Vomit all over the streets at the weekend

Vomit! I'm sorry, but there it is... all over the streets every week and quite frankly I'm sick of it!.  Saturday and Sunday mornings the detritus of another night of binge drinking and kebab eating.  Haven't the British public got anything better to do on a weekend?

Last Saturday I set off for an early shift at work and literally had to pick my way around these disgusting puddles of vomit, now one week on these disgusting puddles have dried to nasty patches in the summer heat.  Some would say don't look down, but if you don't look down who knows what horrors you will tread in.  Who's to blame and who should clean it up?

I am dismayed that my local council are spending a kings ransome, gleaned from our council tax, installing a fountain in our town centre, which is a bit like trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear to be honest and guess what's going to be in the fountain every week?  Presumably more puke!  We can now look forward to seeing the stuff sloshing around in the fountain on a Saturday morning.

binge drinking associated illness...

Vomiting after heavy drinking

How about some good old fashioned street cleaning?  In my opinion the councils don't clean the streets nearly enough to cope with deluge of binge drinking associated illness!  And to all those business owners who open their shop doors and don't seem able to wash the previous nights deposits from their front entrance, you'll understand if I don't spend my hard earned money in your establishment.

Ah well that's the problem with alcohol, isn't it? There comes an ill-defined point where the drunk becomes poisoned to the point where she is no longer responsible...thus a very pleasant and civilized visit to the pub can become anything from an embarrassment to a crime scene. It has always been this way.

Puke on.

I wish people would stop blaming alcohol itself and start blaming the individuals.

There are plenty of people who drink alcohol; not all of them behave this way, even when blind drunk.

Cheap alcohol, 24 hour availability and many start at age 9 upwards - ignorant parents who introduce this drug bit by bit so by the ages of 15 , many are hardened drinkers.
Stupid parenting, stupid people, stupid government who support these idiots.

Why not ban all alcohol for people under 25. Even if they are forced on to street corners they will find it harder to buy those big bottles of cheap cider. While were at it we might as well increase the penalties for any mindless vandalism that results.

Why should we waste our money employing poor people to clean up the mess this boorish, lager louts make? To hell with them! They can clean up their own mess and perhaps think twice about being such a vile and obnoxious person. We do not need them on this planet!

Ben,
You are living proof of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. DKE sufferers falsely believe their knowledge is superior to others. DKE sufferers have two options: educate themselves or more likely, due to their extreme ignorance, continue deludedly to believe in their faux superiority – despite glaring, overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Over-consumption on this overpopulated planet is a problem. Do you have no realisation that many people cannot get enough food to eat, because there isn't enough. Yet odious, selfish, hypocritical individuals like you believe it's your right to plunder the world's resources, act like a social parasite, by draining the national coffers and behave deplorably and offend normal sensibilities. You will soon discover that your nasty brutish life will be cut short, and it will be through your own over consumption. You remind me of Mr Creosote, but one on benefits.

I can foresee a well deserved Darwin Award winging its way to Ben.

What is the deal with all these cosmetic creams that women (and some men) buy? How do these cosmetics companies manage to get away with perpetuating the myth that a £40, 200ml tub of fragrant gunk can roll back the years? It's absolutely ludicrous and I can't believe that women are gullible enough to believe it These creams and potions don't work and they'll do nothing to make you younger. They're nothing but a con in my opinion, and if you buy them you'll not get what you deserve - nothing!

Everyone ought to know that cosmetic creams are legally required to have no effect. That's right, the companies making these wonder creams wouldn't be allowed to sell them if they had any form of physiological effect whatsoever. SO THEY HAVE "NO EFFECT!

If they had ANY effect at all, they would require a prescription and would be classified as a medicine. So for goodness sake, stop buying these foreign (some are made here, but they're mostly foreign) anti ageing creams. You're only fooling yourself and making yourself poorer whilst these reap the profit.

If you want to spend your money to improve your skin and look younger, get some fresh fruit and veg into your diet instead of that rubbish you normally eat. While your at it, get out and have some exercise as well and stop smoking and drinking so much. That's the only REAL way to stay young looking!

pete, that's right. Cardiff and Liverpool folks are original co-creators of both the phenomenon and the term, "pavement pizza", and they are predictably proud of this claim. Don't forget your wellies if planning a weekend night out in these cities.

I've been to Cardiff and Liverpool and anon is quite right about those places. "I hate anon" sounds exactly like an inhabitant of either place (supportive of binge drinking and violence). Probably explains her attitude.

Obvious advice, "Here is a simple solution:

Don't walk in the vomit!"

Here's a better solution. Have some self respect. Don't drink more than you can hold and don't puke on the pavement. If you insist on ignoring this advice, move to somewhere where it's socially acceptable...like Cardiff or Liverpool...or wherever "Obvious advice" lives.

Just a shame the binge drinkers are too drunk to find a tree or bush to vomit in, to save it going on the pavement where other people tread in it.

Ben your lack of intelligence astounds me; your post is ill thought out and contains numerous errors. Have you yet read about the Dunning-kruger effect? A rhetorical question you haven’t the intellect to understand my dialogue.

Instead of drinking copious amounts of lager at the weekend you and your friends should try a fine wine, Élevé en fûts de chêne, may I suggest pi**off de grape from the south side of the vineyard where the peasant’s latrine was based.

Also refrain from reading the daily rag that you are addicted to and try a decent book, preferably one without any pictures in it.

Instead of hip hop and rap music try decent classical music, mit beschleunigter Geschwindigkeit, maybe this will give you something to tap your feet to.

Of course don’t forget the meal, vomit the curry and try Chicken Liver Parfait, Hachis Parmentier, aux Lardons, Brittany Prune Custard.

You could also wear a suit and maybe then someone will employ you and get you off the dole.

If you care about the wildlife on this planet you should be grateful that me and me mates have a good vomit at the weekend. Where else would the pigeons and rats etc. get a good curry to eat? Do you think that the curry houses open their doors and invite the pigeons and rats inside for a free meal? Well they don't cos the pigeons and rats aint got no money! They expect me and me mates to pile in after a good booze up and part wiv our dole money for a good curry. There is nothing better than having a curry and then going outside and vomiting all over the pavement. Some of me mates have got quite expert at it and can hold back until they get to a bus stop and throw up there. Another thing, don't you think that all the vomit stains on the pavement bear some resemblance to contemporary art? See we is doing our bit to sustain the wildlife and instil a bit of culture in you poncey lot.

There's less reason for the young today to defer gratification (to make sacrifices now for greater wealth, happiness later on). It's all about instantaneous pleasures - live for the moment, to hell with the future; be that way it may; you only live once etc. Also the pressures on the young are much greater than they were years ago, coupled with the decline in moral standards and strong parental guideance. All of these trends contribute to a sense of hopelessness and/or abandonment of later consequences. That probably explains why we do have a binge drinking culture.
