"Stupid 18's"

Went to get L.A. Confidential.

"Sorry, can I have I.D?"

I have no I.D, I'm not 18.

" Sure..Oh, I've left my driving licence behind."

" No, I can't let you have it."

This is where the conversation ended. I would have dearly loved to have treated that till tart to a lecture about the subtle messages contained in the structure of L.A. Confidentials brilliant screenplay, and embarrassed her, but instead a swept out with a haughty look. And bought The Fifth Element instead. :-D

Bah. Only a year to go, then I'll be 18 and can go to the pub next door. I have to go to the next village to go to the pub with my mates, how stupid is that, when I have a pub sitting right next door? Damn owner is a firend of the family.

L.A Confidential will be mine, especially if it's only a tenner at HMV or Virgin.

i'm at the centre of a lot of kids hatered at the moment cos i wont let them buy GTA3
har har har
i laugh in your faces you teenie boppers!

Hard luck stryke :-)

This is the best way to buy 18's or get served alcohol:

checkout guy/barman: Are you 18?
You: Yeah
C/B: Do you have any ID?
You: Ahh, this is a trick question isn't it? Only the people under 18 carry around the dodgy fake IDs..
C/B: (looking sheepish) okay then that's £10

alternatively, or as back up, obtain the following:

passport
scanner
adobe photoshop
printer

If you use them in that order an ageing factor can set in that will convince many people you are 18....

NB - DON'T care.

When I was served at a bar once: It seems the best thing to do is not really care at all.

"Are over eighteen?"

"Probably."

*Man stares at me*

"Can I see some ID then?"

"Sorry, no."

*stares at me again*

"But you are over eighteen?"

"Yeah, I said, probably."

Bear in mind I was drunk anyway before I got there... and I got served. Bought four pints as a round.

In a shop, eye the person that's behind the counter. Student age girls are the best to be served by, they care who they serve.

Yeah, I was out clubbing it up at 14 too,(5 years ago) yawn.

I only didn't serve the guy because it was 11:15pm.

I'd like to see you youngsters get served after that!

I've been served alcahol too. It's the alcohol you want, it's better.

I got served alcahol the other night. I'm only 14. I rule.

Well I refused to sell someone alcohol this evening and he showed me his passport which proved he was 27!

That is nothing!

I go into Dixons to buy House of the Dead 2.

"Sorry I can't let you have this, you're not 18..."

I'm about to accept their decision and leave when I look on the back of the case.

It's a 15!!! Not only this but it's not even a proper 15, just that damn ELSPA rating!

So after about 10 minutes of trying to explain how it's only a 15 and how the ELSPA means nothing, he finally let me buy it.

Damn fool!
