Yes, quickly, before the next three years run out....
And I find it great that we are talking about the word advert when Shadowrun has used words like Drek forever..... |

Depends on the province; I think on Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec are 18, the rest are 19.

Correct, unless accompanied by a parent that lets you drink beer/wine in a licensed restaurant (but not bars/lounges) in at least some jurisdictions (not sure which ones though).

Quiet you. At least hoser isn't a slang term yet. |

Come to think of it, hosed is a term, though. Damn linguistic drift.

Although I distinctly remember my friends using that term a LOT in the early-to-mid-80's, when Bob & Doug McKenzie were big.... I feel so old..... |

You feel old? How else did you think I knew it?

Wonky. :)
I'm from bloody Kansas, and I use Brit slang often. In fact, I prefer some of it to ours. Even the curse words sound funny, its great! Like bulocks (or however its spelled). :D Heck, I've used the word wonky since I was five. :P Ah, the wonders of global communications. :rotate: :rotate: :wobble: :spin: |

Never understood why in the States you can be old enough to vote and die for your country, but not old enough to buy a beer. |

Because public intoxication might get a random person hurt or killed.
If you're in the military, then you're hurting and killing non-random people as designated by the shortsighted people you elected. |

Admin post: I think we've drifted far enough from topic for long enough that this thread should no longer be posted to unless we return to discussing adverts, err, ads. :-)

Getting a drinving licence with 16 and being able to fire guns won't work when the kids are allowed to get drunk. Just imagine what a bunch of drunk 16 year old kids with guns and weapons can do... :eek: |
