Wouldn't want to add up how much money I've spent boozing over the years. I could have retired to Monaco by now.

Not good i know i haven't had a cider all week thought i would be nice change that will teach me...

Macca
18-03-2017, 22:32
Cider not beer, there's your mistake. That shit'll kill you faster than cyanide. Unless you have that Devon scrumpy where it is the cyanide in it that kills you.

No-one ever got headache from Guinness*

I've got toothache so a little tipple is in order to take the edge off it.. ;)

walpurgis
25-03-2017, 20:16
I've got a bad chest and felt like crap all week, so that's my excuse! :drunk: I'll have one (or two) later :).

Finishing off (it was started last night) a bottle of

2014 Le Grand Chai, Médoc.

Try an aspirin. It works far better for toothache than paracetamol (which you shouldn't combine with alcohol anyway).

Ninanina

Actually I've just taken some aspirin and an ibuprofen so hope that will help....:(

I really don't know Grant but I'm only having a 'little' tipple so I'm sure it can't hurt ;)

walpurgis
25-03-2017, 20:56
It can irritate the stomach.

But both paracetamol and alcohol stress the liver and in combination can be dangerous.

Ninanina

I'll definitely leave off the paracetamol then... I don't want to 'stress' my liver...;)

A good cold remedy I've used for years is freshly squeezed orange juice laced with vodka. Pint glass of, mixed about 80/20. No need for any pills after that, The vodka dulls the discomfort while the Vit C from the juice, drunk and running amok, gets right stuck in to the cold germs. No pills required.

walpurgis
25-03-2017, 21:35
No pills required.

No driving allowed either.

Ninanina

:rfl::rfl:

Absolutely...

Macca
25-03-2017, 21:46
Well you can't drive anyway you are on your sickbed.

Daytime TV choice is important to recovery too. Old episodes of 'Magnum P.I' will speed recovery whereas watching 'Star Trek: The Lame Generation' will retard it. I have all of this research scientifically documented.

Ninanina

If it's 'scientific' then it's all ok.... :lol:

Fancied a Bank Holibags dram and went on the lookout for this based on your post Grant. :)
Unfortunately the local Asdashire didn't have any in stock so took a punt on an Ardmore Legacy they had on sale for £20?
https://img.thewhiskyexchange.com/900/ardob.non1.jpg

Had a couple of nips tonight...whoa, this is really good stuff.
Strong peat without the hospital bandage aftertaste, but a spicy vanilla sweetness instead...reminds me of the Ardberg 10 but at half the price.
Be happy drinking either when Im feeling peaty, but the Ardmore gets my vote as nothings really missing and it's half the Ardberg's price.

Glad your able to enjoy a nice drop again mate. :thumbsup:

Me too. Been dry all week then overdid it a bit last night.

Water is good, cleans you out. Tap water here is very good quality, always comes out cold even in the summer.

Will have a few bevvies tomorrow instead as no work on Monday.

struth
29-04-2017, 22:09
Our water is decent but a bit soft for my liking. I drink bottled stuff by the gallon. Usually English from say Derbyshire as its got lots of minerals.

Macca
29-04-2017, 22:17
My neighbour does that, Evian by the gallon. He reckons they put stuff in the tap water to make you more docile. I asked him what made him think they aren't putting it in the Evian too LOL

Ninanina
29-04-2017, 22:20
I hate tap water.... much prefer the stronger stuff to be honest... :D

struth
29-04-2017, 22:22
LOL.... maybe he's right. The minerals, or some of them are good at protecting your liver if you rink a bit. Its one of the reasons us scots suffer more from liver problems as our water doesnt have any due to our rock formations.

Having a Church's Ginger Beer. Nice stuff this from Aldi 4%vol so about same as beer.

Had that before and it's nice, but even nicer is the Hatherwood 'The Ginger Grizzly' No6, from Lidl - awesome stuff (nice and spicy), and so refreshing in the hot weather! :cool:

Quite nice. Maybe a tad gassier than my usual but nice n gingery and a little drier I think. Overall I think I slightly prefer it Marco. I'll give it 5.... that may be before your time.;)

Marco
02-06-2017, 19:01
Lol... Dry is an accurate description, which for me is a good thing, as is the gingery bit. Quite fiery, too! I hate sugary, sweet-tasting bland ginger beers. I like to feel a bit of 'heat' on the back of my throat when drinking the proper variety!

I also find the Grizzly extremely refreshing, but it MUST be served ice-cold :cool:

Nice big bottle, too....

Will be doing some fishing at my 'secret' spot as well so hopefully will catch some nice sea bass for the bbq... tasty, very tasty... :D

I also know where in the harbour to get some lovely razor fish/clams/shells.... I will have salt at the ready!... getting them is a real crack- up... when I first got them I nearly wet myself with laughter ... :lol:

Dan that does sound very expensive... a complete exhaust for Matiz is about £60 on eBay and I can't imagine it would cost £140 to fit it.. they seem to throw them on in no time at all.... Sometimes using the same garage is not always the best/cheapest way

Just a thought... and not being funny is the car worth spending £300 on if you can get it done cheaper.. ? ;)
