);-> WHY WE HASHERS DRINK ALCOHOL
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." ~ Jack Handy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. " ~Frank Sinatra
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people. );->

"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."~ Henny Youngman
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not."~ Stephen Wright
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!~ Brian O'Rourke

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went: "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Those who can't do the quick step can play badminton in the lawn downstairs!Will organise drinks and chips. BYOB (bring your own booze) if you like.
The address Block G 419 New Alipore. Turn left at the Alipore gol chakkar or round about. Take Durgapur Bridge. You'll notice the sign for B.P. Poddar Hospital. Take a U turn at roundabout. First turning right just after the HSBC bank. (You'll see the Kolkata Police Check post and signs pointing to B.P. Poddar Hospital). Then 2nd right. Nowadays there's a big bus just outside our gate saying RB Enterprise International. And of course you'll see the badminton court!
Cheers, Neela

It's Freezing Here
Dear All,
I left Kolkata on Sunday, shirt sleeves and possibly a jumper at night, am now back in cold cold UK! But I'll be back in Kolkata at the beginning of Jan to start another new chapter - this time without the magnificent support of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office! So it is farewell to the FCO (for a while at least as I keep open my option to return as part of the 'career break' I am taking) and say hello to a small Kolkata NGO called Future Hope. Future Hope work with Kolkata's many 'streetchildren' and provide a home, education, family reunion and a future. It'll be hard work, but having known them for three years and after spending the last three weeks full time with them, I know it will also be very rewarding.
So that's about it really...I could go on but I'll spare a thought for your corporate inboxes which I know increasingly groan under the weight of all sorts of mush. Now that I'll be growing my hair long and wearing sandals I hope we can stay in touch!
Cheers
Paul
