You couldn’t make it up. But we did (sort of, with this post). Now, though, with immaculate timing given that the Banker Awards 2009 have just been published, we learn of massive bonuses at Lloyds and the threatened resignation of the RBS board unless bonuses were paid. Executives at Lloyds and RBS are convinced of [...]

When I was a university student, Extra Old Stock was the beer of choice for a lot of us - perhaps for the flavour, but more likely for the stupor. Extra Old Stock had six per cent alcoholic content, which gave you more blotto for the buck, as it were. (Hey, when you're on a budget, a 20 per cent alcohol advantage is nothing to sniff at.) Admitting that, I was astonished to read of...

by Smitty (h/t Rhetorican ) Jacob Weisberg should study climate science, judging by his disconnection with facts: This conventional wisdom about Obama's first year isn't just premature—it's sure to be flipped on its head by the anniversary of his inauguration on Jan. 20. If, as seems increasingly likely, Obama wins passage of a health care reform a bill by that date, he will deliver his first...

For many of you, the day after Thanksgiving requires you to put on your best Gap sport coat, head out to the local beef-and-beer drink your way through a high school reunion. Readers can empathize....

In a long feature in today’s LA Times about the death of an affluent teenager at an Orinda party where alcohol flowed freely, local parents were stunned to find out “that students from good families and strong schools” commonly attended such parties. Indeed, passing out drunk was such a common occurrence that “teens who passed [...]

You probably didn't see it, but Roddy Piper guest hosted RAW this week and even though he was totally blotto by the end of the show, he still has spectacular stuff. I consider Piper one of the two greatest talkers in the history of wrestling, the other being Ric Flair. These top two slots are non-negotiable. But rounding out the rest of the top five is harder than I would have thought. I'd probably...

Filed under: Paparazzi Video , Johnny Depp By the way Johnny Depp stumbled out of a NYC restaurant last night -- and then had to be carried into his car -- it seems the guy was really into celebrating his Sexiest Man Alive victory. Heeeeere's Johnny attempting to walk out of a bar with punk ... Permalink

Try telling THIS to a judge. The aptly named Zachary Duis took an unusual tact trying to dodge a drunk driving bust: telling the cops he gets blotto nightly.

Well there have been a few things going on over here in my bubble!! 1. Other half handed in his sample on Wednesday to the new fertlity place who will be looking after our care - not after we had a bit of a niggle earlier that week, as he went out and got blotto after the football - the very week we had to hand a test in !! Turns out he may not be coping as good with all of this as I had thought. He...
