Paddy's Day Special: How To Drink Alcohol in Public Without Getting Caught
1) You know those non-alcoholic beers, lame I know, and you thought why would anyone buy that? Well you will be buying it as a decoy-it will camouflage your lovely alcohol-full beer! If you are a kleptomaniac you could nab the label and not the whole beer because all you need is the label. Make sure you bring some kind of adhesive with you too, to make it stick to your real alcoholic drink bottle! If any figure of authority stops you, all you have to do is point to the label and say "Yup dog its non-alcoholic now bother someone else."
2) Who thought a sitcom could be useful for real life stuff? Well Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia have offered millions the chance to enjoy wine with all the grace of drinking a can of coke. Don't stop there, you can put in vodka, home-made gin, whatever tickles your fancy and no one will be the wiser. All you need is an empty can of coke and then you pour your wine into it. WINE IN A CAN BITCHES!
3) Hip-Flask! The name of this game is stealth which gets increasingly more difficult as you get drunker, but sure if you get caught who cares, you've reached your aim of getting fucking locked! Fuck yeah kiss my shiny hip-flask pigs!
4) This is one for those that like a risk and are not afraid of ridicule. My friend did this at Electronic Picnic to smuggle his cheap Tesco wine in a carton passed the bouncers. He disrobed the carton until it was reduced to a silver bag of wine, the silver bag is the linen in the carton, when you pull it out of the carton the wine is preserved in a silver bag. He stuffed the bag of wine into his crotch and just walked right on in. And it worked although it looked like his balls had some sort of growth disorder.
5) Final tip, if you are desperate and fancy yourself as a bit of a thespian give this a shot. When an officer of the law confronts you about your blatantly drinking alcohol in public, feign that you are handicapped and they will feel embarrassed and leave you alone. Larry David has successful used this technique as we see in the video above.
As Tony Charleston would say "Get Fucking Locked Man It's Fucking Class". Happy Planning for Paddy's Day from everyone at MRHP!

German President Christian Wulff Quits
German President Christian Wulff announced his resignation over a scandal of a home loan he accepted whilst he was a premier at Lower Saxony. It is perceived by the German press to be the worse domestic political crisis in post-war Germany. His alley Chancellor Angela Merkel said that he had "decided to make a step back and put the interests of the general public to the fore".
So more on the scandal-in December the Bild newspaper published the condemning story, that Wulff received a loan of 500,000 euro from the wife of an affluent business man in October 2008. Later in Lower Saxony's parliament he denied having any dealings with the business man or his wife. It is then reported that he tried to force the Bild not to break the career killing story which when later under the pressure of the courts he had to issue an apology to Bild cheif edirot Kai Diekmann for his aggressive phone calls.

What Does 100,000-Year-Old Seagrass Look LIke?
This archaic seagrass' or underwater meadows are called Posidonja oceanica and live in the Mediterranean. What is their secret to a long-life? According to Professor Carlos Duarte, the director of the Oceans Institute, Withthrop, " Clonal organisms have an extraordinary capacity to transmit only highly competent genomes through generation, with potentially no end" although now climate change is threatening their being. Duarte adds " Indeed, the ancient meadows [...] are declining at a rate several hundred-fold faster than the rate over which they spread when forming, a situation that this slow growing, long lived species is capable of recovering from." This will have consequences to all of earth as these meadows are essential to coastal ecosystems. Replanting these meadows has proved unsuccessful thus so far,so they face a struggle we will share with them in the decades to come.
For those who want to know more about seagrass here is a variety of helpful links:

Is the Legalization of Drugs in Portugal a Success?
In 2001 the Portuguese government became the first country to decriminalize drugs- now this does not mean shops can sale drugs, or drug dealers can register themselves as legal businesses-no- this means anyone caught in possession of certain quantity of drugs (less then a ten day supply) for personal use does not have to go to prison and have their reputation malhawked, rather they are forced to meet and be evaluated by a social worker, a psychiatrist, and an attorney who outline reasonable actions to help the drug user if they indeed need help at all.
It reminds me of an episode of The Wire, where an audacious district commander, Major Howard "Bunny" Colvin sick of the failing methods used in squalid neighborhoods in fighting the criminal drug hierarchy sets up Hamsterdam, where he copies the methods of Amsterdam and proposes that as long as drug dealers agree to stay off other streets other than the street allocated they can go about their business. It is interesting to note contrary to common belief marijuana has never been legal in the Netherlands, rather they consciously turned a blind eye to enforcing the law against shops which provided marijuana to customers.
So why did Portugal break way from the general, conservative European drug policies? The reason why Portugal enacted such radical laws was that it had the worse drug use in all of the European Union, so they felt a different approach was needed and urgently. JoĂ£o GoulĂ£o the president of the Institute on Drugs and Drug Addiction said " we were out of options". Portugal had the highest AIDS caused by dirty syringes deaths than anywhere else in the European Union in 1999.
So has it paid off?The statistics say yes, their are vast improvements. Portugal nowadays finds itself with the lowest rate of marijuana users in Europe, America has roughly 450% more marijuana users and hilariously they have the most stringent laws in the entire world for drug use, America Fail! Since the new laws were introduced, drug use and drug-related deaths have fallen along with the bonus of a rise in those seeking treatment for drug addiction due to the fact that they are no longer afraid of criminal prosecution for seeking such help to their drug problems. There has also been more success in catching those higher up the chain of organized drug-related crime. Glenn Greenwald who worked for the Cato Institute on researching the results of the new laws said “judging by every metric, drug decriminalization in Portugal has been a resounding success. It has enabled the Portuguese government to manage and control the drug problem far better than virtually every other Western country."

Smoking Pipes Banned! Unless You Are A Dalmatian
The land that has given us dalmatians, has disgracefully banned the lovable pipe, which Rene Magritte refuted the existence of with his painting entitled "This is not a pipe". Now there will be no "This is not a pipe"s at all in Croatia!This sign was spotted off the coast of Dubrovnick. Funnily enough you are allowed to smoke in train carriages, pubs and restaurant but not in the open air of parks! There is loophole in the legislation we here at MRHP have researched and found to be an effective solution. Dalmatians are allowed to smoke pipes in parks, so pop on a dalmatian costume and you are ready to go!
We here at MRHP will appreciate our rights to smoke in parks by ambulating to our neighborhood park, nestled in-between ugly houses and having a few puffs of liberation. Ah the sweet smell of billowing smoke freedom!

Nobel Prize Jury Calls Lord Of Rings Poor Writing
What seems like a lack of foresight and expected snobbery on behalf of the Nobel committee, showing awards influence little on the propagation of pieces of work into the world. C.S Lewis made famous by Alice in Wonderland had put up his friend JRR Tolkien for nomination. One Anders Ă–sterling, a snobby and bitter literary critic dismissed JRR Tolkien who he judges as having "not in any way measured up to storytelling of the highest quality" I should note he also shunned Robert Frost for being too old. Which is much more outrageous then JRR Tolkiens omission for "poor prose". Who thought you would find ageism with one of the highest awards in literature! Absurd I know! Even in sports such as boxing, men in their late forties have won championships such as everyone's favourite George Foreman. Imagine if they were chastised for being too old. And they took their awards away!
