Reminds me of the Texan bragging to some Brits that 'I can get in my car and drive for an hour and still be on my own land' to which a Brit replied, 'Yeh!, I used to have a car like that too.' True story. Sorry, couldn't resist. Kinda chuffed that I can get a response from this list really and personally I don't give a stuff. Have already left work for a long weekend kicking off with a night at Checkpoint Charlie (deep-dark-n-dirty, music or clientel description, you decide) in Reading later tonight to fritter away my Xmas bonus. So by 3am I'll be in one hell of a state and am already off to a great start 8) Fair comment PJ. I agree that the licensing laws in this country suck. Nothing more than an annoying leftover from the National/Homeland? Security bill durng WW2 but then again drink really ain't my thing. That's why Brits just love getting out of this country as often as possible. You should see the amount of You-can-have-a-much-better-life-in-any-other-country' programs on the box here at the moment. As for talking more Orb, I'm sorry but this sort of stuff is far more interesting than anything Orb has done in the past few months. Just holding out for those live dates next year and BTW, anyone else planning on being Wedgewooded on Jan 24? Can anyone recommend good, cheap and smoke friendly accomodation in-da-area?
