I'd say that's exactly the sense they are going for. Not sure about that - it's not exactly a Walkabout-ish "how much can I drink before I go to hospital" venue. I think they're going for lush-as-adjective; I doubt its Young And Beautiful target audience even know "lush" in its 70's-term-for-****head sense. My housemates (barring one Scot) didn't know that meaning. I don't know if they're the target audience; they're young, though, so that's at least one out of two. tom -- Programming is a skill best acquired by practice and example rather than from books -- Alan Turing |
