Did we cover this from Jezza?

[shaunbhoy]

I for one am glad to be able to use the excuse of a child in order to avoid 'drinks' with the twats I have to work with.

So I'm guessing Jezza has lost your vote now then MP?

[vetran]

Choosing not to drink, or even not drinking for medical reasons, is different to avoiding any contact with alcohol for religious reasons.

why?

is it more or less valid if you do it to please the sky fairy?



As usual the twonk was trying make a point & screwed it up

In terms of discrimination, yes.

[vetran]

In terms of discrimination, yes.

not drinking for medical reasons trumps religion which is a choice IMO.

but of course some scholars suggest its not religious for some religions. As are many of the other nasties.

In your opinion because you don't like religion.

There are Christians who don't drink e.g. Salvation Army, Quakers, Methodists,. Seventh Day Adventists. This country has lots of things from parks to schools and most importantly chocolate because of them.

Can we also refer to Theresa May as Tezza now or has the standard of the English language got so bad that everyone is now Jezza, Gazza, Bazza, Tozza, Lezza, etzzetera.?

He couldn't even pull a decent minger...

Nope.

She is "Mother Theresa".

Keep up with the program.

Rather unfair to place the same weight on someone who has to leave for childcare reasons and someone who wants to leave for any other reason surely!
After work drinks are not everyday dos! If someone with childcare commitments whose departure means they can relieve someone else of their duty without paying out for extra care is unfairly treated, JC is right to raise an issue. Come to think of it they will again pay out for drinks with people who honestly don't care. How many of the other groups have to bear such costs?
