I tried inviting the Rock Spiders round for a private gig, but they declined. Miserable bastards.

What's the most extravagant thing you've ever done Mentalhelmet?

Brunches do definitely stop, as for afternoon tea, you can usually find some places (hotels) that do some sort of food all day, whether you can get an afternoon tea with scones and cucumber sandwiches (with the crusts cut off), I don't know.

Most places open at 6.30 or so, but as Ramadan is in mid summer it may be later this year.

Who knows apart from some neanderthal in the desert looking for a moon - who could well be from sunderland... ;-)

Now you're going to get shouted at for implying that you can't have fun without drinking, therefore reinforcing a stereotype of british alcoholism.

I think it's more to do with the Mental One's noted cheapness than anything to do with alcohol.

Yes - and why did he assume that drinking = getting drunk?

I can drink quite a lot and still remain in a reasonably stable condition. I wouldn't drive of course, but I wouldn't be 'drunk'.
