…are absolute fucking shitstains.

That is all.

This time I got ID’ed for buying “Gears of War 2″ from Game.

Perhaps it’s just me, I must look like a student… no even worse, not even a student, students are 18 or over, I look like a SCHOOL CHILD at 27.

I give up, perhaps by the time I’m 30 I won’t get questioned for buying adult goods.

ID’d again… this time, glue, or solvents if you will.

I was flattered at first, “I’m going to have to ask you for ID for this one”
Weeeeeeee I look young… but hang on surely glue/solvents is classed at 18?
I look potentially under 18? Thats nearly 10 years out, so I play along.

“Sorry, which item?”
“That one” *points to the glue*
“Oh really, how old do you have to be to buy that then?”
“21″
“21? Really, oh no that could be a problem. 18 isn’t good enough then?”
“No it’s 21″
“Fairly sure the law says 18, you really think I look under 18?”
“Well we check people here who are under 21″
“Even though the law says you have to be 18?”
“Yes”
“Well.. ok then, how old do I look?”
“You look young, I don’t know how old you are”
“So what does a 21 year old look like then?”
“I’m just saying you look young, I need some ID”
“I’m 27″
“Oh… well ok then i’ll take your word for it”

!??!

Eh? So she admits that I have to appear to be 21 years old to buy the stuff, which she doesn’t think I conform to, then a simple matter of me telling her my actual age and she’s fine with it. Man, I wasn’t sure when the police handed retail outlets the rights to enforce the law via opinion of their staff, I must have missed that one?

PS - it’s a shitty day, but what is it with motorists that need to put their full beam lights on in a bit of drizzle? I tend to use mine when I can’t see where I’m going, not just because of a bit of rain. The funniest ones are people who put their lights on obviously for “safety” then have no issue at all driving right up the back of other people in conditions which makes it twice as hard to stop in time. Utter mongoloids.

What the fuck is wrong with the supermarkets at the moment?
Check 25 for alcohol?
Check 25?
How about check fucking 18 you retarded cunts.

What the FUCK does a 25 year old look like?

Describe one to me, just what does a 25 year old look like?
Clearly not me, I get ID’ed for alcohol in places that check 21 year olds let alone 25, and I’ve been over the age of 25 for quite a while now.

Also what the fuck is the idea of refusing to sell alcohol to people just because they happen to have another person who looks potentially under 18 standing with them. What business is it of theirs? I wasn’t aware the supermarkets had taken on the role of the police, but the only problem is they’re completely ignorant of the law.

I’ve checked the law, word for word on the official government site and there is NOTHING, *NOTHING* in it about refusing to sell alcohol to anyone over the age of 18 just because someone else is stood next to them who happens to look under 18, nothing referenced about providing identification or asking for intent.

If the person buying it clearly opens up and admits that they are going to give it to a minor then it is a crime by THEM, it’s still not a crime to SELL the alcohol to that person in the first place. The only required check is that someone is over the legal age to purchase the material.

Another thing that entered my mind, is where is the line drawn here?
A dad buying a 12 pack of beer with a 15 year old stood next to him, clearly his child?
Would they stop him, would they dare?

A mother buying a bottle of vodka with a baby in a child seat, would they ask her if she was intent on buying it for the child? Yeah right. So it seems it’s just people that are with friends who look near to the age of 18 that get questioned? Seems so to me, my partner is over 20 now but looks younger, I continually get stopped by people on the checkouts asking me if she has any ID.

My usual response is, what the hell has it got to do with you?
To which they try and quote me the law, which their upper management have clearly made up and spoon fed the bullshit into their minds. The law they constantly get wrong, do not understand and have no business trying to police in the first place.

Here we go again…

Muslims and Jews apparently finding the term “Swine Flu” offensive, because it references pigs.

…

I really am starting to despair, will this bullshit never cease?
I, *really* am both amazed the sheer retardedness of these religious cunts and at the same time, not actually surprised.

Pigs apparently dirty animals, offensive to Muslims and Jews… yeah whatever, it’s a pig mate get over it. Surely then a strain of flu originating from such beasts would surely just serve to prove that point, the idea of the disease being passed to humans is a fact, it actually relates nothing to the pig at all, it could have come from a fucking zebra for all we care, the point is it’s still a deadly form of disease if untreated.

Rebrand the flu to mexican flu? Sure why not, brand an entire strain of flu on a country and not the animal of origin, that makes perfect sense. I’m sure the Mexicans in particular would fucking appreciate that down the ground.

I tell you what, I might just start a campaign to get the word “Muslim” and “Jew” banned from being spoken in England BECAUSE THEY ARE STARTING TO FUCKING OFFEND ME.

I was using the text based chat the other day to talk to my good mate Durzel and the level of censorship imposed on us was mind boggling, infact, it actually managed to teach us a new word.

I tried to explain to a Durz that I had been playing Fallout 3, on typing this into the box however it came up *****ut3. I was perplexed, I had no idea why I wasn’t able to write Fallout, one of the most popular (albeit bugged) PS3 games around.

So I tried to retype the word but every time I hit upon “fallo” the text based chat blocked me and turned it to stars. I didn’t have a fucking clue what “fallo” meant so I went striaght to urban dictionary where I was informed that apparently a fallo is a skinny, gay, black man.

What is this complete nonsense?

I’m shocked that Sony have taken it upon themselves to censor things in this way, to the point where me, a streetwise, desensitised 27 year old male can’t actually type the name of a popular title into the chat only to be taught a new word from urban dictionary that I’ve never heard of in my life.

The funniest thing is, I opened a general thread for discussion on the PS3 uk forums, where it openly let me use the words “fuck”, “bloody” and “fallo” without an problem at all. So in the public eye on forums where anyone can view content, those words are fine; however in a private chat to my mate on my own personal games console located in our own homes, it’s not acceptable.

Sony = absolutely backwards
