I keep seeing the word "illiberal" used to describe plain packs and minimum pricing. I don't know, but does the general public even understand that word?  If they do, then do they care?

In other news, Australia is voting out their current illiberal, evil fucking government.  Let's hope this is end of that hideous slag Roxon, now serving as the AG.  If there was any real justice, they'd arrest her from crimes against the Aussie population.

Didn't they get humiliatingly tanked in QL! I did enjoy reading that.

Aussies still have just under two years of being ruled by idiocy before the fed elections, though. I pity them.

I'm sorry, I'd like to appear as a politically active and savvy individual, but was I the only one kicking himself for not thinking of contacting an 'attractive adult entertainer' to accompany me to a prom? (OK so we didn't have proms in my day, but the end of school disco would have worked just as well wouldn't it?)

Why is it that as I get older the more things I realise I know how to do better now but am now to old to do at all :-(

Like they say 'youth is wasted on the young'!

True, Alec. It was a superb idea, no doubt. He now has a porn star of his own age as a friend, she has got herself a whole load of publicity, and he is now awesome amongst his friends with the added bonus of something to tell his grandkids about (when they're of age of course). ;)

Interesting reading.  Just had to leave a comment on the Fairy Tale from the World Health Organisation, is not in the least politically correct, but it gave me some satisfaction!  Also, on the Minimum Alcohol Pricing; illogical, illiberal, unfair.
