Is Dave Rubin a serious person? He doesn't seem it

40, 50, 60, hell even 70yrs too late!

Yes, I'd heard. They're getting stricter here, but the drinking age is 18, not 21

Well, you've got me beat, albeit I'm from the UK and the drinking age is lower

Seriously messed up that that guy is the same age as me!

Oh, don't get me started. I went out in Cardiff last bank holiday Friday, was walking into Queen Street (major nightlife hub) at about 11:30, and it was effing dead!

Well, it was still annoying that it had to take two and a half extra years. I started uni in September 2003 and finished in May 2006. Could've enjoyed it throughout my uni years, instead of just the last six months

Well, people from further abroad always complain that everything here closes too early (something Blair was meant to put a stop to). That's something I wouldn't mind changing

Yes, yes, it was, but if you read the article, you'll find for some reason, it didn't come into effect until 24th November 2005.

Well, good! It's been 20 years (almost, come November) since Blair gave us "24-hour drinking," and foreign visitors are still commenting on how early everything closes over here. God forbid we should not allow this country to be run by the fun police!

Tbh, it was actually 2005

Well, I really consider opening hours to have been a problem tbh

IKR? Why couldn't this have been done 30yrs prior?

Well, they've always gone on about the plight of the Irish and their woes (rightfully so), but are incredibly glib and dismissive of the same thing being done to the Native Americans

You might want to try saying that to people outside the UK

Couldn't the pubs be open later?

Theory? I thought that was established fact?

A friend of mine once told me about this guy who was a king in Ancient Egypt.

I said: "Pharaoh 'nuff!"

They then went on to say that he'd visited these Danish islands in the North Atlantic.

Again, I said: "Faroe 'nuff!"

Bizarre, considering in Cardiff, 11pm is practically the start of the night

I swear half those names he suggested are already the names of various metal or punk bands
