I got very drunk on pernod too. And it smells awful when you're sick [yuk!]

I had my hair cut like Phil Oakey, short on one side and long on the other. My mum nearly had a coronary lol!

littlemadam · 18/10/2006 18:15

Pernod and black - once sick, never repeated!!

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 18/10/2006 18:18

I can't drink it anymore. Can't stand the smell.

Used to drink Cherry B and cider regularly. And Barley Wine, bought from the offy when underage.

FIMBOnABroomstick · 18/10/2006 19:02

We used to drink Cider & Blackcurrant

Can anyone shed any light on why Katie Rocket's posts were deleted ppppppurrrlleeeaaaassseeee.

Cod, I think you need to stiffen up the entry requirements to weed out any potential members who whilst they are crashing towards or well past 40 may have nevertheless failed to acquire the essential weariness, pursed-mouth disapproval, disenchantment and general realisation that they are not going to change the world after all even if they were to summon up the energy to make a start on it say sometime in the middle of next week because they are just not so sure now what exactly they would change, that truly marks out an old bugger.

oh god I got so drunk on rum at the first Reggae Sunsplash that I spent the whole of King Sunny Ade's set vomiting in the bog and my bf with whom I went never forgave me (as he had to look after me)

katierocket · 18/10/2006 19:44

Ha Ha, I asked for it to be deleted - i thought it might result in MN being sued. It was about some well known 80s popstars and what they have become....

southeastastralplain · 18/10/2006 19:45

wish i'd seen your post now katierocket after seeing the madness of boy george last night!

MadameMorticiaMills · 18/10/2006 20:02

No, Rimmel - see my post! Oh yes, and Bon Bon. You could get them in small sizes that you slid up, rather than twisting! Better for our pocket money!
