If you want to see poorly maintained bathrooms you should see The Cambie in Vancouver. Absolutely disgusting! It's amazing how you can sort of overlook all that stuff when you're a student looking for some cheap booze... I certainly can't anymore though!

Well, one can only speak from experience and a girl I was at school with used to bring coffee and brandy in a flask for her lunch. Shocking I know but she was expelled with no thought as to why she might need such a tipple. But that's a whole other story. Anyroad with this knowledge one might imagine that a ban on alcohol might be circumvented/circumcised? by the addition of flavourings other than French Vanilla.

Personally I like coffee to be coffee and booze to be booze.

This thread really delivers! MDMA, Findus crispy pancakes, pooh jokes AND Berni Inns.

I give it four beers in my beer rating.
