Nah...Jammy Dodgers. I found a bottle of red that needed sampling and now me and the missus are having an Olympic challenge to see who can get the most jammy dodgers in their mouth at once. I am winning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleck Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I was in Lidl today, bought 6 bottles of Perlenbacher (or similar spelling) I've had it before and it's OK, thought I'd maybe open one as it's Friday night... But forgot all about it too late now. As least they don't go off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the bikes been SORN'd for months what better way to get through the tedium than punish yourself some morer. At least its better than boring yourself to death looking at the optimate every 5 minutes to see if its come on, or not. Or you spot a speck of dust on the tank and decide the bike definitely needs washing - again. only the third time this week. masochism can get ugly pretty fast. leave them to it.. that's what I say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is I'm at sea so it's an involuntary dry January replete with unannounced alcohol tests etc. As to veganuary just piss off. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Sun is the one thing I'm not short of. A balmy 30 C outside today. A more comfortable 22 inside thanks to air conditioning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been in a British pub since before the first lockdown. Nearest was the bar in a Beefeater. Last June and the September before that. I had a “Dry” Christmas and New Year as I was working throughout with the schizophrenics. And you need to be on the ball with them, every second. I did buy two bottles of Newcastle Brown last week, which was rather nice. And a glass of Armagnac as a chaser. I guess the whole point of a “dry” month is some kind of penance for overdoing it. I never overdo anything. Except when I’m on holiday and it’s German bier. Mmmmm. or this lovely stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
