I've been sitting in the Lounge at Gatwick for almost 3 hours steadily drink their "free" alcohol. I've another hour and a bit until the flight. The sad part is I've been in the UK office today and yesterday but left the office at lunch time so I could "get to my flight on time" . With the sole purpose of getting here early to have a Friday afternoon drink! You can take the boy out of Hawthorn Ave but......
How do you blag free beer? I was in Birmingham International not so long ago, fiver a pint in the weathers.
I'm currently on an Aberfeldy Single Malt with a beer on the side, London Pale Ale. It's not always a good sign when I choose to "double up". I started off on Gin and Tonics and surprisingly they had 3 Gins on offer - which isn't bad for a lounge. I also had a little sojourn in the middle with some Pinot, "to pace myself" but the glasses were so small I was just knocking it back.
Been and gone now mate. They've done a good job doing it out. I'm flat out on the sun bed in the garden now. Love afternoon drinking me.
Can't find the gin thread so I'll put it here. Mrs: I was in asda today and they've got that King of Soho gin you really like. Me: did you get me a bottle. Mrs: no get it yourself. Charming, Anyway I've tried king of soho at the gin festival and it's really good. A definite recommend. I'm off there tomorrow if anyone wants one picking up.
I've been invited to a party in London next week, being hosted by Tanqueray Gin. I don't like gin, but I'll probably be popping along anyway.
Where does Ada live? I may pop round if she plys you with bottles of gin for getting in her. I'd want the gin upfront mind.
