I feel like I shouldn't really answer anything in this reply.. Multiple times I've asked questions, asked for opinions, or asked for info in this thread, and every time it's just sidestepped with more rhetoric like this nonsense. For example how many times do we have to post the actual evidence that drinking costs the UK more money, and causes more health issues (not deaths though, to be clear, slightly less deaths.) before you stop making ridiculous comments like "Obviously smoking is much worse in all the categories you listed" when the facts simply prove otherwise. Smoking is also less addictive. Have you any experience of an alcoholic attempting to quit? Seen the serious physical side effects that coming off alcohol causes? Aware that 'just stopping' can actually be life threatening to a heavily alcohol dependant person? How is that less worse than getting agitated, twitchy, grumpy and maybe a bit of weight gain? Those that fail to see the similarities are the ones that look silly here. I can only assume it's a case of "that's ok, because I enjoy that myself!" Absolute hypocrisy, as was pointed out from the very beginning. So no, I will not drop it. How about you admit your hypocrisy? 😉 I'm not trying to 'justify' anything, smokers don't need me to justify their actions, they're fully grown adults (mostly) who can do what the hell they like with their own bodies. Neither they, or I, have to justify their actions to you, who do you think you are? I'm simply pointing out that if there's a case for completely banning cigarettes, then the same applies to alcohol. I dunno, maybe just start raising the drinking age every year, as they won't miss it then. 😉 (See how long you can buy it for, at reasonable prices and convenient locations, when the customer base starts to dwindle.) Last thing I'm going to say on the matter is this... We do not elect governments to control what we do with our own bodies... Prohibition does not work, whatsoever, under any circumstances. -

Missed this one earlier this week. If they sell them both out, that's 12,000 tickets in an old industrial town, which isn't too bad. -

It's fascinating, because fundamentally, it is a fairly straight bat off Seventeen Going Under. The woah-ohs are now woo-oohs and lower in the mix, there's a flash of The War on Drugs-esque guitar chime to let you know it was cut in LA and that's about it until you get to the bridge. But that bridge does actually slap. The strings are a grand old touch. I know plenty of people will turn their nose up at him, but Fender clearly understands anthems, no matter the lyrical content, can transcend any widescreen cheesiness on record when bellowed back by a stadium. (I am a fan, and I think some of his material is cracking, but I'm not going to pretend it doesn't veer into kitsch, much like Springsteen can on occasion.) -
