It's the weekend...

Well, I've finished reading the 72nd best book in the world. I enjoyed it. Not sure why though, it's about an awkward, socially inept character who's good at maths. Hmmm.

Anyway, Easter is upon us. 4 days off work but some strange licensing laws over here are trying to dictate it to be a dry weekend. On Friday and Sunday Pubs/clubs are shut and NOWHERE sells alcohol apparently. Which also means everywhere shuts at midnight on Thursday and Saturday.

Disgrace.

I think the kid should have been locked in a box and told to write pi out tot he last decimal place. Would have made a much more interesting book. Give me the BFG any day of the week.

The Owen Gartside I know wouldn't spend his Easter weekend reading books in a country where no alcohol is available.

I've been contributing to the website of an impostor.

This alcohol ban is truly the most inhumane thing I have ever heard. Four days off work and you can't do the imaginative and just get drunk. What the hell is a man supposed to do? And don't say read books. I thought our hosepipe bans were a breach of civil liberties but this beggars belief. However, I have no sympathy for you Gartside - this is just another example of your poor planning coming back to haunt you. Why not flee this tyranny and head to Saudi Arabi for a weekend of boozing....?

I am horrified beyond belief.

Re Easter booze shortage, it could be worse - you could live in a country with free-and-easy licensing laws but citizens who blatantly don't make the most of them. I've just been sat in a 'bar' for two and a half hours with four Frenchies. In all that time, three of them only managed to polish off half a shandy. And black. I didn't even know half a shandy and black was a drink! Kind of the opposite of snakebite...

Boz, I knew you couldn't stay out of the hotseat for much longer. You're just like Big Ron. Make sure the microphones are switched off though.
