Thread: What are you drinking today?

Our lime trees are full. We have 5 of them. In fact my FIL is picking them and having his granddaughter sell them at market.


Nice job on Anna...

This is Thailand... I even worry about taking a post-it note off the fridge.

For bonkers box-head Friday I wheeled out the beautifully detailed Bf-110 which was the 2nd model I ever bought. This was the plane that Rudolph Hess crash landed near Glasgow on his bizarre night-flight unauthorised attempt to broker a truce with Churchill which ended with him rotting in jails in the UK and then Spandau until his death in 1987 aged 93

So a bottle of Belhaven seemed a fitting toast - hoots maun.

You have to credit the box-head engineering nut-jobbery attempting to get that round thing off the ground. It is a Sack AS-6. It did manage short hop flights but was never fully flight capable.

There is paint? Who woulda known.

I have to say, I do miss nice Redwood fences like we had in the US. They could last 10 to 15 years if stained properly. Here it's cement and in no time mold finds them. I didn't paint mine, I did use a sealer. However I didn't like the wall look, I planted hedges to hide it because I like the green. I have no idea what the walls look like now...

It's finally happened.

I can go back to work with one less worry...

A great moment forsure Mendy!

I use used engine oil and soak it in to the fence in the UK, last a lifetime, not very environmentally friendly but i'm all about the longevity.

Need something robust to stand up to the massaman so went with this little 14.5% number.

This Fw-190 with the guns out was the 3rd model I ever got and he recently got a kamerad wingman to line up with him on the apron

Was that posted at 04:49?

Respect.

or you drank it at 11:00, passed out then woke up early for a piss and posted the pic then?

Well it hit 36c so that's my cool off number.



This one is for the miserable git Taxi. Yeah its my Tequila. Early evening by the pool drink. Don't get all weird on us now.

The Russian build up on the Ukraine border has left me no option but to upgrade the front line fighters to 1/32 scale

No doubt the diminutive Vladimir Vladimirovich will be greetin about it in Pravda tomorrow but I feel he has backed me into a corner with his unwarranted border belligerence and has no one to blame but himself.

Indeed!

I do love that green grey colour scheme though.

Happy Friday





A nice Woodford reserve double oaked.

Finally trying it and not too bad

They have antiseptic tongues dogs, don't they?

As I was scroilling, I saw that furry head come into view and my thoughts immediately turned to Ricky Martin.

Say it aint so Dil, I was thinkin'

I'm not gonna even Google that

Yeah, don't.

Ask Mendy instead.

I've heard of Bob Martin and dogs.

Yeah Mendy'll know

^^^^A well pampered pooch Dill

^^^^^I like these pouring photos the Stump posts up

You can almost hear and smell the pungent merkan hooch swirling round the glass

I would try the same but I like to keep the glass tilted when I am splashing out the bubbles.

Plus it would be contortionary to get the latest fighter wing addition into the pic at the same time

Anyhoo it took a bit of back channel diplomacy but I have finally managed to get the boxheads on board in 1/32 on the Ukrainian border

They were understandably bashful and hesitant considering their lebensraum history in Eastern Europe and their track record on the Eastern Front against the take-no-prisoners bolsheviks

But the legendary Luftwaffe has finally agreed to come to the table

Prost

I really don't know why my name was mentioned but I did some research. Not for the first time I'm left wondering WTF is wrong with you people?!!


Ricky Martin water slide

Verb
When 69ing it is when a girl squirts in your face as she fingers your starfish

Maid 1: 'What happened in here!'
Maid 2: 'Oh Justin Bieber was here last night you know how he likes those Ricky Martin water slides.'
