 10am, Dave is only now after intensive counselling starting to feel confident enough to leave the safety of his favourite booth.


What rubs salt into the wound says Wetherspoons is that all our drinkers feel betrayed, they all Voted Reform only to be stabbed in the back by Labour.

Team Britain is doing well so far in this year's Alcoholympics, popularly known as the Paralytic Games, where competitors have to be completely shit-faced but are usually fully able-bodied otherwise. Events include not only indoor games like darts, dominoes, quoits, pool, snooker, billiards, shove-ha'penny and skittles, as well as less athletic games like crib, poker, phat (for those from the Welsh Marches) and tens (for refugees from South wales) but also more fiercely competitive outdoor games out in the car park.


These slightly more aggressive games include oiyouspilledmypint, ourfootyteamisbetterthanyourfootyteam, and perhaps the most combative car-park game of all, areyoulookinatmybird, with its accompanying comeonthenifyouthinkyourehardenough variant. Major sponsors include Fullers, Greene King and Wetherspoons.


However the Paralytic Games are only just recovering for a major scandal of a few years ago when, amid much controversy, the Swiss team was banned following a drugs test in which the whole team were found to be completely free of any mind-altering substances whatsoever, not even alcohol. 'This was an outrage' complained one unsteadily-swaying British competitor 'The sneaky bastards were trying to gain a completely unfair advantage over the rest of the world's decent, respectable piss-heads'.
