Thread: What are you drinking today?

I'm spoiled for choice when it comes to wine on the French Riviera but being a Sunday not too many places open. We walked through a marina having the equivalent of a car boot sale and I spotted some bottles of 2019 Marcillac. Nice drop of wine, good with anything.

Rude not to..

Onit...

^Tasty

Any former Catholic altar-boy will tell you that there is not much to match the eye-opening sensation of getting a Bishops Finger inside you

This Kentish Strong Ale has an earthy musty nose which really gets your attention before the thumping fruity bitter hops kick you in the gooleys. Defo back on the shopping list.

Thank-you Bishop Brennan, please may I have another.

Not your average gin. This had a bit more spice to it. A little aniseed taste to it and possibly some cloves or something.

will buy again.

^^ give credit when you plagiarize, Chitty.

Velkopopovický Kozel Czech Dark Lager with cloven hooves to appeal to your inner prince of darkness

Being a lager it is a bit more gassy than an ale when you first pop the top so I let it settle down for a few minutes.

Fruity with notes of chocolate and barley malts

Marder 1 Infantry Fighting vehicle just arrived in Uncle Vloddy's stable from Germany last month and a worthy addition to the good fight with its 20mm Rheinmetall Autocannon.

Handy pair of wing mirrors to look in when you are leaving the scene of those rusty old Russian T-54s with smoke billowing from the hatches

What proof is it?

^When I popped the top and copped the fruity fragrance I thought it must pack a punch so I was surprised to then check the label and see it clocking in at a sessionish 3.8%

^ 3.8% is perfect for a few.

I spent the last six weeks, dry, offshore, swearing to myself that I wouldn't slip back into my old ways.

I've done pretty well for three days but we had rain in Korat today and the afternoon school run took me 2 hours 20 minutes. Korat traffic becomes grid-locked in the rain and Ive never really understood why.

This destroyed my usual happy demeanor and I took a half bottle of Ya Dong off the gardener to relax me while I cooked.

I am stepping it up a smidge today at 4.6% with this stolid, solid fruity and fulsome ale from the Cotswolds

Her late great and most glorious Maj is showing these Nazi wenches and concubines how one deals with Fritz and his evil national socialist agenda John Wick style.

I don't understand the appeal of the John Wick movies but I fired up IV tonight since the interwebs is so excited about it all

I do like when the dogs bite the baddies in the ballbag

Wee nip to soften the bhuna

It's a nice drop.

A nice cocktail in the pool watching the sun set.

^ Very artistic, Stumpy!

^^^ I like an Aberfeldy also, BC. Another great thing is that it comes in those stubby bottles which I can hide in the bottom of my carry-on back-pack and have the bottle of Highland Park in my duty free bag!

But no such luxuries for me tonight. The Kommandant has gone to yet another funeral today so I'm having a relaxing Stella with Hong Thong chaser (not in view) while cooking and wasting time on TD. The daughter and dogs are making full use of the temporary relaxation in zee rules that vould normally be obeyed at all costs.

I still get a kick out of seeing myself on the internet!

Sorry to disappoint Mike, but I do all my DIY fully clothed!

It's Panzer inspection Sat'day this weekend and when it comes to Panzer inspections there is no better qualified Panzer General than Generaloberst Heinz Guderian

Panzer commander of the lightning invasion of Poland in 1939 and the blitzkrieg rampage through the Ardennes in 1940 that outflanked the francs and skittled the allies sending Tommy running for his boats at Dunkirk

I happen to know that the fearsome Generaloberst is partial to a drop of the Glenlivet so this helped things to go smoothly at the parade

I am loving the crash-damage detailing on the track fenders of this monster 70 tonne Konigstiger. Looks like there were a few lady tank commanders serving in the Panzer divisions who were not afraid to lay down their no-claims bonuses in the cause of das Vaterland.
