Does anyone remember the Friday night drunk thread?

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

Fk me some amateurs on here. I've had a bottle of champagne and most of a bottle of rose. Had a shocking cancer scare and it's taken three weeks to tell me all is ok so I need to let my hair down.

This is my favourite post in a long time.

The drunken thread was before my time but I’m definitely up for joining a new one! Used to be a two-drinks-a-week gal but all that changed when I moved country and my personal/social life dramatically improved.

DH and I shared a bottle of sparkling wine in bed while watching One Fine Day in bed.

It’s been a very stressful week, we were out drinking with friends Monday night, then had a couple of beers on Wednesday night too. We’ve got a friend’s leaving party tonight which will be a boozy affair so I may come back to this thread then šŸ‘€

I’m the one with the rather dramatic pulmonary embolism and the equally dramatic goings on with the man who came to fix my pipes and had a look of Daniel Craig about him. Remember children: correlation is not causation.

He’s still in the kitchen, funnily enough.

I remember us all nagging you to get checked out I'm so glad you listened and glad things worked out with the builder

@RosieLeaLovesTea OMG we’re talking years ago 10 maybe 15 years ago I’m guessing (possibly longer) i was always drunk on Friday nights šŸ˜‚ so memories sketchy.

Using the Gregorian Pulmonary Embolism Calendar System, all that malarkey was in the summer of 2013.

Which just proves that drunk threads save lives.

It did, my husband died from a pulmonary embolism three years ago I wish he had listened to me he would still be here

RosieLeaLovesTea · 29/08/2026 18:33

Well after my drunkest last night I had to have an afternoon nap from 2pm-4pm. I have not done that in a long time. But feel really good now. Debating whether to crack open another bottle. It is bank holiday weekend!

I’m at my local watching the Spurs v Newcastle match (Up the Toon!) and during G&T. I may call on here later a bit worse for wear 😁

Scoose, I am so, so sorry to hear that. I used to be on the DTs and you’d often mention your DH. Bloody hell, that’s awful Flowers

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.

Oh I’m annoyed now as it’s my birthday tomorrow and I’ve not got anything from M&S for mine (presumably Sparks?) and I spend a fortune there!

Yes! I was really surprised, definitely cheered me up. I don't know how those gifts are allocated.

I’m still buying tat wine at the Asdas.

Morrisons are having a phase of having a featured £12ish wine at £6ish. Bargainous.

Thank you! Are they doing it in all the colours?

I like Morrisons pitta bread so might be worth a trip down there in the HotBuilderMobile.

I’ve had both red and white but not in the same week. They sometimes have a special display and you sometimes have to hunt them down on the shelves but there’s been at least one for about the last 4 weeks. Hope it wasn’t an August special!

Sorry to read about your DH @Scoose Flowers
And glad to read that the ā€˜hot builder’ is still in the house.

Yes, usualsuspect did get ā€˜side bollocks’. I’d forgotten that šŸ˜‚

I used to follow the drunk thread. I recognise a few names on here- @DramaAlpaca , @cardibach and @iCod . Blowed if I can remember what my username was, maybe secretsquirrel? Must be a good ten years or more ago? I might have been on the higher ed threads when both DC were at uni.

DramaAlpaca · 30/08/2026 16:22

@TheOttey ooh, I'm sure I remember you as secretsquirrel Smile
