Re: Alcohol Licence

The whole licence thing is rubbish anyway, visitors cannot get a licence, so, legally speaking, they aren't allowed to drink. But they do.

Go figure.

It's a money making and control thing that is way past it's sell by date. Expect it to be included in Emirates ID - as will Driving licence and every other detail of your UAE life - mobile numbers, place you live, etc. etc.

Short for The Raccoon - from an animated American TV series.

It's only racist if you want it to be.

Really?? It's short for "The Racoon". Famous Superhero, there are definitely no racial connotations from me.

Maybe I should change my "Hit 16's" strapline. It relates to blackjack. Honest.

Well I am Black, and I didn't know it was racist. Just did a quick google all i come up with

1) It's short for a Raccoon
2) It's the nickname of a comic superhero who is 8 years old.

I thought it was witty and purely innocent.

Well, here is a questions fill the gap< snip - this absolutely goes >
