Christmas Snifter

anyone sobered up yet?

Orange Matchmakers, chick??? I have spent Christmas drinking cocktail called an Almond Cigar - Havana Club, Amaretto, Vodka and a cinnamon stick. Bloody lovely. And I also made an awful lot of Clementine Margaritas, which were not only potent, but full of life-enhancing Vitamin C. Will expect some Matchmakers shortly...

Well.. today... i inadevertently went out without my knickers on... i just forgot to this morning. My six year old daughter said "MUMMY! Good job you didnt do an accidental cartwheel in the co op" Good job indeed. Though i was rather excited that they had orange matchmakers at last, i managed to contain myself cartwheel wise.

I feel all better now I'm home...I'll have a tawny port At the office party last year held in the Commonwealth club someone puked in the decorated bin containing the xmas tree. Later some-else (equally pissed) though it would be a good joke to steal the tree...plunged there hand in ...and well....we all did laugh

i say liana ... that IS showing some festive spirit ...

lol ...that is so funny... is this the same daughter who extolled poverty because it meant eating eggy bread for dinner!

ha ha no.. it is her baby sister. She is learning well. I still dont have any knickers on, but I am a whole bottle of wine down now, so I dont care. Na Zdravi all! *raises glass*

i bought a swede in kwik save! (and i didnt do any accidental cartwheels although it wouldnt have mattered if i had because i was wearing jeans) ... kwiksave is very annoying because they insist on decanting your trolley load into a new trolley which you then have to empty yet again to pack ... why do they???

oh I thought you really... nevermind... I do not understand this Kwik save trolley thing...I need another glass of port....

I think they do it for speed. I dont do kwikkies. Why do you?

No Sainsburies I guess??? *still way too sober*

....the co-op no longer exists round my way...except to do budget funerals.

oh she had a sainsburies delivery today, i happen to know. Come on Jude, catch up. Im on my second bottle here.

* glug glug burp*

hey the co op is great... i bought two bottles of fair trade cape unity wine... its going down very nicely... £4.29 a bottle. Mmm. And last year I got £39 in cash loyalty vouchers too. Bonus.

sounds good is cape unity wine from Capetown where they pay the makers cape-coloureds and Africans a decent wage? If so I'll have a glass ta...my mum is cape-coloured

it says... The cilmor cellar winery lies in the western cape region of south africa . It says to drink within 6 months of purchase... hahahah. No danger of it going off here...

oooh my mum is from that region in Kirstenbosch...she used to hide in the vineyards as a kid and scrump the grapes! is that 2 bottles all to yourself?

yessss all to myself, no one here to share. Glorious. Are we the only three degenerates here?

*Hox arrives, fully slippered and knickered, glugs wine, degenerates rapidly* [%sig%]

Welcome in Hox. I hope you've brought your own wine?

Yes, I trod the grapes myself. Which explains why these slippers are so f**king damp. [%sig%]

i just nipped in cos i need a SWEDE! i dont DO kwikkies! ... liana how COULD you?

I think Sainsbury's has really gone downhill - Debbie went yesterday as we had a £10 discount voucher if you spent £100. They didn't have white Stilton, parsnips and a whole load of other things on her list, so she spent a few quid on the things already in the trolley and went to Tesco for the rest.

Somevon called me?

pops open a bottle of organic perry , eyes the mead standing suggestively on the table....

I won a bottle of Stones Ginger Wine at a school fair recently... can anyone suggest any interesting mixes or exhilarating Cocktails with it... or should I just palm it off as a pressy to an elderly relative or the postman...

Oh no... try whiskey with it Leg...or brandy. Mmmmm

stones ginger wine is lovely, on it's own or as a mixer...

glug it down on its own .... *pours sloe gin* ... see sains delivery service is good for something ... hic

Ginger wine mixed with scotch is a "Whiskey Mac" an old cure for colds.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love bought for me: 12 Tequila slammers 11 Hundred Pipers 10 Shots of Absinthe 9 Remy Martins 8 vodka tonics 7 Cheap dry sherries 6 Bacardi Breezers 5 double gins.... 4 Smirnoff Ice 3 real ales 2 rum and cokes and a lager for 99p

I need one now - just back from the hospital where I have been severely told off for doing too much on my supposedly healing foot - and told I'll be another three months at least on crutches - but I can still go skiiing (but very gently). I'll have a very large one right now.
