bye one beer and get three free
 

ok so the joe can not offer you this deal < but i am sure its on the way to keep everyone drinking lol.

i can not understand why so many clubs, pubs, shops that sell booze are all allowed to open so close togther < oh yer i can understand < its all about money.


i agree with the humphree

what is happening with society,
humphree has hit the nail,
its all about shame,
and on a mass scale.
the drink and drug sellers are laughing,
deals are there to entice,
when these substances are as cheap as water,
sales and profit are better then nice.
every town centre is the same,
dignity has been forgotten,
and when lady's are semi naked and barely conscious,
its proof this strategy is rotten.
the damage done by drink and booze,
the joe dose believe its part of the break down in society,
do i expect a crack down in sales,
10 fold increase will now be the new variety.
we have the solution,
licence's, sales, madness, they all link,
and now i have spelt it out,
i just hope my poem makes everyone just think.

I always feel that petrol stations which sell booze are an amazing/wierd combination. Driving and alcohol are the 2 things I'd never have imagined would be partnered together.

Those that indulge to excess - are just mugs being used and abused by the profiteers - a businessman's dream! :joker:

Licensing Laws have changed. Is it a lots to do with it?

But we can not keep blaming everything for everything else.
But I do not know the answer.

I worked in a petrol station for 2 years, after a while you can tell whos coming in pissed and whos a drink driver ots scary actually.

In Scotland, the thing is that driver would probably have a bottle of Vodi with his £20 worth of petrol and 20 Regal Kingsize. Were you never tempted to hit the phone to the police and report the registration number????

I still can't understand petrol stations given a liquor licence - licence to kill IMHO

My silly story Iceman involving petrol stations is Germany - Duesseldorf.

We were staying at a 5* hotel with the Claymores (team in American Football) because a German pal knew the events manager and got us a 75% discount for the room. The fans coudn't really afford to drink @ hotel prices or mini-bar but there was a 24 hour Shell garage across the road where you could buy anything 24 hours even when the posh bar was shut even.

We'd roll in about 4am taking the 3 taxis to Shell garage for 'last Duess beer'.

On last morning, a friend were taking us to airport for 10am flight. As I had too much Euros left I went to petrol station @ 7am to buy the beer only available in Duess to take home to Scotland.

At 7am while I there a cyclist comes in obviously pissed out of his head, orders 12 bottles of pils, opens one just otside kiosk and drinks it down. When I finished shopping I watched him cycle up the autobahn, get 150m and fall down unconcious off the bike and crack his head open........maybe dead - I almost missed the flight as road got closed for investigation

Garages and alcohol do not mix even on cycle.

It is terible story.


Hi Joe, hi everyone.
It was beautiful today. I am sure we can enjoy a pint, a day like that but with moderate manner.

Yes, "What happened to our sense of shame?" indeed.

sooty staggers over to the joe and goes to gives him a pint but falls over and sleeps off the rest of the booze. the local cousil slap a asbo on sooty lol

He he I can not drink beer. I never liked the taste.

(I can drink whisky vodka wine any alcohol except beer. It is really odd honestly. I do drink once a week half glass of wine, that it, quite boring.
My favourite drink is Bailey.)

Do not drink too much yourself and watch out local council, Joe:bigsmile:

i will raise a glass to the sooty words and i agree x

Yup sootster it's a terrible event. I did the correct thing which was to sprint into the hotel and get reception to call the police/ambulance.

I'm very squeamish about blood/serious injury things so I have to admit I then disappeared back to our room (was also nervous about being cited as a witness to the serious accident given that my flight was due)

You were lucky this was a clear drink related accident otherwise you could be mistaken as a prime suspect and never mind missing your flight, you could have ended up in a cell.

The first person in the crime scone is often THE one. - I like detective stories like Colombo, Agathe Cristie's series, Murder She Wrote - anything those kind,,,.:bigsmile:

Are you suggesting I might be a serial pisshead killer now sootster :hugesmile:

I'm nice and not that way inclined - honest!

Oh yes sooty - I am also a fan of detective/crime dramas - through from the slower paced ones like Agatha Cristie and Midsomer Murders through to the more fast paced ones like CSI, Law & Order etc! Love them!
