Now thinking of a second mojito... Are there any cocktails featuring strongbow, i wonder, idly, brain slowly getting to grips with mix of perma-tiredness and mojito...Verbal wrote:Could be worse...could be drinking strongbow...William the White wrote:Gone 8.00.

Wednesday evening and I'm drinking a mojito...

I don't know whether you would call snakebite and black a cocktail, but it is a deadly mixture certainly (and for the great unwashed amongst us, only a pound for a pint of it at McCauleys on Wednesdays)William the White wrote:Now thinking of a second mojito...

Just got back in after spending four hours at working printing, slicing and folding CD labels and covers for a publicity push. Dull, repetitive, RSI-inducing work. Beer's still off the menu so I swerved by the offie for a £14 three-litre deathbox of, it says here, Namaqua South African red. First glass is working. See you on the flipside.

Noticed you'd gone onto boxes of wine at the weekend. Dangerous stuff. Especially in our house, where it had just upped our wine consumption by 50% over the weekend.
I'll be taking a sabbatical from this thread for a while. On a frigging diet in prep for pre-season, which starts three weeks tomorrow.

Ah, snakebite and black.

Surely snakebite and black with a shot of pernod in it must be a cocktail? Known as a "Red witch" when I drank it.
As a youth, I always wanted to be a goth.

You know lifes taken a turn for the worse when you're on the old "bag'o'wine". I've just had seven free pints of some continental sh*t or other and will be ruing that as the clattering orchestra starts at about the same time as your goodself. Cept my teeth and gums won't be stuck together with some purrple sh*t.Gotta take the silver linings wherever you can.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Just got back in after spending four hours at working printing, slicing and folding CD labels and covers for a publicity push.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Oh, and Carr's Cheese Meltz (sic) are my Ritz things. We are not bad people, are we?
Small glass only what happened to be left in the bottle...
