PB and his fantastic followers

We needed a new thread

Very good for cleaning diamonds, apparently.

Drunk for a penny, dead drunk for tuppence and clean straw for free. Happy days, sigh...
Round here I suspect they were all slaughtered on home made scrumpy. We haven't really moved on

I'm home from work. O is having a light snack before bed

Just read up on the 1736 Gin Act. Illegal sales apart, you weren't supposed to buy it in quantities of less than 2 gallons, which to me is positively encouraging people to club together with their mates for a group discount!

....less than 2 gallons???

Yes, 2 gallon minimum purchase

It's all artificial high Spice round here, well, at the tube. It ain't pretty - skeletal youths jerk and flail about retching babble.

They can't walk properly, you get the full-on Ministry of Silly Walks when they come at you asking for money, and then they lurch at you shouting C**T 500 times when you say no & speed up. New breed of nightmare.

Goodness Weeds.. MNHQ need to be informed. (It will put their gin cupboard in perspective.)

I'm on a new gin, Caorunn. V nice it is

It was repealed in 1743, so you can buy as much or as little as you like now.
Wasn't a popular measure, apparently.

Not a gin fan myself, but have a gallon of bullace vodka steeping in the kitchen as I found a bag lurking in the freezer.

A gallon of vodka?? (I'm way outclassed. )

It's four degrees, wind and rain lashing at the window. Self and pet are still in bed, Mr C thoughtfully washing his tail and watching the commuters having their umbrellas ripped away by gales.

Nothing as lovely as spring in London. A good day for a go on the banana and a light nap.

How to spoil my morning. Firstly all the comments about drink - painkillers mean I can't drink more than maybe one . Then Lana rubbing it in about work - going back (gingerly) today, though running a bit late. Thank goodness for Boycat wanting extra long snuggly cuddles in bed, sets me up for the day that does

There were a lot of bullaces, I needed the right proportion of vodka!
Cold and windy here and heading to the moors later for work, which won't be any better.

Oh Allergic! I usually only have one drink anyway, if that helps. I hope your day is all right, don't overdo it and let's hope it's better than expected with Boycat waiting to welcome you home.

Mr C been sick on clean floor. He's all right, appetite fine and everything () .

PB has found a moth and is after it.

He has the soul of a hunter, that's the second time in a week. RIP Mr Moth.

I've just bought a family-sized bar of fruit and nut for my own consumption for the first time in about 20 years (no Twirls left). I am disgusted.

Remember when the big bars were quite hard to break? This is so thin it's almost see-through and the nuts are just grit, ie no nice big almonds poking out let alone a big chewy raisin.

I had great hopes of the sugar tax, all the delicious-sounding products campaigners described set my mouth watering. How anyone could get obese on this beats me.

So horrified I went back for a treat bag of minstrels. Something should be done.

Just as well that you don't have fond memories of Creme Eggs, Lana. Judging by the utterances of others, they are now 'no longer what they were'.

PS - he does have the soul of a hunter. Gawd help any real mice that venture upstairs.

How is the banana faring?

I'm proactively tackling My Confectionery Betrayal by eating all of it so it doesn't upset me again tomorrow :) So brave :)

Happy O

He's not keen.

Sorry. On the banana, I meant.

O has briefly ventured into the sun outside and now decided he would rather stay in and cuddle
