OT Stilton and Jaffa Cakes

Good call.... I bought some of that from a farmers market in Gap when we
stopped for lunch last year.
Very nice indeed.
I'll ask why they don't stock it.

 

I used to love gimlets. If I'd thought I could have bought limes
today, as it is I have lemons. And a G&T with no lemon in it - muppet
that I am.

 

They occasionally have it at our nearest Waitrose, but not often enough.
For something rather more solid I enjoy Ossau-Iraty, and they always
seem to have that.

Fucking racists.

Fucking crap if you like English though.

Sometimes I wonder about that last accident of yours .....

I can't be arsed to google, were you knocked out at all ?

 

Sounds like you make a crap G&T, madam.

 

well, "no lemon" is OK in a G&T as long as there's a slice of lime.

In any case, G&Ts are for those who can't handle Martinis.

And Martinis are for those who can't handle Gibsons.

And Gibsons are for those who can't handle glugging gin straight from
the bottle whilst crunching a pickled onion.

 

Yes. Have you read the rest of this subthread? )

I'm not a fan of Martinis, TBH.

A what?

OK - I'll give that a go. A mate of mine pickles his own onions with
chillies. They're superb and I still have a jar.

 

exactly the same as a Martini, but with a cocktail onion instead of
the olive.

go for it.

 

Or cucumber in the case of Hendricks.

Hogarth would have a field day reading this thread.

 

Jesus. That's the thick end of a stone and a half more than me.

 

Large thread, not enough browsing time, to much work......

 

<holds hands up>

It's a fair cop guv.

I rectified the situation. No more G&T for me for while (tomorrow
night at a guess) as I've finished the bottle.

 

If only I'd thrown the baby over the banister.

looks like an *OSM.

 

I didn't know he drank. He certainly doesn't on stage[1].

[1] This is (of course) a Marillion-related comment that will be
ignored by anyone except LN.

 

You mean he drinks like a Fish?

 

What is it with drinking, or lack of it, on stage these days? Has it
been banned?

Back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for the lead singer to be swigging
almost constantly from a bottle of something, frequently JD.
I go to a fair few gigs and these days if they drink anything at all,
it's bloody bottled water! It's not exactly 'rock and roll', is it?

At least Barley Scotch[1] got through a few[2] bottles of Old Speckled
Hen last time I saw them.

*cough*

[1] Lead singer with Hayseed-Dixie
[2] At least six.
