Thread: What are you drinking today?

That looked like a great trip Shutree... apart from the cider. That looked well dodgy!

Last night I tried a small splash of Jura... not so much because it is a particular favourite of mine but more because it was on offer in Bristol Airport duty free. I also had a further rare bonus at BRS on Wednesday... someone had left a luggage trolley by the entrance door so I nabbed it and saved myself the 2 quid trolley hire charge. (have I ever mentioned that Bristol Airport also have machines that charge a quid to charge mobile devices... the robbing bandits). I really hate the place, but it's convenient.



I bought the whisky at Bristol Airport, despite my dislike of the place, because the flight to AMS was delayed thus making the connection tight. I didn't want to risk waiting for the greater selection available at AMS in case there was no time.

As it happened the onward flight to BKK was also delayed, so I had time to pick up a bottle of gin as well and hide it in the daughter's carry-on. Poor thing... she was already complaining about the tremendous weight of her back-pack (I'd hidden a load of fossils in the bottom) and then she also had a bottle of gin to lug about.

^The pack look pleased to see you home Mendip and Lola has blossomed. I watched the movie Dog (2022) tonight so I am tuned in. Solid 7/10 on that movie


I earned a Hook Norton -12 Days - Porter with my 20km bike test-ride today. A rustic brew with hints of mollases and oatmeal with a wet earth nose. I think I will be partaking again soon.

One of the box-head tank crew offered me a smoko and it seemed churlish to demur on a Friday. I can always cycle it off tomorrow.

St Austell Tribute pale ale. I really like this.

A vodka martini I prefer to have a twist of lemon peel.

There was really only one answer to that question, and a bit weird it had to be asked.

But he has barely touched a drop of booze for months.

She’s celebrating with a strawberry mimosa.

I took the first sip.

^ Lovely jubbly...

Wife has gone to visit a sick uncle, who fell off his bike, drunk. Left me with a bottle of grand marnier and some ice...
Excellent company, along with a murder mystery...

A very feminine pic, now for something more masculine..

I'm afraid it was much worse, he died yesterday mornimg. I've known hom since I first came to the village, looked after his dad when he had liver cancer. Bloody stupid way to die.

Horrible news! The family must be devastated.

Friday, innit.

I had never had a bad bottle from Marlborough so I was chuffed to find this in Lotutheth at B500 a bottle. Sadly, plonk of the lowest order.

Ahh yes...back home in the "Boonies. Quiet, No riff raff, beer is cold, Pool is private, no Chinese hocking lugys and smoking and throwing garbage everywhere, no transgenders fighting with Indians, No murders, no ambulance every 30 minutes and no Pattaya stench.....

Apple, banana, pineapple and a little crushed ice.

Looks like you are as boring and weird in real life as you are online. What a bellend.

Anyway, Guinness for breakfast, San Miguel on the train down to Brum and I imagine Moretti in the battlecruiser while watching the return of the football.

Come on Forest!

Tea, 2nd litre

^^Hi chubby. Sounds like a lot of alcohol.


How's that scale?

I'm joining Armstrong, on the Leo tonight.
