Petrel's Perch

I noticed a request at the end of the over-long Ta-Chucks thread for a new drinks list. And I thought, why not start a new establishment, a modern place with lots of chrome specializing in beers, wines and cocktails?

So here we are, the opening night of Petrel’s Perch. I’ve tried to accommodate as many drinks as possible but please accept my apologies if you can’t find your one on the list - I can’t remember everyone for gawd’s sake!

Good luck with scary exam, Vicky. *realises now that re-establishing a late night drinking den when Andrew has no late-night access to computers is a bad, bad thing*

Vicky, If you are staying teetotal while preparing for exams, may I suggest a hot cup of martin_t and a slice of Mark Brown bread (hovis make a nice loaf).

Vicky

Thanks Andrew... it will take a miracle (or me being a genius) to pass as I'm just starting to revise now.... oops And it's my birthday which sucks, still that's life Stephen... that sounds delicious, though I may need something with high caffeine to help me stay awake a little later

Awwwww Happy Birthday (that does suck). Bartender, a Pioden Dai Quary for the lady with a sparkler and a bendy straw...

Stephen Gardiner

Well, Vicky, if it's a stimulant you need I can only suggest a bit of tycokaine. That'll end up a complete rokkitnite so you'll need some beef tea to bring you down.

Ahem! Sorry to break up the drunken revelry, but the Last 100 is in need of some serious attention. May I also remind you that, although booze and drugs have been known to boost the artistic bent, too much makes you look ugly.

Ah... but it makes other people look attractive Choose... so as long as they're pissed too......

purplehaze

Purplehaze Punch vodka ribena mix with either lemonde/fizzy water/champagne - depending on sweetness of tooth/concern over calorific intake/drunken orgy required serve over ice, with sliced lemons - for contrasting colours v sweet and makes your tongue purple. Excellent at parties.

purplehaze

purplehaze punch Royale replace ribena with kir, migraine guaranteed also cleverly, the same name as the hangover you'll get - 'can't come to work today, am in a purple haze'

Hazel, that sounds revolting! Choose, I liked your Coming Home piece (made me laugh because I remember my dad doing the same thing on a campsite once). I should post this on Discuss Writing board but thought it might serve as cautionary tale to the revellers.

Oi! If you ageing hippies don't quit drug peddling I'll start charging for the drinks in 60's pre-decimal currency ... LSD.

found it .... *climbs back up on to stool * why do they make these stools so dam high ?

So that they know they can refuse to serve you if you can't get onto one.

oh but what about short people - who are grannies and therefore old enough?

Thu, 2004-05-13 20:15

#38

Emma

I was in fact referring to a state of drunkenness which rendered one incapable of getting onto stool... If you are simply too short, a nice person will lift you on.

Dean Martin, a man not unfamiliar with the effects of a few recreational sherbets, had a quote I think is both pithy and appropriate to this thread: "You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on."

And the great Tommy Cooper once said 'I only drink for medicinal purposes.........i'm sick of being sober.' just like that.

wish I could go away on holiday .... people keep talking of holidays - do they have no sympathy for those of us who have to do without ?! who are forced to do without .... cruel most cruel You will tell us about it all when you get back or are you going to keep us all up todate as, when and during ... Liana I mean have a heart I have to stay here and can only live holidays through reading about yours and others ..... please

Liana

oh... you can do as i do and book a cheap flight lesley... only £40 return, and let the ones left behind fend for themselves for a week... or get someone else in to take care of them for you. (probably best for under 10 year olds) First week in July I think... havent quite decided yet... but you know, if you cant get away, fill the freezer with food for everyone else and then get out and stay out in the garden. The good weather is on its way...

Sorry Madam, the law has recently been changed and I can no longer handle fishflaps. The banana shakes are nearly ready if you fancy something to suck on?

I do go out into the garden but they find me! How you mean £40 return flight - I LIVE ON just over £40 a week ! *does countless sums in head juggling funds - could I do without my internet connection* - it would take me years to save that much ! I wish someone would hurry up and employ me ... do you know anyone searching for a good form filler ?
