Happy Birthday Your Majesty.

24C in here, now that the outdoor thermometer i brought in has settled …
No idea about shop prices, emms, but a blended (& mixer) in a bar probably costs about 4 euros. They give you about 6-8 UK measures though.
In a shop a bottle might be 10 euros. Malts probably cost from 15 upwards. I don’t think the difference is as great as it used to be, but instead of tax that’s prolly the retailer taking a bigger chunk…
Booze?
Disgusting.
*clink*
A “chupito” of a good malt (2-3 measures straight) will cost from 3-6 euros, depending on the malt.
I remember I served a guy a really fine malt (straight, no rocks) in a fat whisky tumbler in a hotel in St Andrews. I charged him 4,50 (15 years ago) & you could barely see the liquid covering the bottom of the glass. And that was a “generous” Scottish measure. 😉
It’s should only be €3 for the finest malt. But when I ask for uno bottelo de scotch…
*chin chin hic* sleeps.
In England spirits were sold in sixth of a gill measures. Whereas in Scotchland it was a slightly larger one fifth of a gill. Over the course of an evening it was the difference between being pissed and completely bladdered.
thanks xen, so not all that different to here overall….
and speaking of booze, must dash to lidls, shuts at nine.
Wine, chips n curry sauce sitting on a white rug.
What could possibly go wrong … ?
Glasto on the telly too.
Robert Palmer’s not doing too shoddily.
*thinks of Eva*
Bill, here they keep pouring till the alcohol covers the ice in a Highball. 🙂
A drinking mate, JP, always used to serve whisky in half-filled half pint glasses “so you could keep track”.
Glasto’s on already? Where has the year gone? Have they got The Stones to play there yet?
Were those his initials, bill, or was he not always as sober as a Judge should be?
I might have had my fill of free olives. Do I need my Chinese takeaway? As Bob* may have said “Yes, I do.”
*Or Barack… 😉
This booze talk isn’t helping. I just finished the bottle of wine I opened last night and fancy something else. Not sure what though. Malt, open a bottle of Armagnac, or another bottle of wine?
I cracked and put the heating on so at least I am no longer shivering.
Ha, in response to a mate’s whassapped pic of a tent, I referenced Nuts in May & now realise that I’ll have to go home & see if I can find the whole of it on Youtube.
If I can, I’ll be the happiest little bunny in BCN.
Altogether now “I want to see the zoo, she said, I want to see the zoo.” 🙂
Candice & Keith forcing that poor Welsh bloke to join in their hippy shinnanegins is definitely one of the finest British tv moments. That & Alison Steadman getting off on Demis Roussos.
For both we have one Mr Mike Leigh to thank. The greatest British playwright/film-maker ever. (I know people will disagree, but *sticks tongue out*) 😉
WP locked me out. Bloody computer. So I’ll go to bed and sulk till tomorrow.
Night all.
never heard of NIM, watching it now on youtube.
Mr Mike Leigh
*standing ovation*
NIM?
Nine Inch Mails?
NN sulky Bill.
*big fat mwah*
Xen,
If I were sober I’m sure I’d find your last several posts fookin excellent in several ways.
However ……
Sleeps, if I were sober I’d perhaps remember what the hell I’d posted…
On the phone to my mum.
Her: What are you having?
Me: Noodles & vegetables.
Her: Is that what it’s called?
Me: No, that’s what it is.
😉
Joining you now, emms.
“Vitamin C in their skins.” 😉
And you don’t always have to chew 72 times… 😉
Noodles and vegetables?
How very cosmopolitan.
*wipes curry stains off rug in a guilty manner*
Argh.
Typing and deleting. Not a good sign.
:wonky winky:
Composing a gushing thank you email which I shall not send until sober.
I shall not send until sober.
I shall not send until sober.
I shall not send until sober.
Yippppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“We can’t go tomorrow. We’re going to a quarry tomorrow.” 😉
Dunno about the rest of you, but I’m having a ball…
“having a ball”
*arf*
Ach.
Better step away from the pooter now.
NN all.
x x x
nn sleeps. x
I’m eating plain brown lentils with salt from a tea mug
just to get into the spirit of things…
I had plans for something more adventurous………but.
( pictures a bit blurred on youtube, I downloaded a better version_=)
I hope you’re having unpasteurised milk & free range eggs, emms…
” If i could take one of your lungs now, and put it on the table and cut it in half….. I think you’d be absolutely horrified” 🙂
“A lot of famous people in history have been vegetarian. Leonardo Da Vinci. Malcolm Muggeridge.”
:wtf face:
Emms, I think we’re more or less at the same point.
It’s the song, emms. It’s the song. 😉
“Have you taken a photograph before?”
The arrogance of the middle classes. Mindbogglingly accurate… 😉
you’re a bit ahead, i had a kitchen break, – just got to the camera bit 🙂
