OT : Allez Blancs

In the next few hours I forsee Adnams Broadside, flaming black sambuca shots
for every try England score, tension, great jubilation or abject despair,
more Adnams Broadside - then some spicy non descript far eastern foodstuffs.

I also forsee a proper hangover tomorrow.

 

I am a litre of 1664 to the good, and a three-litre box of Celliers des
Dauphin by my seat.

I shall shout myself hoarse if we win, but sadly, I think it's unlikely.
Still an amazing achievement to have got to the finals - for the second
time in a row.

 

The place de Clichy is _hoaching_ with English folk this evening.

D.

 

Tea and a spliff here.

We will have none of that defeatist talk if you don't mind.

No mean achievement to be special and English rugby is.

 

My boss did that last year for the Chicago Bears superbowl. Threw a big
party with a bottle of Patron for shots every time the Bears scored.

Half way through, they switched to drinking every time the opponents
scored, cos the wanted to drink the tequila.

Aww... Never mind, perhaps Scotland'll make the final next time.

Or the time after that. Or the time after that. Or the time after that.
Or the time after that. Or the time after that. Or the time after that.
Or the time after that. Or the time after that. Or the time after that.
Or the time after that. Or the time after that. Or the time after that.

Maybe.

Hmmm. I though you had better taste.... Cellier des Dauphins... that's
what the drunkards run on here.

 

Drinking to forget then...

It's what I used to drink too, when I knew nothing about French culture.

Yes? And?

S'only a game, mate.

That'd be the normal porridge wog balance of a chip on both shoulders?

 

<Taps fingers>

Come on, Bd.

It's what's known in the Chateau as 'sausage wine'. We buy it because
it's cheap drinkable plonk, to be eaten with sausages, burgers,
whatever.

This *always* backfires, because eventually we've drunk all the sausage
wine, and are left with the nice stuff (of which there is usually a
considerable quantity, in the Chateau), and so find ourselves drinking
premier cru whatever...

....with sausages.

 

(of Cellier des Dauphins)

And you end up with the mother of all headaches the next morning.

D.

 

Heh, I knew you'd have an excuse.

 

A chip? A whole fucking field full of spuds by the look of it.

 

I'm not against cheap wine (I don't drink Bordeaux Grand Crus that often
either...), but for little more you find quite better wine around here
(especially if, unlike most French, you look at foreign wines).

Aw, yes... so the problem isn't lack of good wine, it's lack of good
food... dereliction at its best then... if I find someone going your
way, I'll pass along some decent saucisson. A pity I just finished those
I brought back from Corrèze (2 months of delicate drying). The one with
Auvergne Blue Cheese was a real treat...

 

He's been led astray by Shitsack and I singing its praises.
