Last Orders on Tube


The English like to drink. Beer courses in their veins in the general direction of Mayhem Station and London Transit decided this year to ban alcohol on the Tube. Yesterday was the last day of Beermas and thousands of the faithful celebrated the end of underground drinking with an impromptu party.

Six stations were closed by the police, as the anti-Taliban forces got a little rough with the coppers or 'filth' and transit workers. Several trains were also put out of service before midnight tolled in the new sobriety.

One punter said according to the BBC, "Like the rush hour only fun."

The new edict comes from the new mayor, despite his being a known boozer, but who also suggested last night's event. Hey. So he's a fuck-up. At least he's not Red.

17 arrests for the party were about normal for a London evening in the Tube recounted most famously by the Jam's DOWN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT where thugs throw the singer a beating.

The party named the Last Orders will be well remembered by revelers and those stupid enough to have gotten on the tube that evening.

Happy Beermas and Anarchy in the UK.
