I thought I might watch Dallas, perhaps that new Brookside and maybe Robin of Sherwood.
I might even open up a bottle of libfraumilch or mix a pernod and black. I've got one of those new remote controls attached to the telly too.
Anyone want a seat on the sofa?

Pernod and coke is superior to pernod and black. It is the one drink that you can have a skinful the night before, wake up and have a glass of water and you are pissed again. I love it.
