Tugging your tiny wiener at predictive text Bell? They say little things please tiny minds.
Come off it, Skids!
You meant to write that.
I bet you were pissing your pants when you came up with that nickname!
I don't blame you. We both know that it would have Pinkie hopping with rage!
As I say, it's the best you've come up with, by a very, very long way.
You ever had Merlyn?
Stronger tasting and less sweet than Bailey's, very nice. Got one bottle on the ferry this summer and getting another to give to one of our project team, who will never receive it!
Similarly a bottle of Penderyn malt. Also got a bottle of Talisker on the way, not that I drink that at Christmas. Prefer Thai if I'm honest.
The Gin of choice with be Tanquaray and that's it for spirits. Will probably be given some stuff, if anyone (suppliers etc.) asks I'll go for port.
Got plenty wine left from summer but it's mostly white, got a Majestic wines voucher for red, or at least towards it.
Beer to be ad hoc. Also got Nectar rewards which buys that usually.

I agree Merlyn is better than Baily's. The gin from Lidl is worth a go called Hortus £15
Might get that then.
Although there usually an offer of some sort leading up to Christmas when Tanquaray or Bombay will be reduced. Just got to wait for then.
You any idea what Sipsmiths is like? Supposed to be good.
Hendricks is vile. What's all the cucumber bollocks all about?

That's decent, need a few more bottles....both Sainsbury and Tesco doing 25% off 6 or more bottles of wine at the moment
...got myself a case of Chateau Neuf at the weekend... worked out at just less than £9 a bottle ... me sorted for Xmas ...

Leibfraumilch again, this year, Bambi?
... one comma too many, Quentin ... and having lived in an off licence for 20 years from the age of 3, I've no doubt forgotten more about wine than you will ever know
Why do you add extra punctuation?

Wouldn't have thought an off liscence would be an education in wine?

Yeah, of course you did, Bambi.
I bet the first words out of your mouth were "Pass the ****ing whiskey, Mama!" weren't they, mate?

It is grammatically correct, Luvvy.
I cannot account for the ignorance of others, nor will I.
It isn't, Luvvy.
The bloke is talking through his A-hole, yet again.
In fact, working in an off-licence is the very kind of place where one is more than likely to learn about Leibfraumilch, Black Tower, and Blue Nun, as opposed to the better wines.
Unless, of course, Bambi, at age 3, ran the offy in Harrods?

Old man loved his wine ...when we went to the wholesalers as well as the stock for the shop he would love to visit the bit where you could buy the expensive stuff in ones and twos ... the offy had a cellar and in the first few years there we actually sold draught beer in the shop ... the old man was paricularly fond of good red french wine ... nothing daft .. Nuit St Georges and Chateau Neuf Du Pape were amongst the regulars ... partly why I just bought a case of the latter ... takes me back
