Whatcha Drinking? v. Drunk Driver: "Don't make me stupid"

[Mailmonkey]

i'm working my way through a pint of ribena, two strong coffees, and a pint of Badgers golden Promise...

 

[Albion]

Good ole fashioned

for me

For the record that's water, not vodka.

 

[Mailmonkey]

[Albion]

Posh water out of a month old powerade bottle.

Just how I rollllll.

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

I strained the sloe & damson gin i made in october, still tastes raw as fuck, it needs another 6 months but that doesn't stop me circling it like a shark. A cup of tea while I delay the inevitable.

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

hippy ^ LOL

 

[badandwicked]

lol you can't beat a good forage in a hedgerow its made to my grandads recipe who was a poacher turned gamekeeper - nothing hippy about him

You then dump 5 litres of scrumpy over the gin soaked sloes and leave that for 6 weeks to make deliciously lethel Slider. I'll post pics if you're a good girl this evening.

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

[badandwicked]

Nigerian Guinness, from my local offy, of all places.

Aside from the Belgian Special Export, this is the best bottled Guinness in the world.

NSFW:

Notice the red tab. A distinction that has sice been reinforced with the word 'Nigerian' on the band at the top of the bottleneck.

Whiskey and coke, only got coke in it cause its cheap shite, if it was malt would just be ice!

 

[Myshkin]

Give us a swig, will yer?

 

[Bluebell]

Give us a swig, will yer?

I discovered the wonder that is Thai cider last night. Atomic Nuclear Cider it's called from the Full Moon Winery, promises to be seriously strong but the bottle claims only 5%. Was really nice and cheap too so I'll be drinking more of it tonight.

As the Chinese basically invented apples the Far-East should really be full of cider. But isn't.

 

[breakcorefiend]

if my memory serves me right the first apple was from Kazakhstan?

was it the chinese who tempeted Adam and Eve with there apples.

Kazakhstan was where Alexander The Great found the first apples which were brought back to Europe for cultivation as the forerunner of the modern apple, but the waters are muddy - there are accounts of apples all over the shop in European / middle eastern myths and folkore that pre-date Alexander. Bogman gives the most notable example.

There's no doubt the plant originated in Asia, but my anti-pop-Orientalism streak makes me very suspicious of 'the Chinese / Indians / other Asians invented everything' school of thought. Which I'm sure SHM doesn't belong to by the way.

I'd rather people's postcolonial guilt manifested itself through buying hip-hop records than witness the truly awful spectacle that usually results when Whitey decides to go 'Eastern'. Almost.

Fucking hell, didn't realise I was being contentious. Is it a myth the Taiwanese invented squirrels then? Hong Kong/sliced bread? Nepal/mephedrone?

I'm so out of touch these days.
