Ahhh. To be fair our booze culture is a little over the top. *grins* the government tried to do away with the whole 'last orders' melee in towns and bring about a little inner city and towncentre, nightlife revival by changing the licensing laws. instead of having all the pubs shutting at 11 o'clock, they extended the opening hours and allowed late licences, and 'all day drinking' (previously, there was a limit on licensing hours so that you could drink for a while during the day and then all the pubs closed until evening then opened again and shut at 11pm). The basic idea was that we'd end up with a less hysterical approach to alcohol consumption....maybe even foster a kind of European style pavement bar culture....

Bless. How naive. We are not French. We have a different relationship with alcohol than the French do. Giving us an extended number of hours in which to consume alcohol will not make us French. It just allows us to drink more :P

The Secret of Shambhala - James Redfield
Heart of the Christos - Barbara Hand Clow

Both recommendations from my boyfriend.

Id be interested to know if richlevy or his wife has read Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, since the main character/storyteller is an autistic teen. The writing seem "authentic" to me.
