Neil BrownSorry folks. New global alcohol ban has landed.

Persephone@neil "you may only drink alcohol when standing exactly in the door way."
Brandon@mindpersephone @neil common misconception, that’s actually double illegal
Pip Gowenlock@mindpersephone @neil the most remarkable thing about you drinking in the doorway, is that it's you, and you're drinking in the doorway.
D. G. MarshallTHAT'S WHY THEY WENT TO THE MOON!
Uwe Caspari@davidtheeviloverlord @neil Still outside the premise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@davidtheeviloverlord @neil Fair point. 😅
magnetichuman@neil I invite the proprietors of this establishment to come try and stop me

Norm Tovey-Walsh@neil I assert that I am outside of those premises and I *can so* consume alcohol. I haven't yet today, but feel free to check back later.
C++ Wage SlaveNah, it's fine. The sign says "cannot" rather than "may not" or "must not". Therefore, I can prove it wrong just by having a little wine, quietly and in moderation, with dinner this evening.
Alex Gordienko@neil it’s sort of awkward to have a drink standing in the doorway
Miley Cyrus@neil WHAT no more British fighting and random violence in the British cities!!
Jaimie's Erotica@neil Godammit!
@Jaimieserotica Back to a cup of tea for you, ma'am.
Blender Dumbass ( J.Y.Amihud )@neil Also scateboards are outlawed.
Amy Maybe@APBBlue I trust that you will now govern yourselves accordingly.
ChalkwhitehandsThe future the Socialists want for us.
@andrewplord Sorry, I don't understand?
@neil a few years ago there was a right wing guy here in Australia that was trying to scare people by telling them "This is the future the socialists want!"
Indigenous land rights? THEY'LL STEAL YOUR HOUSE! AND THIS IS THE FUTURE THEY WANT!
They'll take away your gas barbecue! THIS IS WHAT THE SOCIALISTS WANT!
Got to be a bit of a catch phrase to add to anything ridiculous.
@andrewplord Oh, heh!

Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@neil "Cannot" is wrong anyway - that suggests some law of physics. "May not", perhaps.

@TimWardCam @neil How about going all Gollum: "We wissshhheeesss".
Jon Roach
Ben Pfaff
Linker3000@neil Well, it *can*, perhaps it *may* not?
Captain Jack Sparrowand we know where it all started..

Jayflo@neil @katzenberger So, you are complying, but you want me to take the blame?
Jzero@GuerillaOntologist @neil Ah yes, the tweeners, the twilight space where anything is possible.
Enema Cowboy@neil
I am the premises. I am neither inside or outside.
I am the premises. I am neither inside or outside.
Alec Muffett@neil these people should consult for OFCOM.
