    Ho Ho Ho.

    So Old Peculier has no chance.

    btw, a butt is a 3-barrel capacity cask, a firkin is a 1/4 barrel capacity. Not rude at all. :naughty:

    so does that mean when someone says look at that firkin butt they mean a barrel that has a 3 and 1/4 barrel capacity ?

    or do they just have a speech impediment :)

    Well the car was a bit gay, he was pointing out that if you did not want to be interpreted as a homosexual then you should not buy that car.

    You Brits have a strange definition of racism...not that we're far behind.

    Beer is illegal for those under 21. Any alcohol consumption is banned..why go after this?

    Those who would be encouraged to buy a drink because it had santa on it would probably be in the 3-7 age group. Not exactly hard to spot them buying beer :rolleyes:

    Crazy drinking laws :hehe:

    Trust me as an experienced youth worker Santa being on a beer is going to make it more appealing to kids, alcohol itself is what kids want regardless of the packaging.

    Heh, you say that like it stops people...

    After seeing the pic, I can see why it would be offensive (in the way that 'smoking a ***' would have a VERY different meaning in the states), but it certainly won't do anything with regards to underage drinking.

    That one about Clarkson is ridiculous.

    Dale Winton, John Inman etc; have all made a career out of being gay, theres a TV series called 'queer eye for the straight guy', but calling a car 'gay' is out of order.

    They can't have it both ways
