Here Be Dragons

FYI: 2

Oh yeah, you know how I mentioned the JP and its powers of being a mighty pub with goodness? Well I forgot to mention the cost of Red Bulls. The cost of Red Bull(tm) is vast.

Nic was drunk, very drunk in fact, and in need of Red Bull. Or so he claimed. (He was definitly drunk, it was the Red Bull I'm commenting on) and I wandered up to the bar with my $10 in hand to get a Red Bull, and hey, why the hell not, one for me.

I looked at my $10, and thought to myself that this was not going to cover two red bulls. I mean it should, given that downstairs as cafe 101 I can buy 2 for $4, but this was a bar, and I had a sinking feeling that $10 was just not going to cut it.

The barman went to get some glasses, which I declined, being man enough to drink my red bull from a can, and he got the two cans and opened them. Which I figured was very nice of him, my wrists being weakened by years of umm using them.

But, on to, the payment "That'll be $13 thanks." ?!? "That's ludicrous" I say. "Yeah, it is." Bah, I paid the man. $6.5 each? I even checked that there was no Vodka included... There wasn't. Which, in retrospect is just the kind of crap you would expect from a drunk person, which I wasn't. Oh well.

That is a crock. A Crock.

Disable target="_blank"

Mozilla Firebird has a built-in pop-up blocker that is activated by default. However, it doesn't stop web pages from opening in new windows by using the target="_blank" or the illegal target="_new" properties. To force such links to open in the same window, add the following code to your user.js file:
// disable target="_blank" (open in same window):
user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true);

Mmmm tricks are for kids.
