In most towns in Wales, if you plan on going out and having a few drinks, you should take plenty of friends with you. You will be grateful for the safety in numbers when the fighting starts.

I just don't understand why some people seem to think that a night out is incomplete unless they've kicked the crap out of someone who only said "Hi". Some of these people don't even bother with a real or imagined slight before resorting to fisticuffs.

You would have thought that it would be safe to go out drinking in my village on a Friday or Saturday night because all the clubbers are having fights down in Newport, which is presumably why they are called clubbers. However, we are plagued by 14 year old girls who are out to get drunk and seduce somebody. And the bar staff always pretend that they belived these children to be over 18 because that way, they can take money off them.

The only bar that is reasonably free of these children is prohibitively expensive because tourists tend to assume that an expensive bar and hotel must therefore be good quality.

i REALLY cant stand people who buy alcohol for random kids ho are hanging abotu out side the offlicense! the kids MUST BE UNDERAGE or they'd have broguht it themselves! DURGH! its just stupid, and ignorant if youask me (dotn worry im aware you didnt)

As for alcoholism....i really get pissed off with people who come to work hungover alot - and use it all day as an excuse to get out of doign the less nice jobs. that bugs me- they KNOW they have work/school the next day, so WHY get that pissed up! its not like they dont have any days off in a week, or in our case any holidays to get ratted in like the rest of us!

Well as long as it isn't your pupils who are irritating you by hanging around the off-license and asking you to buy booze for them and then turning up the next day hungover.

I'm not terribly symathetic when people complain about being hungover. After all, there is a miracle cure for hangovers, specifically not drinking as much the previous night.

Jesus AT, you should be a doctor - that actually worked. I'm cured!!!!

I'm going for a beer to celebrate.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

ill drink to that!

As long as it's a pint of scotch, so will I.

If you accept a hangover the next day as part of being drunk and you're not going to be a burden on me, that's fine, but people who can't work out the connection between the cause and effect make me go and sharpen my axe...

peopel who know you have somethign important to do that day, and who turn up with a bottle of water and think its funny that they cant do anything when everyones result is tied into the groups level of performance PISSES ME OFF!
