    Britain's Biggest Boozers

    Drink up, drink up, drink up and be happy, UT's are on stand by.

    Teachers and drivers are the UK's most moderate drinkers - but many are still knocking back more than they should, according to a new survey.

    The Department of Health poll found people working in education, transport and travel were England's most moderate drinkers, consuming an average of 24 units per week.

    But even that figure is above the limit recommended by the NHS - two to three units a day for women and a maximum of three to four units for men.

    People in the media, publishing and entertainment are the heaviest drinkers, consuming an average of 44 units a week, the survey found.

    IT workers drank an average of 34 units a week, followed by service sector workers at 33 units.

    People in finance, insurance and real estate get through an average of 29 units.

    I know you all cannot handle 'kww's raw honesty and wit (ok and his silly politics and "big balls") but the guy was good for some humor and funny shit, (some of which might have been actually intentional) I miss those UT jokes. Was he banned for something horridly horrible or just 'cause he got on someone's last nerve?

    Telling the staff at large to fuck off then threatening them with legal action because you were timed out as a result is an efficient way to lose one's posting privileges. Permanently, I might add.

    'TB (suddenseer) once commented that it takes an extreme case of the stupids to get tossed off here, as we tend to afford our members a fair amount of leeway. Yet, some manage to cut directly to the punchline and earn their walking papers in short order.

    This describes him to a tee! ....... it was astounding to see how quickly he got himself into trouble.An obnoxious undertaker who went out of his way to show his non political correct ways..... his "OL" was probably quite proud of him.... :roll:

    He's been a member of some of the local clubs I participated in.
    It wasn't an act. He's an uncomfortably funny person and seems to take every awkward situation all the way to its forthcoming detonation.

    I actually like much of the Greg I know, but the uncomfortable parts are hard to avoid.

    Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.

    Never let a little thing like a flood get in the way of a good pint!
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
