The Royal Family
Priveleged, out of touch relics that cost the country far too much and have no place in a modern meritocracy. Or a beacon of all that is good about Britain, hard working and vital to our tourist economy.

Lets have a heated debate.

They provide more than they spend in the increase of of tourism they bring to the country.
That, although they are heavely substidsed, the tradition and history involved in having the royal family has resulted in one of the richest cultures on the planet.

also, booze kills my appetite. I have never eaten a kebab because i'm never hungry at the end of the night.

Bless your heart.
Go and get a miniature cognac and sling it in your coffee.

If that doesn't work it could be time to bring out the big guns: MEAT FRY-UP. Scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, two thick granary toasts, two gourmet sausages, Bury black pudding, bacon...

She's a Veggie, she should suffer for this.
Haha.

Also, Scrambled eggs? Are you mad? Should be fried, and runny!

Anyone with a hangover would suffer from that!!!!!!!

Plenty of ice cold water
and a bacon sandwich. Your body is crying out for greasy fat.

For most, I'd agree with Monty

Ice pack for the head
strong black coffee. I've heard that a bacon sandwich works wonders.

Get yourself
Some Lucozade and chocolate and fill yourself with sugary goodness.
(I helped save b3ta! JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:24, Reply)
Chocolate on a hangover? Ugh, not many things would make me feel worse
The Lucozade is a good idea though. Get Original flavour, so you won't gulp it.
(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:25, Reply)
Lucozade - six pack for £2 in Morrisons currently.
Fuck the royal family, this the important stuff.
(Cave Duck, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:39, Reply)
Don't tell me that
I have to avoid it again, I get too used to having a huge kick of Caffiene in the morning, makes it difficult if I have Lucozade 3 days a week!

That's why she should get it, so she sips. Orange is fucking lovely. Apple is a bit sickly though.

Pint glass.
Can of Red Bull or, even better, 'V' (the one in the green can). Top up the rest with 50/50 Orange and Cranberry.

Something stodgy

B complex vitamins and a lot of water (and time)

Nothing really fixes a hangover better than time so you’re going to have a really fun day.

(If you take B complex vitamins before you go to be after drinking a lot, they really do help prevent or lessen hangovers).

(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:19, Reply)
This is true, but I also think that the institution also brings more than ceremony - a sense of certainty and continuation, perhaps.

(Cave Duck, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:24, Reply)
Yes , my views are similar.
I actually quite like and respect the Queen, but would probably support a paring back of the Royal Family at the end of her reign.
(Cave Duck, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:20, Reply)
I assume "Paring back" means "March them into a basement and shoot them"
I agree
(I helped save b3ta! Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:26, Reply)
That's one interpretation, certainly. I'm a bit "Nick Clegg" on the issue.

students are about Nick Clegg
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:40, Reply)
me too
also, it is my understanding that the fees will be paid with loans, which get paid back after you graduate and are earning enough. In what way does that mean that only rich people can afford to go to uni?

Slightly simplified view obviously, but that's what part of the argument boils down to.
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 9:51, Reply)
Even more simplified view:
it's because students are self-important, pompous, irritating, ignorant little cunts.
(I helped save b3ta! Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 10:03, Reply)
yes there is that
I have limited sympathy at the moment because I'm fucking skint, and work is going to be getting more sparse.

My opinion currently is this: "Times is hard; suck it up, you fucking shitbags"

(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 10:36, Reply)
Many of them are, but not all
A friend of mine has just qualified as a Nurse, the hours they have to do during Uni are stupid. The only way for her to earn money was outside termtime, so she'd be working stupid hours, while still doing her work for Uni.

She's a fucking legend, I couldn't do anything like the amount of work she does.
