Time, Gentlemen, Please


Fancy a pint? Be prepared to drink it out of a cheap plastic beaker rather than a proper glass. Thoughtpolice in Bournemouth, Reading, Newport, Northampton, Fareham, Ilford and Daventry (with at least another thirty towns and cities to follow) are pushing to have glasses banned from pubs on the grounds of "safety."

Quite right. Can't have nasty, potentially sharp things in the hands of proles and Outer Party members the people.

They might get ideas.

    Conundrum! How are they supposed to save the environment when they force the "plebes" to use Gaia-unfriendly plastic?

    They should replace them with shatter-proof (and much more manly) metal steins. Everyone can wave them around and shout things.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
