Thread Name: BS: Why so Many Drunk Brits on Facebook
Subject: RE: BS: Why so Many Drunk Brits on Facebook
i am certainly thankfull there was no face book in my drinking younger days. now believe it or not i almost never drink. about a case of beer or wine every ten years.

although my post may look otherwise.

when i was a party boy, well i rather lacked judgement and i am sure i would have posted a lot of ridiculous things. hence i do give the young foolish drunks a pass on this one.and perhaps we all should lighten up about peoples past--most of us have one.its not like having posted a picture of thenselves committing a felony.(opps --it seems some do post pictures of thenselves committing felonies--but that's not the same as drunkeness)

i just wish that when they are in bars where i am performing, they wouldn't flash those electronic flashbulbs so much. i used to be almost blind from flashes in some pubs when singing or playing.

so lets lighten up about collecting other peoples posted pictures of harmless highjinks. as long as they aren't committing a crime people shouldn't hold it against others for decades --as suggested will happen. jeez i worked as miner driller, blaster and a lawyer(to name a few) and there wwas no monopoly on drunkeness in any occupation or class in my experience.

this has got ne thinking maybe i should take up drinking again?
