I don't. I can also persuade anyone (including the police) I've had nothing to drink when I'm several times over the legal limit.

Weak brain. The friends I had more susceptible to alcohol were the thick ones.

Illogical, it's all ethanol.

But the Irish are always like that.

I honestly never thought about this problem before you mentioned it. You had better inform some important physicists.

It most likely is. Black market dealers are a lot brighter than the law. I know a local drug dealer who outsmarted the police in court. She got let off with "not proven". She makes a living selling "street Valium".

Yip, that's for plastic bags, not people.

The hair isn't needed, neither are clothes. People are obsessed with being warm. They get all upset if they shiver, but for some reason are ok pouring with sweat (which is far worse as you can quickly dehydrate).

>> >> I've done running races in summer where stupid folk (everyone else in the race) had a tshirt on. I didn't. They were pouring with sweat and I was comfortable, and overtook loads of them. Several said, "that's a good idea" - they hadn't thought of it!

Indeed, hair is a nuisance. Cyclists aswell, as it gets into wounds when they fall off.
