Warning Of Armageddon

[Rinrada]

November the 24th is almost with us and the cry of the "Third day before Armageddon" has been sounded.

Even more the thought has been uttered that the time may be near when we must slip the bonds of the four men of the Apploclypse and let loose the Dogs of War....

I reconed it was something to do with the government talking about its plans to start a new Nuclear Power station building programme etc...or similar but No....

its all to do with the UK boozers intention of opening for 24 hours a day 7 days a week....new 24...hic...7 ...in 3 days time.

When it all comes down to the old nitty gritti it seems that only about 175 out of a total of 200,000 gin joints over "ere actually got the license for what Pattaya was offering 25 years ago but....its hyped up like a revolution.

Approx 80,000 can now open till the wee hours....

The origional restrictions were put in place by Lloyd George in 1915 to stop the workers getting pizzed and mucking up the war effort (how dare they...commie peasants)

so 80 years later reforms are in place....but talk about Charles Darwin "Origin of the Species"...all good fun.

Anyway on a LOS type of scenario ..this Thursay all the boozers in England & Wales will have to chuck out all their punters at 11-20pm ..normal closing time but if they got the extention they can let them back in at midnight when the new law comes into operation....Bear in mind it freezing cold at the moment and even 40 mins hanging around out there will prove.... ...ouch....

Anyway Hope LOS dosnt have to wait another 80 years before getting back to NORMAL.... ....Cheers....

And i thought it was due to large Americans exploding after eating too much Thanksgiving turkey!! How stupid to have to stand in the freezing cold for 40 mins, but at least it will sober them up a bit and maybe send a few home...

It has been suggested that they can always go for a quick "ruby"before nipping back to the boozer to continue their extended/all night boozing sessions.

All Indian restaurants in London have been put on alert and its been reported that there has been a run on wholesellers flogging Basmati,Vindi-Loo,Korma sauces,pompa-doms and rolls of toilet paper.

A spokesman for the Angrit Tourist board said that this is all part of the big plan to encourage visitors to come and experience "reel" English late night culture.

Meanwhile train drivers and airline workers are considering going on strike over the festive season............

This great event will probably be a bust, people who do not turn up for work in the morning are not going to keep their jobs.

A tremendous number of local/suburban pubs in the UK are closing down due to poor business, the whole night life entertainment scene in the UK has changed over the last 2 or 3 decades

You are seeing big companys running downtown entertainment venues and the local suburban pub unable to compete.

and after all the huffing and puffing and Warnings of DOOM what happened...............NUTHING....like a virgin wimper ..common sense prevailed.

Went into a local boozer the other night to check out on the mayhem,the lash,and expected visions of Sodom and Gommorrah.and what.....nope....couple of punters reminis.about a long forgotten politician and the ways of the world...then they went home at about 12-15am...

Only about 6 others in the joint so called it a night.

Spoke to another manager the other night and sure enough his comment was.. good idea to have the extended hours if we need them but this lot needs to go to work in the morning.......sums it up......and it took 80 years to change.....

Amazing what happens when politicians actually think for once.
