damian 0 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Funny I should read this today today. I went to a friends place for dinner after work on Friday night and now, 2pm Sunday afternoon, I manage to get home. Friday night was a big intentional piss up but the recovery lunch beer on Saturday was not supposed to lead to 14 hours of drinking in the bars around Mary The Bone. My god I feel like crap today. On both nights our drinking was unfairly curbed by bars shutting so early. One thing I have noticed here is how much people love getting trashed here. There is a pub on every corner to facilitate the community's desire to get pissed with as little effort as possible. If you don't want to drink then drugs are literally handed to you at prices so low that everyone is popping pills. It is a serious problem that you can buy an e for 2 pounds!! You can't even buy a friggin beer for that. It is out of control. Link to post Share on other sites
