Ok, girls, whose got the snout? (also alluding to pigs which the girls become as the night progresses, but in contrast to what they call the police, "Pigs")
We're out for the night (eventually unconscious too )
To put it about (STD's)
Full of cheap booze (they're not into good wines)
Free-loaded and ready (A term meaning buying supermarket cheap alcohol and getting as much inside them before leaving home)
We've nothing to lose (No longer virgins)
Get to excess as fast as we can (they are products of modern consumeristic society)
We've all got a date with the enamel pan. (On their knees being sick into toilet bowls which usually have the company's stamp and date of manufacture at the bottom of the bowl)

With our bags full of zips (They've bought handbags [purses in the USA] that are full of many pockets in which to stash weed etc.)
To hide hooch and weed
Keep to the shadows (staying out of the light)
To hide what we need (the bouncers can see if customers are on drugs by looking into their eyes)
from those door-girls who pry
Finding drugs, drink and speed.

Head for the 'Cheap-Hour'
Our 'First drink is Free' (Clubs offer these inducements and cause excessive drinking)
We'll outnumber the guys (Men have to pay to get into the clubs, girls get in for free and are attracted to the free drinks offers. This means that the men carry on drinking cheaper beer in pubs before going on to clubs where drink can sometimes be dearer, but not necessarily)
Who'll be legless by 3. (The men will take several hours to get plastered, whereas the girls get p*ssed as fast as they can)

Get to the queue
Present my I.D.
Open my bag
Get the weed through with me (Hopefully)
Pay the cashier (Cilla Black's job in The Cavern)
Head for the bar
Get hammered real quick (Drunk, injured, or be a victim when very drunk later)
Jar after jar. (Jar is a pint of alcohol, and "jar" is a reference to talking a lot, especially when p*ssed)

The guys are real wusses who pace themselves (The men want to make the night last longer, but the girls want instant gratification)
Unable to match the greed of the girls (More of this attitude to drink, and friendship later)
Club's open till 3
But we'll be long gone
Swaying and dropping (girls will form a congar line when drunk and their friends who can't stand up get left behind)
friends one by one
The boys stick together
But we don't care
Any girlfriend who falls
We'll leave her there. (So much for girl 'friend' British irony here)

The door-staff and coppers
Don't know what to grab (Anyone who touches one of these drunken wenches in the 'wrong' place, will end up in court for sexually molesting her)
When they want to detain us
We're not like the lads (The girls are far more devious and crafty, even when drunk)
Just try to restrain us
And you'll pay the price
Blokes are so easy (Girls know how to fool drunken blokes, which is why I used dad's Little Princess later)
We ain't nice.
They'll throw a punch
We'll hurl a glass (Girls will always grab anything to throw or stab someone. They don't throw punches, but if nothing else is to hand they pull hair and use it like a weapon to spin their victim around)
Whatevers to hand
We won't let it pass (anything to use as that weapon will be used regardless)
Dad's “Little Princess”
Some fella's wife
Don't ever cross us
We ain't nice.

So thats what a night out is all about!

I think i'll stay at home!

Several TV stations now broadcast Real Police, Road Wars, type programmes.
Video clips from towns and cities all over the UK show the behaviour now prevalent when the nights are late and the booze is working.
I must point out that the UK has the highest number of CCTV cameras per capita than any other country in the world. Even more than North Korea.The camera operators are in constant touch with the police and help the police in guiding them to incidents. The videos they record are often used as evidence in court at later dates. It's impossible to talk yourself out of an assault charge when you are seen in all your finery attacking someone in the street, under street lights, in full view of a CCTV camera. Once the defence see the evidence, court time is not wasted. Guilty pleas follow.
What is obvious from the TV footage is the behaviour of the girls who the lady door-man described and the utter disregard for self-respect. Most people have gone through a period in their lives when drink played a big part in their enjoyment of their lives. The problem on the streets now is the shear volume of alcohol that is thrown down girls' throats and the speed at which it's done. Binge drinking has become a real problem. Hospital Emergency Rooms are full of young people with alcohol related problems. Doctors are talking of a generation of people who will die before their parents from alcohol related illnesses such as liver failure, heart attacks/disease, organ failure, diabetes, obesity, brain damage, and much more. These young people will be dead by the time they are 50 according to senior medical experts.
Cheap booze and a culture of binge drinking, allied with drug abuse, is harming so many young people.
Given the peer pressure, commercial pressure, educational pressure and everything else that young people have to cope with these days, I'm glad I'm not one of them. Instant gratification is now a normal factor of our modern society and getting what they want, when they want it, is what passes as totally acceptable in our society.
Watching the young drunks on the CCTV footage must be what it was like when London had its Gin Palaces. Life was so bad that people lost themselves in Gin to escape the reality of their situation. Gin was very, very cheap. Much as alcohol is now.
Writing this piece has made me so miserable I'll have to go and have a glass of 20 year old double malt.

.. (hmm.. what's so wrong about being a purple princess, anyway??).. (just wondering to myself, actually)..

Nothing at all my dear, purple princesses rule! in fact I’m hoping to attend a palace party next month with many other purple and pink princesses.
it’s just that it’s that the lack of cats and witches on Halloween night is a bit concerning – last year all of the girls in my sons class party were princesses except for one kitty who I’m sure was cursing her parents, but do they really want to be princesses or do they just think they should be princesses.

Try a Cragganmore 1984 double matured.(Excellent)

That's horrible - it's very frightening.

but do they really want to be princesses or do they just think they should be princesses.

Or is it that they feel safer being the same as everyone else?
Feeling as part of a crowd is an important aspect of humanity, but it is so sad - if and when it squashes individuality too much.
It's a tricky one.

.. it never occurred to me that I shouldn't want to be a princess.. now I have to re-think everything..

WARNING!

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickles for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

by Jenny Joseph



Mmmm.

Have a look at this video. Let it buffer for a while before watching her. She does it justice and the ending comments are worthy of us all....

'Tis! But I have to be honest here.. 'tis also just a dream at the moment. Right now I guess that a Superdream will just have to do instead.

My current leathers don't fit me anymore

[Alsiony]

My current leathers don't fit me anymore

This thread is turning into a different tale of troubles it seems!
I shall now raise my glass to the plight of all those who own useless leathers...what a tragedy!
It is almost as sore a feeling as the poor humble Crane Fly, who would eat if only he had a mouth that actually functioned

(Ok -maybe Crane Flies are worse off then )
