Drink

Down in darkest Kent we found one day on a day out a small farm with a sign at the gate, 'Cider for Sale'

So we bought some, first taste was not bad but after a few sips you came to realise this was something else, may have done well in the petrol tank of the car.
Spilled a drop on some concrete, cleaner than using bleach.

It may well have cleaned the dunny pipes on it's way down.

Since the lock down I have been cooking with wine, had to give it though when I fell asleep cooking the chips.

#155.. your in the same company as most Terry, even Edgar Allen Poe liked his pop.
As one of his poems suggests, Called Lines of Ale....
Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again,
Such hilarious visions clamber,
Through the chambers of my brain,
Quaintest thoughts
Queerest fancies ,
Come to life and fade away,
What care I How time advances.

Don’t like his choice of words abput his fancies , and doesn’t. Sound like Newcastle Brown Ale.
Thing is I suppose to keep out of his company.

Cheers JS.

Just seen , sorry to hea abut your cousin . JS.

When Nelson died at the Battle of Trafalgar Oct 1805, it's said that his body was preserved in a barrel of Brandy for the voyage back to England,
when the Barrel was finally opened in England there was no Brandy left in the Barre, so was it a "Leaky Barrel or thirsty sailors" :confused::) , cheers

Nelson arrrre, he be well pickled.

Newcastle Brown, a drink that spelled disaster for many.
Heard some odd tales over the years about how it came about and what it did to some.

The man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man.

The you go to AA, wonder why the other AA does not call itself by some other name?

Always remember the tale many Liverpool dockers would tell my old man included, One of them found a cask of alcohol down the hold of a ship, It didn't last long many got a go at it, When the hold was almost finished this cask was still there the hatch boss shouted down one day ok lads the professor from the hospital of tropical medicine is coming with a driver to take the cask with the pickled monkey in get a lashing around it, :hair_raising: A lot of guys spitting feathers for weeks. Terry :cripes:

#161..Ted the amount of times I carried alcohol in the cargo over the years , there was nearly every time broached into. It wasn’t until I worked out of Montreal on a foreign flagged vessel that I found out the prove of who made a profit and loss on such occurring. The important thing for the ship was that they had the empty containers . If no empty containers , then No insurance,. It’s not something you could go around saying, now fellas if you decide to have an unofficial drink make sure you leave the empties behind. The claims were dismissed by the insurance if no physical proof that it was ever on board. Cheers JS....
