    We're usually well on in by now. Is Lambo suppressing all talk of booze or sommat?

    This year's going to be quite a dry one for me. Our lass is currently pregnant and craving all forms of alcohol. Consequently, she gets the hump whenever I drink in front of her.

    Add to that, I'll be spending most of Christmas day with her family and apparently they're not much for drinking on Xmas day. <yikes>

    So far I've just got a bottle of port from marks and sparks, that I'll supp with my cheese board. (Currently another bone of contention with our lass).

    But what about the rest of you booze hounds, real ale bores and tiresome single malt snobs...

    Where's the bargains to be had.

    What's going down at aldi.

    Are Tesco still doing that deal where you get about 52 bottles of wine for the price of 4.

    As I've said before OLM, I've seen more old drunks than I've seen old Doctors.

    Congrats on losing your virginity triple h. How many seconds?

    That's what you need the booze for really aint it.

    There's a certain little white powder which also works miracles in that department.

    It's the social gatherings that can be the hardest there. But you don't need a twat like me to patronise you on the dos and don'ts.

    Some of the 'old' drunks I've known are much younger than they appear.

    Kayli is more chrysalised than sherbet, sherbet is more powdery.
