This morning I am mostly researching expensive gin

[Luis Anaconda]

Did you know you could get anti-ageing gin?

[Ash]

The infant here won't be ageing much thanks to gin.

Colla-gin?

[redgunamo]

Did you know you could get anti-ageing gin?

No, but I did know you can get gin for hounds. And matching tonic water too

Did you know you could get anti-ageing gin?

I've never really got the whole Gin thing, it's essentially swally for ladies crying on stairs at parties.

"'E's not worth it Ange, you're worth a million of him!"

It's ace for sitting by the pool in the climates J

[Luis Anaconda]

Colla-gin?

Oh - you know it

I did check the date on the article to check it wasn't April 1

I have sampled this but I find it's still a chemically tasting mess. I hear it's handy for your malarias, mind

[Sir C]

The purpose of gin is to make your quinine palatable, j.

[Ash]

I don't like the taste much. I wouldn't fancy living off juniper berries.

That's the accompanying tonic water, rather than the gin.

:clap: :clap: Wouldn't have thought they get on well with the ice though

[redgunamo]

The purpose of gin is to make your quinine palatable, j.

Right. And you should never trust foreign water.

[Luis Anaconda]

You can say that about a lot of spirits if only drink the cheap stuff

[The Jorge]

It aint me Babe(siosis)

Indeed not. Have you ever seen this place on Talbot Road?

http://sacredspiritscompany.com

Thought it was all housing along there

[Sir C]

Right. And you should never trust foreign water.

I never drink tapwater in any country, r.

Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water?

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

[Luis Anaconda]

No, but I did know you can get gin for hounds. And matching tonic water too

Though it hasn't done too much for poor Rebecca's eyesight

Yeah, but I mostly drink beer anyway though. How do *you* manage?

No. That was just a joke, actually. Little did I realise it would actually have collagen in it. :hehe:

Did I ever mention the strip I sent to Viz? It was Hulk Hogarth, the troubled painter.

I didnt get a reply

[Burney]

"'E's not worth it Ange, you're worth a million of him!"

I could drink G & T by the bucketload. Has never made me in any way maudlin. A great, great drink.

You just object to its colonialist connotations imo.

[Luis Anaconda]

No. That was just a joke, actually. Little did I realise it would actually have collagen in it. :hehe:

I did rather hope so :-)

[Sir C]

Yeah, but I mostly drink beer anyway though. How do *you* manage?

A little beer. Rather a lot of wine. Champagne at weekends. Scotch or gin before supper.

You know. The usual.

[Burney]

My God. They all look eminently slappable, don't they? :-(

Nono, it's just the teary women on stairs thing, and the taste.

Blind at this time of the morning. Admirable really.

[Sir C]

You don't take your Dry Martinis with vodka, do you? :-(

[Ash]

Indeed not. Have you ever seen this place on Talbot Road?

http://sacredspiritscompany.com

Talbot Road in Highgate? No, I thought it was all housing too.

I know this place, though, which is on their outlet list.

[The Jorge]

You don't take your Dry Martinis with vodka, do you? :-(

Well it is preferable, even if it was just made up so Bond could flog you (ugh) Smirnoff.

If I'm honest I prefer a Watermelon Martini, if you're drinking gay you might as well drink flamin'

[redgunamo]

Left to my solitude, I'd happily never touch the grape ever again, in any of its forms. But the wife... :-|

So tell me, Jack.

When did you first .... um .... develop this theory?

Yep, just round the corner from my sisters

I'm guessing you wouldn't be too keen on this though

Is that wine place new? Mind you haven't actually been down Junction Road in some time

[Luis Anaconda]

Happened to the best of us, red. And it is a holiday tomorrow. At least in civilized parts of the country

[Sir C]

Very sad to read today that Bert Kwouk wasn't so keen on Peter Sellers :-(

I used to like Bert Kwouk :-(

[redgunamo]

**** me, so it's true?! I thought my son was trying to banter me off.

Three three-day weeks in a row, lazy *******s :furious:

[Ash]

Sellers was a ****ing nutter by all accounts. Genius, but 'difficult to work with', as the polite term goes.

[Luis Anaconda]

Never a good sign when even Spike Milligan could think he went too far

[Luis Anaconda]

Not another one till August though :(

[Sir C]

Yes, his biography written by his son has some amusing incidents of Peter's lunacy; Spike had a tale or two to tell about him as well.

Still and all, I honour and cherish his memory.

[The Jorge]

Yeah, bit like Lemmy getting kicked out of Hawkwind for excessive drug use

[Ash]

Wrong drugs, not excessive.

Speed v Psychedelics

See also: The Stranglers not accepted by punks for the same reasons.

Second Highgate reference of the thread, too.

It's a bit more nuanced than that, they didnt mind a bit of speed but Lemmy never stopped.

What were The Stranglerses drugs of choice? I thought they were all all about the brown

Odd relationship with his mother. When he was seeing Britt Ekland, his mother decided to compete by dressing like her in hotpants and whatnot. :-(

[Ash]

Similar to Hawkwind, I think. Bit of speed, I expect, but they were in many ways a psychedelic band.

The Stranglers, really?

fwiw all of my favourite bands were psychedelic wons, especially the whole late 60s/early 70s wons.

[Ash]

Is that wine place new? Mind you haven't actually been down Junction Road in some time

At least a couple of years now. Bit poncey, and N just gets her sovblonks from Majestic. Junction Road now has a Costa, a Coffee Republic, an independent won, and very soon, in the tomb of The Lion (RIP) a Starbucks. :-(

[Jake]

A lychee martini is also a tasty, gay, old thing.

Blimey, didn't know Bond was a time-traveller as well as everything else

If you didn't know that, you haven't been listening. Smoke a spliff and listen closely to Down in the Sewer. Then play it again listening just to the keyboards, then again for the bass, and again for the guitar.

I'm actually named after an Australian sportsman. :-| Not even Ashley Mallet either.

The King of Spain? Although he's from Surrey or somewhere, I think, rather than Australia.
