Ah that's family for ya.. I used to know someone like that but with texts, we had buttons on our phones in them days and she could text without looking at the keypad :pac:

Surreptitious

Madness. I better try and get sleep. I plan on a lie in and if my housemate starts hoovering or some crap in the morning there will be hell to pay. I told my friend tonight I was going to bed at 9 PM and here I am. Hope your night goes ok.

Waiting for daybreak. Great moon out there last night. Feels like Halloween.

Gremlinertia

Going to ctach sunrise too?

But now that he sold the company, its time to seek a new one.

Insufficient priviledges to watch that??

Woke up about half hour ago with cramp in my calf. OOOWWW. Still stuffed head and sore throat.Still no other symptoms. Still no temperature. If anything, I feel a little better than yesterday so overall my confidence that this is a much more benign virus than COVID is high. Waiting for the Ibuprofen to kick in to ease my throat then I'll scrub and sanitise my hands, mask up and pad down stairs for a coffee.

How’s that GREM?

Thanking you haha funny ad

The Gin isn’t bad either :)

Unfortunately it lost its spirit when this happened, 2020Alcohol giant Diageo is buying a fast-growing gin brand co-owned by Ryan Reynolds in a deal worth up to $610 million.

Gremlinertia

Ugh. I hope he doesn't stay on as some sort of brand ambassador

Poochie05

I have had that gin Smurf and it’s nice, but not easily available. Guess that's about to change now Diageo have bought it...

Morning! Forecast isn’t bad today, might get some clothes line dried but first, coffee...

Afternoon all it’s cool enough out there today. Work isn’t so bad today and I’m taking it handy

Purple Mountain

Treating myself to a sandwich lunch in a pub and then hairdresser at 3pm.
Feeling very inferior with all this gin debate, no idea what you're talking about.

Leg End Reject

It's nice here too, but rain expected.

Time to go shopping, raging I left it til today as town and supermarket will be busy.

Before it became trendy in the last few years, I would have been talking to myself! :pac:
I’m a great believer in picking a drink you like and to hell what others think, no point forcing yourself because you 'should' like it. Before I discovered gin, I experimented with Babycham :eek:
Enjoy your afternoon, a little pocket of normality

Sephiroth_dude

Just home from the park, in a bit of a funk today and can't shake it, was beautiful down the park all the same, nice to see the internal waterways full of water.

What in the name of jaysis is baby cham poochie?

Poochie05

Babycham is a sparkling Perry, cider made with pears. Was sweet and bubbly, perfect for beginners



And seems to be still available today

How very retro of you Poochie

@Sephers, this really was a very popular drink with young ladies.

God, I'm old!


When I was two and a half, my sister and cousins fed me Baby Chams at my cousins wedding. Apparently, I loved them and got incredibly ****faced. My mother, none the wiser, had me a the DR's the next day. If the writers of Shameless are ever looking for new material....

Ritz was another perry I think.

Sardonicat

Ritz was my drink of choice (excluding Babychamgate) when I first started going out mid-late 80s. Lovely.

Trigger Happy

Saturdays are supposed to be a day of rest but I am wrecked from doing stuff. The couch is winking at me...

Bacardi Breezers and Smirnoff Ice. Ahh those were the days

Can't believe babycham is still sold. There was another little bottle of something... It was green!! What was it!?

Edit: Snowball!

Snowballs and Babycham were the height of sophistication many years ago , especially at Christmas time , in my memory anyway :pac:

Thats the thing, isnt it ? Both have Spirits. Young ladies couldnt be seen drinking spirits. This was in the era of Faith and Morals supervised by McQuaide.:D

I once heard that Ritz was known as the 'leg opener'.
I used to drink the smirnoff ice myself and to try look cool a pernod and blackcurrant even though I had no idea what pernod was.

Anyone drinks Buck's Fizz? I think they call them mimosas now.

Back from the meeting at one of my neighbour’s apartments...

...turns out that the issue of the clamping of residents’ cars and the lack of adequate bins is the least of our worries. It seems that one person on the Management Company/Residents Committee has been telling us porkies for the past 5 years and that the managing agents have been keeping us all in the dark, except when to notify us of yet another fee increase without any justification...and

...the accounts for the past three years simply do not add up in any way, despite supposedly being audited....the plot thickens...

PM , I think it was the Pernod that was called the leg opener :eek:

It's lashing rain here , well , somewhat typical for what would have been EP weekend.

I'd say there's a certain level of cooking in the majority of management company books.

When I was looking to buy management fees were one of the reasons I didn't go with the new build near me.

Complete lack of value for money.

I am so over this weather.

I don't mind rain, I'll happily throw myself infront of the TV, but this "it's nice and sunny let's go out... Get everyone organised... Its p*ssing rain... Get everyone unorganised and the sun is back out" pretty much on an hourly cycle... Is doing my feckin head in.

Well mam, I can definitely tell you that it certainly was not that
Yea, indeed another momentous weekend that's not happening this year.
I'll miss the ploughing at the end of this month, it's an annual day out for myself and the small fella.
