The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy.
Floatopia's Last Hurrah. Provide people with a place to enjoy a beer, and enforce litter laws instead of this Nanny State approach to over-regulate every aspect of people's lives. *Bonus points if you can pick out Kukri in the floatilla.*
I watched 'Into the Wild' yesterday. I am quite convinced Rainey, of that hippie couple, is Kukri. The role was played by a completely unknown actor.Quote:

And wut aren't you allowed to drink a beer on the beach :inquisitive:
On beaches, the likely side effect of drinking is drowning. Since this affects the person who'se decided to drink and not others then it's their life.
I imagine that many people can have a quiet beer in the shade and swim, or get rat arsed and not swim. Hell, people can eat on the beach and that can increase one's risk of drowning... should that be banned too?

It are always tourists who underestimate how dangerous the North-Sea is who drown. Free tip for Germans: NEVER SWIM IN THE NORTH SEA YOU IDIOTS. There.
Indeed, those floating German corpses makes the North-Sea stink. AND IT ARE ALWAYS GERMANS.Quote:

And of course the Danish where they wash up. Every year tourists drown yes, it's counterintuitive, when you are pulled down you must swim down, if you fight it you are dead. Same when you are pulled into open sea, you will eventually be able to swim back if you swim paralel to the coast, but it's a scary experience and if you panic you are dead. Coast folks know this, tourists, and most are German, don't.
A floating bed in a stream isn't a very good idea, maybe we should hold an educational campaign in Germany?Quote:

Floating bed is safe it are the undercurrents, you can spot them by bodies of perfectly calm water. These currents are exactly there, it's very deceptive and people don't listen. So Germans, DO NOT SWIM IN THE NORTH-SEAQuote:

Seeing as were giving free marine advice on this thread here is my bit.
Everybody but especially Polish people please stop thinking you can go sea fishing of the west coast of Ireland.
Rock fishing is dangerous the reason is simple the Baltic is a SEA the Atlantic is an OCEAN.
never eat yellow snow
that is all

Exactly there are usually loads of Byelaws available that can be enforced instead apparently we require more lawsQuote:

They should just ban corona. Nows there's something to be criminalized.
I've tasted that once. At a danish pub, after they ran out of beer(!). It shouldn't be criminalized.Quote:

Yes, crappy beer is worse then the Holocaust, I think we can all agree on that.
What was that rule where...
Not that bad with some lemon on a hot summer dayQuote:

Don't forget Husar, don't swim in the North-Sea :laugh4:Quote:

I'm not a big fan of the open sea, or dirty lakes or whatever, ever since I've seen a dutch beach full of jellyfish I lost all interest to swim in the sea...Quote:

Corona is devil piss mixed with mexican water.
Those who drink it are beezelbubs minions.
let me sum it up by saying that horetore and i agree. HORETORE and i agree on something. that about sums up the worlds opinion on it.
Personally I find it pretty rediculous that Americans are allowed to have an opinion on beer. Corona isn't really beer as it was made of corn, but it isn't thad bad. What is bad are typical 'THIS IS MY LIFE' New York types that drink it, yes these people absolutely deserve what Horetore hinted at.
You aren't missing much. If you want to drink something which tastes bad, makes you feel dehydrated, awful in the morning and be stupidifed for hours on end...Quote:

To solve this problem all SD has to do is assign more beach police, and enforce the littering and public drunkenness laws.
