No, not another Microsoft bluescreen crash but a ship called the M/S Explorer hit ice in the Antartic whislt carrying tourists! They had to evacuate to another ship in the region as the Explorer is taking on water and will soon sink by the looks of it...

I bought 2 big bags of the lovely Jelly Babies this afternoon and I intend to scoff the lot whilst I down a couple of litres of shandy.


Before anyone asks if I am gay the answer is no, I only drink shandy because of my blood pressure problems as it doesn't have much of an effect whereas hard booze really fucks me up. Oh I don't suck cock, unlike Vlad! :D :p ;)

P.S. All Finns are pissheads, this is why I admire them so much!

It's Alcohol that ups your blood pressure, doesn't matter if it from a scotch or larger shandy. Anything more than 1 glass of wine a night can affect it. Pilots have theirs checked as part of the yearly medicals and always stop drinking at least 6 weeks before hand.

Yes but 5 pints of weak shandy doesn't raise the pressure anywhere close to the same as what 5 pints of Stella would. ;)
