I'm drinking Um Bongo for the first time in years.

It still says that they drink it in the Congo on the side of the carton.

Despite this, Um Bongo is not marketed in either the Republic of the Congo or the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Is this breaking the Trade Description Act 1968?

Bloody hell, I haven't had that since I was a kid. I'm frankly shocked that they don't actually drink it in the Congo though. What about Gabon and its president Ali Bongo, I wonder?

heheh. That old chestnut: "research has suggested"
Or "scientest said last night" (at the pub)

"The latest study [paid for by the alcoholic beverage association] suggests"

If you read a less sensational source of info, you find that "This ... study was based on self-reported information in which those drinking more stated they had less heart disease, but those drinking more would probably be less likely to see doctors and have heart disease identified,"

i.e. it's someone saying "I don't have heart disease cos I feel ok and am not dead, even though I drink loads", rather than actually testing people to see if they have heart disease.

I.e. a POINTLESS WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND MONEY.

Someone tell me a joke or something...........

Speaking at lunch to an Argentine colleague of mine (great bloke, actually!) and he was saying how Argentinians are despised as much by other Latin American countries as they are in the UK (Maradonna; Hand of God, etc), mostly for being arrogant (Maradonna again?).

Well, these countries have lots of Argentine jokes, apparently. So he told me one of them:

Q: "How does an Argentinian kill themselves?"
A :"They climb to the top of their ego and jump off"

badum-tish! Ondelay!Ondelay! etc.

[Adam Stone]
