Excellent late entries, Dandydunns in particular capturing the true meaning of Christmas 😁 You are right Hertscot, nothing beats a real tree. I had real trees for years but bought a good quality artificial one years ago to save money. But I do miss a real tree. As soon as I can justify getting my money’s worth out the artificial one I will be back to a real tree. Looks like you have settled in well there 😊 Hope everyone had a lovely day. I am having palpitations anytime I catch sight of the smart meter. Whose bloody idea was it to invent these. They should be up there with fags and booze in the health hazard category.

bonzo Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 I've came to the conclusion the smart meter is what it is.....you might spend X amount of money on heating while you're off work but how much would you spend in the pub 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last, a reason to embrace a smart meter ! £6.99 for a bottle of Brancott Estate sauvignon and a similar bottle in a pub circa £30. I now just need to check how energy I am using to work out how many bottles of wine I can have before it becomes less cost effective to stay at home. I will have to wait until I sober up right enough calculate all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the drumstick for ? Do you dip it in the cocktail and sook the liquid off ? That could actually prove quick cost effective over the course of a night. And of course , for Mrs B , has the added benefit of shutting you up when it sticks in your teeth after it goes soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shots actually remind me of a game we used to play at Christmas with the family when the kids were wee. It was a play station game called Buzz and the game was a science lab or something and the professor would create potions and you had to copy the order of his colours by hitting the colours on the control stick. It was quite funny especially with older relatives whose co-ordination wasnt that good. I have now become that relative 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might well have been called a flump, there was a Christmas menu and they were all based on old fashioned sweeties. The one with the cinnamon stick was a mulled wine sour.

Mix them all together in a jug and pour into wine flutes or cocktail glass. Thats it ! Make sure the wine and cranberry juice are chilled though. Add a raspberry to the glass if you want to be posh 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 negroni champagne cocktail on boxing day for me. Make a negroni (equal parts gin, campari, red vermouth), pour about a quarter of the flute with that, quarter with blood orange juice and top up with champagne.

Fairbairn Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Among other things I was drinking Winter Old Fashioneds on Christmas Day. Bourbon, Chocolate Bitters and Maple Syrup.

First festive period for a while without any sort of covid restrictions and you get earache. Have one of the above tasty cocktails as a chaser and you will feel much better 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more reason to have left your house a midden 😁 Bet no one noticed those sparkling floors after a few of those . Got Mr Tidy a wee book ‘drunk and disorderly in retirement’ for Christmas , saw this and thought of you and Mrs F 😊 Have never seen pensioners looking like those 3 burds right enough . Who over the age of 65 shaves their legs . The wine must be preserving them. Even more reason for a swally 🍷 My news year resolution… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
