treating addiction as a illness is just such a logical idea, it almost suggests that at least one brain was used to think it through

treating drug smugglers as a special case where they sell low cost drugs at a "crime based" premium due to GBush has ensured that criminals now have massive sums to spend to
1) buy legal systems
2) buy countries
hence GBush II ensured that the war against drugs was doomed to failure.
Clearly no brain activity there

Now what will Trump decide?

Bilbo, we really need to get together for a few pints.

Jay_G

Pavot - you're very welcome. The less said about Rolf the better...

Once you've worked your way through some Brass Eye, take a look at some "The Day Today" clips, produced by the same team.

Just as funny as Brass Eye, but in the style of a 24 hour news channel. So clever and years ahead of its time.

bilbo and spark - if there's room at the table, I'll join you. One of you can buy the first round and I'll bring the disco biscuits.

bilboburgler

sparkie, you are so right.

Jay where are you based?

sparkchaser

I'm game.

Whathello

I also need glasses
I read it like cock.
Pretty disappointed.
Did I say I ince ordered at a wimpy by 'I would really like to have a big cock'.
The girl behind the counter went mad with laughing. I was 15. Embarrassing.

bilbo - I work in London, but live in Kent.

sparkchaser

As luck would have it, I will be in London July 15-17. I have plans already for the 15th and 17th but as of right now, the 16th is open.

If it is convenient, I propose afternoon shenanigan beers at a pub where I can immerse myself in the culture and meet locals and tourist has ever set foot.

Jay_G

That might just work. I'll have to double check with my events secretary (Mrs. Jay) but at the moment, it's looking feasible.

Afternoon shenanigan beers are the best type of beers.

sparkchaser

I too need to check with my events coordinator but she should be down to clown.

Jay_G

It's potentially on like Donkey Kong.

sparkchaser

Now all we need is to coax bilbo out of his cozy hobbit hole and into The Big City.

Anyhoo, the email address I use for here is toomanyfrastamps at gmail.com

Jay_G

Absolutely!

Nice one, will drop you a line once I know if I'm cleared for take off.

bilboburgler

you can contact me at myname gmail. Do we want to set up a full conference and see if we can get the likes of annhig, jamiekins, flanner, big ross etc together?

Dates may change, subject to contract ;-)

sparkchaser

Sure. I think that would be fun.

sparkchaser

My events coordinator has given me the green light to commence with beer fueled shenanigans Saturday afternoon.

Jay_G

It's looking clear for me at the moment too. Any particular preference as to venue?

sparkchaser

An authentic English pub where one can immerse themselves in the culture and meet locals. Or a place with a decent selection of cask ales and ciders.

Hit me up on email.

Jay_G

I reckon it shouldn't be too tricky to find somewhere central that ticks both boxes.

I'll drop you a line.
