Be Excellent To Each Other

Truly you are the man who has everything.

(I probably should have noticed you added it to your wishlist in 2005 and clearly never revise it.)

Was this thread a cry for help?

More painkillers than anything else, I think

I still don't feel right

Thanks. It looks like it might be a "and they lived happilly ever after" scenario, but it's early days yet.

Yes, good luck!


Why not invite her on here, so we can find out what she's like?

If only she had a friend that wanted to know what the forum was like.

All in good time.

So this is how Grim...'s post count got so big.

That is an outrageous slur. I just accidentally hit the wrong part of the screen on the iPhone.

Also, for Mimi, check dis shit:



A photo of my marriage certificate that is not altered, save for blurring out my ex-wife's name (for her privacy, natch).

You signed your marriage certificate 'Gazchap'? You are my new hero

The registrar signed it for me, after asking me "how do you sign your name?". I guess she was expecting something close to my real name, but that'd be a lie as my signature does, in fact, read "GazChap". So I told her this and spelled it out for her.

Had I known she was then going to write it on the bottom of the marriage certificate, I probably wouldn't have said it if I'm honest. Although it might have come in handy when getting the divorce put through - "GazChap, who's that then? Does he exist? Is he real?"

Back with alcohol; I am drinking Vernay Terrasses de l'Empire Condrieu - it is quite nice but being the 2005 vintage a little past its best, what with Viogniers really benefiting from being drunk in the youthful exuberance stage of their life. Once this is gone I may go and find some Port to wash it down.

I was going to ask if it could possibly have been used to get an annulment under any legal terms?

Is it wrong that I have already ahd a pint of 7.0% lager this mroning?

Just one?

On my second now. It is a polish lager called Okocim, it is quite nice.

£50/m?

Probably not, as it has my real name on the certificate too (you can see it blurred at the very top of the photo)

Oh, OK then. I still think you are verging on the heroic.

Well, if nothing else it makes for a moderately amusing anecdote

OOooh - yes.

Present and correct.

I can still type, though. [Everyone - "We wish you couldn't, though"]

I am drunk again, hooray!

Burgundy this time (Albert Morot Beaune Bressandes 2003, tres nice).

As Harry Waugh put it - the first duty of wine is to be red, the second is to be Burgundy.

Now do I want a glass of Port?

One always wants port. And Stilton. Goddamn it, why do I only have the stilton.

Had a nice bot of Croix des Bardes earlier, which I'd not tried before. I'm usually wary of stuff on offer, but it was a reasonable drink.

In the meantime Bombay Sapphire and tonic will do.

Only Port here - throw the Stilton east good man and I'll hurl the fortified back in your direction.

Oh, heavens. I can't wait until it hits open fire time. There is nothing in Christendom as wonderful as an evening in front of a log fire drinking a decent Port and eating Stilton from oat crackers.

Tonight Matthew, I am mostly drinking tequila sunrises. They take so bloody long to make though.

Port is much quicker, I walked down the stairs, opened the cupboard and there it was. It's not bad for basic ruby off our bin end list.

Hells has some Croft ruby in the cupboard that may start calling me inna bit.

I have brandy.

Ooh, good call. I have some cider brandy from Dorset what I done bought and not tried yet. Bostin.

I'm getting worryingly tempted to go an find some grappa now, my head may end up hurting in the morning.

LET'S GET READY TO GRAP-PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I suspect the

will cause detriment to my golf tomorrow....

That stuff has some freaky billboard adverts. The faces, man. The faces.

Which stuff?

Brahma, dude.

THE FACES

Not seen them.... Their beer is good too when I am on world tour.

This is th weirdest beer advert



Drinking non-alcoholic beer, gives you skin like plastic and one giant hand!

That's gross. I may go out and buy a bottle of red so I can have a glass to help me sleep tonight.

All the taste of beer without the effects! Don't see the point, personally. Might as well have a soft drink or something. It's like a smoker hanging around house fires and bonfires. All the joy of smoking, but without the nicotine!

Indeed.. it's absurd. *orders a dozen crates*

Looks like it makes you pregnant too

That's just a beer belly.

I've lost my ability to drink, having semi-given it up 18 months ago. Went out last night, had a few pints and a couple of bottles, what I would've considered to be a very light evening's drinking a couple of years ago, and I have a bastard of a headache today. Oh no! I am getting old!
