Ant Rants - Bleeuugghh! 141011 | TFM radio

In the past couple of weeks, there was a big news story about MP’s being allowed to drink on the job. I had no idea there was a pub INSIDE the House of Commons, but apparently there is! And someone has alleged that MP’s have been spotted half-cut on the job on occasion.
Now, I certainly don’t begrudge someone having a beverage or two at lunch. We’ve all done it haven’t we? A cheeky one while enjoying a pub lunch in your lunch-break? But the big difference is, after our lunch, we go back to our 9 to 5. These men and women are voting on very important country-wide decisions that could potentially affect millions of people!!! What are they like?! I’m not sure if I’m angry or jealous.
Mind you, it does explain one thing. You know that odd noise MP’s make in the House of Commons when they agree with something one of their party members is saying? Instead of saying “yeah” or “I agree”, they all make this “BLLEEUUUGGGHHHH” noise. Now we know why. lol

This debate has also brought up another interesting point … how many words/expressions do we have that describe being drunk?! There seems to be hundreds! I would guess there are more ways to say someone is intoxicated than there is to describe anything else!
My personal favourite is “Leathered”. I’m also partial to “Trollied”. lol
Here are some other fab examples from our facebook page:
