I have found the solution to lockdown!!!

Espresso Martinis

I have only had one and I no longer give a shit about ANYTHING!

You're welcome.

if I'm not drinking before 5pm these days, its a good day!

I have decided frozen peas would go mushy.

I do, however, have half a pack of dried peas that I've yet to plant out.

Not sure whether sacrificing the future apocalyptic vegetable rations in a half-cut science experiment is a good idea or not, yet.

I think I need ricin and mustard, or something.

Ah, 'mirin', sorry, not 'ricin'. Don't mind me ... [footers about with chilli powder, Vim and some lentils]

I think I need ricin and mustard, or something.

Oh that made me properly laugh out loud!

It would certainly deal with CV if you wiped out the population with your home made offerings! :o:o

@ScrimpshawThe Second I found an ancient dried soup mix (which I did cook - we survived) I noticed dried peas picked some out & planted them - they have started grow

This thread has proper cheered me up! Cheers OP and all. I'm having a vodka and soda... shortly to be followed by pizza

@dontdragyourfeet

I cant drink a Skinny Bitch without the addition of lime, you are hardcore!

@Scrimpshawthesecond ricin? Fucking hell and I thought wasabi was playing with fire....

@PyongyangKipperbang you are very hilarious on the martinis.

DP/Ex/it’scomplicated got so blotto on espresso martinis on Christmas Day he fell asleep at the dining table by five o clock. I had to eat all the cheese myself.

Tonight I have had two huge glasses of Pinot Grigio blush and no dinner (unless you count the bag of garlic pita chips I scoffed) and my field of fucks is barren.

@sidge
We need to schedule an official "Barren Field of Fucks" online party!

@PyongyangKipperbang to be fair I've also had a wine or two, so I'm mostly just tasting soda right now

Stick some gin in it @Dontdragyourfeet, take the edge off :o

I'm a recovering alcoholic and this lockdown is doing a number but loving this thread, living vicariously through y'all!

I start a week's course of antibiotics tomorrow so no more gin for me until next weekend. A week of lockdown without gin

I did however just make DDs day by doing not one but TWO TikTok video things with her. Fun mum is fun. Yes, she's still up because time doesn't seem to work like it used to do.

It's wibbley wobbley timey wimey stuff, to quote the utterly lush David Tennant.

@PyongyangKipperbang yes please.

I have spent lockdown alone with two teenage girls, one of whom is disabled/autistic. I am working from home (NHS) and losing the will to live.

If Covid doesn’t get me cirrhosis will. Pah.

Keep the faith @Southsideowl

@SouthsideOwl ah man that’s tough. Be strong 💪🏻 And laugh at all the drunk fools on here. We aim to please

@Sidge

My eldest has cerebal palsy so although its not the same, I empathise.

You me and anyone else who wants to join in, entrance fee is a bottle of something at least 30% proof and a no sense of embarassment!

My OAP dad has been brewing his way out of lockdown boredom I can offer gin, vodka, rum and liqueurs if you want to go a bit posh.

@123bananas

Is he single?

Asking for a friend.....

I’ve now had two large guns but god I want to open another bottle!

Fucksake GINS I’m quite the pacifist

Aldi Vin de Pays Herault Rose here ( so one of the ‘upmarket ones’). Very acceptable !

@Pyong Yes, but you'd have to be happy drinking whisky and red wine to keep him company 😂

@helpfulperson if you give it a go, do let me know 😉
Could we start a make your own liquor crafting session? For all those who missed the original message I posted, you too can make homemade tia Maria for espresso martinis with vodka, sugar, coffee and the bbc recipe🤪
