A Pernicious Trend ?

I was first drunk on Martini Rosso and Coke at a party when I was 15 - disgusting sweet stuff - bloody hell it is 24 years ago this weekend :o
 
Precocious child then, Rory! :D

Well K - let's not delve too deeply into the 14 year old experimentations - I remember spending an entire day in bed one summer the night after one of my parents' shindigs - something to do with a lot of everything, in particular gin & peach schapps.... :ph34r:

Time flies when you're pissed. :D [/b][/quote]

If only
 
Oh, Jesus no - there have been loads!!! Not to mention those days when I've gone into work, knowing that I wasn't even capable of putting my clothes on too!! That was the first all-dayer though....

(oh, and thank you for recognising that I am under 30 still!! One of my colleagues kept launching into "you're only 30" at the start of his "why are you wasting your life working with us/in this industry/why don't you emigrate to Australia if you want to?" type of speeches, despite repeatedly having it pointed out to him that I still have around 18 months to go until I hit 30!!)

It was Diamond White for me in the park.

I remember those days. And, if you wanted to get really drunk you could mix it with Castaway for a Blastaway!

Then after a year or so of those I progressed to 20/20 which was another foul concoction. Fortunately I discovered vodka soon afterwards.
 
Been there, done that too!!

Whisky I only ever drank once. I drank a litre of it in 45 minutes listening to Bob Dylan at the Phoenix festival in 1997 and woke up 18 hours later in hospital. Never again!!
 
Curiously enough, after losing contact with my friend Eve (who was the accomplice for the gin & peach-schanpps fest) for probably 12 years, I noticed tonight that she has signed up to friends reunited and have got back in contact. Just seems strange that I was thinking about her today for the first time in years and then her name pops up! She was a right partner in crime - and one hell of a wild child; yet was the first of all of us to settle down, get happily married and have kids!
 
I'm a Bulmers convert since Christmas - a lot of people are doing the same. In this weather at the moment, in a pint glass with ice after a long day, its close to perfection. Mind, you after about four you feel like you've swallowed a sweet shop so best to move on to something else. but for that relaxing after work first pint - spot on. Can't go wrong.
 
Shadz - I've also got in touch with an old (as in 61!) riding/skoolmate, who I haven't seen since 1964. I remember cringing when she said her Mother had told her to be more like me - 'a model child' :what: and less wild and crazy. She went seriously boy-bonkers while I remained a horsey bore (no change there, then), married, had two kids, and unmarried herself ten years later, but is now settled with a Jack Russell, the granddaughter visiting, and games of Scrabble! I'll be visiting her in Nottingham next month, and it'll be fun to see how we've changed - or not - in the ensuing decades. She must still be a bit mad, though, because after her divorce she decided to give herself a new name. Coming from a Largs background, she chose to go Scottish and now calls herself Dunbar because she likes the sound of it! Perhaps I'll decide to become Cholmondeley-Featherstonehaugh...
 
Hey, wonder what I should change my name to then??!!

Nah, Eve was the original wild child - younger than me, yet a lot, lot more bady behaved! She took her parents' divorce badly and rebelled badly at 14.
 
On the other hand, there's the gloriously-named owner, Miss Scott-Balls, and Lingfield's very own Ronnie Toft, who has an ROA swipe card naming him as Mr. Ronnie Beau-Lockes. Apparently done as a bit of a joke to see if Weatherbums would spot it, he was amazed when it came back as noted.
 
Mind you, plenty gets past them - for example, how did Knickerless manage it??!!!! There were lots of shit jokes in the office such as "don't get your pants pulled down with this one.." :rolleyes:

Surely Ronnie De Beau-Lox Kri? He's not the only Beau-Lox registered with Weatherbys either!!
 
It says on Bulmers cans,made in Clonmel,I know I was reading one while drinking from it last night!
Best drink when its hot,only time all year I drink it.Having worked in pub in Newmarket I'm more than used to all lads asking for Bulmers during the sales,other barmaids look at them like their mad!(Which they prob are!)
 
They were selling Magners at Windsor on Monday night so I insisted the OH had a pint of it after the discussions on here. I am not a great lover of cider so I declined, but he really liked it.
 
It's great stuff and as Bobbyjo says particularly at this time of year in the beer garden.

Been drinking it a while (since last September) and our hurling chairman used to swear by the stuff. Was 2 4 1 on all bottles in the Nelson (under new management but was notoriously rough) last Saturday night, was great not having to pay £2.70 a bottle for it.

Oh yeah ~ if it's so good how come your chairman is hurling then?? :lol:
 
Nicely put Rory :D

Can't stand cider myself, my mother sometimes gets that Merrydown stuff when its stupidly hot in the summer, but I just don't get the attraction!
