catmag 336 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Fight the good fight sister! S'all gone The kettle's going on for my bedtime cuppa. Therefore I shall shortly be drinking a Tetley infusion; strong with just a drop of milk and a sweetener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19889 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 13 days without so much of a sniff of a drop of wine. Been surviving on water, green tea and black coffee. Surprising how easy it is to give up the midweek bottles of red. Haven't really been missing the binge drinking either though don't know if I'll last to the end of the month without at least one session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Nice that stuff. The bloke who does the illustrations of the bottles is the same bloke that illustrated Hunter S Thompson's books. Sure I once paid about 8 pound for a pint of it in the Baccus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27301 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Got this in the Mile Castle last night for £2.59. That's a good price for a 500ml bottle of quality lager. 5.5% abv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27301 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You have my sympathy for having to go into the Mile Castle though. Was the meeting point, we had two in there. Been in worse bars to be honest, including that night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice. You need help, like an inverse Gazza. thinking of loading up the nespresso machine for another coffee but already had three double espressos today and concerned i'll be bouncing off the walls for the stream of the match When in Paris a few weeks ago we went into the Nespresso shop on the Champs Élysées, funny as fuck, hundreds of those little cartons in display cases as if they were gold bullion, racks of the different colour ones behind the counters as if they were casino chips. There were these standing funnels which you stuck your nose into for a smell, and most weird of all these little negotiating tables with card machines - not sure what they were there for, presumably to arrange a direct debit or something so they were regularly delivered? Mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad. I was a bit snobby about it at first but it's an absolutely superb machine. Never had better coffee at home plus there's next to no mess to clean up. Every fucker seems to have one now too. Last night I had a bottle of white wine and about 8 vodka tonics at a 30th birthday party. Hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Never had one til yesterday. Haven't googled what's in it but it was bloody strong. Only managed a couple of sips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27301 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The missus made her own sangria a couple of times which was pure rocket fuel. You can buy it in shops already made up if you want and it isn't as alcoholic as normal wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Fucking Sangria man, its minging. The Spanish are right pikeys when it comes to mixed wine drinks. The one thing i cant get my head round is Kalimotxo, which is a Basque name but they drink it all over. Its red wine and coke! I think it comes from Cuba Libre and not being able to afford decent rum so they mix the coke with table wine which is i suppose not too different from the desire to mix drinks with red bull nowadays. Anyway, our lass's dad's birthday lunch today. 2 bottles of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
