Every time I say "that's it" a pack of Virginia Smooth ends up in the basket with the scratchcard. Just for one at the weekend.

I reckon the law banning it from P.O.S will do me favours...or make it even more of a guilty pleasure.

I like a life of moderation now after "the student" narcissistic years of 20 Marlboro Red and many vodkas-a-day.

Am only bloody 25. Going on 40. Innit.

Proper cheese, savoury biscuits, home-made brew?

It's all gone River Cottage since some people drank themselves to sleep.

Wonder how [b]stumpyjon [/b]and his Cloudy Bay's getting on.

If one is slightly tipsy, do [i]not [/i]go for a pootle round the garden...

Wuaey.

have some kids [b]cfinnimore[/b].. it will greatly improve your motivation to stay off the fags.. and will help you to fall asleep at the screen, halfway through a dodgy Bucks Fizz, possibly preventing the tipsy pootle..

'Tis alrite [b]yunki [/b], sister keeps giving me nieces and nephews, every time another one shows up I think it adds 5 years to my brood-o-meter. Oh the commitment!

Mrs.C on the other hand...

"5 years 'til 30" she says "yup". . .
*hides the turkey baster*

I think she plans on waking up on the morning of her 30th birthday, legs in stirrups and a sign saying "let's go, big boy".

Beer o' clock?

Had a lovely pint of "Deuce" at lunchtime after an interesting mornings riding alongside (and occasionally in) the Erewash Canal and River Trent.

Nearly a disaster at the bar when she thought I'd ordered a pint of "Juice" 😳

Slight hijack ...

Bought a bottle of Co-op Czec premium lager yesterday to try it out and I must say it tastes very nice unlike the majority of the chemical water you find nowadays. It's brewed and bottled in Czec republic for Co-op.

Matt, Loch Fyne ales, all of them, are marvellous. Along with Inveralmond and pretty much anything from Orkney, I very rarely stray South of the border.

All Aled out for the weekend I think. Perchance a nice Oatmeal Stout (Black Isle) to round the day off nicely?

I think next week shall be IPA week.

I like saying "glass or two".
In house measure terms It's quite ambiguous.

Two glasses = 80% of the bottle... Glugglugglugglugglug...
Oh well, can't put it back in the bottle now :-).

Anyone recommend an ale with Heather in it rather than Fraoch?

Leffe or otherwise?

Tell you what, house measures can send Nicola Sturgeon right to buggery, minimum priced units indeed.

£5 in this glass. Cow.
