    Who's idea was it to stop under-18's from entering licensed premises after 9?
    Now there's going to be no Events for the Junior Certians :(:o
    The irony is, it's probably going to result in more Drunken crime... :rolleyes: :(

    I don't think this is a new law...
    I don't know what they did for JC parties before, probably just held parties in unlicensed places like.. community halls or something.
    About that law... uhh... I suppose it makes sense in some ways and stuff, but I think they should have a way to be able to "lock" the bar and make the place temporarily unlicenced for the purpose of under18s parties.

    I'd reckon the day after the JC results come out the teachers would be slightly more... flexible with the students. Or at least I'd hope they would be.

    lol, myself included this country seems to be getting into the habit of preventing us from having any fun whatsoever. For god sake just after getting the results, you want to go out and have a bit of fun, looks like a dinner with the parents is on the agenda this year for some people

    I don't think it's British... I think it's generally internettish...
    I just say "hehe" or whatever because when I see LOL I think of heads lolling (don't ask...).

    True but like coconutmonkey I've seen it so much it's just turned into a word which I must then translate to mean "laughing" even though it sounds nothing at all like the sound. I mean, IRL do people say "Laugh out Loud" instead of actually laughing? It's kind of like that.

    If they suspend your results? The JC doesn't mean anything. (Unless you're dropping out after 3rd year.)

    Well, I think that of you had a note or something, they'd let you off.
