to think that wine o'clock is essential

[FunnysInTheGarden]

and without it we would all be on valium? I mean everybody has something to dull the existential pain of existence

oh lolling loudly here. 'Just the one Mrs Wembley' has been a catch phrase here for years.........What TV prog was it from?

What is so good terrible is that there is so much existential pain of existence to dull :o

I dont think it is essential at all. I think drinking every day is bad for you and is a crutch.

I have drank once in 20 months, then I didn't even get merry.

I'd hate to be with someone who drank every day, especially at home it's a somewhat sad past time.

there really is a whole lot Whatme, on a day to day basis. I am 40 and have seen a whole life of EPOB. And I've had a good lyfe.

Fabby you sound like a hoot. What drugs are you on?

Incidentally it's pass time

Fabby and Funny - it's actually pastime

And I love wine. :)

I've never been a big drinker, but I can't drink anymore at all since being diagnosed with epilepsy in the spring. It's a proper ball ache, when dh and I go out I can't drink and am not allowed to drive and he can't have a drink as he has to drive! It's a full on night out with the pantaloons duo I can tell you! FUN fun fun.

The odd thing is I mainly used to be the driver and wasn't bothered at all about having a drink, now if we are out I quite miss it.

past time, pastime, pastime

so funny, you lot
I have touched the edge of dangerous drinking
I knew there was life to be lived without it
was like a massive lightbulb exploding in my head
I'm in a proper place in my head now

fucked the first sentence up
lol

Trinity I know what you have been though. Sorry to sound glib

Tonight my ds projectile vomited all over the floor. The food had been in there for about 3 hours, so was highly rancid.

It took a lot of cleaning up. Then I blocked the toilet with kitchen paper

Have had 2 large as a consequence

I find it really bizarre that people have a few drinks on their own at night, or find alcohol relaxing. I dont think I have ever had a drink to chill out or felt the need to have a glass of wine while sat on my own at night!

If you pour 2 at a time they are not on their own :o

Funnys It was On The Up - awful but quite sweet at the same time. Sort if thing that could be on now on a Sunday tea-time, iykwim.

sort of thing

Haven't been drinking, honest.

I love wine, but wine doesn't love me (any more). So, it's cups of tea all the way. Time for tea is almost as good as wine o clock (or at least that's what I keep telling myself).

And yep, count me in as part of the bizarre club (when not bfing).

What does annoy me tho is people who plaster all over facebook how much they have drank or what number pint they are now on. Including when they are out. Like saying im out with so n so in blah blah having a great night. Then go on to have a full conversation on their status with the person they are out with! Yea seems like an awesome night sat in the corner of a bar talking to eachother on facebook!

SouthStar I saw a cartoon in a magazine like that

It was a couple in a restaurant and the Woman says to the Man (while they're fiddling with their phones) "I don't know what's worse, you Tweeting the details of our date, or me following it!"

Sad but oh so true

I don't drink, I don't admit to it either because occasionally I have to and almost always get told I must be a sanctimonious prick or the equivalent within minutes of admitting it.

I find it frustrating as it's people I have had a laugh with and so on say shit like your such good fun, you'd be even better if you drank?

Why do people who do drink think I am a tosser because I don't?

Ah, MrsWembley, it's a phrase in our household too!
I can still sing the entire theme tune to 'On the Up' as well , which I probably shouldn't admit.

We had 'vodka o'clock' on a Friday, can't really indulge as am 8+ months pregnant, but soon...soon....

My dh has wine every night more or less, I am a tea granny.
