Hi Doug.
> ---Spanish nicks - please translateSpanish *jails*, where Brits are routinely beaten for the crimes committed by the hoards of obstreperous, drunken Brits (& I've been one! ) who annually descend en masse upon Spanish shores, leaving in their wake a trail of vomit & destruction.
> As far as 'civvies' go, this is how i see many:
> Slave away to compete for material prosperity; forget to smell the flowers, play with the kids, love the wife, step on any who get in the way, forgetting that what we reap is what we sow. Die prematurely due to stress of above lifestyle, go out the way you came in, with nothing....Yeah I hear what you're saying. I'm not against the whole 9-5, wife & 2.4 kids bit per se. But you're right; too many people sail thru life, oblivious to the beauty that surrounds them, self-interest their prime motivation. Who knows, were I not ill maybe I'd be doing the whole 'respectable' bit, but having been depressed all my life I've learnt to take nothing for granted. It's one powerful lesson.

Oh & re: Hicks. Some of it's too dark to be labelled 'comedy'. I find it pretty cathartic listening. Someone actually probing the *truth* about govt, society, drugs, with no regard for political correctness. & funny to boot!
