Years ago I was working in a school where one of the teachers was a recovering alcoholic. He put the case forward that booze should not be served at the school fete and that booze should not be a prize in the tombola, ring a bottle stall etc. We all of course thought he was aa anal retard and should get over himself (sorry). But I have been thinking of him recently and I think he is right. It's not like a school would give away packets of fags as a prize is it.

This is a very interesting comment and one that I've never pondered before. Thank you for bringing it up as next week we are going to start arranging the school summer fair and we had intended on having a beer tent, maybe I'll think about it before I say, yeah lets go ahead??

This is going to be a bit profound but I had a strange revelation in a dream last night; someone said to me "Why do you drink? You're amazing"

Did I lock the door when I left? :cool:

Well yes but only when it first came out - too long ago apparently!

Apologies (not ) for what now follows:

Renault and Ford are working on a new small car for women. They are combining the Renault Clio and the Ford Taurus, and calling it the "Clitaurus." It comes in pink and the average male thief won't be able to find it, even if someone tells him where it is.

The Ewoks are sentient furred bipeds native to the moon of Endor. They are curious individuals that stand about one meter tall. Although extremely skilled in forest survival and the construction of primitive technology like gliders and catapults, the Ewoks have yet to progress past stone-level technology. They are quick learners, however, when exposed to advanced technology with simple mechanical processes and concepts.

Most Ewoks live high among the trees of Endor's forests, in villages built between the closely spaced trees. Ewoks venture to the forest floor to hunt, and set traps to catch various prey.
For the forest dwellers, the surrounding giant trees play an important cultural role. These hunter-gatherers are a deeply spiritual people. They believe themselves to be descendants of the Great Tree, a sacred tree in the forests.
The tribal structure of the Ewoks has a Council of Elders ruling over them, and the Council is headed by the Chief. A medicine man also lives in the Ewok village, a keeper of mystical lore, and a healer to the injured.
When the Empire began operations on the moon of Endor, they dismissed the primitive species as harmless. Imperial operations were situated around the area near the Ewok village led by Chief Chirpa. Princess Leia Organa, part of a Rebel strike team, befriended the Ewok Wicket W. Warrick, a scout from said village. These Ewoks also erroneously worshipped the protocol droid C-3PO, thinking he was their god. Threepio told the Council of Elders the adventures of the Rebel heroes Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo. The Ewoks accepted the Rebels into their tribe, and allied themselves to their cause. The Ewoks helped in the ground battle to destroy the Imperial shield generator on the forest floor, and their primitive weapons felled the stormtroopers and the scout walkers of the Empire. This assist paved the way to victory at the Battle of Endor. Later that night, the Ewoks held a huge celebration that could be heard throughout the forest.
