Water You On About
Bottled water is a weird thing, like, you couldn't have sold it in the fifties could you? People would have told you to go fuck yourself for trying to sell them water, they pay for it to come out of their taps, they're not going to pay for it again. Saying that though I do quite like bottled water from time to time, not in a wankerish 'Check me out i've got Evian' sort of way, just the 'Im quite parched and I like water' way.
When I have water I usually keep hold of the bottle and fill it up to use again. It's weird though because when I've been drinking said bottled tap water sometimes people ask for a bit and im usually given the question (because they know of my tap filling activities) 'Is this tap water or proper water?'. Now that's a fucking weird question, one that's never been asked in any previous age of man. Really, it's all the same isn't it? There's only so much water in the world, sometimes it's clouds, other times it's rain/snow but it's all the same water that's been around for millions of years.
Now back when I used to drink pop or soda (depending on your respective side of the old Atlantic pond), I used to do the same thing, like after drinking a bottle of Coke, I'd fill it up with more Coke from home, be it Pepsi, Dr.Pepper or no frills Coke (im a cheap bastard me). As long as it was the right colour I wasn't too fussy. Many were the day though when I'd fill say a Coke bottle with Fanta and only later realise my mistake, any cunt would see a mile away that it was a refilled bottle. Now I know that's terribly stupid and vain of me, whats more though is that I never did the refilling thing to be cheap, well, it wasn't the main reason but I hated the idea of people thinking that im trying to be cheap when I just want some pop/soda to hand.
I have a nagging feeling this post is going to be, like so many others, totally devoid of any kind of point or purpose... oh well.

Fear not test man.
In pondering the bottle issue you have just summed-up the absurdity of modern life.
Very good.

Tap water does taste different to bottled water, yes. But not all tap water tastes the same. The water I have in Kent tastes way better than what I had when I lived in London.
Equally, not all bottled water tastes the same; it depend on where it was sourced, I suppose.
But it's all water. I buy bottled water. Volvic, I think. Multipacks of 2-litre bottles for about £3.50. Not too bad a price.
But when you go into a sandwich shop or Boots and they charge you £1 or more for 50cl, that's a fucking travesty. Grrr...
