Big questions of the day

Owing to the state of my frontal cortex on Monday I was unable to complete an entry however, today we have a few large questions/observations which need to be recorded.

1. Will England ever win the world cup? I am expecting more Estonians than England fans in the pub tonight to not watch the match on Sky which I have n't got or can't afford. (triple negatives are allowed in order to save time and words).

2. In the run up to the smoking ban, the government announce plans to tax the middle England 'winos'. This follows a recent campaign to highlight the dangers of drinking half a pint of standard lager per day and consequently manufacturers are now printing the number of units per drink on all bottles and packaging. Myself and most of my customers must live in a parallel universe.

3. In the last days of the smoking raj my puffing customers including myself are smoking 'significantly' more than usual. An observation made by Lady Karen a profound non-smoker but keen tippler. This is further illustrated by a much stronger pub smell when we arise from the dead in the morning and the cigarette machine was 'exhausted' of Marlboro lights on Tuesday - unheard of!!!.

4. The prices of outside ashtrays and 'jumbrellas' is almost as astonishing as your average Moneyrow Green cottage. Still can't work out why the ashtrays have locks on them. Not aware of butt rustling as a crime - except in America of course, where the term means something completely different.

I only ever do holistic answering. So any answers I give will be entirely correct.
