Because they are guilt ridden alcoholics in denial about the severity of their addiction and need someone, anyone, even if it is a stranger on a local forum they have never met to okay it for them to start their daily drinkathon.

May be an element of truth, though people I know who say things like that are more likely to see drinking as a social ritual. I was just wondering why you don't hear smokers say anything like that, or fat people ask if they're allowed a cake yet (lying in bed with a bag of Tyrrell's as we speak).

I had a nice cup of Earl Grey in the end

Golly, and there was me thinking it was a bit of meaningless persiflage to while away the afternoon!

I wasn't being totally serious.

Well you need to be careful Jah, we guilt-ridden alcoholics can often take things the wrong way!


(P.S. I know you weren't!)

Excuse my ignorance but where did you learn the word persiflage from and how often do you use it? I?ve never heard of it which is no great surprise as I communicate by re-arranging the (about) 25 words I do know. I?ve looked it up though as I'm keen to be educated, though I suspect I won?t be saying ?persiflage? very often.

    • The Beeb gave Farage and the like too much air time during the run up to the vote but we all know that.  Johnson swung it I expect. 
    • Seems a bit off.  If two countries have a majority of dumbos why do we get to offload ours? Instead of us taking in theirs  The corporation reports the whole thing as a soap opera with characters. Instead of reporting the actuality.    bbc is as culpable as anyone in this whole shitshow 
    • So to enable people to experience 3 days of 'joy', our family has to endure two weeks of 7 days a week, 12 hours a day construction noise around 50m from our front window. That's HGVs driving up & down the road, constant reversing beeps from fork lifts & tractors, scaffolding poles crashing, pneumatic wrenches rattling, shouting etc etc. from 8am to 8pm. Every day. Even Sundays. Do you have all that near your house? Then there's the anti social behaviour during the festival, right outside our home - minicabs arriving, punters jumping out, chucking bottles and cans on the floor, having a quick p*ss against the wall, then off to the festival to have their 'joy'. Again & again, all afternoon & evening. For the whole bank holiday weekend. Guys having nitrous oxide parties in their cars, right outside our home at midnight, 1am.  Do you have all that near your house?  And then there's the strike afterwards, more construction noise for another week - 8am to 8pm, every day - then they disappear, leaving the park covered in fag butts, bottle tops, ring pulls, cable ties, cellophane filter tip tubes, disposable vapes, all usually trampled into the ground so that they are virtually impossible to remove. And then several months for the grass to almost recover enough for people to use again, except by then the summer is long gone.  Do you really think a "chill pill" is going to miraculously resolve all this? Please, have some empathy for people who are really impacted by this event. I've nothing against festivals, but they need to be located in a suitable space, and a small public park close to residential homes isn't it.
    • Does anyone have a paper shredder they no longer need? I gave mine away thinking I could use the soaking method, but then found it isn't suitable for large quantities of paper, for various reasons. The Library of Things is supposed to have one for hire, but it's been "coming soon" for weeks.
