OK I’m seething, I’m mad as hell!

The latest piece of interfering, nanny-state shite proposed by Andy Kerr MSP is to introduce legislation limiting the number of drinks you can buy at a single sitting to four - four for fuck’s sake!

He’s also proposing to raise the legal age for drinking to 21.

Where do we find these fuck-wits? And how do they persuade people to vote for them?

1. This will have NO effect on binge drinking other than pushing the problem into the home. People will simply get pissed before they go out - or is he proposing to stop all off-sales of alcohol?
2. I was getting regularly pissed at 16 so how does changing the age make any difference?
3. How on earth do you enforce this? Do we all have to have a stamp on the back of our hands to indicate each drink we have?
4. You can bet your life that the rule will not apply in posh bars and hotels but only to those poor souls in need of saving from themselves.

We’re obviously not keeping these leeches busy enough.

Apparently he got this idea from the US where it has been implemented in some states. No doubt this will require a trip over the water to “consult” the fucking idiots there about how they implemented this innovative piece of legislation. I can see them queueing up now for the flight.

So if ever there was a reason to vote these twats out in 2007 here it is - PLEASE don’t make the same mistake again by voting for this discredited bunch of morons.

Well, if ever I felt old it was on Friday during a conversation with my work colleagues. We were talking about pubs and I said I remember Cowboy Time…blank looks all round!

Any Scot over the age of 45 will remember when the pubs closed at 10pm and 10 to 10 was “Cowboy Time” - everyone raced to the bar to get a last round in.

Think about it…10 t’10, 10 t’10, 10 t’10 10 10… got it?

Anyway, when I thought about it the law was changed in about 1975 - over 30 years ago and most of my colleagues weren’t even born then!

Talk about feeling geriatric - I suddenly realised that I was old enough to be father to any one of them and grandfather to a lot of them!

Still, they say the older the fiddle the better the tune.
