I'm going to rant.
When will the thought police and pc brigade leave us alone? Not satisfied with having closed thousands of pubs because of ridiculous prices and given half the nation pneumonia by banishing smokers to the street they now come up with THIS
For goodness' sake keep your noses out of the privacy of our homes. You're quite content to earn taxes from cheap booze which means our streets are full of under age yobs stoned out of their brains, now you want to tell us how much we adults should put in the glass in our own homes.
I thought this was a country of choice and freedom. Sensible people don't get blethered at home, they know when to stop, or should. I don't want a measuring cup with my drink thank you. What next, compulsory optic measures to be installed in all new homes where spirits may be drunk by the new owners? Breathalysers for stair lift users? MOTs for zimmer frames? Should we ban everything and put these mentally challenged freaks out of a job?
My resolution for 2010 is to verbally jump on these politically correct idiots at every opportunity.
Now, I'll have a large one please. Happy New Year.

Our local Pubs' are disappearing at a rate of knots. There's nothing more depressing than to see another one with all the windows boarded up.
Diverting this topic just a little, I met a nice chap on the train yesterday who sat opposite me and I had to manipulate myself around on my seat to accommodate him as he had a false leg. He had to tell me this so that I didn't get the impression that he was playing 'footsie' with me under the table. As you do, we fell into conversation and he was telling me that he'd been to visit his newly married son and his wife for the New Year but has finally decided that Pubs' are no longer venues that he can consider. His main problem was making his way to the loo from a crowded bar, as well as struggling outside for a cigarette when he wanted one. I tried to solve the urine problem for him by suggesting that he could wear a condom catheter and just fill up his false leg as the night went on. He was really keen on this one, but when he showed me his false leg it was obvious that it wouldn't work for very long. it was one of those new-fangled stainless steel stick type things, but he thanked me for my suggestion and said he would take it up with his orthopoedic chap when he next saw him.
I also suggested that it would be a good idea to get one of those pink plastic type legs with a huge hollow inside, because he could then use it for last orders (for those who don't know, Last Orders means when the bell rings to tell you to order your last drink). Of course, I recommended that he don't use the leg for both of my suggestions at the same time.
I try to help whenever I can

Let's ban everything??? On a recent flight from the UK we landed at Bangkok … much to my wife's relief, I refused to comply.

False legs can be useful. My father used to keep his money in his and it was useful for warding off nasty terriers. I don't recall him peeing in it though.

Lucie, my goodness do you always when travelling on trains seat yourself next to a man and start discussing the most intimate part of his body.
I blush for you.
Just you wait until Michael wakes up -you wont be his little flower any more.

Sounds nice and I bet you talked the “Hind legs off a donkey”
Wish I had been the Fly on the wall listening to you.

This is quite normal behaviour for Lucy.

Doreen, I was being a caring, kind and considerate person. I did not discuss the man's private bits with him- I just assumed that he had some and I merely pointed out that there might be a better way of coping with life under his difficult circumstances. He seemed very happy with my observations (and experience in such matters) and I am sure that I have given him plenty to think about in 2010. We parted on very good terms, although I did not give him my 'phone number. I know when to give advice, but I also know when giving help and advice could cross over the line into far too personal intercourse. If Michael is shocked that I know how bodies function, then I'm afraid that he must remain shocked. I feel that I have a role in life which is to hack away at all those nonsensical barriers that have been erected to stifle debate. I will also point out that I charge nothing for my advice.
