If you have two beroccas*
then take a pee in a public toilet where they use those UV lights to deter junkies, it looks like you've got a laser shooting out your knob.


*Aussie multi vitamin** fizzy things, good for a hangover.

** That's vittamin to you UK people.

Okay, I'm totally naive here ...
but how do UV lights in toilets deter junkies?

Are they bewildered by everything suddenly being a peculiar shade of purple? Or can they just not see clearly enough to find the vein?

blue light means you cant see the vein
they even have them on night busses in the UK

on a bus?
you mean the purple strip light near the door? That's so the driver can see rather than have the glare of a normal light near the front.

they can still find the hole where they've been stabbing themselves for years
A man cant go for a slash in a train station without the familiar din of junkie a la heroin in the shitter.

Beroccas
Vittamin = LOL.
Blue lights = apparently the junkies can't see their blue veins under the light and waste time stabbing themselves up and down the arm with no obvious target.

Although the idea has one key flaw:
There's nothing to stop them simply marking a vein with a pen, for later reference.

If they could think that far ahead
then they wouldn't be junkies in the first place.

Oh, FFS, b3tans.
Difficultchild, you cockknobjockey, it's spelt vitamin in the UK, too.

Surely the pronounciation is what he was referring to
Given they pronounce it Vite-a-min over there...

Of course it means they say it wrong, not that we spell it wrong!

Vittamins!!!
That's hilarious! Part of me just wants to say nothing to see how many others correct my spelling before relising I'm taking the piss, but for those who apparently need it explained.
I know it's spelled vitamin everywhere on the planet, it's just that Australians tend to pronounce it "vite-a-min" whereas the Brits seem to prefer "vitt-a-min".
For the record, I also know it's universally "yoghurt" and not, as one might suspect from the UK vernacular "yoggit"; I know it's "pasta" and not "passta" and most importantly I know it's spelled "No shit Sherlock" and not "Oh really, I actually had no idea everyone spelled vitamin the same way. Golly thanks for being so clever and pointing out my mistake".
