    Yeah, lost quite a few. Haven't got j7, dunno what @Twozzok's up to, last year was pretty good but I think the year before was probably the best turnout? Sun was out too, here's hoping shit picks up in the next couple weeks! This'll be a tasty meet regardless, and might actually be a bit more social being smaller as sometimes people don't get to talk to everyone properly like.

     

    I should be there.

    I started on C, I personally didn't find it hard at all. My main use for it is programming microcontrollers.

     

    Also, if you decide on C++ I reccomend the SAM's Learn C++ in 21 days, it's really basic and explains the concepts behind the programming really well, and as said previously, once you learn the concepts it's just a case of reading up on the syntax of a new language to learn it.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we have another winner tonight *ding ding ding ding ding*.

     

     

    Please stop :/

     

    Yes it will. You're saying it's only £2 a night, but it was also £2 last year, and before that. I used to buy pay ~£2.20 for a pint of lager, now I pay £3.20. I'm only 21 for christ's sake. If that's not a big increase then I don't know what is.

     

    This is pretty much the point, if it carries on as is it will become a purely 'special night' event type of night, not a lets be sociable with mates thing.

     

    Unless you can find a shitty Wetherspoon's it's almost not worth going out drinking in London and surrounding areas unless you're minted/willing to spend a fortune.

     

    you forget Sam Smiths.

     

     

     

     

    EDIT: Also if the beer tax keeps going up 'spoons wouldn't be able to do Monday club. That would make me sad, who doesn't like £2 a pint on Fosters :(

    So it won't be much difference then will it?

     

    If you're already paying £3.50 (i rarely drink, so not sure if accurate) for a drink, an extra 20p is hardly making a difference.

     

    If you had 10 pints, it would end up £2 more expensive, which doesn't seem like much of a difference to me.

     

    until a few years down the road of not saying anything and pints that are usually £3.20 round here are now £5 and pubs are closing left and right because no one can really afford it anymore and then the breweries shut down and millions are out of employ. (an extreme example I admit)

    Am i just being stupid, or would this only increase the price of a pint 15-20p?

     

    Not a massive increase is it.

     

    It's not just about that, it's about the fact in the last 4 years it's gone up nearly 40%.

     

    On your average pint you're paying over a pound in tax nowadays. It's increased well over inflation If i'm doing my maths correctly.

    I think a minimum price-per-unit system (at least for places with off-licences, like supermarkets) could work, but that would probably translate to a price increase for mid-range and higher quality drinks under the guise of a "quality gap". That, however, is inconvenient, while the damage done by binge-drinking is an actual problem.

     

     

     

    I'd hate that, I regularly sit down and sip on a 10%+ bottle of ale over an afternoon with mates. The good stuff is already bloody expensive as it is :(

    Raising tax on a pint is stupid. What they should be doign to curb binge drinking is raise tax on the cheap cider/alco-pops/etc.

     

    As an aside does the tax increase also affect wine? As IMO a fine ale is much on par with a fine wine.

     

     

    Also, this is really only bad for pubs, supermarkets will still be offering shit for cheap as chips.

    I wouldn't tell anyone I know until I had it all sorted and stuff. Then I'd surprise my parens by paying off their mortgage, buying them a new car, and dramatically increasing their retirement fund.

     

    Then I'd set aside £500k for a massive vegas blowout for me and some select friends.

     

    Someone else on the internet had a brilliant idea. You send all your friends a cheque with the provision that cashing it precludes them from ever asking you for money again.

    UMG got this taken down a few times with copyright claims. They had literally no rights to any of it. Megaupload was about to launch a service for musicians where the musician got 90% of the profits. This is why I think it is now it's been taken down.

     

    The funniest thing of it all, Megauploads CEO was Swizz Beats.
