What about the door handles, seats, flush, that you have all touched then, even before reaching the sink?

Dont forget the handle when you are leaving.

I tend to try go for an awkward part of the handle for that very reason. If it's a long c shaped handle I usually grab a top corner. The further part away from the bit most people automatically grab.

There's things you can't avoid and things you can't. The more that can be done to avoid touching other people's filth the better. Put it this way, in what way is not having to touch something that other people have touched with their bodily fluids making your life worse

Really little use washing your hands in a public room. far better to use sanitary wipes of your own after... same goes for supermarket trollies .... I hold the sides not the handle.

Current Alcohol sales law.

If I get up to do my weekly shopping on a Sunday morning, I cannot buy alcohol until after the magical time of 12:30 pm.

After that time, i can buy what I want.

Makes no difference to any problem drinker, but major pain in my a***

No i would disagree. im a problem drinker but dont obsess about it. I like doing the shopping on sunday morning so i cant give into temptation and buy a bottle of wine to have later that i wouldnt miss if i didnt have.

So everyone else in the country has to be inconvenienced as a few people cant avoid the alcohol aisle?

Stupid law. Fact.

Stupid law. Fact.

just because it inconveniences a few people, doesnt make it a stupid decision, let alone the stupidest decision.

all forms of regulation involve inconveincing people. tax for social welfare because some people cant work. tax for hospitals because some people get sick. Drink driving laws because some people cant drive when over the limit.

tis not a fact, its an opinion. my opinion is your username and comments are stupid. but thats not a fact, just an opinion.

So, you can buy a pint / double vodka and red bull etc until the early hours of the morning, but cannot buy one bottle of beer in a shop at 10:35 pm simply because the government says?

Alcohol should be on sale for the same time, regardless of WHERE it is being sold. By all means, have restrictions, but have them uniformly applied.

Stupid law. Fact.

it's difficult to avoid, most shops now have it as the last aisle before the tills, in case you 'forgot' to buy some. and for some reason lidl and aldi put it next to the dog food. you don't want the dogs of alcoholics to starve do you?

I find it strange that you can't get why they made this rule, even though i don't like the rule either.

it's done to discourage too much home drinking. kills the pub trade, and no one can see what you're at, cut you off if you get dangerously intoxicated, etc.

now some people will say, 'sure i could buy tonnes of booze before 10:30 and drink as much as i want.'

but eventually you run out and this is to stop people drinking in the house for days on end.

No it's not, for the vast majority of people it's easy to avoid. But again it's punish everyone because a small few have a problem

So you're saying that no pub has ever let someone drink drive ? BTW People who drink at home IMHO are less likely to drink drive on their way home.

MUP is stupid because it only affects generic supermarket brands. Almost all brand names are over the MUP. So it doesn't affect anyone who will pay extra for something that would taste the same if chilled down enough.

In the old days some paperback books were censored while the hardback edition wasn't. Same is true of the poem Midnight Court. The original versions in Irish weren't censored, just the translations.

I'd have no problem if they raised the excise duty instead. It would be fairer, and it would actually raise some revenue instead of lining supermarkets pockets.

I don't know, some of us have enormous gardens with loads of trees, leafs get everywhere this time of year and if not moved, which would ordinarily be done with a rake, can start to mulch on the gardens, and with the kids out playing they get destroyed in it, the leaf blower takes a job that could have taken 2 hours out of your Saturday and makes it take 10 minutes!

Exactly

Had argument with Mrs.....see that over there .....wow look at that .....

I'd rather not love I'm watching where I'm going paying attention to my driving so myself and my family will make it out of here alive ...

She pretty much does everything other than pay attention to driving....going as far as to say one of the kids blurted out one day " mum doesnt put seat belt on us in mornings "

The boxes will be sold for £299 at Power City stores and leading electrical outlets. The next wave of technology to be introduced with Unison will see a facility for consumers to plug in printers and attach DVD video players to the systems.

It was a keyboard and modem in a box. For £100 more you could get a PS2 that could do everything it could do, play games and watch DVD's , and DVD players were a lot more that £100 back then.

So long as you don't run out in the day time??

Anyone with a drink problem won't allow themselves to run out of drink!

This stupid rule only annoys people who either decide last minute to have a scoop at home or forgot to pick it up with the shopping or something like that. Alcos drink on regardless!

It's only reason for existing is to support the pub trade. Same as MUP.

The PS2 didn't get internet access until fairly late in its lifespan, 2003/4 IIRC. Even then it was only for online gaming, not web browsing.

Can't see how it's comparable to this at all really.
