I’m old and miss all the irrelevant tosh that we used to gibber about. 😁

I'm in bed with a belly full of wine and it's only 8 o'clock but it's been a shit week and I needed it. Hope you're all ok xx

No, but I feel intrigued!

Kangarude · 28/08/2026 20:36

Yes, I remember them. Wasn’t it ā€˜scouse’ or ā€˜scoose’ who used to start them?

No, but I feel intrigued!

It was just an online get together, drinking and chatting about anything and everything. They could be fun

Oh that's going back a bit!!! I had a different name then. It was good getting drunk and talking nonsense.

AndyKitten · 28/08/2026 20:38

It was a sweary drunk Friday thread.

It is a long while since I saw a Friday night drinks thread. To be fair, it’s been a good few years since I drank at home. Used to love a bottle of wine on a Friday

I've had a really difficult year month week day so I'm very tempted to pop open the wine I have chilling in the fridge! It's a free birthday gift from M&S.

@FatMrsHootyou should definitely have the wine šŸ·

Kangarude · 28/08/2026 20:41

Do it MrsHoot. Sounds like you deserve it. I think I have a couple of bottles in the garage fridge. Hmmmm

Libre2 · 28/08/2026 20:41

Yes. - I remember them! Different name back in the day though. I am not drinking tonight but don’t have my glasses on so the effect may be similar.

I heard some things at work yesterday I wish I could unhear.

Bur I can’t, so I might have a second glass of wine.

stargirl1701 · 28/08/2026 20:44

I do!

FannybygaslightinGovan · 28/08/2026 20:45

Perhaps you should all consider you may have a drinking problem...

Only joking šŸ˜‚ it's me who has the drinking problem - I have two hands and only one mouth šŸ˜‚

Toftiredtothink · 28/08/2026 20:48

Hey i dont remember the initial thread, but I'm up for this . Just finishing third and final glass of wine after week / month from hell

EconomyClassRockstar · 28/08/2026 20:49

I do! I'd join you all but it's not even 4pm here so it miiiiiight be a little bit early.

I only mentioned the Friday night bar on a thread this week. It used to be very funny.

No, it was at the start of the month!

It wasn’t unusual for a poster to wander into the thread and accuse us of having a drink problem and talking rubbish šŸ˜‚

Shloopie · 28/08/2026 20:52

Now you'd get a strong reproof for encouraging binge drinking, reported to MNHQ for being drunk in charge of a keyboard, and told you were 'absolutely vile'.

wineosaurus4 · 28/08/2026 20:52

@ToftiredtothinkWhy final? Don’t leave us..
