I thought this must be a wind up in a Daily Express article but turns out to be true.

Other items include lawn signs reading “In this house we don’t mourn dead transphobes”

Mims Davies MP, the Shadow Women’s Minister, said: “My actual first thought was who actually relaxes with a cup of tea with a death threat on to women?

“This is appalling and, once the item is quickly removed from sale, serious questions need to be asked.”

Perhaps the straw covered ones were a fire hazard!

They were brilliant. Many a lamp base was one of those bottles, repurposed.

You might be able to still get them!

Did you know that straw covered bottle was called a 'fiasco'?

My lovely MIL introduced me to Mateus rose on the basis that at 11% it’s a good lunchtime wine. Back when lunchtime drinking was good clean fun and not a disciplinary offence

Thanks to the menopause I can’t really drink much anymore , so I can’t be doing with grown up drinks when I do have one now. I want brightly coloured cocktails with fruit garnishes , umbrellas and pipe cleaner monkeys. It’s full on kitsch or nothing

Every day is a school day!
A fiasco! One for Countdown's dictionary corner.

Red Sekt, assuming it’s the sweet stuff, is quite niche here in Germany. (Rosé Sekt well-chilled is lovely.) I was given a bottle once (probably by mistake, a supermarket trolley dash-style gift; or, more probably, rotten cheap). It was nasty on its own, so I decided to mix it with a bottle of advocaat. Now THAT was a mistake. A nuclear-level hangover accompanied by (look away now) curdled lilac vomit.

Stick to the white port.

😱

Not having been trained in instant obedience, I failed to look away quickly enough.

Lessons learnt.

Yes the red Sekt was sweet. I'll look out for Rosé Sekt next time I'm in Germany.

Mixing anything other than lemonade with Advocaat to make an English snowball sounds insane... Although I once knew someone who mixed port and Guiness. THAT was a disgusting hangover.

Oy. My worst hangover and churning incident was after drinking most of a bottle of Amaretto. I can't even bear to smell it now.

@CrystalSingerFan Port to take the bitter edge of the Guinness, was it? Mm. I had the misfortune of hosting someone who "took the edge off" some a lot of schnapps by mixing it with Cointreau. Never got the stain out of the rug.

@LeticiaMorales I can imagine that all too well.

Oh dear, @booksnbaking . You probably had to burn it.
Remember when they used to have those red buckets with sand in on the platforms of Underground stations?
I filled several buckets on the platform of Baker Street Station.

I'm trained to instantly look whenever anyone says not to.

I can remember cradling a Cypriot toilet as I vomited blue aftershock so violently it shot out of my nose when I was about 18.

Those were the days my friend.

Ah, the nasal vomiting, that's quite a physiological extravaganza, isn't it?
I suspect your sinuses have never recovered.

Great thread! 🍸

Aha! Found my Baileys recipe -

2 teaspoons of instant coffee mixed with 7 tablespoons of boiling water or (preferably) 2 expresso shots. Leave to cool completely.

Mix together with -
1/4 bottle of whisky
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
4 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 tsp of liquid glycerine

Whisk really well and then bottle. Keep in fridge. Keeps for about a week.

(Original recipe included a pinch of cinnamon but didn't add much and looked off putting in the bottle)

It's turned out to be so much better than I thought! 😉

Most excellent 👌

Would you consider a mug with “Die howseitgoin” written on it an edgy joke?

I’m here for the Baileys recipe. My partner loves making anything from scratch. Disappointed you can’t call weird incels weird incels but hey ho! Moderators gonna moderate.

If you set fire to it you would have looked like a DRAGON.

Whoa 😮!
Don't be tempted, @Jammington ! No!

Anti-Irish as well - it is from the Irish name Bridget, and 'biddy' was a derogatory term for an Irish woman in domestic service.

Until you posted that the other day, I was unaware. In NE England, it can be an endearing (possibly slightly patronising) term, like "old years."

As for Kill, did you see the pic doing the rounds years ago? Kill Scouts, which had added, Ah, that's a bit harsh.
