Only if you run it past me first Broom.

Oh, alcohol and NN, now you're talking. Well you do fall asleep eventually but only after you have had a rave all by yourself. I have fond memories of going to a posh spa hotel thingy with my poorly friend who spent all day in bed illing, but dosed herself up on NN in order to come out for the evening. And she drank. Quite alot. It was hilarious. then she slumped unconconcious somewhere IIRC.

Mind you I've seen her do that a few times without the NN as well.

Petardiers were those in the army of yesteryear who used to be sent up to hammer live greened type things onto castle doors, and of course many of them blew up with the grenade type thing as they could not get away fast enough. look here

Then the Bard used it, from Hamlet, just means that what you started out to do back fires.

Thank you. I know what it means (thought did not know the army bit, I thought it was to do with flagpoles Xmas Grin) but I didn't know if you mean it backfired on the ones bitching about Royalty or the supposed Royals.

Dear Shirley

Please may I become a lady?

I offer you a hair grip, a penny and some fluff in exchange.

Thank you

OtterBaubles · 22/12/2011 20:07

These ... and milk drinks. Are they with warm milk? I'd quite like something hot and alcolholic.

DH always makes vast quantities of Snowballs on Christmas eve. Lovely.

speaking of weird alcohol combinations, I won that competition with Baileys and blue curacao.

candytuft63 · 22/12/2011 20:14

Pah ! Cupcakes my bottom. They are BUNS !

AdditionMultiplication · 22/12/2011 20:14

Can I throw in an idea? Is this the 'conversation' that derails a certain time of year? ;)

I love Baileys.

GeraldineHoHoHobergine · 22/12/2011 20:15

What irrational hatred? How dare you! Argh....rave....mutter.....hic

PointyLittleDonkeyEars · 22/12/2011 20:15

No, no, no, no, no.

Chilled bison grass vodka and fresh apple juice is all you need.

If that's royalty related then obviously I'm a long-lost descendant of Czar Nicholas II and should probably try to rule Russia, but I can't be bothered.
